Ms. Rachel is the most popular children's content creator in the world, so naturally rumors have swirled about how much money she's been making.
The American entertainer boasts over 21.3 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, along with millions more fans across other social media platforms.
But even then, Ms. Rachel, real name Rachel Anne Accurso, averages millions more views across her videos, which have become a fan favorite among this generation of babies and toddlers.
The 43-year-old made headlines earlier this week for criticizing Ed Sheeran for allowing rapper Macklemore to be kicked off his Loop Tour after vocalizing support for Palestine.
Despite her outspoken nature, there's a lot about Ms. Rachel that remains elusive, such as her net worth off the back of her glistening success in the industry.
Figures online have suggested that she and her husband have accumulated millions and millions of dollars from her content.
While many may not be aware of her popularity among toddlers, anyone with one in their life will be all too familiar with her catchy videos and songs.
After shooting to fame during the COVID pandemic with her colorful, engaging YouTube videos, she has continued to teach children words, numbers, colors, rhymes, and more.
So, she should be absolutely swimming in it, right?
In an honest conversation with the Guardian, Ms. Rachel admitted that her net worth is some way off the $50 million that has been rumored online.
"I don’t have any fancy things, I could say that," she said, claiming that it is 'nowhere near'.
Apparently, her purchases are in line with her brand, explaining: "I like to buy toys … I think toys are fun, little fidget toys and stuff.
"I think space in New York is hard to come by, and space is nice, but I don’t want a fancy house."
Ms. Rachel has had her husband, Aron Accurso, by her side while her empire was being built from the ground up.
He has helped by helping to create, write, arrange and produce the children's content that is posted online.
The YouTuber has openly called for support of Palestine in the past, and she was not shy in calling Ed Sheeran out after Macklemore was removed from the tour for voicing his support for the Middle Eastern nation.
She has spoken out about the shocking number of children being killed in Gaza and the West Bank on social media since the current conflict began in 2023.
In a post on social media, she shared with her 5.6 million followers: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity [to] show that we won't be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine.
"Instead, he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows. A genocide is happening in Gaza. We all need to speak out against it."
According to figures broadcast by the United Nations, more than 21,000 children have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza.
Ms. Rachel also referred to these figures in another post, writing: "Imagine looking back 20 years from now at yourself kicking someone off a tour because they spoke out during a genocide that has killed over 20,000 kids."
