Amid the controversy over Nike and Bud Light's partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, let's take a look at the influencer's net worth

Dylan Mulvaney marked her debut on TikTok in 2020, and slowly became a popular transgender influencer. Her growing popularity on the platform has led to several brands partnering with her, and that has helped her build a fortune. According to multiple reports, Dylan has a net worth of over $1.3 million and is still growing.

For those wondering how Dylan makes her money, as per multiple reports, the influencer has a massive reach on social media platforms, and brands are collaborating to promote their products. She currently has more than 10 million followers on TikTok.

In an interview with the New York Observer, she shared,

"When the pandemic hit, I was doing the Broadway musical Book of Mormon. I found myself jobless and without the creative means to do what I loved. I downloaded TikTok, assuming it was a kids’ app. Once I came out as a woman, I made this ‘day one of being a girl’ comedic video. And it blew up."

The transgender influencer further told the publication,

"I really don’t know another place online like TikTok that can make a creator grow at the rate that it does. Some of these other apps really celebrate perfection and over-editing and flawlessness. I think with TikTok specifically, people love the rawness. They love people just talking to the camera. I try to approach every video like a FaceTime with a friend."

She shot to fame by sharing a video series called “Days of Girlhood,” in which she documented everything about her life, from getting feminization surgery to discovering fashion items. On March 13, 2023, she completed 365 days of girlhood.

Bud Light sent Dylan Mulvaney a commemorative can of beer with her face on it to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the start of her gender transition. She shared an Instagram post with the commemorative can, which was followed by online backlash and calls to boycott the brand.

However, both Bud Light and Nike did not end their partnership with her and announced that they'd continue to work with Dylan Mulvaney.
