Jeffree Star Net Worth – Jeffree Star Really Is That Rich

Jeffree Star Net Worth: Jeffree Star is an American model, fashion designer, DJ, singer-songwriter, and makeup artist who has a net worth of $200 million. Not only is he one of the highest-paid YouTube stars in the world, but he also runs a cosmetics empire called Jeffree Star Cosmetics, which is where most of his fortune now comes from. He is known for his striking hair color, which is often hot pink, and many tattoos.

Personal Life: Jeffree Star was born Jeffrey Lynn Steininger Jr. on November 15, 1985 in Orange County, California. Tragically, his father, Jeffrey Steininger Sr., committed suicide when he was six years old. He was raised by his mother, Marra Shubyann Lindstrom Steininger, who was a model. When he was young, Jeffree experimented with his mother’s makeup. In fact, he started wearing makeup to school every day in junior high. After graduating high school, he moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in modeling and makeup. He also maintained his interest in music. Coming to Hollywood, he worked at several makeup counters while booking side gigs for weddings and fashion shoots.

Over time, he began making celebrity connections for his makeup skills. He also developed a following on social media, most notably on MySpace, where he posted makeup tips and songs. Eventually he developed one of the largest early MySpace follow-up structures with photos receiving tens of thousands of comments. By 2006, he was the MySpace personality with the most exposure to MySpace. He was also known as one of the most popular unsigned artists on MySpace. His songs also regularly topped the MySpace Music Independent Artists chart.

<Jeffee’s debut album Beauty Killer was released in September 2009 on Popsicle Records. The album debuted and peaked at #2 on the Top Heatseekers chart and reached #122 on the Billboard 200. It peaked at #22 on the US Independent Albums chart. It also made the Top 10 for US Dance/Electronic Albums. At the time of writing, it is Jeffree’s only studio album, although he has also released four extended tracks and five music videos. His 2008 EP Cupcakes Taste Like Violence also made the top 10 in several charts. He worked with Kesha and Nicki Minaj and signed a record deal with Akons Konvict Muzik in 2010 for a second album that was never produced. He later claimed that personality conflicts with Akon were the reason.

Business Personality: Jeffree founded his eponymous cosmetics company in 2014 with all of the savings he had earned from his music and makeup careers up to that point. He would later say that he was near bankruptcy at the time and considered his music career a failure when the company was formed. He was among the early makeup personalities to use YouTube to promote his brand and himself. Jeffree’s early YouTube uploads were still mostly music-related, but he soon shifted to promoting Jeffree Star Cosmetics. Thanks to friendships with celebrities like Kat Von D, his fan base grew rapidly.

His YouTube following would eventually surpass 15 million, with more than 1.7 billion video views.

His first release was a collection of liquid velor lipsticks. All 30,000 units sold out within minutes of launch. A line of lip scrubs, highlighter palettes and eyeshadow palettes followed. He then released a range of accessories and clothing including makeup bags and we.

In 2018, the first mall store in the US began stocking Jeffree’s range, but the majority of his sales today have come directly from his own warehouse in Los Angeles.

<<: In a 2018 interview with YouTuber Shane Dawson, Jeffree claimed that the annual gross revenue of his makeup empire tops $100 million. This could not be confirmed as it is a private company, but based on Jeffree’s home and car collection, which we see in another Shane interview, the company is clearly doing very, very, very well!

Today, Jeffree Star has investments in marijuana, real estate, and merchandising. He owns the shipping and fulfillment center used by Jeffree Star Cosmetics and other drop-shipment companies.

In 2019, Jeffree and Shane teamed up to launch a line of eyeshadow and liquid lipsticks. In an October 2019 YouTube video, Jeffree claimed that if the eyeshadow sold out, they would make $35 million, with $10 million going to Shane. In the case of repeat orders, the numbers would eventually rise even higher.

Between January 1st and December 1st, 2018, Jeffree earned $18 million from his various business ventures. That was enough to make him the fifth highest paid YouTube star on the planet. In 2019, Jeffree earned $17 million, making him the fourth highest-grossing YouTube star on the platform.

Personality: Jeffree is known for being involved in a number of high-profile feuds with fellow celebrities. He is constantly feuding with fellow makeup tycoon Kylie Jenner, frequently belittling her products as inferior, derivative, and imitation. He’s also had feuds with Kylie’s sister Kim Kardashian, fellow YouTuber James Charles, and former close friend Kat Von D. The feuds seem to only make Jeffree more popular.

Personal Life: Jeffree was in a relationship with social media personality/model Nathan Schwandt from 2015 to January 2020. For several years, they lived in a huge mansion in Calabasas, California with five dogs. Jeffree bought the 10- and 15-bedroom, 15-bath home in 2016 for $3.62 million and then poured millions into renovations and upgrades. The 7,000 square foot home sits on a nearly 30,000 square foot lot with panoramic views of mountains and valleys.

In December 2019, Jeffree spent $14.6 million on an incredible new home in Hidden Hills, California. Spread over 7 acres, the property features 8 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms in 25,000 square feet of living space. Watch the video below:
