TikTok’s 10 biggest stars – and the millions they could lose

 

6. Zach King - 82M followers

King, 34, from Portland, Oregon, used his talents for video editing to gain popularity first on the short-form video service Vine. The filmmaker, who is known for his slight-of-hand tricks, moved his base over to TikTok and now has more than 32.7 million followers. His videos often amass millions of likes apiece with commenters commending him on his editing skills. But though the clips are short, they actually take a lot of work: King revealed that a single six-second video on Vine could take him around three to four hours to film, and then an additional 24 hours to edit. So his current videos on TikTok, which are typically longer, probably take the filmmaker more time to create. His reportedly makes $44,225 per post with 82 million followers and worth $3 million.
