The Island Boys are broke: Why did they lose their net worth?

TikTok has shown us anyone can get a million views and a million dollars if it stands in the right place at the right time. But what easily comes easy goes, and this is definitely the case with The Island Boys. In case you have the luck of not knowing who these guys are, know that they’re TikTok stars that went viral with a song under the name “I’m an Island Boy”. They are originally from South Florida and have clearly been to a lot of tattoo shops in Tampa! 

Island Boys are twin brothers Franky Venegas and Alex Venegas, although these could not be their real names. They usually go by the name Island boy & Island boy 2. However, these twins didn’t get viral because of their talent but the whole opposite in fact. They’ve shown arrogance in several interviews that honestly only prove that they’re both completely ignorant of what they want. 

Over the last two years, the Island Boys have accumulated more than 800k followers on social media and have even been featured by many news outlets. Nevertheless, it seems that their career is over, but this isn’t something new in fact this is a very well-known phenomenon. Here’s a quick explanation of what happened to these guys’ careers and get a closer financial view of their current net worth. 

Why was their career that short?

Something young generations must understand is that visibility does come with power, but the key stands in the discourse you promote. Being visible is not enough to be rich or to have people’s respect. The Island Brother duo counts on a popular Instagram account with more than one million followers and has been featured on TV shows like Ellen and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 

The twins have achieved several important goals as well as made their own money, but their career is falling apart each time faster. Not only have they lost all mediatic respect & credibility but their views and numbers, in general, are getting lower each time. According to their ex-manager who they still owe $1500, the viral TikTok stars have gone broke. 

Before contacting their manager, The Island Boys were living at a hotel. Their ex-manager got them a proper house to rent, which they haven’t paid for maintenance. The twins are also facing numerous lawsuits as well as hefty legal fees to retain lawyers. Yet, alleged financial troubles might end if they enter into an influencer’s boxing competition that promises a million-dollar reward.  

According to experts, they were destined to fail since they didn’t have a decent skill set or product. Their most famous video went viral not because they were talented but the opposite. Nonetheless, they showed narcissistic behavior in Logan Paul’s podcast by saying all their haters come from jealousy and denying listening to other rappers. They also left offended when they were given a piece of financial advice.

When they were asked about their future plans for the next five years their response was “always being top at the billboard in music”. The truth is they’re far from that, in fact, in 2021 they were booked to sing a Club Liv in Miami and were booed by the entire audience. The Island boys got viral thanks to luck, yet it looks like they haven’t been prepared enough to use those opportunities wisely. What about their net worth?

Island Boy’s net worth

According to several internet sources, The Island boy’s net worth strands around $700,000. However, if they really had that money they wouldn’t have all this conspiracy behind them, nor all the debts that clearly can’t pay. Sadly, these boys are starting to be hated each time, but they could maintain a good net worth if they used their visibility with a good strategy behind them. Clearly, that won’t be the case.
