What is Ayden Mekus’ net worth?

Ayden Mekus is a vlogger, YouTuber, and ex-member of Piper Rockelle’s Squad and has a net worth of $1 million.

He launched his YouTube career with basic vlogs and low-quality videos that appealed to other children.

Eventually, he would team up with Dhar Mann to create better quality content, and start collaborating with stars that brought him a bigger audience.

His real claim to fame came when he reacted to one of his videos on Dhar Mann’s channel.

He is most well-known for reacting to his own videos on the Dhar Mann channel, but he also does the kind of prank videos that appeal to children—things like “Telling my ex I have feelings for her best friend” and “Being PDA in front of my mom to see how she reacts.”

He also does a lot of pranks involving more successful YouTube personalities and child stars, like The Squad founder, Piper Rockelle.

When he’s not creating cringe prank videos and vlogs, he also does storytime videos, and he made his acting debut in the 2018 short film, Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Here’s what else we know about Ayden Mekus.

The Origin Story

Ayden Mekus was born on August 2, 2005, in Coronado, California. Coronado is in San Diego County, and only a quick trip across the bay from the sprawling city.

Ayden’s mom is Maria—you’ll see her in several videos and Instagram photos—and his dad’s name is Larry.

Ayden once said that there is an 18 year age gap between his mom and dad.

Mekus is popular amongst the social media kid-set—you’ll often see him collaborating with Dhar Mann’s Devon Weetly, Piper Rockelle, Symonne Harrison (until the pair broke up in 2021), and Jenna Davis.

Ayden still promotes Symonne’s channel on his account.

Ayden and his family moved to Burbank, Los Angeles, so that he could build his career as an influencer and make money off the platform while it lasts.

He says he enjoys “working on my craft” and that he wants to help others through “the messages I share in my YouTube videos.”

Bullying

Mekus experienced bullying when he was in middle school.

He says it was hard—he felt isolated, lonely, and scared.

An outgoing and enthusiastic kid, he was made to feel small and stupid for his passions—but he managed to turn the experience into a positive driver later.

To overcome the negative messages getting driven into him every day, he looked for positive environments to immerse himself in what he loved—he took acting classes, talked to his family, and reached out to make new friends.

Mekus launched an apparel line in 2020, which he called Positive Choice.

The activewear, sweatshirts, and hoodies have a positive, anti-bullying message.

Mekus says he hopes the messages mean something to the people who wear his gear.

Girlfriend

In 2021, Ayden Mekus went social media official with his new girlfriend, Claire RockSmith. The young influencer launched her own YouTube channel in April of 2020, and thanks to her connection to Mekus, she’s racked up over 500,000 new subscribers by mid-2021.

Conveniently, it was Mekus’ former “girlfriend” Symonne Harrison, who helped hook them up.

In a video after Mekus and Harrison’s apparent break-up, he told her he had a crush on her best friend.

That best friend turned out to be Rock Smith, who has been in countless Mekus videos ever since.

Fortunately, fans were put out of their misery when Aiden and Claire admitted that they were an item.

Videos since then have included a no-budget shopping spree and asking my crush to be my girlfriend.

Fans might be generally excited about the pairing, but the couple has copped some controversy over one aspect of their relationship—the age difference.

Rock Smith was born on May 24, 2008—which makes her nearly 3 years younger than Mekus.

While the age gap is disturbing at their age, Ayden pointed out that his parents have an 18 year age difference.

Mekus and Claire RockSmith split in October 2021.

Starting October 2021, Mekus is dating Jaime Adler, an actress who portrayed Olga Romanov in the 2020 film Anastasia.
