Bretman Rock, Bella Poarch in Forbes's ‘Top Creators’ list


Bretman Rock and Bella Poarch made it to Forbes's "Top Creators" list.

Bretman is at 27th place, while Bella is 29th this year.

"These 49 social media savants—and one dog—are redefining celebrity for our connected age," the text on the website read.

Bretman has 41.6 million followers in social media, reportedly earning $6.1 million last year.

"Bretman Rock's foray into influencer fame began with makeup contour videos on TikTok. He's since expanded into filming comedic workout, cooking and fashion... Since then, Rock has catapulted into cross-platform fame with his MTV reality series, Following: Bretman Rock and becoming the face of Nike's "Be True" Pride campaign in 2021."

In 2018, Bretman was also included in Forbes' "30 Under 30 - Asia - Media, Marketing & Advertising."

Meanwhile, Bella, who earned $5 million last year and currently has 111 million followers, is said to be the only person on the list to have served in the military.

"The former Navy helicopter mechanic has continued to be a true crossover star. Since attracting 90 million-plus TikTok followers with her lip synching videos, Poarch has been trying to make it as a musician. The Philippines native's single "Build a B*tch" reached No. 58 on Billboard's pop chart in May 2021. She's done deals with luxury fashion house Moncler and video game Call of Duty, helping to make her one of the highest-paid TikTokers in 2021. It's worth noting that though Poarch is one of the most-followed TikTokers and has impressive engagement, she's not earning as much as others with similar bona fides, like Addison Rae Easterling or the D'Amelios."

This year, Bella placed fourth on Forbes' "Highest-Paid TikTok Stars." She was also included in "30 Under 30 - Social Media."
