Ariana Biermann started making money off social media when she was just a teenager, and nearly a decade later, the Next Gen NYC cast member is still hustling after moving to the Big Apple from Atlanta.
“I want to film a ‘Get Ready With Me’ and tell you guys about my time so far in New York,” she told her TikTok followers while perched in the bathroom of her new $10,000-a-month apartment during Season 1, Episode 5 of Next Gen NYC.
The entrepreneur and content creator has more than 402,000 followers on her TikTok page with some of her videos racking up millions of views, including one video with more than 11 million views where she tried out L’Oreal’s Lash paradise versus luxe mascaras as a L’Oreal Paris partner. During the episode, she revealed how much she makes from the social media platform: $1,000 per post.
“Now living in damn New York City, I need to be making a lot more money than I was making in Atlanta,” she said on the July 2 episode. “Right now I need to be doing everything that I can to generate even more money. With my money going into this clothing line, and having to support myself.”
Inside Ariana Briermann’s content creation career
Ariana previously revealed on Next Gen NYC that her first brand deal was on Instagram when she was just 14 years old.
“I was doing like three posts a week,” she said on the June 3 episode. “You can get paid astronomical [amounts] to do a story or do an Instagram post, and I made quite a bit of money.”
But Ariana alleged that her earnings as a teen went to her mother, The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kim Zolciak and her father, Kroy Biermann. She also claimed that she’s still paying her parents’ bills during a hot mic moment on the June 24 episode.
“Sorry, my parents can’t pay for anything because I’m paying their f—king bills,” she said while in the bathroom.

Ariana made clear that she’s putting some of her content creation money into one of her dreams: her own clothing line. She and her boyfriend, Hudson McLeroy, checked out swatches of fabric for the line along Fashion Avenue in the June 10 episode.
“I’m in New York. My creativity’s going. It’s like the Candyland of fabric. This is where dreams are made into fruition,” she said, going on to reveal more on the couple’s big career plans. “Hudson and I are starting a clothing line together…we’ve always talked and bonded about clothes since we were literally 14.”
Progress has been made on the line since Next Gen NYC filmed, and Ariana recently shared more on when it could launch.
“I’m planning right now for a fall launch…so it’d come out in August or September, if everything goes as coordinated,” she told The Daily Dish.
