That’s why, chances are if you use TikTok, you already know all about the D’Amelio family.
Patriarch Marc D’Amelio worked in sportswear, and matriarch Heidi D’Amelio was a model and personal trainer.
Their two teenage children,Charli and Dixie D’Amelio, were just coming into their own as well.
“Dixie was about to go to college.
She was driving Charli to school in the mornings.”
That all changed once Charli blew up on TikTok, which quite literally upended everything for the D’Amelio family.
“We really thought we’d figured out how to have two kids,” he continued.
“Then this was thrust on us.”
Can you imagine your life changing that much within the space of a few months?
It’s certainly been an adjustment for the D’Amelios, according to Heidi D’Amelio.
“Everything else, we kind of just take in stride.”
She added that the most important thing for the D’Amelios has been taking care of themselves as a family.
The D’Amelios relocated to Los Angeles to pursue their newfound careers inentertainment, and theirnew digsare super posh.
In fact, as Dixie D’Amelio tells it, having a normal life is impossible now.
“When your life is on the internet there is no privacy.
Normal teenage and young adult stuff unfolds in front of a huge audience.”
Not surprisingly, that hasn’t exactly been easy for the D’Amelio family.
Can you imagine the pressure?
To that end, the D’Amelios' private lives have become viral stories in and of themselves.
Additionally, according toE!
News, Dixie D’Amelio also split from her boyfriend, Griffin Johnson, in 2020.
“We couldn’t be more different,” Charli revealed in a chat withHighsnobiety.
“But we’re used to getting, ‘Oh my God, you guys look like twins!'”
Given that they’re the same size and share clothes, that’s really not surprising.
“Dixie is my number one go-to person,” Charli continued.
Fortunately, they were up for the challenge, says Heidi.
“I protect my family online, offline and always,” she explained toGrazia.
Talk about a delicate balance.
“They’re still teenagers, so we’re still parenting teenagers and their emotions.”
And naturally, that can be pretty rough at times.
he revealed in an interview withNBC News.
Hey, at least they’re drawing on some old-school manners by asking pops for permission!
The D’Amelio family has also hired security to protect the girls as well, as noted byTMZ.
People at school made fun of TikTok," Dixie revealed toThe Guardian.
“It was looked down on.”
“I was, like, Charli, dude, what are youdoing?”
Still, that wouldn’t be a badge of honor until later.
“Do you remember when people first started recognizing you?
They would say, ‘Where do I know you from?'”
Oh, how the times have changed.
“They’re both really good dancers,” Dixie shared in an interview withHighsnobiety.
“There’s a lot of pressure at family reunions, weddings, and birthday parties.”
That explains why both Heidi and Marc have sizable TikTok followings of their own.
The whole familyhas moves!
What he didn’t mention is that they’re both gorgeous, and that certainly has to help!
Who says being humble and polite never gets anyone anywhere?
Hey, it’s made dancing fun for all of us, thanks to Charli!
In fact, he and his wife have always known her dancing would take her places.
Fans then accused the sisters of being disrespectful and ungrateful.
In response to the backlash, the D’Amelios took to social media to explain themselves.
Interestingly enough, however, at the outset, Marc and Heidi D’Amelio didn’t understand Charli’s strategy.
he shared in a chat withHighsnobiety.
How much is the D’Amelio family worth?
The D’Amelio family practically became successful overnight.
They are proof that social media can truly skyrocket you to fame if you do it right.
According toCelebrity Net Worth, Charli is worth $20 million in 2022.
Dixie and Charli’s parents also have a pretty impressive net worth.
Combined, the family is likely worth around $32 million (via Parade).
“It was just a dumb, immature relationship.
We shouldn’t have been dating in the first place,” she said.
“We were cooler as friends, and just we were like, ‘Oh my god!’
He was just dumb and immature.”
At least Dixie was honest, and we’re pretty sure many could relate.
Dixie soon moved on, and by August 2020, she had a new beau, Noah Beck.
Also a social media star, Beck and Dixie seemed to hit it off right from the start.
During an interview withGQ, Noah couldn’t confess his love fast enough.
I always tell her she has a dry sense of humor.
She’ll make a joke and not laugh, whereas I have golden retriever energy."
Landon let the world know how proud he was of her on his Instagram stories.
“Char you killed it, I love you so much,” he wrote.
He later also attended the live taping, cheering Charli on from the sidelines.
In 2018, he ran for the 25th Senate District in Connecticut (viaNancy on Norwalk).
This was before TikTok made his family insanely famous.
“I can assure you, you will never get us confused.
I am much different from Bob Duff.
I don’t act like Bob,” he said during the speech where he announced his candidacy. "
I have a different style than Bob.
I will not govern like Bob."
He later shared more of his goals and views on the official Instagram page created to promote his campaign.
Ina posttitled “people over politics,” Marc shared what he wished to achieve should he be elected.

Gone were the gorgeous locks fans adored.
During an interview withHarper’s Bazaar, Dixie admitted that she is a rebel at heart.
When she was young, she dyed her hair blond despite her mom’s warnings not to do so.
Dixie simply nodded and let her get to work.
So do we, Dixie, so do we.
She then proceeded to share that she’d been diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

It also had an effect on her anxiety as a result.
Little did she know how much it would change her life.
“When I do have a chance to perform, I give it my all,” she said.
She also revealed that she’d been interested in the entertainment industry and music since she was young.
“Growing up I did theater and other music-related activities,” she told Khalifa.
She also revealed that one of her biggest inspirations and influences in the industry is Billie Eilish.
She hinted at perhaps including those types of songs on her debut album.
These brands will include products like shoes and skincare (viaForbes).
It also appears that the mother-daughter duo didn’t allow the competition to get between them.
“I’m so proud of her.
It’s so nice seeing her look so comfortable and be the star.
Hulu offered them the chance of a lifetime, and they took it.
Charli, on the other hand, toldTeen Voguethat she was incredibly excited about the show.
