Amberlynn Reid

Background

Amberlynn Reid was born on December 27, 1990, in Key West, Florida. She, however, spent most of her childhood bouncing around foster homes in California. Before she was eight, she was taken away from her drug-addicted biological parents. Reid put a lot of effort into her studies, graduated, and then enrolled at Brown Mackie College in Tucson, Arizona.

Reid began her YouTube career while still a student at the university. Her first video “Nervous + Awkward + Weight Loss Vlog” became a hit and brought thousands of viewers to her channel; it has since received more than 65,000 views. She kept posting videos about her daily activities. One of them is titled “Weigh-In + Dancing + More Awkwardness.” She decided to dedicate herself entirely to her YouTube profession as she started to gain popularity.

As her videos on lifestyle and fashion caught the attention of many people with each new post, the number of her subscribers grew steadily from 1,000 to more than 10,000 in less than a year. Currently, she has about 127,000 subscribers and her videos have had over 60 million views. Her most watched videos include mukbangs (a special form of entertainment showing someone eating massive amounts of food). These videos are titled “MUKBANKG | CHINESE FOOD | EAT WITH ME,” “MUKBANG | EAT WITH ME | SPICY,” and “497 pounds,” which have been viewed more than 440,000 times. “EATING IN PUBLIC AS A FAT GIRL!!!” has received more than 430,000 views. These videos have all significantly boosted her net worth.
