Lilly Singh

Lilly Singh is a Canadian YouTuber, television host, actress, and author who became one of the highest-paid creators on the platform under her channel name IISuperwomanII. Born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario, to Indian Punjabi immigrant parents, Singh began posting YouTube videos in 2010 as a creative outlet while dealing with depression. Her comedic videos, which often drew on her experiences as a South Asian woman growing up in Canada, resonated with a massive global audience and helped her build one of the most successful channels on the platform.

Singh’s YouTube channel has accumulated over 14 million subscribers and billions of views. Her content ranges from comedy sketches and vlogs to motivational videos, often featuring her parents as recurring characters beloved by fans. In 2017, she published her book “How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life,” which became a New York Times bestseller. She was also appointed as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, using her platform to advocate for children’s rights and education.

In 2019, Singh made history as the first openly bisexual person of South Asian descent to host a major American network late-night show when NBC launched “A Little Late with Lilly Singh.” The show ran for two seasons through 2021 and represented a significant milestone for representation in late-night television. That same year, she publicly came out as bisexual, further cementing her role as a trailblazer for underrepresented communities in mainstream media.

With an estimated net worth of $20 million, Singh has diversified her income well beyond YouTube. Her earnings come from advertising revenue, brand partnerships with companies like Coca-Cola and Pantene, her book sales, television hosting, acting roles, and touring. She has been consistently ranked among Forbes’ highest-paid YouTube stars and continues to be one of the most successful creators to transition from digital media into mainstream entertainment.
