The internet loves a good flex, but Sophie Rain may have just delivered one of the biggest mic drops of the year. During a filmed sit-down with YouTuber David Dobrik, the young online mogul casually revealed that she made nearly $83 million in the past year—putting her on par with NBA superstar LeBron James’ 2024 salary.
Yes, you read that right. Sophie Rain isn’t just making influencer money—she’s pulling in sports-legend cash, and she’s not shy about it.
While Dobrik nervously laughed in disbelief, Sophie whipped out payment receipts to silence weeks of viral Twitter speculation about her wealth. “Good gossip on Twitter about how much money you make that indeed was all true,” she said. “Nobody believes I’m telling the truth. But it very much is.”
According to her own breakdown, Sophie raked in $82 million over 18 months, averaging around $28,000 per hour. Even her “slow months” dwarf most people’s lifetimes of earnings. With a laugh, she complained that she only made $3.4 million in July.
The moment that really floored Dobrik came when Sophie compared her numbers to LeBron James. “I almost made more than LeBron last year,” she said, grinning. While the Lakers legend reportedly earned $56 million, Sophie claims she cleared $43 million in the same time frame—without ever stepping foot on a basketball court.
But behind the bold flex, Sophie admitted that the wealth comes with a cost. “I’m so stressed,” she confessed. “I’m paranoid as much because anything here can vanish tomorrow.” Dobrik tried to reassure her, saying, “Eighty-two million dollars doesn’t vanish overnight,” but Sophie remained candid about her unease.
And while money may buy influence, it hasn’t solved one of Sophie’s biggest problems: fame. Asked if she was still looking for someone who earns more than her, she stated, “I want someone who never heard of me at all. Which is hard.”
