Michelle Phan is unmatched in her rise to fame in the YouTube beauty community. But her history is far more humble than most people realize. According to Re/code, Phan’s family at one point lived off food stamps. In 2007, the now 28-year-old vlogger was working as a waitress and couldn’t even get a job at a beauty counter because of her lack of sales experience.
Then Phan started putting videos on YouTube, covering topics ranging from makeup tutorials to popular beauty haul reveals. Nearly eight years later, Phan now boasts over 7.7 million subscribers and 1.1 billion all-time video views on her YouTube channel.

Phan also has her own network with Endemol Beyond called Icon, which features lifestyle content from various YouTube talent.
