Switching Lives with Jeffree Star

well, you make it. a lot of money so now what's the growth that we have you know we've mastered it and we're growing very fast and I don't think a lot of people know that and you know I mean I think you know I'm obviously selling a lot of products people see numbers and you see things, but I don't think they know the full spectrum of how big this organization really is and I've never meddled with it, do you know how much it costs to just run it? This installation is like a month of work, real numbers, yeah, wherever we had to ask Mark.

Like, I just had no idea, I knew there was money and, like I was telling you, without makeup, I didn't know what this was, yeah, with the office. base and everyone is like a full blown number I'm bunny company this is like Target yeah hello you're taking like rent utilities and everything and what are you talking about I mean even my mom could pay for all three places , do you know what I should film? General John doesn't want to be on camera, okay, I mean public services to execute our hope. The operation is probably about seventy-five thousand a month without staff, which is another hundred thousand, yeah, so like 175 King Kai, okay, I got it, thanks, in fact, you know it's just in the circus that we've grown. a lot over the last year, so obviously I reprimand him. everything is my company, just you know, when did this company become so massive?

I'm when 2016 was ending that's when I really

star

ted to increase my orders for Jeffree Star cosmetics and there it is and then I was like: Hey guys, I'd like to We have more customers so we've had more YouTubers come in, you know more bands and just more people They're generally enthusiastic, they love the way we do things, they were very easy to work with and when you deal with merged companies, they've probably done it your entire career. a youtuber t-shirt ordered on Hot Topic Hey guys it's better here and I'm on topic right now and I'm wearing one straight because it's a bit of a shady t-shirt some of them are cool but it's like I like people on general.

They're always happy, so I said, "Okay, I want to create my own. I've been burned so many times, let me do better than them and here we are and we prove it with our work ethic and how we treat our customers." this is okay, so you have your YouTube channel, you have your makeup line, you have the merged company, we have shipping fulfillment, shipping and then you said you or yes, I chose to never invest in property, so of course we bought a house in Michigan, me and me. That's when we own apartment complexes in some other states, they have a property manager, that's all you know, it manages itself and the money is just in my account.

Show all these businesses, are we talking millions of dollars of revenue? Oh yes, a hundred. percent and what it was like a few years ago, so in 2014 I had about three thousand dollars left to my name after all the investments and everything I was living in a small apartment, so after I quit music I thought here, here, You know, this is it. I took my last hope and dreams in three colors and yes, in about three or four years it is complete. My whole life has changed, so somehow I got another chance and now I'm smart.

One of the books. I paid millions in taxes. and I'm a normal citizen so I feel blessed to even have money let alone be able to pay, okay I just paid 20 million in taxes this quarter and it's like, where is that going? I could have bought ten more houses for my family members. you know what I mean, so yeah, I'm not doing what others do in anyone's business, like I don't know how much Jake Paul makes, no, I don't know how much you make, as much as I do. I don't ask any questions, but the cosmetics industry as a whole is huge, it's crazy, so I just say, "I don't want to slow down, do I?" Listen, I'm not asking this because I'm like Lulu, I want the tea or I'm asking you because I'm really fascinated by you and I told you this sooner than you want.

I ask you more as an inspired person, yes, we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars and every year, yes, there was a lot. more, that's crazy, yeah, so it's like, oh my god, what are the hundreds of millions of dollars that your family is impressed by this? I don't know much about your family like we don't really know, yeah, not really, I'm wrong. and I also have a small family, you know, it's crazy when someone has all their grandparents and both parents. I can't explain that my father died at five and a half years old.

You know, a single mother growing up, two uncles, my father's brother, they both died. I mean, I have a small family, you know, I don't have a big 20th cousin fan, so it's cool to have Nate's family as my extension too and you know my close friends are my family. I appreciate that we do it. our own family as we go on and get older too, you know, but it's small. I have also lost family members who think they are suddenly titles. You know, everyone thinks it's their money. It's strange how dark and evil your flesh is and The blood will go to burrows and coins.

My mom taught me that when we were younger it's like my moment in the car and I went to Metallica. You'll go sell drugs, smoke crack, and suck for a drug dealer and we'll be very happy. Family, I'm so high, yeah, like you've shown me the true colors of a lot of people, it's broken my heart. Balance times and it's a blessing and a curse, you know, okay, great. I have earned the money. I'm not sitting here. Every day I wonder how I am going to feed myself and my dogs and pay the rent. All that fear is gone, but now there are 20 more problems, so I'm sure people watching would die.

They think they want this so much. They want 20 cars and all the jewelry it's nothing it's more money more problems it's a realistic joke and it's so crazy until this is your life no one can relate to complaining like I'm not complaining because I have money and I'm complaining because it's a burden, but you know everyone was going to make fun of me. Oh, you're complaining because you're rich, it's not like it's a family thinking you should suddenly get them whatever they want, their friends. assuming the euro pays for dinner, they're friends, assuming you'll buy them their plane ticket, put them in the best hotels, like everyone assumes they are now, it's theirs and I've lost a lot of people, so it's me in this family people have betrayed us trying to steal from us trying to you know, crazy taking secret photos selling them trying to hurt us it's like we've dealt with so much pain on top of trying to enjoy all of this Sometimes it's mentally exhausting at the end of the day, really I worry about what the Internet says or whatever they say, we all partly know it and I'm always the villain.

I'm always Jeffrey, you ghost your friends quickly and no one knows what really happens. behind the scenes so sometimes it's hard to sleep at night I mean I hate everyone they really like what's the hardest part of all this it sucks not having my grandparents and my dad here they like not having a a lot of family it's like you wish they were still alive to be proud of you like me really I came out of the ashes I'm not a crybaby I'm like but like anything I wish my dad was sitting next to me and could buy.

He has a house too, you know what I mean, but he's been gone for so long and it's like you think about your grandparents, they help you raise them, well, my mom has a strong cast, my childhood, you know what I mean, it's like I wish I could get it. they come back and I can't because they're all gone, you know, so he's very lonely, he becomes very lonely on a different level. I feel very similar, like I have a very, very small, very, very small family for me at this point in my life. I feel very grateful to have met Ryland and, you know, I have a couple of good people around me and that's the same with you and Nathan and some friends, and it's like we feel against the world, sometimes it's just me I feel very alone, but I really don't like saying this to be corny.

I'm really very proud, this is crazy. I'm not just saying this because of the video or because I can say it. m your eyes are like it's good to see and I respect you a lot so seeing your response is really cool okay this is crazy what I want to do is maybe take a little trip down memory lane okay but I'll tell you . You this I want you to come like a normal Noguchi, okay, do you have something you know? I'm normal, which to me means snow maker and then you'll come to my house, okay, and then we'll take a trip. don't wait okay then it's going to be a lot my house sucks we'll get ready okay I'll see you tomorrow we were on my way all the comments where am I sitting I'm so nervous do it what's going on I'm I'm going to get three rice krispies treats.

I love rice krispies treats. Oh my god, haha, we have to stop all the jokes. I don't know what chemical is in that. You have to go ask him to make sure why you should know no. I don't know what that is, my God, don't talk about these things. No one you know, if anyone in my family can know him, I just didn't know you were going to do that. I'm going to take note of this for a second. What the hell? Hello, you want to die tonight. I can't be beautiful.
