Drew Monson - $200,000
Drew Monson created his YouTube channel "mytoecold" when he was just a kid in 2007, but was already sharing Shane's off-beat and off-color sense of humor at that age. When Drew was cast in Shane's 2014 film Not Cool, the two became fast friends. Drew appeared in Shane's video for years, but eventually decided the Los Angeles life wasn't for him and moved away.

A pianist and songwriter, Drewhas released an album and an EP.
Andrew Siwicki - $300,000
When Shane began creating videos longer in length, he decided to hire someone to help film and edit. That's where Andrew Siwicki comes in! While he was once a faceless cameraman, he now is an internet personality all on his own.Though he's had some more conventional, 9-5 internships in the past, Andrew quickly fell in love with helping influencers edit their videos for the now-defunct app Vine. He then switched to YouTube, but never appeared on-camera until Shane decided to reveal him. Now, he's a beloved member of the squad.
Morgan Adams - $400,000
Morgan Adams never had plans to become a YouTube star, but she took to it like a fish to water. After her brother, Ryland, began dating Shane and starting a YouTube channel of his own, Morgan made frequent appearances on both of their videos.

Morgan now has millions of subscribers and, sweetly enough, isn't just the younger sister of Ryland anymore. Shane considers her his sister too!
Garrett Watts - $500,000
Garrett Watts met Shane on a dating app, and after one awkward date, the two decided to be friends. But this wasn't your typical "let's just be friends" rejection -- they really did become the best of friends!

Outside of YouTube, Lisa does the voice of Angela on the animated series Talking Tom and Friends. She also just released her first book, entitled Thirty-Life Crisis: Navigating My Thirties, One Drunk Baby Shower At A Time. Shane even wrote the foreword for the memoir!

He directed and starred in the film Not Cool in 2014 and has released two books. Shane stuck with the comedy thing for a while before taking a risk and beginning to make documentaries on his channel - which resulted in the already famous YouTuber becoming even more viral. His latest project? Teaming up with Jeffree Star to release his own make-up line (and filming the process,of course.)
Jeffree Star - $50 million
Like Shane, Jeffree is one of the earliest examples of internet fame. His outlandish looks and shocking personality gained him a huge following on MySpace, and he even had a music career for a time. He then migrated from MySpace to YouTube, where he reviewed and showed off make-up products. After he started his own makeup line, Jeffree Star Cosmetics,his net worth shot sky-high.
