The 10 Best Money Experts To Watch on TikTok

Since TikTok launched in 2016 under the name Musical.ly, it’s gained international popularity.

The platform, which enjoys 1.2 billion monthly active users, originally became known for its viral dance trends; but as it’s expanded beyond a teenage audience to users of all ages, you can find pretty much any content topic in its minute-long video format. This includes politics, fashion, sketch comedy and even personal finance.

Colloquially known as “FinTok” (finance TikTok), this corner of the app gives everything from day trading advice to tips on paying off credit card debt. And, as with everything on the internet, the advice should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, almost anyone can pick up their phone, film a video and slap a #StockTok hashtag on there — it doesn’t mean you should put your money where their mouth is.

On the other hand, there are TikTokers out there giving really solid money advice, and teaching teenagers and young adults alike what their high school education probably didn’t. Here’s a look at the 10 best money experts on the app.
