The Net Worth of Karlee Steel
How rich is Karlee Steel? As of early 2020, sources inform us of a net worth that is close to $750,000, earned largely through success in her various online endeavors.
Her online fame has led her to numerous opportunities, including modelling as well as sponsorships, which seem very likely to continue, and so her wealth increase too.
Early Life and Online Beginnings
There is very limited information when it comes to Karlee’s life, as she has not shared a lot of information about her family, childhood, and education. It is known that she grew up in Ontario alongside three sisters, and later moved to Michigan following her rise to fame online. At a young age she became exposed to the ever-expanding world of social media, which eventually gave her the idea to try her hand at gaining fame online.
She first created an account on Twitter in 2010, but it wasn’t until three years later that she really decided to foray into the industry, really beginning her online career at the age of 15 by creating a channel on YouTube. The site is a video-sharing website owned by Google, bought from three former PayPal employees in 2006 for $1.65 billion. The site allows users to upload their own video content to share to others. Viewers can comments and subscribe and more. Over the years, it has become one of the biggest video libraries on the internet.
YouTube Content
With uploading videos on her channel, Steel started to gain a bit of attention, which motivated her to continue producing content, but it wasn’t until she started creating song lyric prank videos that her popularity increased significantly, with her subscribers following suit – she gained over 1.2 million over the next six years. She approached the website more as a vlogger, producing various types of videos depending on her interest, or what appeals to her viewers.
Several of her most popular videos include using the website Omegle – the free online chat website allows users to socialize with others without the need for registration. The service was created by an 18 year-old, and randomly pairs one-on-one chat sessions. The website gained a lot of popularity over the years, with comparisons made to AOL during the early 1990s. While she’s gained a lot of fame for her videos, she’s also attracted a lot of controversy, because of creating content that could potentially be a bad influence on her viewers.
Expanding Her Reach
While Karlee’s YouTube content was flourishing in terms of viewers, ad revenue, and many other aspects, she decided to further her reach by creating accounts on other websites, and began streaming regularly on the website YouNow. The live broadcasting service allows users to create their own live content in real time. The majority of users on the site are under 24 years old, chatting, performing, or making jokes. During the peak of its popularity, it competed with sites such as Periscope. Sometime in 2015, the website started changing its policies and features, and at one point collaborated with “America’s Got Talent”.
In recent years, the website has attempted to attract more of its lapsed following back, by implementing features similar to that of Twitch.
Karlee also started posting regularly on the app Musical.ly, transitioning to its later iteration in TikTok, launched in 2017 by ByteDance, the Chinese company which bought Musical.ly The app allows users to create short videos for comedy, talent, and lip-syncing. Users can also create looping videos spanning three to 60 seconds. It is very popular in the US as well as in numerous parts of Asia. Karlee also created accounts on Instagram, Twitter and other sites.
Personal Life and Social Media
For her personal life, it is known that Steel is in a relationship with fellow YouTube personality Conner Bobay – he is best known from finding fame on Vine before transitioning to YouTube after the app shut down. The two have collaborated numerous times on each other’s channels, and even set up their own joint channel called Karlee and Conner in 2016. The joint venture was also successful, managing to gain hundreds of thousands of subscribers in a short span of time.
Similar to numerous YouTube personalities, Karlee is highly active online through accounts on social media. She has an account on Twitter, which she labels as a public diary expressing her opinions and thoughts. Her account on Instagram she uses to post a lot of personal photos, often with friends, during photo shoots, and a few behind the scenes photos while working. Another account she has is on Facebook, but she has not been active on it since 2018.
