Forbes list, as reported by BusinessCloud and Tubefilter
iJustine's career began in the mid-2000s with daily lifecasting and early YouTube videos, and it grew with the first generation of internet creators. She started her iJustine channel in May 2006, and her 2007 video of opening a 300-page AT&T iPhone bill became one of YouTube's early viral moments.
She later moved into mainstream media and representation. Tubefilter reported that she left UTA for WME, and The Hollywood Reporter covered her July 2017 signing. Forbes named her one of its Top 10 Tech and Business Influencers in 2017, according to the list's reporting.
Her work has since expanded beyond one channel. She co-hosts the Same Brain podcast with her sister Jenna, which launched in 2020, and she was a Streamy Award winner according to her Beacons profile. The pattern is an early creator who turned a personal channel into a media business, a path EPR's creator economy guide describes across the industry.
How does iJustine earn money?
iJustine earns money from sponsored content, YouTube and podcast revenue, and media work, but no public source breaks down her income by stream. Forbes estimated her earnings at $3.4 million for the 2026 list, and the magazine says its creator earnings are estimates, according to Tubefilter.
CreatorDB's brand partnership tracker shows sponsored YouTube content in each month from December 2025 to March 2026, including an ongoing partnership with Insta360. CreatorDB also describes her as a hands-on Apple-focused creator who covers new iOS releases and hardware.
YouTube AdSense is likely a small part of the total. vidIQ's CPM-based estimate puts her monthly AdSense at about $1,070, though a model like that is rough and the real figure is not public. For how creator income compares across platforms, see EPR's guide to how creators get paid and the Creator Pay Concentration Index.
What is iJustine's net worth?
iJustine's net worth is unverified. Third-party sites list estimates of about $2 million to $3 million without a stated method, and no filing or audited figure exists.
Net worth and earnings measure different things. Forbes' $3.4 million is an estimate of earnings between March 2025 and March 2026, not accumulated wealth, so the two numbers should not be compared directly.
Why do brands work with iJustine?
Brands work with iJustine because she has covered consumer technology on YouTube for two decades and carries a long track record with tech audiences. Her years of Apple coverage, her podcast and her agency representation make her a reference point among established tech creators.
She also sits in a distinct position: a female tech creator with a long public record. EPR lists her in the Creator Operators Directory, which tracks creators who operate as media businesses.
iJustine's net worth is unverified, with third-party estimates of about $2 million to $3 million and no stated method. Forbes estimated her 2026 earnings at $3.4 million, which is a measure of annual income and not net worth.
