D'Amelio's go from dancers to downright business moguls with a $25m venture fund

Charli and Dixie D'Amelio have achieved success through TikTok... and now their whole family's going into business and creating their own brand.

What's the key learning?

  • Charlie and Dixie D'Amelio were the two highest paid TikTok creators last year, at nearly US$30 million combined.
  • The D'Amelio's are launching D'Amelio Brands, a 100% family owned business creating beauty, fashion, and lifestyle products.
  • In the old world, you’d have large companies responsible for creating a brand, fronting up the capital, and then using influencers to distribute the product, but now influencers are now moving up the value chain to create their own products from scratch.

What's the key learning?

💡In the old world, you’d have large companies responsible for creating a brand, fronting up the capital, and then using influencers to distribute the product. But influencers are now moving up the value chain to create their own products from scratch.

💡But creating your own brand takes a whole heap of capital! Luckily, the D’Amelio’s have already formed their own $25 million venture fund called 444 Capital.

💡So forget Ryan Reynolds with his Aviation Gin and Rihanna with her Savage x Fenty lingerie, the next generation of celebrities owning their own brands might just come from TikTok.
