Inside the luxurious lives of teenagers who “made it on their own.”
Donald Dougher, who is 15 years old, says that he is “The Richest Kid in America.” It is thought that he is worth between $900,000 and $1.2 million.
Donald Dougher, who is 15 years old, says that he is “The Richest Kid in America.” It is thought that he is worth between $900,000 and $1.2 million.
In the new TV show Bling Life, three of the “self-made” richest teenagers in America show viewers what it’s like to live the high life.
Bling Life recently wrote about three young people who are making a lot of money from their “bougie” lifestyles. They are YouTube influencer Donald “Donlad” Dougher, age 15, designer Isabella Barrett, age 15, and TikTok star Pierce Woodward, age 19.
Dougher joined YouTube a little later than most people, but he didn’t miss out on anything.
The 15-year-old started his YouTube channel in 2019, and The New York Post said that more than 597,000 people now watch his videos.
He calls himself “The Richest Kid in America,” which is an aspirational name. However, he is thought to be worth between $900,000 and $1.2 million.
Dougher said that he started making YouTube videos with FaZe Rug and Tanner Fox, then joined the Piper Squad, and then went out on his own.
“It just keeps getting bigger,” he said.
Most of the videos on his channel show a day in his life, like when he gets his first car or goes to Ikea for the first time.
The teenager said, “The most I’ve ever made from YouTube is about $20,000 a month.”
Dougher said that he is always working on something, but that his parents give him a lot of help. “I work probably every single hour of the week. I’m always putting up pictures and stories. He said, “I’m always doing something on social media.”
His mother, Yvonne, is “always proud” of how hard he works.
She said, “I think if you’re going to do something, you should give it your all.”
During the show, Dougher showed off his new home with a view of downtown Los Angeles, where he lives with his parents and sister, as well as his expensive shoe collection.
Isabella Barrett, who used to be on “Toddlers & Tiaras,” is now 15 and a powerful teen influencer who isn’t afraid to show off her wealth.
I have a taste for yachts, helicopters, and diamonds, and I’m worth a lot of money at age 15.
His favorite pair of shoes is a pair of high-tech Nike sneakers that tie themselves up when you push buttons on them. Dougher also showed off a few other pairs, like a pair of reflective Yeezys, that he said cost between $2,000 and $3,000.
“I like nice things. “I guess I’m kind of posh,” he said. “I like life’s good things.”
It could be that being rich runs in the family. The show showed when Dougher surprised his supportive mom with a $10,000 makeover for her 2019 McLaren 570S, which cost about $230,000.
“I’ve heard her say she wants to wrap it, but she’s been saying that for three years, ever since we bought it,” he said. “So I thought maybe I should do something about it.”
His mother was so happy when he wrapped her sports car in purple, her favorite color, that Dougher joked that his mother “had never hugged me so tight.”
Dougher thought about what was next for him after getting rich and famous so quickly that he didn’t even finish high school.
“The main thing I want to do in the future is grow my channel,” he said.
“I save all of my money or put it back into the channel because I want it to grow and reach the most people, get the most subscribers, and get the most views.”
Isabella Barrett, a teen fashion designer, hasn’t finished high school either, but she’s been famous for as long as she can remember. The blonde influencer first became well-known when she was cast in “Toddlers & Tiaras,” a popular reality show on TLC.
She said that casting her was obvious because she “loves attention” and “being on camera.”
Barrett and her mother started the Glitzy Girl jewelry line, which is said to have made Barrett her first million dollars and helped her become a reality TV star.
“I was called one of the youngest self-made millionaires in the US when I was 6 years old,” she said.
After her gift-sending company, Bear in the Box, failed, she turned to fashion and started House of Barretti, which sells suits for teens that cost between $210 and $599.
She said, “I really didn’t see anyone making them.”
Barrett showed off her new line at New York Fashion Week with 65 models and two outfit changes for herself. The cameras were rolling.
She said before the show, “This is a pretty big day for me because this is a really big collection and there will be a lot of media.”
Barrett then invited people to an afterparty, where she changed clothes six more times and wrote a check for $85,000 to pay for the fancy event.
She said, “Having my own name on a checkbook is probably scary for my parents, but it’s great for me because I no longer have to wait for my mom at the bank.”
Barrett is just having a good time, but the young business owner has been making a lot of money since she was a toddler.
She said, “Right now, I feel like my goal is just to keep doing what I’m doing, because I’m really enjoying it.” “It doesn’t matter as long as I’m having fun.”
At the time of filming, Pierce Woodward was only 17 years old. He is also said to have made his first million before he graduated from high school.
When his social media and jewelry business took off when he was 17, the TikTok star and jewelry designer dropped out of school and hasn’t looked back.
Before he became famous on TikTok and got more than 1.6 million followers, Woodward started his career by posting modeling photos on Instagram.
As his fan base grew, he started his company, Brand Pierre, in the garage of his parents’ house. He used his TikTok fame to grow his brand by making rings for famous TikTok users like Noah Beck and Dixie D’Amelio.
“I remember when Pierce told us he wanted to sell rings online. I said to myself, “You know what? His father, Woody, told him, “You have to start somewhere.” “I had no idea it would turn out the way it did.”
The first drop of 23 rings from Brand Pierre is said to have sold out in just four days. He said that, in addition to making $100,000 a month from TikTok, he now sells between 1,000 and 1,500 rings per drop.
Benyamin Ahmed, a brave fifth-grader, made a collection of cartoon whale avatars and sold one of them for $20,000.
Benyamin Ahmed, who is 12, made $1 million by making NFTs.
“Since I was a little kid, I’ve wanted to save up $60,000 by the time I turned 18, and I’ve finally done it,” he said.
Woodward said that dropping out of high school was scary because “the odds are always against you.”
Shaylene, his mother, was also scared when he first told her. She said she “had a heart attack,” but she still has “a lot of faith in what he was doing.”
At one point, Woodward’s new freedom gave his family the idea to sell everything and travel the world, but then the COVID-19 pandemic happened.
“We had nothing, nowhere to go, and had to start from scratch,” Woody said, but his wife was quick to point out that they were “not quite destitute.”
To show his mother how much he appreciated her constant support, Woodward rented a white convertible Corvette, the same kind of car she sold years ago to help support the family, and put $50,000 in the trunk as a surprise.
He said that Shaylene could use the money to buy any dream car she wanted.
Since the pandemic stopped him from going on his trip, Woodward will leave the luxury sports car behind and go on an adventure.
He said, “I want to go see the world.” “I want to go explore, maybe live in a van for a few years, meet some hippies, and make some rings with some hippies. Everything is fine.”
