How much money has Hailey Welch made since she went viral on TikTok?

The phrase ‘Hawk Tuah‘ seems to have characterized the internet in the past week and it is fair to say that the star of the show, Hailey Welch, has been cashing in on her fame whilst it lasts.

Her viral moment began with a street interview by YouTuber duo Tim and Dee TV, where her quirky and explicit responses quickly garnered millions of views.

In a recent episode of the podcast “Plan Bri Uncut,” hosted by Bryan’s girlfriend Brianna Lapaglia, Welch opened up about the whirlwind changes in her life since her video went viral. Addressing widespread misconceptions, she clarified that she is neither a teacher nor a preacher’s daughter. In reality, Welch works at a spring factory in her hometown of Belfast, Tennessee.

The video’s unexpected popularity took Welch by surprise. “It was massive,” she recalled. “I thought it was just a funny moment, but then the views kept skyrocketing. I couldn’t believe it.”

Welch’s family has embraced the humor in her newfound fame. “They think it’s hilarious,” she said. “They know how unpredictable I am. This time, it happened to be on camera.”

How much money has she earned?

Welch quickly struck a deal with a local clothing retailer called Fathead Threads and she has been selling branded clothing items through them.

It is not yet clear what her net worth is or what percentage she gets from those merch sales, but Distractify claim that as of around June 26, she’d already sold at least $65,000 worth of hats alone.

This didn’t even include the sales of her T-shirts, or the fast-selling $50 signed hats with leather patches.
