What is Jack Doherty’s net worth?
Jack Doherty is most well known as one of the new breed of YouTube pranksters who has a net worth of $7 million. He pull stunts and prank their buddies—and the general public—to boost their view count on the famous video streaming platform.
Doherty—who launched his YouTube career as a child—has pulled off daredevil stunts at water parks, launched himself off bridges, and tread a fine line between barely legal and definitely illegal numerous times.
While some of his stunts are fascinating—like this one where he flips a bunch of stuff—some of them have been slammed for wasting police resources and interfering with people’s jobs.
The Origin Story
Jack Doherty was born on October 8, 2003, in New York.
His mom, Anna, is Polish, and his dad, Mark, is New York born and bred.
Jack has a brother named Michael and a sister named Joanna.

His siblings very rarely appear in his videos, but his parents have been involved in some of his content from time to time.
Doherty’s mom is critical of his career choice, but still has her son’s back when he gets in trouble—which seems to happen on a pretty regular basis.
His dad, on the other hand, is his biggest supporter and encourages Jack to pursue his goal to be famous.
Jack lives in Sea Cliff, New York—a tiny village in the Oyster Bay township, about 25 miles from Manhattan.
The upmarket village has private beaches—accessible only by membership.
He shares the high-end sprawling property with friends, and his two dogs—Cash and Major.
Girlfriend
While all roads point to Jack Doherty currently being single—a status he’s enjoying while he spends time with his “bois”—he was linked to fellow social media star Samantha Frank.
Frank, who became popular on TikTok with her lip sync videos, and has six siblings, was introduced to Jack’s followers in his meet my new girlfriend…*not clickbait* video on November 30, 2019.
She appeared across much of his content throughout their relationship, until he announced to his fans that they’d broken up less than 8 months later.
In 2023, Jack Doherty is dating McKinley Richardson, a fashion model and social media influencer.
The Making of an Influencer
Doherty launched his YouTube channel in July of 2016, and posted his first video two months later.
That first video showed him flipping a marker twice in a row and being really excited.
He scored his first 100 subscribers off that video, and it motivated him to take YouTube seriously as a platform—and eventually, a career.
As he posted more content of him doing tricks and stunts, his follower count grew.
At some point he realized that his subscribers liked drama, and—always looking for ways to grow his brand—he gave it to them.
Prank videos ensued.
From getting kicked out of Walmart over a lava challenge, to getting kicked out of Walmart for singing Despacito on the store’s intercom system, to getting kicked out of kids’ trampoline parks, getting suspended from school, airhorn intercom pranks, and skipping 27 days of school—Jack loved the drama.
And it’s no surprise.
Doherty lists his idols as Jake and Logan Paul—the most notorious and ridiculed influencers on YouTube.
Love them or hate them, they’re known for taking pranks too far and seeking out drama for attention.
In His Idols’ Footsteps
Like his role models, Jack has found himself in hot water after taking desperate action for views.
Often thrown out of local businesses for his rude and inappropriate behavior, the teen’s tarnished reputation only seems to make him more appealing to fans.
On some social media sites, viewers have likened Doherty to “watching a car crash” in that you can’t look away.
Still, some of his die-hard supporters vehemently defend his actions, saying it’s all just for fun and nobody is getting hurt.
That wasn’t altogether true, though.
In 2020, the FBI contacted Doherty after he “Zoom-bombed” a school’s online classes—which resulted in the school’s online education forum being shut down.
As a result, many kids missed out on what had already been a sporadic year of learning.

Facing Up To Dr. Phil
In 2020, Jack Doherty appeared on The Dr. Phil Show with his father.
His brother, Michael, also appeared via webcam from his home, alongside a video of him confronting Jack.
Jack had stolen his luxury car and taken off down the street. When Michael caught him, he hit him several times.
In the video, Dr. Phil tried to share some advice he’d been given from genuine social media superstars–the type with tens of millions of followers.
Doherty didn’t want to hear it.
He interrupted several times and made awkward comments.
Dr. Phil cut the segment short and sent Doherty and his father offstage so he could move on to a new topic.
