How Did Philip DeFranco Get So Rich?
Philip’s early life didn’t look much promising. He repeatedly dropped out of college. He was studying in the past at University of South Florida, East Carolina University, and Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College. He started uploading videos in 2006 and while there was no AdSense advertisement network, he asked his viewers for donations since he run out of money and things to sell. He found some of his earliest videos so embarrassing, that they are either private or unlisted today.
After couple of years, he became very famous and his net worth started taking off. In 2012, DeFranco said that he pays himself only $100,000 per year while reinvesting the rest of the money back into his company. He also launched his own merchandise line is ForHumanPeoples in 2011. That certainly provides a nice side income.
DeFranco is a libertarian and an atheist (although in the past he also claimed to be an agnostic). In 2007, DeFranco started dating attractive blonde Lindsay Doty. He got engaged with his long-term girlfriend in 2013. The year later, Lindsay gave birth to their son Philip “Trey” DeFranco III. They got married in 2015 and of course their wedding was all over social media.
