What is Jennelle Eliana’s net worth?
Introduction
Jennelle Eliana is an American YouTuber who has earned more than 2.45 million subscribers (she went from 0 to 1.5 million subscribers in 30 days).
Eliana skyrocketed to fame after she started to document her life on YouTube and Instagram, living and traveling in a 1995 GMC Vandura Explorer with a ball python snake named – ”Alfredo.”
She describes herself:
”I’m 20 years old and I’ve been living in this self-converted 1995 GMC Vandura Explorer Limited for some time now.”
Biography
Jennelle Eliana was born to an Ethiopian father and a Filipino mother, both immigrants who wanted to see their daughter succeed in the US.
At age 18, Jennelle moved out of her house in the middle of the night. She said:
“I actually moved out when I was 18, in the midst of the night.”
Eliana later added:
”I had a very dysfunctional household.”
Jennelle attended college for a while; however, she decided to leave, as balancing school with work wasn’t feasible.
Currently, Eliana has a full-time job doing data entry for a company in California.
In August 2019, she decided to quit her day job to focus 100% on YouTube.
Jennelle has lived in a 1995 GMC Vandura Explorer van for close to two years (from September 19, 2017).
According to her most recent YouTube video, Eliana spent a few months outfitting the van in her workplace’s parking lot so she could avoid paying high rent.
She said:
”I definitely think that if you’re toying with the idea [of living in a van], give it a shot.”
Eliana went on to say:
“For me, I find making those compromises worth it, because I just have so much more freedom.”
The van features a spacious home for her white ball python, expansive clothes storage, a working sink, and solar power.
The van itself was bought from Craigslist by an elderly couple who initially used the van to take their grandkids to Disneyland.

“AMAZING price. The lovely elderly couple who sold it to me only used her to take their grandkids to Disneyland a couple times out of the year. It came fully stocked. Every button worked.”
Jennelle also wrote:
”They had the original Polaroid TV hooked up to a PlayStation. The motorized bed was still motorized. AC/heater was in tip-top shape and till this day I haven’t had any major mechanical issues. Her name was Dino before I had her painted blue.”
Note – the 1995 GMC Vandura Explorer is a cheap van with some great features. The engine is right in front under the dash – this makes certain things easy to do in the way of maintenance and repairs for the van. In addition, the parts to fix things for this van are very cheap, making it cheap to work on.
Eliana said that she took one month off to travel and film YouTube videos.
