Forbes' 2025 Top Creators List Features the World's Most Influential Social Media Creators That Are Reshaping the Way People Consume Entertainment and Engage with Brands
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forbes today unveiled its 2025 Top Creators List, the fourth-annual definitive ranking of the 50-highest earning, most influential social media-savvy stars across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and other social platforms. The world's leading creators are setting new standards and highlighting the power of social media with a surge in brand collaborations and fan engagement. This year, the 50 Top Creators are showcasing their influence to drive global engagement, the list members estimated to have earned nearly $853 million cumulatively, up from 2024's $700 million – a jump of 18.5%. Not only are their earnings skyrocketing, but so are the fans tuning in – the list makers having more than 3.37 Billion followers combined, up from 2.7 billion followers last year and a 25% increase. Overall, these influencers' growing impact and reach have become a proof point that the creator economy is here to stay and is not slowing down anytime soon. For the fourth year in a row, YouTuber and entrepreneur Mr. Beast holds onto the number one spot, one that has yet to be dethroned by another creator since the start of the Forbes Top Creators list. Other rising stars that made their way onto the list include TikTok creators Alix Earle, Jake Shane, Nara Smith, Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper, YouTuber Ms. Rachel, comedians Druski and Adam W, and Addison Rae who recently debuted her first album Addison. This year's list also included newcomers such as DJ and TikTok creator XANDRA, lawyer and personal finance creator Erika Kullberg and creator and model Wisdom Kaye. When compiling the Top Creators list, Forbes takes into account three factors: earning, entrepreneurship, and clout (follower and engagement ratio), creating a formula that evaluates and ranks each creator. 'The 2025 Top Creators list is a testament to the evolution and expansion of the creator economy as the global influence these creators hold has become even more powerful,' said Steven Bertoni, Assistant Managing Editor, Forbes. 'These creators are no longer utilizing just one platform, many have amassed followings on several different social media accounts and are venturing into mainstream media with movies, TV shows, music albums and more. We'll continue to see influencers turn from creators on our phone screens to recognizable celebrities with their own brands and business ventures.' To celebrate the Top Creators list, Forbes will be hosting its 2025 Forbes Top Creators List Launch Celebration at Influential Beach during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in partnership with Lowe's Creator. NYX is a supporting level sponsor for the event.

Cantaloupe's offerings in delivering frictionless payments and software services combined with 365's innovation and focus in self-checkout technology primarily for foodservice operator (FSO) centric, enterprise-focused customers are expected to help expand the combined company's customer base, product suite, and vertical reach. Together, they will have a diversified portfolio and be better positioned to serve both FSO and non-FSO customers across convenience services, retail, hospitality, and sports and entertainment, with a growing footprint in North America, Latin America, and Europe. The combined company will have a strong financial foundation and the transaction is expected to unlock meaningful synergies to fuel further investment in the business and customer benefits. These synergies include customer cost savings, cross-sell opportunities, and growth through new product rollouts, increased software adoption, and payments expansion. 'A rapid transformation in unattended retail is underway right now as our customers look for more sophisticated ways to grow their business,' said Ravi Venkatesan, CEO of Cantaloupe.
