In today’s digital landscape, children have emerged as a significant force in the world of social media content creation. They are often referred to as “kidfluencers.” These youngsters, sometimes as young as toddlers, are the subject of creative content ranging from toy reviews to family vlogs, garnering millions of followers and lucrative brand partnerships.

The highest-grossing kid influencer is Kaji, with an estimated annual income of $30 million and net worth more than $100 million.
