What is Michelle Phan’s Net Worth?
Early Life
Michelle Phan was born on April 11, 1987, in Boston, Massachusetts. She was born to Vietnamese refugees, and the family was forced to move several times because of her father’s gambling. After the family relocated to Tampa, Florida, 6-year-old Michelle’s father left. Her mother, Jennifer, remarried but later left Phan’s stepfather after suffering his abuse for years. Jennifer, a nail technician, eventually opened her own nail salon, and Michelle spent much of her youth there. Though her mother wanted her to become a doctor, Phan enrolled in art school after graduating from Tampa Bay Technical High School. Michelle had to drop out of Ringling College of Art and Design because of financial issues, but the school gave her an Honorary Doctorate of Arts in 2014. Phan has an older brother, Steve, and a younger half-sister, Christine.

Personal Life
Michelle’s sister-in-law, Promise Phan, is a fellow beauty YouTuber, and they have made appearances on each other’s channels. In 2015, Phan took a sudden hiatus from YouTube and didn’t return until June 2017, when she posted a video explaining that she took a break due to legal trouble, the disappointing launch of EM Cosmetics, and the fact that she “became imprisoned by [her] own vanity.” Michelle’s hiatus officially ended in September 2019. Phan suffers from a pain disorder called Trigeminal neuralgia, and that said that she stopped wearing foundation because of it. She began a relationship with dancer/model Dominique Capraro in 2010; they did not meet in person until two years into the relationship, and though Capraro used to appear in her videos, Phan later decided to keep the relationship private.
In 2014, Ultra Records filed a lawsuit against Michelle, alleging that she had used dozens of their songs in her YouTube videos without permission. Ultra asked for $150,000 per song, totaling around $7.5 million. Phan filed a countersuit a few months later, and both lawsuits were dropped in August 2015 after Michelle and Ultra settled out of court.
Awards and Nominations
In 2014, Phan won an Inspiration Icon Award at the Streamy Awards, and she received a Shorty Award for Best YouTube Guru. From 2014 to 2016, Michelle earned five Teen Choice Award nominations, three for Choice Web Star: Fashion/Beauty and two for Teen Choice Award for Choice Web Star: Female.
Real Estate
In 2017, Phan paid $4.715 million for a 3,422-square-foot home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. Real estate records indicate that she paid cash for the 3-bedroom home, which features a library and a 2-story living room, and the .54-acre lot includes a guesthouse and swimming pool.
