Graham Stephan

Graham Stephan is one of the biggest personal-finance creators on English-language YouTube. Born in 1990 and raised in Santa Monica, California, he skipped college and started selling real estate at 18, building a track record of well over $120 million in residential sales and reaching millionaire status by his mid-twenties, later working with the Oppenheim Group. In 2016 he launched his YouTube channel to share what he had learned about real estate, investing and personal finance.

By 2026 the channel had passed 5 million subscribers, making him a tier-1 voice in financial education, with a reported net worth in the tens of millions across YouTube, real estate and online ventures. His recurring themes are investing psychology, real-estate cycles, tax and budgeting, and calm reaction commentary on macro headlines. Crypto and markets feature periodically, but his core identity is personal finance and real estate rather than active trading.
