The thing is though that social media requires you to look the part. If you brand yourself as successful social media Youtuber you have to show off in order to stay on brand.
A moderate middle class home would've been a smarter choice, but also a social media career ending move.

Star at least SELLS something tangible and built a business. Sure he looks like Voldemort but he owns it. The guy is loyal to his employees and employs hundreds of people.

I think at some point we have to accept that people like Star (and easily 50% of celebrities) get lucky with timing and image and have success with what is not a very discerning public. These are not brilliant people, they're lucky, and history is full of them, almost none of them remembered.
My favorite example of this is Joseph Pujol who was internationally famous in the late 1800s because he could fart songs. He was famous for years, had numerous musicals written about him and has appeared as a character in multiple movies, yet no one has the slightest idea who he is. Star will be even less influential and remembered than Pujol the fartiste.

On the one hand, I think it is great that ordinary artists and people have the opportunity to create an audience and sell their products without having to go through major corporations who hand-select the ones who make it and give back a paltry sum to their chosen candidates.
I get it. The concept of what is entertaining has expanded - it's no longer sit-coms, films, cop or hospital dramas, and music.
However, it's unbelievable to me how many of these are make-up titans, with no real background in make-up. I guess real make-up artists have to work - but I don't understand why people who earn money off their craft have been pushed aside by these nobodies? Bobbi Brown is the only make-up artist that I can think of who has transitioned to a line.

Judging by what I saw in the JS/Shane Dawson series, creating a makeup palette consists of nothing more than pointing to color swatches and then thinking up cutesy names for said colors. Then you tell some actual talented people what you want the packaging to look like and they create it for you. Bam, done.

R76, I found the Conspiracy YouTube show fascinating because it showed how a product is brought to life. Jeffree already has a production company and deals with collaborators in place so obviously Shane Dawson, a complete novice in make-up, didn't have to do much. However we were shown each step along the way, like how the packaging went through various iterations, and that was fascinating.
The show itself was extremely well put together and presented Shane Dawson's journey as a classic hero's journey where he was pulled into a new major situation, faced obstacles on the way and came out victorious. Jeffree played the part of an evil yet powerful witch queen who made it all happen.

Jeffree Star is basically Kylie Jenner if she was a tranny hooker in a free clinic waiting room. Oh wait....
Nate is perpetually drugged up. Either because that's the only way he's able to get intimate with The Tranny Cryptkeeper or because Tranny Cryptkeeper keeps him drugged up all the time to control him. When they move into that house, they're going to build a massive vault to contain Jeffree's massive handbag collection which probably reeks of weed and used sex toys. A good way to devalue them. Then they'll paint it a tacky pink, put in a few pieces of furniture and 50 pinball machines and then let the dogs shit everywhere. Voila! Home Sweet Home!
Angelyne pulls off the pink and garish theme a whole lot better than Jeffree does. And she's nearly 70, selling overpriced "rare" and "exclusive" merch she has a warehouse stacked with out of the trunk of her corvette and is also allegedly hooking to make ends meet. At least she's beginning to start allowing herself to be photographed without a fan (though she's replaced the face with sunglasses tilted downward) again.

The first time I even heard of him was during the silly James Charles feud. That certainly didn't leave a very positive impression since he came off as a total and utter cunt, but it became apparent during the Shane Dawson / Conspiracy web series that he's quite masterful at the way he handles media. Who knows how much of the feud was fabricated. I certainly started understanding him better, even though I can't say I want to watch anything from him besides the Conspiracy series. Pairing Shane Dawson with him was a total masterstroke.

Say what you will about Jeffree but he's worked his ass off to get where he is. He's apparently always using bodyguards when doing public engagements since the hate is very real. Just imagine how much hate mail he's received over the years. It takes courage to proudly be what you are and keep going on. Obviously Jeffree happened at the right time when gay rights were already getting good but we all know it still isn't easy.

Shane is an incredible impersonator and his characters were fun specially Shanaynay
I've watched The beautiful world of Jeffree Star the webseries and they go into detail on how much money Star makes and how much Shane could make launching a pallet and the last episode shows the whole process and how he sold a million units in 2 hours and made close to 5 million.
I couldn't care less about make up but it was a very entertaining and informative look at this particular business and it explains very straightforwardly why Jeffree is so rich.

All these girls have big-time feuds with each other. James Charles was (believe it or not) the face of Covergirl in 2016. And they are fierce -- always getting into cat fights with each other which play out on Youtube. One of the more recent feuds was about James using his money and influence to "manipulate straight guys to believe they are gay." That one was because of Tati Westbrook, another beauty influencer (and a biological womnan). After she called Charles out on it (the guy was a waiter!) he immediately lost three million followers. And it just went on and on. She recanted, the followers came back, etc. James is a baby Jeffree and he's on his way.

That’s clearly a sign that the primary relationships in their lives are either missing or messed up and they’ve replaced these relationships with their pets. Unfortunately people who have been severely hurt by family (as Jeffrey has been) and end up with a lot of money, think that they can surround themselves with things that cannot hurt them be it mansions, “yes” people and pets. Jeffree has spoken over and over again about “how hard last year was” with the “death of 2 dogs”..these are not normal people problems. People are trying to survive!

Once he started making good money he made smart investments, bought stock, property, etc. That's why he's so rich today. I doubt his own makeup makes up even 10% of where his money is coming from.

Well Dr. Phil you're wrong. Depression over pets death has been studied for quite a while now. As society moves away from speciesism and science proves us that animals are sentient beings, they become even closer to humans and are treated deservingly so as part of the family.

I also think he’s savvy with his finances. 6 yrs ago when he started his makeup business he apparently had $400 to his name and he’s scared to be broke again. I think he also said in the series with Shane that his lifestyle is basically money to play with, change. I think he lives off his Youtube money and not his business earnings.

That is not what he said. He said his AdSense money is his 'play' money. He didn't buy that $16 million monstrosity with Youtube 'play' money! And if he's so damn money savvy, why was he ever down to $400 to begin with? You've clearly watched his videos so you must know he blows through money like it's going to last forever. I'm no Suze Orman, but I do know that that is NOT savvy.

Despite all the showboating, Jeffree actually is savvy with his finances. The gucci shit is just what every white trash person does once they become rich, it's a status symbol. He's invested in stocks, in hotels, in the cannabis business, in other more successful makeup companies, and in a shit ton of property, primarily condos and apartment buildings in big cities. He might be white trash that likes to showboat his wealth, but his income isn't stopping anytime soon.

Don’t worry about little Nathan financially. He’s going to make an absolute mint on this breakup. I guarantee lawyers are already in play. His family will be able to keep the property, he’ll be keeping all his cars (he’s sitting on 3 plus mil alone with that), all of his clothes and everything purchased and gifted during the relationship (easily another couple mil.) The biggest thing though will be the business buyout, Jeffree has talked many times about how Nathan has helped with product ideas and names, and that alone will probably net him 10 mil plus, and maybe a lot more, that is if he chooses to take a buyout - he could always demand a percentage of sales forever. All in all we’re probably talking 20 mil plus net walk away. And he’ll get it, because if this does get nasty despite how nice they’re being right now, I guarantee he’s sitting on info that could cancel Jeffree permanently and finish off his business, and Jeffree will pay A LOT to keep that from happening. Welcome to LA and how the rich divorce. Nathan will never be poor again. Hope that dick was worth it!

According to Business Insider he made 18 million in 2018 off his Youtube channel alone. He was in the top 10 Youtubers with earnings between 10-20 million.
Most old people here have no real sense of what Youtube and social media represents today in terms of money and popularity, that's why you dismiss this guy even though he was a worldwide trend on Twitter yesterday due to his break up.
The world has changed, popularity is not centralized anymore. Just because you never heard of someone, that doesn't mean they're not famous with youngsters and loaded with money. Wise up. There are Youtubers making 2 million a year I've never heard of. That's the reality now.
There are many business articles on how much he made with his make up line and how he invested his money, just googled it.

Nathan was a 21/22 year old kid from small town Michigan when he started dating Jeffree. I just looked at a few youtube videos and Nathan looks a combo of depressed, shy, and high in pretty much every video. He is mostly expressionless. Other than saying baby and the occasional peck on the lips, Nate doesn't show any affection or even emotion towards Jeffree. There was even a video of 'cute, sexy moments' and it had nothing in it. I have no idea what the reality of their relationship was but it really seems that Nate isn't happy. His brother lives with them too so maybe he will get a place with him. I read that Nate is co-owner in the cannabis business and has some connection to one of the make-up lines. I am sure for now Jeffree will take care of him but as R283 said, if the amicable thing ends, it will be interesting. I am sure NDAs have been signed but who knows. Nate seems to want out of the spotlight and is a pretty quiet, shy guy so I doubt he will go looking for drama.

I think they had a real romance. However,, in the last docuseries with Shane and the makeup palette, Nate was barely around and if he was, he ran away from the camera. Usually, he'd be seen with Jeffree or at least be affectionate with him like his other videos but I felt there was a disconnect between the two.
This is going to be a sticky situation--financially--- if they are really going to separate for good. Of course, Nate is going to deny there is someone else in the picture. Why blow his meal-ticket until everything is finalized.

In the end Nathan is only 26 and he and his family are now pretty set for life if they manage their money well. He may have been gay4pay or he may be bisexual, who knows. It wasn't a monogamous relationship and it really isn't clear if one or both were in love or if it was a friendship. They likely cared for each other to make it last that long - regardless of what went on romantically or sexually. Jeffree may have just really needed the calm, consistent presence of a trustworthy friend who didn't care about fame in his turbulent, chaotic, dramatic life. As R291 said, Nathan got lavish vacations, expensive cars, really anything he wanted as did his family. Off camera Jeffree may be more low key and more tolerable for longer periods of time as well.

Of course everyone here is bashing the gay guy and blaming him for the break up. What a surprise. I usually don't side with fem catty queens, but I've learned to like Jeffree after the series on him and then this one with Shane.
It's pretty clear by the timeline Jeffree and Nate met before he had any money, so saying this guy was hooking up with him out of interest is bizarre. He was a small town boy fascinated by an urban LA gay dude. It's not even hard to understand. I've seen it happen before. It's actually even a trope in gay themed movies.
Nate has always been shy and retiring and if you actually pay attention to Jeffree's video, he goes into the problems they had. He even mentions Nate's mental health issues and that of his brother. I think it's safe to assume they both connected over their issues.

Their relationship wasn't disingenuous, it was real, but it was hollow. I'm sure they did have plenty of sex and dates and all that, but neither of them were in it for love. Jeffree wanted a hot straight guy to fuck (who can blame him, all of you queens would've done the same thing if you had the funds) and Nathan wanted out of his shitty white trash life in small town Michigan. They both got what they wanted out of the relationship, but honestly it's Nathan that's getting the short end of the stick. Jeffree can get over it and find another guy just like Nathan, but Nate cost himself one hell of a sugar daddy. If he were smart he would've stayed with Jeff till the end and milked that cow for all it was worth, but sadly he never did seem to have much in the brains department. Luckily for him he has a nice thick cock and thanks to Jeffree the world now knows who he is, so if he has even a lick of common sense he'll find another rich cock to hop on. If not, good luck back in Michigan, Opie.

Jeffree is the type to give him a financial parting gift. In the breakup video (I didn't watch all of it) he mentioned how he was always the secrete side-piece until Nate came around. This was before he was famous. There is something very comforting about having someone give you that relationship validation before you made it big. Jeffree probably could feel that the end was near so this house and everything is a way to prepare for the new decade. It's been weeks so they simply held off talking about the breakup until the Holidays were over, can't let real life get in the way of capturing the audience's attention.
Jeffree made $18 million from YT last year, it would be nothing to buy Nate a nice like house somewhere with a couple of million in the bank. I'd do it.

R305 except Nate met Jeffree when he was broke, granted he was as popular Myspace celebrity with a dead singing career. Nate literally got a house from Jeffree, I still think this was a genuine relationship with its up and downs and all mental health issues they brought in to it.
I feel sorry for Jeffree. Nate will recover regardless of the end deal business wise (I think he co-owns the Cannabis business) he's stoned all the time in the videos. Jeffree however is on for a rude awakening. I've worked with celebrities for quite some time and once you get famous and very rich, it's very important to them to keep the old relationships close, maybe that's why this separation is friendly.
It's very hard to date and find someone who's honest and really like you for who you are and not the money you have. This is going to be very hard for Star. I wish him luck.

R310 I agree with you that Jeffree will have a rough time. He trusts Nate and his family and outside of maybe a few trusted employees and his own family it doesn't seem he has many friends or other people he trusts. Whatever their relationship was or wasn't - Nate and Jeffree both just seemed to fully accept each other and didn't make any effort to change the other. Jeffree was so comfortable and trusting with Nate - especially since Nate didn't like social media or attention or talking about his private life. It will be very hard for Jeffree now. He is famous, he has a lot of controversy in his past, he has gotten into drama and fights with so many people and it seems he doesn't generally get along well with others to start with. Finding someone who isn't into him for clout of money or fame will be so difficult. I think he will work to keep Nate and family in his life in whatever capacity he can for as long as he can because he trusts them. I watched a couple older videos and Nate seemed much happier in those ones than the ones from this year. I am sure he will be fine but hope this change is good for his overall well-being.

R324 It can be confusing because in the videos Jeffree often says conflicting things and he jokes around. It is often hard to know what the truth or reality is given some of what he says is for the camera and his Youtube show. For example when Shane goes to his house in the video where he lives like Jeffree for a day, he asks Jeffree what pronouns to use - he or she and Jeffree says use all of them he doesn't care - he uses them interchangeably. That gives people the impression he is non binary - although I agree with you that he actually identifies as a gay man but rarely uses labels. He also says they have a massive custom built bed to fit the people they bring home but later says he only does threesomes on vacation. He just kind of talks out his ass in a lot of the videos, saying whatever.

He could surpass Kylie as his product is way more superior to hers and he probably hustles harder but the thing about Kylie and all the Kardashians is that they benefit from each other. There’s the Kardashian brand and then all the individual brands mushed into one including Kanye, Kris, and Caitlyn. The only person who’s irrelevant there and not contributing to brand building is Rob.

I saw one video where Jeffree was talking about their relationship. He was saying that there are lots of "straight" (he used air quotes) men who have hooked up with him because they are really into the look of a woman. They are attracted to femininity. I am assuming they are gay since they are looking for a feminine man but I guess they still feel they are straight acting because they are attracted to feminine qualities typically seen on a woman. I assume they only want to top and get BJs so they continue this identity as a 'straight' man attracted to the look and feel of a woman. He was saying that Nate had only been with women but that he had been attracted to men who looked like women for awhile which is what led to him reaching out to Jeffree. He was a rural small town kid and there were no feminine men where he lived. Jeffree was saying he himself is attracted to "straight" (he used air quotes again) men who are attracted to men who look like women. It sounds like some weird identity where both pretend they aren't gay men and one pretends he is straight and the other pretends he is a woman. Don't quite get it...even after listening to Jeffree's explanation.

Watched a few more videos and a few things just don't add up. The break up video was filmed in the old house. Not sure when they moved (moving video was posted Dec 21st) but that break-up video was filmed a few weeks ago. According to Zillow the house was bought on Dec 5, 2019 and had been sitting empty so the move happened fast.
Also in the moving video he says that he bought this house 4.5 years ago and there are four and a half years of memories in the house. That house is a 4 million dollar house. 4.5 years ago would be mid 2015, shortly after he and Nathan started dating. If he only had $400 to his name or whatever he has said, how did he buy a multi million dollar home a few months later?

True dat! If you’ve seen Roseanne Barr’s Interview on Rogan she gushed about them and is completely in awe of them and their bodies to the point of wanting to get a fake ass to look like them. This is literally the last person you would expect to hear this from. R348, Jeffee said he had $400 to his name 6 years ago but when he started his makeup business it actually took off really quickly so if you couple that with his YouTube earnings back then, perhaps investments from his business partner (whoever that is), perhaps a mortgage, it’s possible that in 1.5 years he would have the money to buy that $4m home.

I had only vaguely heard of JS until the break up video but since have watched some videos and am a bit fascinated by the lives these Youtubers live. LA really seems to be a world of its own where reality and normalcy have gotten lost. The people in these videos seem so soulless. It all feels so fake and empty and sad in a way. Yes, they have money but at what cost? They have become caricatures, performers, and a product / brand. Some may be able to turn the cameras off and be a normal human but so many of them seem very caught up and intertwined with their online identities. It is a weird world.

R355 I think based on another video he actually bought it in fall 2016 - so the 4.5 years he said was just a little exaggerated. In a fall 2016 video he talks about having just bought that house and how it is being renovated and he is excited to move in.
He also talks in one of the videos with Shane about his self hatred and changing his name, face, and body to try and detach from his past and the pain of this past. He has extensive self injuries scars on his arms and legs and says he covered them with tattoos to hide the scars. He just seems like someone who has always struggled emotionally and can't find peace or contentedness.
Also I am not sure if there was more racist stuff than what they showed in the video but there wasn't much there.

R367 Shane is one of the original Youtubers from shortly after Youtube started. Pretty much his perseverance has made him famous. For years he did a lot of silly skits, parody videos, trying out life hacks, eating videos type things. He would also collaborate with the other early years Youtubers so they helped each other increase their audience. He dated another Youtuber for years as well. He posted often and made lots of content and slowly built a following. About 4-5 years ago, he was well enough known to be in McDonalds and Taco Bell adds. he would have the occasional video go somewhat viral and slowly reel in more viewers. he also about that time started doing conspiracy videos where he would look into a conspiracy theory and those were really popular. His personality has changed over time - he moved away from shock content and went more to poor me - a lot of stories of my rough life and self hatred videos - laughing at himself, his body, his mental health problems. He did a coming out video about 3 years ago and then started dating a guy. He then moved more to life vlogs - giving his audience a glimpse into his so called life. He downplays his success and makes it seem he is just like everyone else - lots of personal problems etc. in the last couple years he has moved more into doing indepth series or interviews - kind of an evolution of his early conspiracy theory videos. He basically just has an audience built up over time of people who follow his life. He still collaborates with all the big Youtubers. His boyfriend also has a channel with like 5M subscribers. He has just slogged away at this for ten years, figuring out what people want to see over time and giving them that content.

Shane was a very good impersonator and comic. He began when Youtube was launched and made his fame by creating lots of skits with characters based on friends and family. He's actually a very good impersonator, its a shame he doesn't do them anymore. Google Shannanay or the aunt who can't cry because of all the botox, they're hilarious and shows his talent.
He then moved to lots of stuff, making short films, a TV show that didn't get picked up, then a podcast called Shane and Friends where he interviewed celebrities and then after getting representation at Gersh then UTA two major Hollywood agencies, he began shooting half hour videos with his friends, sort of like a reality show where he'd hang out with them, who since had gone to be famous Youtubers like his boyfriend Ryland and his friend Garret. They'd go to haunted hotels, travel first class on exclusive airlines, etc.
Then on a genius move, he began a series on Conspiracy theories. It was basically 1 hour videos of him talking about all sorts of conspiracy stuff, from flat earth to aliens and a silly one that got him a lot of publicity, some Internet conspiracy that Chuck E. Cheese would recycle slices of pizzas to make new ones for costumers. He'd always go follow the allegations by going to the place and buying the pizzas and "proving" or disproving a claim. It was immensely popular and it have a Netflix vibe to them, very professional.
Finally he began a series interviewing Youtubers who got canceled out of controversies, like Logan Paul (the dude who went to the suicide forest in Japan and broadcasted their finding of a man who had just hanged himself), or Tana Mongeau and her Tanacon fiasco, a sort of Fire Island situation only for Youtubers and then of course, the now famous series on Jeffree Star which got him closer to the make up artist.
That's pretty much a summary of what he's done.
As for Jeffree's fortune, once again the old farts here lack the historical context of the Internet. Star was the most popular user on Myspace when it was popular, by way of comparison this was during the same time Taylor Swift was also there and practically unknown (also the same time DL's favorite Tom Hardy had his openly gay profile there whose screenshot can be found everywhere today) that's why he got a very $$$ deal with Akon who then considered him to be the new Lady Gaga or something.
It's very possible he got someone to finance his make up line out of his popularity, even after his music career didn't take off he still had massive followers online or maybe he got a sugar daddy I don't know, but it isn't far fetched that someone would invest in him based on his popularity online. There's nothing shady about someone putting money on a popular Internet celebrity, you know someone who isn't old and lacking the understanding of how an online brand works. Clearly the investor was right as we can see today.

To add to the above posters, Shane really is talented comedically in that he has the ability to be self deprecating and constantly poke fun at himself while simultaneously getting you to feel sympathetic towards him. He displays a lot of openness and vulnerability which are important traits for YouTubers since they’re essentially sharing their lives and he’s a sharp contrast to other successful YouTubers whose channels didn’t stand the test of time because they didn’t evolve their content or displayed a limited persona. Additionally, he’s probably one of the best editors on YouTube. Shane is dynamic.

I miss when Shane did skits, he had originality. The humor was juvenile, but he and his channel both had heart. It felt like a real guy making real videos that he was proud of. Then he started making the food videos and the conspiracy videos. That was around the time he started feeling more plastic, less real. It felt less like a guy making videos to make people laugh and more like a factory product designed to make money. He's become completely soulless since starting the documentary series', the videos are empty and other youtubers are paying him to collab and do series' on them, like the Paul brothers. He's a cautionary tale. A symbol of what Youtube used to be and of what its become. It's the story of The Lorax and Shane is the Onceler: a man who started out with a dream, who put actual heart into work that he cared about that slowly became a soulless corporate product as he got more successful over time.

Both Shane and Jeffree have been at this a long time. They also make a lot of money from merch and products and sponsorships. Their channels become advertising for their products. Shane now plays a demure, shy, anxious type funny guy most of the time - it is funny to remember his earlier content and his more outgoing and energetic style. These guys have worked hard for close to 15 years - they started doing this in their teens and are now in their thirties. Both have evolved a lot in the content they produce.
Shane has also had a life long weight problem that he has been pretty open about - some lots of people relate to him about weight, eating disorders, body image issues, etc.

Not true at all. I've followed Shane from the beginning and he always made videos about his anxiety, his struggles as poor growing up in Long Beach and his past as a morbidly obese guy with dysphoria. He's now a little heavy than before, but for about 10 years he was very skinny and most of his comedy at some point addressed his problems of acceptance and struggles with weight.
The very first Shannanay video was of her making fun of a fat Shane followed by him telling the story on how he began making videos on Youtube during his time as a salesman for Jenny Craig which got him and his mother fired from their job after the video went viral (as viral as it would go back in 2008-2009).

Frankly, I think it’s smart that he’s evolved and that he’s open to different opportunities like getting into makeup. That’s the way to survive in the entertainment industry nowadays. He also seems to have a talent for interviewing and being an insightful lens into the life of his subjects. The series with Jeffree was awesome and allowed us to get a really interesting glimpse into his life. He comes across as very unassuming and non-threatening which puts those around him at ease. That’s really his superpower because he can just get other people to come off as stars and shine. He has a video where he surprised his mother with a visit to Kathy Griffin’s house which was quite entertaining.

R375 you are probably right. I have only seen a smattering of his videos. I guess it seems it used to be done more comedically and now it is more just more my crappy life type vibe. Your point about what constitutes viral is also interesting. There are so many more people watching Youtube now. If you look at some of the young Youtubers who have been successful their climbs have been meteoric compared to the JS's and SDs. Look at Jimmy Donaldson (Mr Beast) who gained 15 million subscribers in a year or David Dobrik or Liza Koshy - all three are early twenties but have skyrocketed in a short amount of time because now when something trends or goes viral it gets 20 million plus views. Back even 5 years ago, if a viral video got a million views, that was a lot.

Shane is a sellout with bad hygiene issues. A fat slob all of a sudden has a sudden genuine interest in makeup? Yeah right. He just did it because he saw the financial returns Jeffree got from his makeup releases. Of course there will be a follow up to Conspiracy within the year. There's no way they'd make so much money on the first launch and not do another one. Further proof he did it for the money was his dreadful attempts at applying makeup which he posted online.

Shane was pretty open about going into make-up to learn more about the business side of things and to make money. He talked about how he hadn't really ever taken the business / finance side of what he does all that seriously and realizes that he could have made a lot more money than he has if he had been more business savvy. I don't think he cares about make-up at all but he learned that he can better capitalize on his brand and make a lot more money than he has been by putting more focus on the business side of things.

I think the "he realized he's never taken the business side of what he does seriously" thing is bullshit. Shane alters the type of content he makes according to youtube trends, if he never payed attention to the business side behind being a professional youtuber he wouldn't have lasted over a decade on the platform and still had spending money leftover at the end of it all. That, just like most parts of himself now, is just to add the to "i'm so relatable guys i'm just like you" image that keeps him rolling in cash.

R400 I agree with you to some extent. He obviously has looked at it as a business but he really hasn't capitalized that much on his success. I don't think that is all that uncommon - his focus has been on content and on creating / editing videos versus finding ways to maximize profits and to really capitalize financially on his success. Compared to JS who has very much focused on the business side, SD has done very little. David Dobrik is another one that really looks at it as a business and despite being only early twenties has made far more money from his much shorter Youtube career than SD has. I heard Jimmy Donaldson (Mr Beast) in an interview and he, similar to SD, talked about not being business savvy. he has accountants and lawyers but has focused on content rather than on the business side. All of them are rich but the degrees of wealth and sustainability of that wealth is going to skew towards those who have been more business minded in their approach.

R402 I agree with you. Yes he was savvy in his content creation and video editing but he hadn’t tapped into all the things he could do beyond that as a brand now that his channel had grown in views and subscriptions and he had the attention of a lot of people. A good comparison is the Kardashians - they evolved their storylines as the show progressed but they also ventured into numerous businesses from their clothes stores (Dash) in the early days to endorsing products and brands to then creating their own products and brands. They were savvy enough to realize that they could influence people’s purchasing and could use the show and their lifestyles to promote their own creations. I think it only makes sense for a successful YouTuber to evolve from being just a content creator to a product creator...why not, actors and musicians are doing it and have done it for a long time.

[quote] Shane is a sellout with bad hygiene issues. A fat slob all of a sudden has a sudden genuine interest in makeup? Yeah right. He just did it because he saw the financial returns Jeffree got from his makeup releases
Of course he did, did you even watch the series? When Shane did his series on Jeffree they weren't friends and he was genuinely curious about how he made so much money. He told everyone he was doing ok and bought a 300k house but he was in awe the day he went to Jeffree's home and realized he lived in a mansion.
When Jeffree told him about his business and showed the huge storage facilites and stuff Shane asked him about make up and how long would it take to make one and how much would it make. It was then they realized they could sell a make up using Shane's brand.
At the series where they get into the business aspect of the make up world Shane tells Jeffree he was swindled on his merch store, getting like 5% off his t-shirts when Jeffree said he should've been getting 70% and the merch company 30%. He seems genuinely surprised when Jeffree offers him most of the profit of the merch store which we saw made half a million dollars in 30 minutes and sold out.
The marketing dude also makes a quick math during a meeting when they're developing the Conspiracy palete and says Shane would easily make 5 million if they sold the entire planned goods which they did, also in 2 hours.
So if you actually watched the series it was clear from the start Shane did the palete and the merch store to make money and finally get what he thought was his due, he never claimed otherwise. I also find very genuine when he cried seeing his store sold out in 30 minutes, he clearly didn't believe people would buy his stuff as they haven't done it in the past like they did now.
I loved this series it was a genius marketing campaign and at times very moving. Need to be studied by people who want to build online brands and for those interested in learning how Youtubers can make shitloads of money.

What a bunch of jealous bullshit R400. He was very upfront about getting some money, enough to buy a house but not being savvy to capitalize on other things, he even talks about his failure to sell glasses and t shirts with his name. Stop hating on people out of jealousy it's not cute.

R404 Shane's house cost 3 million, not 300K. Shane is doing fine money wise but had left a lot of money on the table. Shane and Jeffree did videos together back in 2017 so while I have no idea of the state of their friendship, they've known each other for awhile. Part of Shane's online persona is this doe-eyed, innocent, naive, aw shucks, barely keeping it together, downplay success, just like one of us personality. He plays that up a lot in videos - it gets him views. I agree he hasn't been business savvy but a lot of what you see from both Shane and Jeffree in that series are their online personalities. it is part of what makes them successful is that they have created online personalities (that overplay aspects of their actual personalities) that get people watching and coming back for more.

R406 you’re jealous of him because he has been a naive guy who’s been swindled a number of times and found a guy, Jeffree, who was willing to show him the way and open his eyes which resulted in him making a shitload of money in a very short time. You seem to think that he should have remained naive, continuing to be conned by business people that he trusted because it appears to be a part of his online persona and the narrative of his channel. Well, he’s evolving and realizing that he can get more and is worth more. There’s nothing wrong with him making money and still being down to earth..the 2 are not mutually exclusive. One does not have to be naive to be down to earth.

R149 That implies that I think Shane is both naive and down to earth, which is incorrect. I think it's an act he uses to appear relatable, because being relatable is his gimmick. I don't think that he was ever naive because I was a fan of his right up until he started making the documentary videos. He's always done merchandising. Always. Even in the beginning. And he's made a pretty penny from it to. Don't be duped so easily.

R422 He doesn’t lie about having not made any real money from YouTube, it’s obvious to everybody that he has he’s in the top 20 of YouTuber earners. What he says is that he should have made a lot more and doesn’t understand why he hasn't made as much as other YouTubers especially since he’s been doing it longer than most of them. And he’s right in saying that, it’s literally evident in his interaction with Jefffee and the result of them working together. They discuss the amount of money he should have been making from his merchandising and he clearly makes a killing from his palette so it’s evident that he earned way more from being exposed to Jeffree. So he made the assessment that he should have been making more and ended up making more by being more savvy and less naive.

R421 it’s very possible for someone’s to not be naive and still not be business savvy or not be as savvy as others. That’s business and you can grow and learn more and some people are perhaps more willing to try and take on risks. It’s possible that Shane was stuck in his comfort zone and only doing what felt familiar and it’s clear that his interaction/experience with Jeffree put him into a place where he was able to assess his business dealings and his capabilities and ask questions about what his been doing. He was plagued with so much doubt about whether the palette would even sell which shows he really put himself out there. He’s doubts and struggles are what make him relatable and one of his struggles is his weight..do you think his weight is an act?? Like he’s wearing a fat suit? Do you think in the documentary when Jeffree’s team says that they’ll split the profit 70/30 and he asks if Jefree will make 70% and him 30% and Jeffree’s team says to him, no it’s the other way around and he’s shocked and cries, that it was an act?

R427. They have been compensated for being entertainers just like a musician or an actor. Their craft is Youtube rather than music or theater. Just like in acting and music, a few rise to the top and make it big - in small part due to their own efforts / talent and in large part due to luck, connections, and events that catapult them over their competitors to fame and fortune. There is a lot of money in social media and Youtube and just like every other venue, a few will be able to capitalize on it and make it big. Jeffree and Shane have approached their Youtube careers in very different ways but both have been very successful. They can pull in 20+ million viewers to a single video and do it over and over again. they have massive audiences and have become brands / businesses and entrepreneurs in addition to content creators.

R433 No it sold out because the Shane / Jeffree series hyped the product. Shane and Jeffree fans bought it because it was affiliated with someone they watch. It was a bit production run. They sold over a million units within the first couple days. They also sold a ton of related merch (backpacks, mirrors, bags, sweatshirts). Shane's logo is a pig - his slovenly image is all part of his brand. He used to shower and dress normally until a year or so ago when this walk around in a robe and old t shirt with disheveled hair thing became his new thing. It is like a depressed-chic look - the new emo or punk!

Shane's channel is like a reality show where you follow him and his friends around. Why do people watch them? Same reason they watch reality shows. It's not rocket science.
His series on canceled Youtubers and his conspiracy series were his biggest hits to date and it's clear it had the hands of UTA, a major management agency all over it. That's what a good manager does, they get what you're passioned about, which he was very into conspiracy theory, and turn into a product that sells. People sometimes take for granted what a good manager can do.
I bet the idea to colab with a make up line came from the manager too. Let's not forget they get 10% off it too.

R442 Shane has been with UTA since 2013. Shane also published two books (I Hate Myselfie and It Gets Worse) that were both NYT best sellers and did really well in sales a couple years ago. That was obviously another heavy handed management move.
With regards to Youtube - What role does the manager play in the creative aspect? I thought they handled most of the logistics side and finding collabs / deals - would they also give input into the direction or creative content of the series?

This post is a sign that I have wasted far too much time watching SD and JS videos - didn't even really know anything about them until the break up video! I just watched the last video in the series by Shane and you really see these are two young boys desperate for validation / approval that neither got from their parents. For SD, this seems like his first really big moment and for JS it is like his first really big all positive moment - where everyone just loves them and their products sell out, they break records, they have a massive cheering adoring crowd. There is no drama or controversies - and it goes beyond getting attention to getting adoration and validation. You can almost see some of their insecurities melt away and some kind of self worth take its place. On a side note I also was impressed by how much JS took the backseat and kept calling it Shane's pallet and telling Shane to go first and putting Shane in the spotlight (or at least it was edited to give that impression).

What’s the draw of a Madonna, Kim k or Rihanna makeup collection? It’s their celebrity and desire for people to emulate them that draws people in. Also, Shane’s palette is a collaboration with Jeffree and it’s Jeffree’s formula. Shane picked the colors, names, designs, etc but it’s still Jeffree’s formula,

They’re femme gurlinas playing with makeup. That’s why makeup sells so well today, a much larger demographic is being targeted successfully. There’s big money to be made by the mentally ill trannies.

R475 I agree. It was clear from the start that Jeffree Star saw this as a business proposal to benefit primarily himself. He saw how successful the first series he did with Shane was and saw an opportunity to make a lot more money and further build his brand. Shane has never cared about make-up. I think Shane was interested in how Jeffree does business and makes a lot of money and so since Jeffree's product is primarily make-up, it made sense to follow him through the make-up process. Jeffree knows that co-branding the new product with Shane will get a lot of traction with Shane's 23 million viewers and so he makes sure to continually push Shane to the forefront in the series, knowing that he will benefit from this. Shane goes along, learns about product creation, and makes some extra cash in the end, and Jeffree makes a lot more cash and interest from Shane's viewers and builds his brand. It benefited both of them but I have no idea why people expect Shane to now be into make-up. He did the vlog version of a self made docuseries - he isn't a make-up or beauty guru.

You should at least have knowledge about makeup and know how to apply it before you decide to release a makeup line. Shane had neither. It was clearly done for the money.

Why are you conjecturing? I think this I think that. The series literally shows Shane was interested in making money with merch and Jeffree was interested in using his name, it shows like in the very first episode. One says, how much would a palette with my name make? The other answers and shows the facility. Then the other says, let's shoot a series on that and we can show the whole process behind the scenes, full disclosure, something no one in the beauty community has ever shown. the end. Everything was spelled out from the beginning.

It is crazy how popular he is on social media given how hateful he can be. He is a bit deranged. In addition to the post of his bare ass, he also tweeted a random young woman and told her she was gross and no one would ever want to sit beside her on a plane (she had made a tweet saying she was going to Michigan and hoped Nate Schwandt (Jeffree's ex) would be seated beside her on her flight). She tweeted back saying she was a fan and just joking and he replied with another nasty tweet to her. Who does that?

If you don't know much about Jeffree Star start watching from 07:25. They go through his early years as a celebrity and talk about his music career. You might understand better why he is the way he is. It's his thing to be a shock drag queen, and really that's why he's now rich and famous. We all know he's heard all the possible taunts and insults gay men and drag queen can get and yet he's still standing. You have to admire him for being strong.

I wondered about Many M Mitchell too. Saw he was in Bora Bora with them and lots of collabs. I think he is more one of Jeffree's puppies - just like all the other young gays / girls who were getting into the online beauty industry. Jeffree acts like he is mentoring them / taking them under his wing - and then he turns on them and rips them apart when they start to get noticed and successful. He has said repeatedly he likes straight masc type guys as lovers.

I'm a Millennial and I don't get it either. Jeffrey Steininger is 34, older than me. But he looks like he's pushing 40 and escaped from heroin rehab. No makeup makes him look good - the shaved eyebrows just make him look grotesque.
I get the fascination with the Kardashians (because they were pretty once upon a time) and even James Charles Dickinson (because he's 20, young and cute). But Steininger just looks ... nightmarish and OLD.
The funny thing is that even Steininger doesn't like dating or hanging out with skeletal gay guys like himself.

Interesting note to the apparently amicable break-up.
Jeffree has gone out of his way to show on his Instagram stories footage of the green Aston Martin supercar he gifted Nate a few month prior to the break-up.
Today he showed the BMW i8 he stated he shipped back from Michigan.
He's cutting Nate off. This is gonna get messy.

Can any DL experts on obscure Z-list celebs please verify: is this a recent pic of Schwandt? He deleted his IG, so it's hard to tell.
If this is a recent pic (2019) - then he's doing MUCH better and looks much healthier in the run-up to his "breakup" from his "relationship" (financial or Shakespearean "true love" or YT faux-romance hoax or whatever) with Steininger.
In any case, guess he finally got into shape at the age of 26 and realised he can do much better than boney, aging Steininger.
I'm so happy he's not wearing comical bleached platinum or Shrek-green hair anymore in this pic - his previous pics reminded me of DL Fave Colton Haynes bleaching his hair during his meltdown.

Since people seem to love to blame Star for everything I took a quick look at Nathan's life. Apparently he was the one who first contacted Jeffree on social media and after messaging each other for months Nathan flew to LA to meet him. That was before the YouTube superfame and millions but sure Jeffree was already a MySpace star at the time.
Apparently Nathan has a tattoo of his grandfather on his arm. Overall I find it a bit insulting for Nathan to believe he's some little trashy himbo without a mind of his own. Apparently Jeffree hadn't seriously dated anyone for seven years before getting together with Nathan. They apparently dated for five years although I've understood they've been open about doing threesomes with women and maybe with men as well. I haven't watched many of Jeffree's videos so I don't know exactly what he's said.

R505 Nathan was a 21 year old kid from rural Michigan when he went to meet Jeffree. Nate has said he has pretty much been high every day since 7th grade so the dope wasn't Jeffree's influence but Nate just fell into Jeffree's life. I am really glad he got out. It will be interesting to see if he just goes back to a 'normal' life and in 15 years just is telling stories of the crazy 5 years when he was with Jeffree.

I don’t blame Steininger for making Schwandt a pot-head, R505. I’m laughing at the older person (Steininger) for passing on his other comical habits to the younger person (Schwandt): dyeing the latter's hair to make him resemble a green Smurf and passing on his excessive tattoo-addiction bug to him as well.

I think the comment that Jeffree always said about Nate being straight until he met him and only having been with women until then is a bit of a red herring. Nate was from a smallish town, he was quiet and introverted, he was into skateboarding and pot smoking, and he was questioning his sexuality (hence why he was online contacting gay men). That isn't the kind of guy that is getting a lot of action. I am not saying he hadn't been with women but he may have kind of been with women by default and may not have been with many. He was only 21 when he moved to LA. He may have been gay all along but still trying to figure it out given the context he lived in. Or he may be bi. I saw the texts from two people in Michigan he had contacted about meeting up with in the past (they released them online) and both were feminine guys like Jeffree.
Other than Jeffree's comments (and we know he lies about everything) there really isn't any signs that Nate was ever straight.
