The ways in which people learn about money have changed considerably thanks to the internet. Gone are the days where your only options are reading personal finance books or working with a financial advisor. In the mid-to-late 2000s, the first personal finance blogs started to appear; with that, the paradigm began to shift.

Fast forward to today and people have an abundance of options, including personal finance blogs and larger financial websites. But more affordable smartphones and faster mobile data speeds have helped fuel the rise of video as the preferred medium of many. After all, watching can be not only easier than reading but also more engaging and even fun.

As a result, more and more people are turning to platforms like YouTube and TikTok for recipes, home improvement and, indeed, personal finance. Some money influencers on these platforms have millions of subscribers, each having their own brand and personal touch.

We’d like to highlight the top 10 money influencers (by follower/subscriber count) on each of these platforms. We will also touch on what some of these influencers do and why people are so drawn to them.
