Dylan Mulvaney 26, who transitioned from male to female during beginning in March 2021, has reportedly earned more than a million dollars from endorsements including fashion and beauty brands Kate Spade, Ulta Beauty, Haus Labs and CeraVe, as well as Crest and InstaCart. She’s also gained 10 million followers on TikTok.
In March, she appeared on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” where the star famously knelt before Mulvaney and embraced her, and Mulvaney met with President Biden at the White House last fall.
Mulvaney has capitalized on the popularity of TikTok as well as companies wanting to broadcast diversity. She comes from a privileged background, and uses a high-powered Hollywood team to push her brand.
Dylan Mulvaney’s partnership with Bud Light as a brand ambassador apparently inspired Kid Rock to shoot up cases of the beer on Twitter in anger.
Dylan’s father James Jr., one of Mulvaney Sr.’s seven children with his wife, Ruth, is a San Diego-area philanthropist known for baking and handing out cookies all the time — for free.
Dylan’s uncle, Brian Mulvaney, told The Post Tuesday that the family “loves her.”
“We always knew she was gay,” he said. “She comes from a good family who loves and supports her. She really loved her grandmother who completely supported her.”
Companies like Anheuser-Busch, which owns Bud Light, are among many firms — from Pfizer to Coca-Cola — who endorse influencers from so-called marginalized communities in order to score well on something called the CEI, or Corporate Equality Index.
The CEI is overseen by the controversial and influential Human Rights Campaign, which lobbies for the LBGTQ+ community, particularly transgender people.
