As of September 2022, he became the most followed TikToker with over 142 million followers.
Khaby had lost his job as a machine operator during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and since he was at home doing nothing, he resorted to just making himself happy by posting silent humor videos where he mocks complicated yet unnecessary life hack videos. His popularity has led him to get major brand deals, sponsored content and feature offers from brands like Hugo Boss.
Khaby had revealed that apart from garnering a lot of likes on his posts he racks in as much as $750,000 per video post in a Fortune magazine interview. This year itself the content creator is estimated to earn around $10 million. Due to his fame, he has met great stars such as Football Legend, Lionel Messi and featured some of them in his posts.
In his earlier interview, the creator shared his desire to make a career in films. “I am passionate about entertaining and making people laugh since childhood, and I am thankful to TikTok for offering me a global stage to share my passion with the rest of the world,” Lame said. One of his ultimate goals is to star alongside Will Smith, who he said has been his inspiration to becoming an actor from an early age after seeing the actor on the sit-com comedy series, ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’
