James Charles' House (Former)

The house was built in 2016 and sold for $2 million dollars. Charles began renting the home for $15,000 per month in 2018. The Cape Cod house has a two-car garage, fireplaces, and a backyard with a pool and waterfall feature.

In 2020, Charles upgraded to a 9,800-square-foot mansion, also in Encino, shelling out $7 million dollars to become a first-time homeowner.

James Charles has a net worth of $22 million. His YouTube channel has over 16.7 million subscribers and 1.8 billion views. He was named the first male ambassador for the CoverGirl makeup brand in 2016.

Charles was born in Bethlehem, New York in 1999. He launched his Beauty & Makeup-focused YouTube channel in 2015. In 2018, he won a Streamy Award for Best Channel in the Beauty category. He also over 16.3 million Instagram followers. In 2019, Charles was the first Instagram influencer to be invited to the Met Gala.

Charles is the founder of the clothing line Sisters Apparel. The company had a partnership with Jeffree Star’s Killer Merch company, but the partnership ended in 2019.

Charles is known for controversial statements and content. In 2017, Charles apologized for an offensive tweet about Africa and the Ebola virus. In 2019, Charles apologized for transphobic comments made while discussing his own sexuality. Charles is openly gay.

In May of 2019, Charles became embroiled in a high-profile feud with fellow beauty YouTuber Tati Westbrook. Though Charles and Westbrook were close personal friends, Westbrook posted a 43-minute video criticizing Charles, in part due to Charles decision to endorse a competitor’s product. As a result, Charles lost 1 million subscribers in 24 hours, a YouTube record.
