Trans-identifying TikTok creator Dylan Mulvaney, who gained public attention for his “Days of Girlhood” campaign and other transgender content, has secured a spot on the Forbes “30 Under 30 Social Media” list.
The 30 Under 30 Social Media list is compiled with input from the public through nominations, along with insights from Forbes tech journalists and industry judges. The list aims to recognize young founders, industry leaders, and online stars shaping the creator economy and the future of the internet.
According to Forbes, Mulvaney has received over one billion views on his “Days of Girlhood” videos. Mulvaney has also brought in an estimated $2 million in earnings last year, despite the controversies that have surrounded his content such as the Bud Light boycott.
“Mulvaney, who was named a 2023 Forbes Top Creator and raked in an estimated $2 million in earnings last year, found herself at the center of an unexpected political crossfire after Bud Light paid her to post a video featuring a custom beer with her face on the can, sparking a widespread boycott of the brand.“
“Nevertheless, she’s landed partnerships with companies like Nike and MAC, and she has urged brands to go beyond “just inclusive marketing” to stand up for what’s right.”
