The Beginnings and Rise of Rhett and Link

Rhett James McLaughlin was born on 11 October 1977 in Macon, Georgia USA, and Charles Lincoln “Link” Neal, III was born on 1 June 1978 in Boone Trail, North Carolina USA. Together, they form an internet comedy duo best known for their daily morning YouTube talk show, “Good Mythical Morning.” Their journey on YouTube began in 2001 and has been a significant factor in their current net worth.

As of late-2017, Rhett and Link’s net worth was estimated to be close to $4 million, primarily earned through their success in comedy. Their various endeavors are consolidated under Mythical Entertainment, and as they continue their career, further growth in their wealth is anticipated.

Current Net Worth: $3.6 Million

Rhett and Link first met in 1984 at Buies Creek Elementary School. They adopted their YouTube name, “Good Mythical Morning,” from their shared childhood pastime of coloring mythical creatures. During their time at Harnett Central High School, they engaged in filming and also joined a punk rock band named “The Wax Paper Dogz.” Both furthered their education at North Carolina State University, where they were housemates. Following graduation, Link took a position at IBM, while Rhett worked at Black & Veatch.

However, they soon left their engineering jobs to focus on their YouTube channel, “Good Mythical Morning,” which has since become the 46th most subscribed channel on YouTube with over 12 million subscribers. They also manage the YouTube channel, “Rhett & Link,” with over 4 million subscribers, and have launched other channels such as “Good Mythical MORE” and “This is Mythical.” Some of their most viewed videos, including “Epic Rap Battle: Nerd vs. Geek” and “Eating a Scorpion – Bug War Challenge,” have garnered over 20 million views. Their appearances on other YouTube channels like “Epic Rap Battles of History” and the “Fine Brothers” have also contributed significantly to their increased net worth over the years.

Moreover, the duo is involved in various sponsored video content and web advertisements. Their rising popularity led to collaborations with major companies such as Cadillac, McDonald’s, and Wendy’s, all of which substantially contributed to their net worth. Additionally, they created a television show titled “Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings” and produced web commercials for Taco Bell. Collaborations with Build.com, Gillette, Hot Pockets, GEICO, and Amazon Echo have also steadily added to their net worth.

Besides business ventures, Rhett and Link launched a podcast in 2013 called “Ear Biscuits,” delving into their personal lives. Their podcast reached number 14 on the US Comedy Charts and earned them a Shortly Award for Best Podcast, solidifying their success in the podcasting realm.

The duo has made appearances on various television shows, including “Conan,” “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” and “Lopez Tonight.” In 2017, they also authored a New York Times Best Seller entitled “Rhett and Link’s Book of Mythicality: A Field Guide to Curiosity, Creativity, and Tomfoolery” and embarked on a successful book tour across the US.

In their personal lives, Link married Christy White in 2000, and Rhett married Jessie Lane in 2001. The couples currently reside in Los Angeles, California.
