YouTube may have some fresh competition in the form of TikTok, but the video-sharing site remains among the web’s premier locations to find trendy content. Creators on the site can blossom into broader success online, branching onto other sites to find further fanbases. The most successful didn’t always find their start on YouTube, either — some simply pivot to YouTube for its moneymaking potential.
Consider creators like Jake Webber, who initially rose to popularity on Vine. He was only 18 when his content first started taking off, and by 2015 he was pivoting to post his first YouTube video. In the years since, he can consistently be found posting challenges, vlogs, and reviews, all to a subscriber base nearly two million deep.
Why is Jake Webber famous?
Webber originally started gaining traction on the social media app Vine back in 2013. The popular Viner pivoted from his early work in making humorous videos to enter the music scene in 2020, and released several rock singles during the pandemic. He also launched his T-shirt brand, Ski Brand, and worked to expand his talents across several different areas.
Where is Jake Webber from?
Webber is originally from Wichita, Kanas, but now resides in Los Angeles. He was born June 11, 1998, and is 25 years old as of early 2024. He has three siblings, one of whom — Reggie Webber — occasionally cameos in Webber’s TikTok, YouTube, and other social media content.
Who is Jake Webber dating?
Webber has also previously collaborated with YouTubers David Alverez, Kian Lawley, and Johnnie Guilbert. He also has a playlist on his YouTube channel sporting dozens of videos that he posted with his now ex-girlfriend Tara Thompson, also a YouTuber. Those celebrity couples never last long.
The pair dated for a full four years, and frequently posted couples challenges and Q&As together. They announced their breakup, fittingly via video, on August 8 of 2023.
Jake Webber’s height and net worth
It can be hard to see in his videos, in which Webber is often sitting or moving around, but the 25-year-old YouTuber is reportedly of average height for an American male, standing 5 feet and 10 inches tall. You can catch him standing on par — and occasionally over — his collaborators in videos, which he posts frequently to his YouTube and Instagram accounts, along with his TikTok.
Only mid-way through his third decade on this earth, Webber is already worth an eye-popping amount of cash. All that work on social media is definitely paying off, earning Webber a reported net worth of $5 million in total.
