Addison Rae Easterling - @addisonre
Not too long ago, Addison Rae was settling into life as a freshman at college when she began posting choreographed TikToks. Today, she’s the highest-paid TikTok star according to Forbes. It’s safe to say that Easterling’s life as one of the hottest TikTok stars looks very different from how it did less than two years ago. She still posts fun content dancing, lip-syncing, and hanging out with her family (all also on TikTok), but she also lives life like an A-lister in California. Recently, she made her reality TV debut on Keeping up with the Kardashians and has other fun projects coming up such as a lead role in the much-anticipated He’s all That.
Brent Underwood - @brentwunderwood
In 2018, Brent Underwood bought an abandoned mining town in California called Cerro Gordo for $1.4 million. When he was visiting at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, he got stuck there for a month and eventually decided to move in as the town’s sole resident. Over the next year, this TikTok star started documenting all the cool stuff he found in town, the mines he explored, the old buildings he renovated, and the adventures he embarked on. Soon enough, Underwood had amassed a large following with interesting guests visiting from all over, including Jeff Goldbloom, Cole Sprouse, G-Eazy, and many more.
Kirk Maxson - @kirkmaxson
Kirk Maxson has a very niche specialty and over 800 thousand people following him on TikTok. The San Francisco-based artist started making drip sandcastles on the beach to deal with the stress of the pandemic and posting them on TikTok—apparently that resonated with a lot of people. But sandcastles aren’t the only thing this TikTok star and artist can make. You’ll see other types of art on his account as well, including collages, sheet metal flowers, and beautiful pairs of brass wings created especially for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Who said TikTok is just for dancing?
