Graham Stephan (born: April 21, 1990) is an American real estate agent and YouTube personality best known for videos on financial independence, saving money, investing, and real estate investing. According to his website, he created his YouTube channel to share his "successes, failures, and experiences in the real estate industry and to support others". His YouTube channel was quickly profitable and prolific, as there was a lack of finance and real estate-oriented YouTubers.[1][2] His interview series has attracted celebrity business people like Kevin O'Leary to critique and praise him.[3]
Early Life
Graham Stephan was raised in Santa Monica, California. According to him, his parents ‘lived from paycheck to paycheck’. His father, Dave Stephan, was a Disney Animator, who left the company after *The Lion King*. While attending school, Stephan found the coursework to be pointless; his academic performance suffered as a result.[4]
Prior to his real estate career, he had worked jobs at a marine aquarium wholesaler, as a drummer in a band, and a data entry job. Stephan says his greatest mistake is not getting a credit card at 18 to build his credit for future investment.
Career
Real Estate
Stephan earned his real estate license shortly after leaving school, at the age of 18. He would also offer to take higher quality photos of properties for real estate ads for other realtors, and would get a commission from the money earned.
According to his website, he has sold over $125 million in real estate. Due to his earnings from real estate, he became a millionaire at the age of 26. He has worked with famous clients such as Orlando Bloom and Chloe Grace Moretz. His work has been featured on the television shows *Selling Sunset* and *Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles*.
Stephan also teaches about real estate. He made an online course called The Real Estate Agent Academy, which aims to achieve the same goal.
Stephan is currently a real estate agent for The Oppenheim Group.[5]
YouTube
Stephan started his main channel in 2016. Common topics include financial independence, saving money, investing, and real estate investing. Stephan's philosophy is to save money whenever possible.[6]
He also started a second channel, The Graham Stephan Show, which follows a more raw format, and primarily focuses on reactions to other financial-related videos. He has reacted to YouTubers such as PewDiePie, Pokimane and Tiffany Ma.
Outside of his own YouTube, he has been featured on an episode of Spectrum from Jubilee.[7]
Personal Life
Stephan lives in Las Vegas. He owns five rental properties in Los Angeles and San Bernardino County. Despite his frugal nature, he spent $20,000 on a watch, which stirred the humor of his fanbase.[8] He advises against spending money on designer clothes and coffee.[9]
Stephan is in a relationship with Macy S., who has her own YouTube Channel.
