Bethany Mota built her public career by turning beauty, fashion and DIY videos into opportunities in retail, television and publishing.

What is Bethany Mota’s net worth?
The $7 million figure is Celebrity Net Worth’s published estimate. The site describes Mota as a video blogger, entrepreneur and creator known for her Macbarbie07 channel. It is useful as an attributed reference point, but it does not establish her current cash holdings, debts, individual contract fees or the value of every business interest.
YouTube advertising, retail collaborations, television appearances and book projects are different parts of her career. Gross revenue from any of them would not be the same as the amount she keeps after costs and taxes. This profile does not add old monthly earnings reports, product prices or a property purchase to the estimate.
Background: finding a voice through video
Bethany Noel Mota was born on November 7, 1995, in California, according to Celebrity Net Worth’s biography. Her publisher’s account of her early life describes growing up on a dairy farm in Los Banos and struggling with bullying, anxiety and low confidence before finding an audience online.
Simon & Schuster dates her first YouTube upload to 2009, when she was thirteen. Using her family’s handheld camera propped on a stack of books, she began making the kind of beauty and lifestyle videos that would become her calling card. Room tours, tutorials, DIY projects and fashion content gave her a way to share interests with viewers rather than depend on an established television platform.
Career timeline: videos, fashion, television and a book
- 2009: Mota uploaded her first YouTube video, according to her publisher. Celebrity Net Worth identifies the channel that made her known as Macbarbie07.
- December 2013: Aéropostale announced the Bethany Mota Collection. Its December 6, 2013 release scheduled the debut for December 8 and described apparel, accessories and jewelry. This documents the collaboration and its announced launch, not the terms of Mota’s compensation.
- November 2014: Mota reached the season 19 finals of Dancing with the Stars with professional partner Derek Hough. ABC News’ November 24, 2014 report recorded her elimination on the first night of the finale, leaving three contestants. She did not win the season.
- January 2015: Mota interviewed President Barack Obama alongside fellow YouTube creators Hank Green and GloZell. The White House’s January 23, 2015 recap documented the previous day’s event and her question about young people’s involvement in politics.
- June 13, 2017: Gallery Books published Make Your Mind Up: My Guide to Finding Your Own Style, Life, and Motavation! The publisher’s product listing gives that date for the 240-page hardcover. Its mix of personal experience, DIY ideas and style advice carried her video interests into print.
From an online audience to a retail collaboration
The Aéropostale partnership shows one way Mota’s creator career expanded beyond uploading videos. In its 2013 announcement, the retailer described a collection informed by her personal style and feedback from viewers. That is a concrete example of an audience relationship becoming a product collaboration.
It does not reveal a current royalty rate, ownership share or the lifetime profit she earned from the arrangement. The original launch announcement also does not prove that the collection remains available today. Historical brand work belongs in her career timeline without being presented as a current contract.

What her interviews reveal about the work
In a June 22, 2017 interview with Money, Mota discussed procrastination, making videos and deciding when to spend more on clothes. She described getting work done early enough to improve it rather than leaving herself too little time to make it good.
Those comments give a practical view of the work behind a creator’s public image. They are not financial disclosures, and her personal shopping examples do not establish her net worth. Likewise, historical audience figures in old interviews should not be mistaken for her current subscriber count.
Watch: Bethany Mota discusses making YouTube a career
This interview from the official ABC News channel focuses on Mota’s path from uploading videos to a full-time creator career. It is an archival conversation from 2017, not a new assessment of her 2026 finances.
The bottom line
Bethany Mota’s $7 million net-worth figure is Celebrity Net Worth’s undated current estimate. Her documented career runs from YouTube uploads in 2009 to a fashion collaboration, a television competition final, a presidential interview and a book. These milestones explain how her public career grew, but they are not a substitute for a verified personal balance sheet.
