From being an amateur video editor to participating in the Paris Fashion Week and signing lucrative contracts for global agencies, Vinnie Hacker's meteoric rise through social media platforms is there for everyone to see. However, the 22-year-old explained that it was all about the people and not the numbers in an interview with VMagazine (published on June 5, 2023).

“It feels good being able to meet fans because I’m working half the time, so when I do get to go out and meet them, it’s awesome,” commented Hacker from his home in Los Angeles.

Hacker grew up in a catholic household and was passionate about religion since childhood. His mother, Maria Hacker, is a 911 dispatcher, while his father is an electrician. The 22-year-old played baseball for Seattle Select and O'Dea High School as a teenager.

According to the TikTok star, he never fished for fame when he started posting on social media. He would just stream on his socials, hoping to get some views along the way. One day, during his junior year at high school, a video of Vinnie Hacker standing in front of the mirror went viral.

His follower count instantly blew up from 20,000 to several hundred thousand. Vinnie Hacker went from just another streamer to a social media sensation overnight.

However, social media fame was a fleeting prospect, according to Hacker. Therefore, the 22-year-old started exploring other avenues of success, especially modeling. In early 2023, Vinnie Hacker signed a contract with IMG Models, diving headfirst into the industry that had interested him since adolescence.

“I’ve been modeling since I was about 15, but for about two or three years, I wasn’t really getting anything. So being able to finally go into this space and learn it, as I’m going to all these shows–it’s really fun for me,” explained Hacker.

With palpable enthusiasm, Hacker explained how he would like to be the jack-of-all-trades for the new generation. From establishing clothing lines to modeling to launching his start-ups, Hacker had everything in mind.

“I’m the type of person to go into all kinds of different areas,” he shared. “I like to start up a bunch of different things and then bring everything together.”

At present, Vinnie Hacker has captured the attention of fashion juggernauts like Dior and Saint Laurent and has even made his mark in Fashion Week events across the world.
