Manny, age 27, is the oldest of three siblings -- Nick and Erin are four and eight years younger than him respectively.

Despite having Manny as teenagers, his parents would go on to become highly educated individuals. As a result, there was a lot of pressure on him to follow in his parents’ footsteps.

Likewise, Manny excelled at his studies and later enrolled in one of the prestigious medical schools in the country. He would later drop out of the medical school to pursue a career in the makeup industry.

How Manny Mua Earned His Multi-Million Net Worth?

Manny’s love for makeup started at an early age. After dropping out of medical school, he began working in the counters of beauty giants like Mac and Sephora.

It was during this period that he became close friends with fellow YouTube beauty star, Patrick Starr. Patrick took him under her wings and mentored him on the importance of being visible on social media.

Soon after his introduction with Patrick, the San Diego native would start a channel of his own in 2014 under the moniker, Manny MUA.

Responses to his makeup tutorials and reviews on YouTube gained so much traction that beauty brands took notice of his ever-growing presence.

In 2017, Maybelline named him as its brand ambassador. Over the years, he has had close ties with beauty brands such as KKW BEAUTY, Lily Lashes, ASOS, and Clinique.

However, YouTube videos remain his main source of income, with him pocketing somewhere between $44k and $718k annually.

Forbes estimates the makeup star’s net worth to be around $7 million.
