‘Next Gen NYC’ Star Ariana Biermann Reveals Impressive TikTok Income

Ariana Biermann is making it clear—social media is more than just a hobby.

The 22-year-old ‘Next Gen NYC’ cast member revealed in Episode 5 of the hit series that she now earns approximately $1,000 per post on TikTok, where she has more than 402,000 followers.

Building Her Brand in NYC

“I want to film a ‘Get Ready With Me’ and tell you guys about my time so far in New York,” Biermann said during a scene filmed in the bathroom of her $10,000-per-month Manhattan apartment.

The former Atlanta resident revealed in a previous episode that she has been steadily growing her platform since her teenage years. In one viral TikTok—part of a brand partnership with L’Oréal Paris—she compared Lash Paradise mascara to luxury brands, racking up over 11 million views. She has also collaborated with major fashion brands including H&M and Lulus.

“Now living in damn New York City, I need to be making a lot more money than I was making in Atlanta,” she said during the episode. “Right now I need to be doing everything that I can to generate even more money. With my money going into this clothing line, and having to support myself.”

From Influencer to Entrepreneur

Biermann got her first taste of influencer work at just 14 years old, landing her first paid brand deal on Instagram.

“I was doing like three posts a week,” she recalled on the June 3 episode. “You can get paid astronomical [amounts] to do a story or do an Instagram post, and I made quite a bit of money.”

However, she claimed that much of her early earnings didn’t go to her. In a hot mic moment from the June 24 episode, Biermann alleged that she’s still covering her parents’ expenses.

“Sorry, my parents can’t pay for anything because I’m paying their f—king bills,” she said, referencing “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Kim Zolciak and former NFL player Kroy Biermann.

Despite the financial strain, Ariana continues to focus on her creative goals. She revealed that she’s channeling some of her influencer income into a personal dream: launching her own fashion line, Adored Angels, with boyfriend Hudson McLeroy.

“Hudson and I are starting a clothing line together…we’ve always talked and bonded about clothes since we were literally 14,” she added.

Progress on the brand has continued since filming wrapped. In a recent interview with The Daily Dish, Biermann shared an update on the line’s projected release.

“I’m planning right now for a fall launch…so it’d come out in August or September, if everything goes as coordinated,” she said.
