Who is YouTuber James Charles, and what’s his net worth?
JAMES Charles' career has gone from up to down and then back up again.
The controversial make-up artist might only be 23-years-old (as of May 2022), but he has amassed a fortune from his YouTube channel.
Who is YouTuber James Charles?
James Charles is an American makeup artist, model, and social media personality.
The renowned beauty vlogger was born in Bethlehem, New York in May 1999.
He became the first male CoverGirl spokesman at the age of just 16-years-old.
Since launching his self-titled makeup-focused in 2015 James has gone on to find global success.
Why did he lose 3M subscribers?
In May 2019 YouTuber James was at the top of his game, but lost 2M followers in a matter of just 48 hours because of his feud with Tati Westbrook.
And joining the millions to unfollow the star were A-listers Katy Perry, Kylie Jenner, Iggy Azalea, Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus.
His popularity hit the skids after Tati released a video that slammed the star – and accused him of taking advantage of others.
Clearly hurt by the video, James later uploaded an emotional apology video to Tati in response.
Three days after Tati's video had been posted, James had lost an astounding 3M followers in total.
Interestingly enough, Westbrook - who went viral with her BYE SISTER video - saw her subscription count spike from 5.9M to 9.6M.

However, James has managed to climb back up to the top, and has a whopping 24M followers (as of September 2022).
What's his net worth?
Despite still being so young, James has already racked up a cool $22M (as of September 2022).
That's around £19M million in British sterling.
The young star has amassed the fortune through his social media presence and modelling - which includes being the first male spokesperson ever for CoverGirl.
