TikTok only needed a global pandemic and a few million people locked up at home to become the fastest growing social network in the last two years.Many new millionaire stars emerged thanks to this impossible combination: people confined within four walls, like hamsters in the wheel of platform capitalism, and a lot of free time to test creativity with challenges, viral dances and a low sense of ridicule.Some newly minted tiktokers managed to retain a huge community and made gold.Do you know how much they can earn?One of the most spectacular cases was that of Kabhy Lane, who went from being a simple factory worker to becoming one of the shining stars of the platform.Many wonder.How did you get it?And, above all: How much money do you earn?The source for the lucky few who can wear the “disgustingly rich thanks to TikTok” label is Forbes, which from time to time compiles a list of those illustrious minds who have managed to monetize even the sound of their intestines on a bad day.For quite some time, Charlie D'Amelio has been the top content creator making money from her videos and her endorsements with some of the biggest brands in the world.It is estimated that her assets amount to 18 million dollars.That is to say: you could drink the blood of a rabbit and perform a satanic ritual, run over a panda bear or steal an old woman's walker and still make a good amount of money thanks to the visualizations and the platform's monetization system .We assume that D'Amelio will be sad like the sad Keanu Reeves meme since he has known the most terrible news: he has lost his throne.She is no longer the most profitable and followed content creator on the platform.The reason?Khaby Lame, a tiktoker of Senegalese origin, has dethroned her with even more dizzying numbers of followers and money.Lane's story seems tailor-made for lovers of overcoming, the 'no one has given me anything' and all those dubious narratives about people who say they have made themselves.According to various sources, this content creator worked for a long time in an Italian factory, with endless hours and little hope for the future.The pandemic finished him off with a layoff that led to his fate in life, and like many others (certainly not so lucky), Lane decided that TikTok was the best place to paddle the dark sea of ​​free time.A post shared by Khaby Lame (@khaby00)He started out on the platform unassuming, using just a few tricks with a lot of ingenuity and filming himself reacting wryly to DUY videos on his cell phone.He himself says that his success has a reasonable explanation."My videos are not complicated, I think that's the secret."They will not be so simple, if he has achieved more than 130 million followers only on TikTok.Missing, of course, are the figures for his Instagram account.There he has 78 million, almost 50% more than his rival D'Amelio.A post shared by Khaby Lame (@khaby00)CA Knowledge, another website specialized in calculating the wealth of internet stars and the degree of monetization of their content, estimates that this TikToker could have pocketed more than 13 million euros since it began its journey, following the billing system of the platform.TikTok pays approximately 7 euros for every million reproductions.Like other nouveaux riches on the platform, she earns an astronomical amount of money for views, and the same thanks to advertising campaigns and sponsorships with brands such as Hugo Boss, with whom she has signed a contract for several years.His views figures support him, of course: one billion views per month, according to some sources.It is rumored that the figure he earns for each Instagram post could be around 20,000 dollars, and that, monthly, it would reach 200,000 thanks to both accounts.It is estimated that on TikTok he would earn about 7,000 euros per month, although this figure is not confirmed, since both the platform and its stars usually keep their earnings secret.
