Who Graham Stephan is
Graham Stephan runs the largest audience in this set of real estate investing creators: 5.18 million YouTube subscribers, 495,134 Instagram followers and 931,500 TikTok followers as of September 29, 2026, per CreatorDB. He uploads about 5.6 YouTube videos a week and posts about three times a week on Instagram; his TikTok had gone about five months without an upload. Wikipedia credits his channel with 1.38 billion lifetime views and says he passed 5 million subscribers in 2026. He started in real estate at 18, worked with the Oppenheim Group from 2015 and reported more than $125 million in sales by 2020. The biggest change in 2026 is his exit from personal real estate. In a January 5, 2026 video he said he had "made the decision to start selling everything off" and did not "want to be involved in real estate anymore," and he framed it as his own choice, not a recommendation for viewers. His recent sponsors are personal-finance and privacy brands rather than real estate software, and his content now sits mostly in personal finance and markets.
