With Netflix’s ‘Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing’ putting the entire community of child social media stars under the microscope, we get a documentary series unlike any other. That’s because it shines a light on the shadowy underbelly of this industry through popular personality Piper Rockelle, whose momager and director-editor have been accused of abuse by many. Amongst them is Jentzen Ramirez’s mother, but this YouTuber hasn’t been close to her or the aforementioned trio in a while, making us wonder more about his career trajectory and wealth.
How Did Jentzen Ramirez Earn His Money?
Born on August 8, 2006, in Austin, Texas, to Johna and Nelson Ramirez, Jentzen “Jenzo” Ramirez was quite young when he first developed a passion for entertainment thanks to his sister. His elder sister, Liana Ramirez, is actually an actress, author, dancer, and musician, so it was to help her kickstart her career that the family eventually relocated to Los Angeles, California. Little did anyone know that he would soon find himself following in her footsteps, resulting in him landing his first-ever acting role at the tender age of 7 in the television series ‘Slapped’ (2013).
From there, Jentzen secured his very first major role in ‘Babysitter’s Black Book’ (2015), propelling him into the limelight as not only a naturally talented but also an innocently charming child actor. He has since made appearances in around 50 other television shows, short videos, feature films, and music videos, including ‘A Christmas Wish’ (2015), ‘Star Wars: Generations’ (2016), ‘Girl Forward’ (2017), ‘The God Machine’ (2017), ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ (2019), and ‘207’ (2020). Most recently, though, he has been a part of the ongoing television series ‘Juniors Cafe’ (2025), where he is one of the leads alongside William Wiggins, Klai Bennett, and Saylor Brophy.
However, it’s imperative to note that while Jentzen was raising the ranks as an actor, he was also evolving as a theatrical performer, mainstream commercial entertainer, and brand as a whole. Furthermore, he joined the influencing bandwagon towards the late 2010s and soon even became a part of Piper Rockelle’s Squad, where he was “shipped” with her then-friend, Sophie Fergie. It was as a content creator that he really found his calling, resulting in him accumulating a loyal fan following of his own – they have stuck by his side through all controversies, his departure from the Squad in 2023, and his current relationship with Elliana Walmsley.
Jentzen Ramirez’s Net Worth
With Jentzen having been a part of the entertainment industry since he was merely 6, and with him still getting several opportunities to continue down this path in full force, it goes without saying that he is thriving. From what we can tell, his primary source of income in his initial years was acting, but his standing as a social media star has definitely taken the lead in the past five or six years. However, his partnerships with brands like Kohl’s, Proctor & Gamble, SpinMaster, and Whole Foods, among many others, have also helped him along the way.
Jentzen actually established his YouTube channel in 2019, and since then, he has garnered not only more than 2.85 million subscribers but also over 615 million views with just 400 videos. This platform’s monetization policies are such that it likely offers $5 per 1,000 pure views, which indicates his total earnings through here alone is well over $3 million. Coming to Instagram and TikTok, he has over 1.2 million and 2.9 million followers, respectively, which means their Creator Fund possibly helps him earn up to $0.04 per 1,000 views.
Therefore, with Jentzen being relatively active on both platforms, we believe he gets around 5 million impressions per post, making his revenue from these platforms close to $1 million. Then there are his earnings via brand deals as well as sponsorships, which we estimate to be close to $50,000 per post considering his significantly positive reputation and presence online. Therefore, taking into account all these aspects, along with his likely assets, investments, returns, and expenses, we believe Jentzen has a net worth of close to $7 million.
