Throwback To TikTok
In late 2019, TikTok was still known as a growing platform, and although not many people understood the unending challenges and dance videos, they got into it, and tried to make meaning out of it as the days turned into weeks and months.
One of such people was the high schooler, Charli, whose dance videos became a sensation on the app. In no time, the youngster who may or may not have understood how popular she was becoming, had the largest following and video clicks throughout the app.
Certainly, this helped her gain attention across other social media platforms, and despite other accounts growing closely behind hers, she was already an established TikToker in the middle f 2020.
This unexpected fame did not come without its difficulties as it put the youngster in a position to get praised or criticized for her choices, and sometimes, her opinions. But the vast majority of followers she had loved and adored her. Seeing how influential and advantageous the TikTok platform gave her in a few months, Charli decided to expand her expertise to include other social media platforms.
The Expansion
The opportunities that came with being a TikTok superstar were quite glaring, and to capitalize on such opportunity, Charli decided to open a YouTube page, where she majorly created dance and lifestyle content.
If you are an avid user of TikTok, you know, when you're watching an interesting video, at the peak of that excitement, you get asked to click on the YouTube link in the bio to watch the complete video? That is one of the ways that Charli brought more eyes to her channel.
In a short time, other members of the D'Amelio family started getting involved in dance videos, starting with Dixie D'Amelio. She joined her gorgeous sister to sometimes make dance videos, or share one or two facts about their lives.
Although Charli was the popularity of the two, fans still loved it whenever Dixie came on in a video or did something with her sister. The D'Amelio clan did not stop there.
Family Matters
Aside from the D'Amelio sisters, other members of the family also featured in several TikTok and YouTube videos. What was once a dance and funny content creating a page, soon turned into a visual lifestyle blog.
The family often shared personal details about themselves, and sometimes opened up about challenges that they faced in the past.

The parents saw how lucrative content-making on social media could be, so they helped the D'Amelio sisters to get more out of it. And this led to the family becoming the center of attraction on TikTok and YouTube. Of course, they got deals from brands and outlets, but no one saw a Hulu series coming from a mile away.
This is to show how adored this family is and was to the public's eye. And now that they have gotten into the entertainment mix, we hope that they make exploits.
What Is The D'Amelio Family's Net Worth?
Contrary to what some people might think, the D'Amelios were not lacking financially before they became entertainers. They were well-to-do, and according to some revelations via TikTok, the family lived in a $800,000 house in Norfolk, Connecticut.
This only means that before the TikTok and YouTube fame and money, the family lived a good life. However, now that they are doing more publicly, fans want to know what their current net worth is.
In March 2020, Charli's net worth amassed $400,000 while Dixie had a net worth of $250,000. Till now, those numbers have grown enormously, and Distractify revealed that the sisters are currently worth $8 million (Charlie) and $3 million (Dixie) respectively.
