Khaby Lame becomes most followed Tik Tok star

Khabane "Khaby" Lame, a mute TikTok celebrity, has surpassed all other stars in terms of popularity.

With a staggering 142.8 million followers, Lame was named the most popular TikToker in the world on Wednesday, according to the NY Post. The enormous number of followers surpasses the 142.3 million that of American star Charli D'Amelio.

Lame, who is renowned for being silent and letting his facial expressions do the talking, has not yet made any comments regarding the achievement.

Khaby Lame, who was born in Senegal, went to Italy with his family when he was just one year old, and has remained there ever since. After losing his job as a machine operator at the start of the pandemic, he started working on the app in 2020.

Lame started making TikTok videos of himself dancing or playing video games during the initial lockdowns. Lame's content didn't truly take off until he started using the "Duet" feature on TikTok.

His early responses to popular "life hacks," which tended to be convoluted, gave the impression that he was an authentic, uncommercialized guy who wasn't overly concerned with being famous on social media but was instead just having fun.

The 22-year-old has over 78 million Instagram followers in addition to having the most followers on TikTok. He appeared as the co-star of Juventus' introduction of  Manuel Locatelli and as a guest at the Venice Film Festival thanks to his enormous fan base.

Being as successful as Lame in such a short period of time opens up countless chances and frequently results in substantial cash gains.

Fans are now curious as to how much money Lame has gained as a result of his meteoric climb on social media.

Khaby Lame Net Worth

Lame made the majority of his fortune in 2021 and 2022 because his digital career only recently began. He reportedly earned an impressive $6 million in 2021 and appears poised to repeat, if not top, the record in 2022, according to HITC. This will be mostly funded by businesses using his channels for ads and by TikTok's standard video earnings.

According to CA Knowledge, Khaby Lame is worth $13 million, so far,  in 2022.

Lame's income from his recordings and endorsements deals are the largest contributors to his net worth.

 Lame is undoubtedly making a profit for each video he publishes, despite TikTok's creator algorithm's remarkably low payout per 1,000 views. His staggering amount of far over 2 billion views proves this.

Advertisers will shell out a fortune for Lame to promote them on his social media sites given his astounding followings on TikTok and Instagram.

The TikTok star has signed a multi-year deal with Hugo Boss, which is undoubtedly quite lucrative for Lame.
