YouTube star Emma Chamberlain has gained widespread popularity online through her candid video blogs since 2017, amassing a substantial net worth in the process.
At just 24 years old, Emma boasts a significant online following with over 12 million subscribers on her main YouTube channel and nearly 15 million followers on Instagram. She is also the co-founder of Chamberlain Coffee, a brand with a social media presence of over a million users.
In addition to her online success, Emma has become a prominent figure in luxury fashion campaigns, collaborating with renowned brands like Stuart Weitzman.
Despite her current success, Emma’s journey to fame started from scratch. Recalling her humble beginnings, she mentioned that her first subscriber was her father, highlighting her initial excitement at building her fanbase.
Emma’s financial success is evident, with a net worth estimated at a staggering $30 million (£22 million) according to Celebrity Net Worth. Forbes reported that in 2023, she earned around $20 million (£14 million) from her various ventures, solidifying her status as a top creator.
Forbes’ latest findings show that Emma has generated $9 million (£6 million) in the current year up to June, positioning her as the 18th Top Creator of 2025. Notably, her return to YouTube after a hiatus was met with relief from fans who feared she might abandon the platform permanently.
Acknowledging the toll of producing weekly content on her mental health, Emma took a break to prioritize her well-being. She revealed the challenges of managing all aspects of content creation independently, leading to periodic burnout episodes.
Despite these challenges, Emma has resumed her video uploads and continues to attract a large viewership. Furthermore, she is set to make her film debut in the upcoming horror movie Forbidden Fruits, directed by Meredith Alloway and featuring a star-studded cast.
