Rhett and Link are a comedy duo, and a pair of YouTubers are known for their viral videos, morning talk show, ten-episode series, and comedy songs. They often refer to themselves as “interlocutors”, a combination of the words “Internet” and “artists”.
Their Youtube portfolio is quite large, which shows that the duo are trying to capture every demographic opportunity and capture every corner of the Youtube market, so to speak.
They released a documentary in 2008 called Finding Miss Locklear where they tried to find the teacher in whose class they first met.
Rhett and Link: Bio & Age
Before Rhett and Link were internet powerhouses, they were two young boys from North Carolina. Rhett James McLaughlin was born on October 11, 1977, while Charles Lincoln ‘Link’ Neal was born on June 1, 1978.
They met on September 4, 1984 when they started first grade together at Buies Creek Elementary School in North Carolina. They not only made a movie about this reunion, but they also wrote a song about it. They met when they had to stay during recess because they had both written bad words on their desks. When they stayed indoors, they colored mythical creatures and this act inspired the name of their Youtube channel – Good Mythical Morning.
After their reunion on September 4, 1984, the two have remained close friends ever since. When Rhett and Link were fourteen, they had already started their creative career by writing a screenplay together. The script was titled Gutless Wonder and they even started shooting the movie for it. However, they only went to film a few scenes and Gutless Wonder remains incomplete to this day. Nevertheless, excerpts from the script were read a few times on their show – Good morning mythical.
The duo then attended North Carolina State University for their graduate studies.
Rhett and Lien: Wives, Children, Family
Rhett and Link currently live in Los Angeles with their families. They are both married and they both have children.
Link was the first of the couple to marry; he married in 2000 to Christy White and they now have three children – Lilian, Lincoln and Lando.
Rhett, meanwhile, married Jessie Lane in 2001 and the couple now have two children, Shepherd and Locke.
The proof that the two men are married is the fact that you don’t see negative stories about their personal life and marriage in the tabloids. They go unnoticed and if they have marital problems, like most couples, they choose to work out their issues privately and away from social media. Kudos to them.
Net value
Rhett and Link are worth $16 million together. Their value is estimated at $8 million, which is quite impressive for non-mainstream artists. Even though both are a bit old for Youtube demographics, they have worked hard and steadily to leave their mark, and their efforts have paid off.
They make a lot of their profits from doing fun and viral ads for many companies including Red House Furniture and Ojai Valley Taxidermy. They have also received sponsorship from several major brands for many of their videos.
