In addition to being CoverGirl's first male spokesperson, there are not only so little about James Charles that's pretty impressive. Of course, he's had a rough 2019, but things are looking up. A top beauty blogger teaming up with a top TikToker has the world going crazy for the two. Of course, the latter one refers to Charli D'Amelio [net worth: $4 million]. He does often hang out at the Hype House, despite not being a member yet.

Born on May 23, 1999 [age 21], in Bethlehem, New York, James Charles Dickinson got the full support from his parents when they converted their basement into a makeup studio for him to film his tutorials. Before he even graduated from Bethlehem Central High School in June 2017, he was already mega-famous. Of course, pairing up with Katy Perry for CoverGirl can have that effect.

With such a skyrocketing career, many others from a similar field have had their eyes on him. But since bouncing back from his decreasing subscriber-count, he hasn't stopped bringing in money, just as regularly as he used to.

There's Nothing Stopping James Charles' $25 Million Net Worth from Further Increasing

As of March 2020, James Charles owns a staggering net worth of $25 million. With more subscribers than NikkieTutorials, Bretman Rocks and even Kylie Jenner [net worth: $1 billion], it's obvious where the money comes from. But his sources of income are not limited to social media only. And like many, his fortune comes from his own merchandise sales and lucrative partnerships in the beauty world.

In case you haven't noticed, So Lashy! By BlastPro Mascara is not the only partnership he's had. His name is used as discount codes for numerous beauty brands. His Palette line with Morphe has been the most popular one yet. Apart from YouTube, his Instagram follower-count is also overwhelming, surpassing Jake Paul [net worth: $15 million] as well.

First Off: Social Media Earnings

James Charles earns big from social media. Thanks, Captain Obvious! The earnings that every social media influencer get comes from sponsorships from various brands advertising their products through their posts online. No, the partnerships are a completely different thing. There can be sponsorships on social media without signing partnership deals with those brands.

Charles is determined to continue his online journey despite everything he's had to endure in 2019. And it was a pretty smart video he made towards the end of the subscriber-count battle with Tati Westbrook [net worth: $10 million] to bring his Sisters back to his subscriber list.

YouTube Salary

The 21-year-old first started his YouTube channel in December 2015 and uploaded his first ever video, Blue/Brown Serpent Makeup Tutorial in March 2016. It must have gained quite an attraction in the makeup world at the time, because in just a few months, he became the face of the CoverGirl brand in October that year.

While that first video has over 1.5 million views, his most popular videos these days don't see less than the 10 million views mark. At the time of writing, James Charles has over 17 million subscribers and posted over 250 times. With a total of almost two billion views in those videos, he earns about $20,500 per post. His guests on his makeup courses include Kylie Jenner, Jeffree Star [net worth: $180 million], Charli D'Amelio, Maddie Ziegler [net worth: $5 million] and Nikkie de Jager, while also having invited David Dobrik [net worth: $7 million] over.

The content he puts up has led him to a Best Channel Award win in the Beauty category at the 8^th Streamy Awards in 2018. You also might've seen his younger brother Ian Jeffrey in some of his YouTube videos.

Instagram Income

In an obvious way, he's also big on Instagram. With such a lucrative line of passion, there's a lot of beauty brands coming for his posts to sponsor their products. There are a lot of Morphe x James Charles promotions on his page, but he mostly shares updates on his YouTube journey and, at times, all the fun he has in his daily life.

You might call him the Brand Ambassador of Morphe, as well.

It's almost the same with YouTube subscriber count. He's collected over 16.5 million followers on his page, James Charles, and posted more than 800 times. As is the popular case, Instagram pays a lot more than YouTube for sponsorships, so there's bound to be a vast difference in his earnings from Instagram. Due to all the sponsorships and merchandise sales through Instagram, Charles earns somewhere from $33,200 to $55,400 per post. But in the end, it all depends on the amount of engagement for those sponsorships each of his posts gets, on Instagram or YouTube.

And Even TikTok

There's no limit to what youngsters can do with all the social media platforms that are presented to them as the years go by. And it makes sense that Charles would join the growing popularity of TikTok. He announced his arrival into the video-syncing platform on November 4, 2019, jokingly telling Danielle Cohn [net worth: $2 million] to move aside, 'cause, of course. But if you haven't noticed, they are real good friends, and Charles also celebrated Cohn's birthday (16^th, so she says) with D'Amelio and several other prominent TikTok users.

In the end, though, his collabs with D'Amelio are still the most popular of his posts, gaining at least 20 million views in those two clips, about twice his average views on TikTok. With already over 11 million followers and 60 posts on his TikTok page, James Charles, his earnings range from $6,700 to $11,200 per post through sponsorships. Remember, TikTok has that functionality for advertisers to place their advertisements for a certain fee.
