TikTok has become one of the best ways for content creators and influencers to make money in social media today. Though some TikTok stars don't declare their financial status; for example, Mashtag Brady's net worth remains a mystery, plenty of others have their totals listed. They make plenty of cash from both the money TikTok pays the content creators to endorsement deals to their growing fame leading them to branch out to other avenues like movie roles and reality TV appearances.

TikTok allows video creators and influencers to earn a lot of cash by using monetized content, such as product placements in videos. That means TikTok comedy creators, dance s, cosplayers, and more can make money on the platform. Some content creators on the app have been earning millions and have worked out deals with many companies to earn thousands of dollars for each post they make for a specific product. Many social media celebrities have even moved their internet fame to television, movies, and stage shows, amassing even more wealth thanks to TikTok.
