She is the only Filipino and creator on the list to have served in the military. Forbes stated in her profile, “It’s worth noting that though Poarch is one of the most-followed TikTokers and has impressive engagement, she’s not earning as much as others with similar bona fides, like Addison Rae Easterling or the D’Amelios.”
The 26-year-old also collaborated with luxury fashion brand Moncler and video game Call of Duty. In 2021, her single Build a B*tch landed on 58th spot on Billboard Hot 100. She recently collaborated with Lauv for her latest song, Crush, which was released in September.
