How did Carter Reynolds Make His Money & Wealth?

Carter Reynolds grew up in the town of Valdese with his older sister, Kealia. Unfortunately, not much has been revealed about his childhood. Having said that, we do know that he went to Jimmy C. Draughn High School as a teen- he later graduated in 2014. Like many teenagers his age, he got involved with social media during his last year in high school.

In 2013, he jumped onto the Vine bandwagon- the latest social media fad that allowed its users to upload and share six-second long clips. Quickly getting the hang of the app, he later posted a series of short skits, which over time, garnered him a decent amount of followers. As his presence on the platform grew, Reynolds started to post a greater variety of videos from pranks on his mom to collaborations with other stars.

However, it wasn’t until he became a member of the Magcon (which stands for “Meet and Greet Convention”) Boys that he first rose to fame. A group of social media personalities, the collective toured various shopping malls in the country in attempts to raise their profiles further. Aside from Reynolds, the crew also consisted of Jacob Whitesides, Taylor Caniff, Hayes Grier, Jack Gilinsky, Aaron Carpenter, and Cameron Dallas, among a few others.

After a year of collaborating with the group, however, Reynolds made the decision to leave Magcon- right in the middle of a tour. In an unexpected twist, the Vine star described the collective as being “shady” and that he had never once felt like he “was being treated like family.” Still, the teen had already garnered himself a considerable following on Vine by then.

By the time it was announced that Vine would be shutting down, he already amassed over 4.6 million followers on the app, making him one of the most popular personalities on the platform.

Now, it’s no secret that Vine can be a huge moneymaker. With the audience that he had, there’s no question that Reynolds had managed to bank a considerable amount from the site. But how much? According to sources, it’s not uncommon for brands and companies to compensate Vine users upwards of a few thousand dollars for a single endorsement campaign. Of course, the more popular you are, the more offers you would receive.

As one of Vine’s most popular users, Reynolds was allegedly bringing in thousands of dollars simply by posting six-second long videos at the peak of his career in 2015. Ultimately, it didn’t take long for brands to notice his potential as a collaborator. Though we don’t have an exact amount as to how much the teen had earned in total, it most likely would have been an eye-opening figure.

Aside from Vine- which is now defunct, the North Carolina native has also been working on growing his following on his other social media accounts. For instance, on Twitter, he currently has close to 3 million followers. Prior to reaching the one million follower mark, Reynolds had launched a follower campaign- #Carterto200K. Incredibly successful, it quickly helped him to gain 200K fans on Twitter; within four months, he had broken the 1 million follower mark.

In addition to that, he also has a decent following on Youtube under the username, ItsMartell. Although his channel isn’t particularly active, he has managed to amass over 842K subscribers with more than 17.4 million views as of August 2017. So far, his most popular upload, Chapstick Challenge – Carter Reynolds & Maggie Lindemann has been viewed over 4.6 million times. Some of his other top videos include Cotton Ball Challenge, What Type of Music Do I Listen To? and I Got a Dolla!.

As you probably already know, it’s not uncommon for Youtubers to make a little bit of extra cash through Google’s partnership program. By displaying ads on their videos, users are able to make anywhere from $2 to $5 per monetized view, depending of course- on their location, content, audience, etc.

Given that a celebrity receives millions upon millions of views on a regular basis, the earnings easily stack up- it’s not unheard of for some of the site’s top stars to make tens of thousands of dollars per month, simply from posting videos.

So how much has Carter Reynolds made from Youtube so far? A few simple calculations tell us that he would have made at least $10,000 from the site so far- not too bad for earning some passive income!

On Instagram, the 23-year-old is also a social media influencer with over 3.4 million followers. On average, his posts receive anywhere from 40K to 70K likes each. Considering the reach that he has, it wouldn’t be surprising if he were to receive endorsement offers and the like from companies. Similar to how it is on Vine, brands can be fairly generous when it comes to advertising. Too bad it’s almost impossible to know how much one has earned from said gigs.

At the peak of his popularity during 2014-2015, Reynolds also participated in a handful of public events, all of which would have presumably, earned him a decent booking fee. For instance, he took part in the DigiFest in New York City and at the Virtuoso Fest in Los Angeles, California in 2014.

In 2015, the teen was also present at an Outdoors at the Palladium event in Worcester, and a TD Echo Beach event in Toronto, Canada. Most recently last summer, he was also a guest at the O2 Institute Birmingham in the UK.

As far as other ventures go, he made a brief appearance in the Netflix series, Chasing Cameron (2016), starring fellow social media star Cameron Dallas last year. Though he hasn’t taken on much acting in the past, he will be playing a supporting role in an upcoming horror film called, Float Trip (2017), according to IMDb.

Currently, it is estimated that the 23-years old star has a net worth of $500,000. Drawing from what we’ve said above, it’s clear that he had earned most of this from the peak of his popularity as a Vine star.

Aside from that, however, it’s assumed that he has also banked some from his other endeavors such as the public events that he’s attended in the past and what he’s made from his other social media accounts (E.g. Youtube, Instagram). Though his prime days appear to be over, Reynolds still has himself a decent following online.

The Meteoric Rise To Stardom

He shot to fame for his Vine videos and as a member of ‘Magcon’ that stands for ‘Meet and Greet Convention’, a tour or convention of Vine famous boys that was created in 2013 by Bart Bordelon. Reynolds would travel to cities across the county with the convention and meet thousands of fans who would die to get a glimpse of and meet their favorite Vine stars.

His videos that mostly fascinated young girls primarily consist of wacky and goofy stuff that display his humorous and playful side as also his friendship with fellow Vine stars. He soon climbed up the popularity chart with leaps and bounds evident from the incredible count of 4.6 million of his Vine followers, more than 3.3 million followers on his Instagram account and 2.5 million followers on his Twitter account.

His rise eventually made him sign contracts with big companies to promote their products. By 2014 he was getting big bucks from companies like Coca-Cola, Aeropostale, Audible and Airheads for sponsored ad deals on YouTube and Vine. He was also getting a lucrative pay from Magcon Tour.

The Magcon Tour tickets would range from $32 for general tickets to $150 for VIP tickets that gave fans chance to get a position in the front row and also an opportunity to take selfies with their stars. He along with Cameron Dallas, Hayes Grier, and Nash Grier left ‘Magcon’ in April 2014 and after a couple of months he started ‘The Carter Tour’.

The tour that also featured other stars like Maggie Lindemann and Alyssa Shouse would charge $75 for VIP tickets. ‘DigiTour Media’ that produced the first social media tour of the world also invited Reynolds to be part of their ‘DigiFest’ along with other renowned Vine stars like Matt Espinosa and Lohanthy among others.

Beyond Fame

In early 2014 he met Maggie Lindemann, a fellow Vine star and talented singer and songwriter who by that time had garnered around 200,000 fans on Instagram. Gradually they started dating and it is a known fact that fans were only too eager to have a sneak peek on the lives of these star love birds.

Eventually, the two started posting their selfies together at Coachella and also produced and posted YouTube videos to share with their fans. One such video showcased them kissing each other.

The duo broke up much to the dismay of their fans, which came to light in December 2014. The fans were so much upset that many accused Lindemann for such breakup and some even sent her death threats. The two reunited in March 2015 only to break up after a couple of months.

Although in today’s world social media fame is a big thing for any star and sharing personal drama with fans has also become a fashion, but if not handled with care and sensibility it might turn detrimental for one’s career. The same happened with Reynolds when a private video of the two stars was leaked.

From the video, it seemed that he was trying to force Lindemann to undergo oral sex with him, while he was filming it. He was severely condemned and many even tagged him as ‘rapist.’ Reynolds apologized for such action in writing to his Twitter followers who numbered more than 2.38 million at that time.

However, he again got involved in a heated spat with Lindemann on Twitter. He not only lost contracts of the companies he campaigned for but also some of his fans.
