If there’s only one way we can ever describe Sophie Fergi (born Sophie Ferguson on July 4, 2007), it would have to be as a force of nature, considering her experiences as an actor and kidfluencer. This is even evident in Netflix’s ‘Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing,’ where she opens up about what it was like to be a part of fellow child internet personality Piper Rockelle’s Squad. No matter what, though, it’s undeniable that she has been active in the entertainment industry for the better part of her life, making us wonder more about her career trajectory and overall net worth.
How Did Sophie Fergi Earn Her Money?
It was back when Los Angeles, California, native Sophie Fergi was merely 3 years old that she made her acting debut in the 2010 short film ‘Away We Stay,’ following which she never looked back. She was reportedly almost always surrounded by cameras since her single mother, Heather Nicole, is a photographer as well as a stylist, so her interest in the industry developed rather naturally too. However, it wasn’t until she was 10 that she got her big break by landing a spot on Brat’s ‘Mani’ as Goth Girl — she was a background character in season 1 before being cast full-time in season 2.
That’s around the same time Sophie began writing and illustrating original stories before deciding to build an online presence to share her creativity, experiences, and passion with the world. The truth is it was on the sets of ‘Mani’ that she realized the significance of doing so after noticing what her fellow child actor turned close friend Piper Rockelle had managed to accomplish. After all, she had evolved into a true social media star thanks to her active accounts across Musically (now TikTok), Instagram, as well as YouTube, and soon Sophie had become a part of it too.
Nevertheless, the tween didn’t leave behind acting in any way, shape, or form, as evidenced by her credits in the coming years – she just expanded her wings to also establish herself as a creator. In fact, while she was taking over the internet by storm as a member of Piper’s Squad (2017-2020) and then an independent YouTuber, she continued to work in film and television alike. She actually features in a few online mini shows, the 2018 short film ‘God’s Gracie,’ the series ‘Bunk’d’ (2018), and most recently, the original production titled ‘Charmers’ (2021-2022). As if that’s not enough, she also has a role in the upcoming horror movie ‘House of Karma,’ which is currently in post-production.
However, what’s even more imperative to note is that throughout these years, Sophie has also dabbled in modeling, especially for brands like Fashion Nova and UDTfashion, amongst others. As if that’s not enough, she not only did a tour with the Squad before parting ways with them for good in 2020 but also launched her own fashion line around the same time, called Live Forever More. It doesn’t appear as if this latter brand is operational anymore, yet the now 17-year-old definitely continues to thrive as an independent content creator as well as a podcast host. She actually joined the audio-video podcast series ‘Girl Talk’ in 2024.
Sophie Fergi’s Net Worth
Although Sophie hasn’t been active on YouTube since early 2024, she continues to maintain a significant following there, with nearly 1.7 million subscribers and almost 200 million total views. Yet, Instagram and TikTok are now completely different ballgames for her altogether, especially considering she has more than 2 million followers on the former and over 6 million on the latter. Her total impressions across these platforms are thus estimated to be in the range of 5 million per post as of writing, and she usually makes at least one post a week. So, of course, it goes without saying she has accumulated significant wealth over the years.
After all, with YouTube’s extensive ad revenues and monetization policies, Sophie likely earns around $5 per 1,000 views, which indicates her total earnings through this platform alone is nearly $1 million. Coming to Instagram and TikTok, their Creator Fund is set up in such a way that an influencer can earn up to $0.04 per 1,000 views, making her income through here roughly $100,000 per year. Then, there is her possible revenue through brand deals or sponsored posts, which we estimate to be $50,000 per post, considering her significant online presence as well as her experience of over a decade. Assuming she does a couple of sponsored posts every month, that’s more than $1 million in a year. She most likely has other income sources like merch, maybe appearances, potential investments, etc. So, taking into account her career as an established child actor, her profits as a content creator, her likely investments, returns, assets, as well as expenses, we estimate Sophie Fergi’s net worth to be $6 million.
