Emma Chamberlain On Turning YouTube Stardom Into A Creative Coffee Empire | Forbes Life

When Emma Chamberlain started her UA-cam channel in 2017, she had no intention of becoming an internet phenomenon-let alone the multihyphenate multimedia mogul she is today. But through hundreds of videos, the 22-year-old creator has shape­shifted before viewers’ eyes-going from a teen “Pulling an All-Nighter” and explaining why “We All Owe the Dollar Store an Apology” to a more sophisticated travel and fashion documentarian.
Now, the UA-cam sensation earned an estimated $20 million last year while building her eponymous coffee brand, Chamberlain Coffee.
Vlogging these past seven years has made Chamberlain one of the most influential creators of her generation, with more than 12 million subscribers on UA-cam and 15 million followers on Instagram. And her fame has led to opportunities outside social media. She has been the face of Louis Vuitton, Lancôme and Cartier, among other luxury brands that have been drawn to the Emma-verse.
Despite living in a rarefied world of late, Chamberlain has, somehow, maintained her girl-next-door persona. Even if most of her followers will never attend fashion shows in Milan and Paris or chronicle their preparation before the famed Met Gala in New York, her authenticity is just what Gen Z craves.
These days, she’s using that relatability-along with her massive following-to scale her startup, Chamberlain Coffee. Meet the creator who’s full of beans.
