Profits
In an interview, Lame stated that he can earn up to $750,000 for each video clip, which will bring in about $10 million by 2022. In 2023, he made $17 million.
Childhood
Khabane “Khaby” Lame was born in Senegal on March 9, 2000. When he was a baby, his family relocated to Italy. They eventually made their home in a public housing project in the city of Chivasso.
Fame on TikTok
Khaby was a humble Chivasso factory worker before becoming one of the world’s most well-known social media stars. In March 2020, when COVID-19 closed down much of the nation’s manufacturing, he lost his job.
He started frequently posting to TikTok during his free time. He soon discovered an amazingly straightforward magic trick: he would release films mocking excessively intricate life hacks, always accompanied by his now-famous cynical look of exasperation.
He became one of the most well-known users on TikTok because of his homemade, basic reaction films. As of this writing, he has more than 158.3 million followers, which puts him barely ahead of Charli D’Amelio, as we previously noted.
Khaby has amassed millions of dollars via sponsorships, appearance fees, and products thanks to his quick rise to prominence. According to his estimations, each TikTok clip he generates for a particular brand brings about $750,000.
He currently sells various goods on his Instagram store, such as clothes, watermelon cutters, popcorn makers, and candles.
Individual Life
According to a New York Times story, despite having resided in Italy since childhood, Khaby was not formally an Italian citizen because of a peculiarity in the country’s legal structure. Not being an Italian citizen has occasionally made travel more challenging, as Senegalese nationals sometimes face greater challenges in acquiring visas to certain countries. However, he got Italian citizenship at Chivasso in August 2022.
October 2020 saw Khaby and Zaira Nucci get engaged.
Khaby Lame will be a vocal presence in the Italian dubbing of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which will be released in 2022.
