'90-Day Fiance' Alan and Kirlyam Cox's Net Worth

Reality television relationships are complicated. Of course, all relationships are complicated. But playing out your relationship drama for all the world to see adds an extra layer of difficulty. The stars of 90 Day Fiance are already dealing with a lot of relationship stressors. After all, they’re from different cultures, they use marry quickly to obtain their visas, and then there’s that element of television filming. Many of them don’t make it as a couple. However, some day, including a couple from the very first season of the show. What is  ’90-Day Fiance’ Alan and Kirlyam Cox’s net worth and what are they doing today?

90 Day Fiance TV Show

If you aren’t familiar with this popular reality television show, here’s basically how it works:

  • It features couples that live in different countries, one in the United States and one elsewhere.
  • They are in a relationship, usually having spent only a very small amount of time in person with one another.
  • The person from the other country comes to the United States on a 90-day visa.
  • During that 90 days, the couple must marry, or else the individual has to return home due to visa regulations.
  • The television show follows them along the 90-day journey, documenting their ups and downs, and their wedding if they end up having one.

There are many 90 Day Fiance spinoff shows. For example, “The Other Way” features couples in a similar situation except that the person in the United States moves to the other country instead of vice versa. The show has many updates and follow-ups. For example, The Single Life features people whose relationships didn’t work out the first time and now they’re single and dating again. So, whether or not they’ve made it as a couple, viewers often get to see how their lives are turning out.

Who Are ’90-Day Fiance’ Alan and Kirlyam Cox?

90 Day Fiance first aired in 2014. Therefore, we’ve seen eight seasons of the show so far, following many couples along their journeys. (Each season features multiple couples.) Alan and Kirlyam Cox were featured on the very first season of the show. The couple is still together today.

They Met When She Was a Child

Many of the 90 Day Fiance couples originally met online. However, the story for these two is a bit different. Alan is several years older than Kirlyam. When he was 20, he went to Brazil on a Mormon missionary trip where he met Kirlyam and her family. She was a tween at the time. Nothing untoward happened, and they didn’t speak again for years after he returned to the United States.

However, they reconnected again at a mutual friend’s wedding in Brazil when Kirlyam was 19. At that time, they fell in love. They were engaged to be married the following year. And thus began their journey with 90 Day Fiance.

Their Shared Values Might Have Held Them Together

The couple is Mormon and it’s possible that their shared faith helped hold them together through the difficulties of a cross-cultural marriage. They certainly faced their challenges. For example, when Kirlyam first arrived in the United States, she wanted to try working as a model. Alan had problems with that, and eventually she decided not to. Their shared values could have helped them to navigate these tricky waters better than perhaps some other couples would. Whereas many of the 90 Day Fiance couples come from extremely different backgrounds, these two had a lot in common.

Separation During Pandemic

The couple had to endure a bit of a physical separation during the pandemic. Kirlyam was spending time in Brazil and got stuck there as a result of the pandemic restrictions. Their son Liam was with her at the time. However, the couple managed to stay strong through that challenge as well. By this time, they had several years of marriage behind them, providing a strong foundation for the separation. Many fans of the television show say that they’re the strongest, sweetest couple, the ones with the least conflict and the best likelihood of staying together for a lifetime.

’90-Day Fiance’ Alan and Kirlyam Cox’s Children

The couple brought their first child, Lia, into the world in 2017. Their second child, Enzo, was born in June 2021. The family lives together in the United States today.

’90-Day Fiance’ Alan and Kirlyam Cox’s Net Worth and Income

Obviously, much of ’90-Day Fiance’ Alan and Kirlyam Cox’s net worth comes from their reality television experience. They earned income from the show itself during that first season. They’ve also appeared on many follow-up shows and spinoffs over the years, further contributing to their shared wealth. However, in more recent years, they’ve decided not to continue to participate in the show. They felt like it had moved in a different direction than what they had and that it was time for them to move on.

How Do Alan and Kirlyam Cox Earn Money?

Like many other reality television shows, the couple earns some money from social media, celebrity promotions, etc. However, they don’t focus their energy on this as much as many other television celebrities do. For example, Kirlyam has a YouTube channel with about 36K subscribers. However, she hasn’t posted anything in the past few years. Her Instagram account has 258K followers, but she typically only posts a few times per month.

So, where does ’90-Day Fiance’ Alan and Kirlyam Cox’s net worth come from then? According to Nicki Swift, Alan earns the family’s income through his work as photographer and videographer. He has a production company called 0907 Productions through which he does that work. He also works as “a photo-simulation specialist and project manager.” He reportedly even supplemented TLC’s footage with his own during that first season of the show. Kirlyam is a stay-at-home of their two sons.

What Is’ 90-Day Fiance’ Alan and Kirlyam Cox’s Net Worth?

So, what is the couple actually worth? They have actually chosen to be very private about their finances. Most reports online place their net worth at somewhere between $10K and $100K. It’s hard to believe that it would be as low as $10K. A photo simulation specialist typically earns a six figure income in the United States. Combined with their reality television work, it seems like they would have been able to save more than that at this point in their lives. However, there’s really no specific way to know since they’ve opted to keep that information to themselves.

1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s Net Worth

January 13, 2022 By Leave a Comment

1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton's Net Worth

Amy and Tammy Slaton started sharing their weight loss journey on television less than two years ago. Over that time, they’ve really made a name for themselves as reality TV stars. The two sisters have both made some strides in their weight loss journey, with Amy meeting her goals. Interestingly, Amy Slaton earns a lot more than her sister. So what is 1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s net worth?

Who Are Amy and Tammy Slaton?

Amy and Tammy Slaton are better known as the 1000-Lb. Sisters from the reality television show of that same name. When the show began, they had a combined weight of approximately that much, hence the attention-grabbing name.

Amy Slaton was no stranger to sharing her story with the world before they began working on this show together. She had a YouTube channel where she shared product reviews and more. In fact, she supported herself in large part thanks to this channel. However, she also got some disability income because of the fact that she is legally blind due to an eye condition.

In any case, the sisters did a video together in 2014 called A Chubby Bunny Challenge. It’s received over two million views. And it helped gain them a following, Amy especially since it was her channel, that ultimately led to them getting the television show that has made them, considerably more famous. Tammy started her own YouTube Channel a few years later, in 2018, with her first episode showing her baking a cake.

What Were Their Lives Like Before The Show?

Amy and Tammy Slaton grew up in a financially unstable situation. They struggled with money and both found it hard to get and keep jobs because of their various health conditions. Amy was able to support herself through YouTube, and she also has a husband who works to support the family.

Reportedly the girls had a tough childhood. Family members, including their mother, called them names including fat and lazy. And yet, they did nothing to help the girls lose weight – neither by providing good nutrition nor by offering them emotional support. Tammy is 35 years old now and began comfort eating to excess at the age of 11 after the death of her grandmother.

In addition to the two sisters, they have two additional sisters and a brother. Their mother worked three jobs to support them on her own. Still, they never had enough money. The local church sometimes fed them or they ate fast food for meals.

Tammy Slaton’s Journey on 1000-Lb. Sisters

Obviously, by the time they were invited to be on their own show, both Tammy and Amy were extremely overweight. They both wanted to get bariatric surgery to assist them in their weight loss. Amy has gotten the surgery, had a child, and reached her goal weight since the show began.

Tammy, unfortunately, hasn’t had as much success. Much of the show has focused on her personal relationships, including two problematic boyfriends. Her relationship with Amy seems to have suffered since Amy has begun doing well in her weight loss journey, leaving Tammy behind. Amy attempted to help Tammy — hiring a home health aide but to no avail. Tammy often refuses to exercise, even just to walk to the mailbox, and continues to struggle with concerning health issues.

Where Does 1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s Net Worth Come From?

Obviously, most of 1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s net worth comes from her appearance on the sisters’ reality television show. Reports indicate that the sisters likely earn the same amount of money per episode for the show. Guesstimates place that amount at $5,000 per episode or $50,000 per season. The sisters are in their third season of the show right now and will likely get a pay increase with every new season.

Of course, that’s nothing to sneeze at. But $50,000 isn’t mega-rich either. In some states, it’s not even enough to pay the bills. Luckily, they live in Kentucky, which has a relatively low cost of living. That said, like many people, they want to earn more than that.

Therefore it’s no surprise that both sisters supplement their income. They do so in the ways that help grow income for many reality television stars: public appearances, YouTube and other social media advertising, merch sales, etc. Tammy Slaton has 135, 000 YouTube subscribers, with over 6 million total views.

What Is 1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s Net Worth?

According to the latest sources, the two sisters have quite a difference in their net worth. Amy Slaton earns considerably more than her sister. Therefore, her net worth is about one-quarter of a million dollars. In contrast, reports indicate that 1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s net worth is only about $100,000.

What accounts for the difference? In part, this has to do with the things that were going on before the sisters ever became reality television stars. Amy started earning money for herself on YouTube several years before Tammy did. She gained a bigger following and worked more at sponsorships and other opportunities. She was financially stable before her sister. Tammy is playing catch-up.

Additionally, one can speculate that perhaps Amy also gets more opportunities related to the show because of her “success” compared to Tammy. The point of the show is to highlight their weight loss journeys. Of course, those journeys naturally have ups and downs. But overall, Amy is viewed as successful in her weight loss. People who are interested in inspiring “before” and “after” stories are drawn into that. As a result, she might get more opportunities to earn income as a spokesperson, etc.

Khaby Lame’s Net Worth

January 6, 2022 By Leave a Comment

Khaby Lame's net worth

Khaby Lame was named Tik Tok’s number one breakthrough star of 2021. The 21-year-old Sengalese-born, Italy-based content creator is the second-most-followed person on the app, with expectations that he’ll soon reach number one. As a result, people are asking, “what is Khaby Lame’s net worth?” Here’s what we know.

What Does Khaby Lame Do?

As the New York Times puts it, Khaby Lame (whose full first name is Khabane) is “the everyman of the Internet.” He started off posting videos in Italian but quickly gained recognition for his terrific facial expressions and gestures. As a result, his videos are now wordless. Mostly what he’s known for is producing reaction videos to to life hack videos. He shares someone’s life hack, something that’s usually ridiculous in some way – often in its unnecessary complexity – and shows his own reaction to how ridiculous it is. And people are eating it up!

Who Is Khaby Lame?

Khaby Lame's net worth

Khaby Lame was born in Senegal in March 2000. However, by the time he was one year old, he’d moved to Italy with his family. He worked in a factory, but he was laid off in March 2020. Looking at that date, you can guess the reason: COVID. Remember how badly Italy was hit at the beginning? Lame’s father really wanted him to try to get another “real” job. However, Lame decided to devote himself to Tik Tok. He watched videos, he played around with the stitch and duet tools, and he figured out his signature style.

The Everyman

The New York Times dubs it the “everyman” style. So much of the content that we see on social media today is highly curated. Many makers spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to get their videos just right before they publish them. In contrast, Khaby Lame has a very under-produced style. It’s the style of what social media initially was meant to be. Moreover, his “duh-like” “muted reactions” are “universal.”

As a society, we love social media. And we also hate it. We know that there are a lot of things wrong with it. We know that it’s ridiculous a lot of the time. Therefore, it’s funny to see someone else taking on the video trends of the current time and making fun of them without really having to say anything at all. We connect with this. We’re laughing – mostly at ourselves for being a part of this whole silly thing.

Khaby Lame by the Numbers

As of the writing of this post, Khaby Lame has 125.2 million Tik Tok followers. He has 2 billion likes on that platform. As aforementioned, these numbers make him the second most-followed person on the app. Dancer Charli D’Amelio, the only person with more followers than him, has 132.9 million followers. Many people believe that Lame is poised to take over that number one spot.

The 2 billion likes makes him the number one breakthrough star on the site for 2021. The person in second place is cosplay makeup artist Abby Roberts who has 1.4 billion likes. Compare that to the third place which is the popular K-Pop band BTS; they have less than 45 million likes. As you can see, Khaby Lame is considerably more popular than almost anyone else on the platform.

Of course, even though TikTok is his primary platform, he’s on other ones as well. He has 65.2 million Instagram followers. He has over 1 million subscribers on YouTube. And he has over half million likes on Facebook.

Khaby Lame Personal Life

One of the most interesting, and challenging things, to come out of his stardom is recognition that he’s not an Italian citizen. As aforementioned, he was born in Senegal, but moved to Italy at the age of 1. Therefore, really, Italy is all he’s ever known. He went to school there, Italian is his first language, he’s passionate about being Italian … but he never received official citizenship. And it was never a particular problem for him. Except that now it might be.

For example, he’s had opportunities to travel, including to the United States, which could further his work and increase Khaby Lame’s net worth. However, he has a Senegalese passport, which makes it much harder for him to enter the United States that if he were an Italian citizen. He’s working now on obtaining that citizenship. However, the way citizenship laws work in Italy (it’s based on your bloodline, not whether you live there or even were born there) pose a problem so far.

Other than that, his personal life is pretty average. He loves soccer. He’s dating another social media personality, 18-year-old Zaira Nucci. He wants to buy his mother her dream house someday.

Of course, when you’re a social media star, your fans are sort of part of your personal life as well. And he has some dedicated fans. You’ll find fan pages across the globe on multiple languages including German and Arabic.

Khaby Lame’s Net Worth and Income

It’s likely still going to take time for Khaby Lame’s net worth to grow. After all, he only became this Tik Tok famous in the past year or so. However, he’s well on his way to financial success. First of all, Tik Tok is now his full-time career.

According to the New York Times, he’s working with Tik Tok’s Creator Fund to earn money. He also earns money working with brands including Barilla pasta. And he’s been invited to work on YouTube collabs with people ike King Bach. Moreover, he runs an online store through which he sells his merchandise.

Techie Gamers places Khaby Lame’s net worth at about $2 million. That’s about the mid-range of what a variety of other sources have reported in recent months. However, Celebrity Net Worth, usually a solid source, actually places it considerably higher at $5 million. Techie Gamers says “he charges brands $50,000 for a single promotional video on TikTok and is estimated to make $200,000 per month.”

Tony Lopez’s Net Worth

December 31, 2021 By 1 Comment

Tony Lopez's net worth

21-year old Internet celebrity Tony Lopez is very popular for his dance content. However, he’s also very controversial. Controversy can be good or bad when it comes to making money via social media. Let’s take a look at the story of Tony Lopez including Tony Lopez’s net worth.

Who Is Tony Lopez?

The U.S. Sun explains that Tony Lopez is a 21-year-old Internet celebrity. He was born in August 1999 in Las Vegas, Nevada. PopBuzz adds that he’s a multi-racial Internet star with a Cuban dad and a mom whose ethnic background is a combination of German, English, and Scottish ancestry. He’s known in large part for his membership in The Hype House Collective. His brother Ondreaz is also a Hype House member. PopBuzz reports that they have another brother, Xavier, who is not part of The Hype House.

What Is The Hype House Collective?

Imagine getting nearly twenty different young people together. Put them into a mansion in Los Angeles. Then give them the freedom to create and share content online. That’s the idea, and a successful one, behind the Hype House Collective. There are 19 different TikTok influencers in the group, including Tony and his brother.

PopBuzz notes that The Hype House is behind two huge social media stars: Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae. They also note that as of August 2021, The Hype House has been working to change its image. Due to controversies around both Hype House brothers, its unclear what relationship they’ll have with the collective in the months and years to come.

Lopez Brothers’ Controversy

So, what exactly is this controversy? Film Daily explains that both brothers have been accused multiple times of inappropriate sexual conduct, including inappropriate behavior with minors. Tony Lopez was often the focus of these allegations, although both brothers have been accused. One of the most problematic accusations was that Tony Lopez reportedly asked an underage girl for sexually explicit photos, an allegation that he denies. He’s had his own nudes leaked online, reportedly due to catfishing.

Things got worse in early 2021. Two minors sued Tony Lopez for ““sexual battery and emotional distress.” then brother Ondreaz was sued for having sex with a 14-year-old girl. The latter brother has stayed mostly silent on the accusations. In contrast, Tony Lopez is vocal about denying all claims. Film Daily reports that he’s tried to fix things online with some blanket apologies that most followers find to be insincere, inauthentic and/or incomplete.

The sexual misconduct allegations are at the heart of the Lopez Brother’s controversy. However, Film Daily reports that old tweets from circa 2019 reveal that Tony Lopez has posted “racist, homophobic, and mysoginist” content in the post.

Note that at this time these are all allegations. To our knowledge nothing has been proven “beyond a reasonable doubt.” That said, this kind of controversy does affect Tony Lopez’s net worth. For example, Skincare brand Bliss chose to stop working with the influencer due to these allegations.

Tony Lopez’s Social Media Following

Tony Lopez is obviously known best as a TikTok content creator. He has close to 23 million followers and over 1 billion likes on the site. He only follows about 315 people from his account. The U.S. Sun calls him “one of the most-followed viral creators on TikTok.”

Tony Lopez also has a relatively strong following on Instagram. More than 5.5 million people follow him there, although he has fewer than 200 posts on the site. He follows less than 80 people there on Instagram. Like many influencers, it’s not about who he follows but instead about gaining the following of others.

He has a Twitter account with a little over 400,000 followers.

Tony and Ondreaz have a YouTube account together called The Lopez Brothers. It only has a little bit of content on it, yet it does have more than 1.5 million subscribers. Tony Lopez videos are regularly popular on other YouTube channels as well. A dance compilation on Viral Crunch from 2020 has received over half a million views. A Slowmo Dance tutorial on the Flighthouse channel received a similar number of views.

Hype House Social Media

Obviously, Tony Lopez’s net worth is supplemented by his relationship with The Hype House. Therefore the collective’s social media plays a role, too. Here are some of those numbers:

  • Nearly 20 million TikTok followers with over 650 million likes.
  • Over 5.5 million Instagram followers despite just over 100 posts.
  • Over 1.6 million YouTube followers.
  • They’re also on music video app Triller, where they have about 40,000 followers.

Tony Lopez Personal Life

The U.S. Sun reports that as of August 2021, Tony Lopez was not dating anyone. However, they link him romantically to past relationships with Sofie Dossi and Nikita Dragun. Sofie Dossi was on America’s Got Talent in 2016, where she showed off her skills as a contortionist and aerialist. She is now a social media star showcasing those same talents. Nikita Dragun is also social media personality, known mostly for her make-up and modeling content. She is also a Hype House Collective member.

What the U.S. Sun reports about his current relationship status is only part of the story. TMZ explains that Tony Lopez was briefly married to Sarah-Jade Bleau. She is also a dance content creator and influencer on social media. However, she filed for legal separation this year after only eight months of marriage.

Tony Lopez’s Net Worth

So we know that Tony Lopez earns his money as a social media influencer, primarily for his dance content, which he grew in large part thanks to his relationship with The Hype House collective. But what exactly is Tony Lopez’s net worth? Celebrity Net Worth, which is one of the most reliable resources for this type of information, places Tony Lopez’s net worth at approximately $2 million.

We aren’t sure how this year’s divorce may or may not impact Tony Lopez’s net worth. TMZ reports that Sarah-Jade Bleau wanted to establish guidelines that prevent alimony from being paid by either of them. Furthermore, she claims about $300,000 from their mutual checking account belongs to her.
