How much does Michelle Phan make, and who is she currently seeing?

Phan, 27, is a Vietnamese-American make-up demonstrator and entrepreneur. She was born in Boston, and lived in Massachusetts and California while growing up.

Originally, Phan’s mother wanted her to be a doctor, but convinced her mother to let her major in illustration because she loved art. She later attended Ringling College of Art and Design and Massachusetts College of Arts and Design.

Phan rose to fame after her make-up Youtube videos took off when Buzzfeed shared her videos in 2009. Earlier, Phan had been posting tutorial vlogs on Xanga under the name Rice Bunny and later uploaded the videos to Youtube in 2007.

Eventually, Phan’s Lady Gaga Poker Face Tutorial video went viral, with more than 34 million views. Some of her popular videos include Romantic Valentine LookBrighter Larger Looking EyesMakeup for Glasses, and Mysterious Masquerade Look.

However, in July 2014, Ultra Records LLC and Ultra International Music alleged that Phan had used songs from their DJs, such as Deadmau5 and Kaskade, in her make-up videos without a license. The record company is thus suing Phan for copyright infringement.

According to Celebrity Networth, Phan is worth $3 million, so a hefty law suit could affect badly affect her net worth.
