Jeffree Star is opening up about how much money he can make through social media.

As for how he racks up that kind of money, Jeffree explained that it comes from a combination of fans gifting him money through the app and purchasing his makeup products, which he often sells during his live sessions.
“It depends. There’s some times where I don’t sell [my products] at all, and I’ll just make bacon in my kitchen, in my bathrobe, in my little slippers,” Jeffree explained. “We’ll just hang out, and I’ll just chat. I’ll do a Q&A. I’ll just talk about my Vegas trip and what I did, and people will gift and support.”
Jeffree, who first rose to fame by posting makeup tutorials and reviews on YouTube, believes that this new way of making money is here to stay.
“In my YouTube days, I would go film for a couple hours,” Jeffree recalled. “Girl, we’re in a different f–king time. Now, no one’s attention spans are like that. So, I just film a video, and I’ll do it live.”
After raking in all those cash, Jeffree said that he doesn’t keep it all for himself and that often donates his earnings to those in need.
“I’ve been giving back since the day I was blessed to ever have one dollar,” he said. “I support small creators. I’ll go in and I’ll drop $5,000 on someone that’s sleeping in their car on live. I love to give back, always.”
