Jeffree Star Has Increased His Net Worth by $150 Million in Just Two Years

From Cosmopolitan

If you like makeup and are the type of person who can spend hours on YouTube pondering the meaning of life and/or the best foundations for oily skin, chances are you're well aware of Jeffree Star. At this point, the MUA is probably more famous for his multitude of controversies than his cosmetics line, but makeup has certainly made him a lot of money.

Despite huge amounts of backlash from the internet, Jeffree's net worth seems to have quadrupled in the past two years. Here's how he has made so much $$$:

First Up, There's His YouTube Channel

Jeffree's channel became popular largely due to his eyebrow-raising makeup reviews, with each video bringing in thousands of dollars.

One of Jeffree's most-watched pieces of content is the music video for his song "Beauty Killer," which made him $24,294 by the time it hit the 13-million-views mark. And considering that's just one video of many, it's safe to assume he's making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year thanks to YouTube alone.

P.S. The aforementioned music video aside, a lot of people have wondered how much money Jeffree made from his short-lived stint as a singer. While he did earn a decent income as a MySpace musician, he says the career wasn't a long-term moneymaker.

His Makeup Line Is Hugely Profitable

Jeffree's makeup business is his most lucrative endeavor by far. As of 2018, he even had his own entire warehouse with 100 employees, an operation that cost $175k per month just to run. But considering he's been known to earn up to $5.2 million per product launch, he can likely afford it.

So, how much does Jeffree make from his cosmetics empire each year? Back in August, YouTuber David Dobrik straight-up asked him, and the answer was a shocking "$150 million."

He Has a Bunch of Random Side Jobs

Jeffree says he owns about 10 small businesses, including a marijuana line. "I own investment properties around the world, I invest in the marijuana business," he said in 2018. "I own an entire shipment and fulfillment center, I own a merchandise company, I print and manufacture everything myself. So I have about ten businesses that I'm currently running besides my brand which is my cosmetics company."

His Home Is Worth Millions

Jeffree has tied up a lot of his money in fancy L.A. real estate, including a $14.6 million home he bought in December 2019, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Here's a casual tour:

He also recently purchased a home in Wyoming worth about $1.1 million:

Jeffree's Total Net Worth = Giant

Reports on the precise figure vary, but Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Jeffree's net worth comes in at $200 million—an increase of $150 million from when this article was first published in September 2018, when he was worth "just" $50 million.
