Alix Earle BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Alix Earle just set social media on fire with a head-turning Maleficent moment for her Viennese Waltz on Dancing with the Stars, wearing a sparkling black cut-out dress alongside Val Chmerkovskiy. Instagram flooded with raves for her performance, fueled by dramatic photos featuring a bold red lip and cinematic grayscale effects. Notable figures like Rylee Arnold jumped in to publicly praise Alix’s look and presence, and fans were especially vocal in the comments, some cheekily referencing Maleficent’s iconic villainy. The performance and her Instagram post quickly gathered momentum, making it one of her most notable public appearances this week, further solidifying her crossover from digital influencer to mainstream entertainment, as reported in Reality Tea and confirmed by Alix directly on Instagram. Yet, the glow was dimmed by controversy as AOL reported that Alix is once again under scrutiny for a decade-old social media scandal involving resurfaced screenshots of her as a teen using inappropriate racial language on ASKfm. Debate raged on TikTok and Reddit about accountability and growth, with some followers demanding a direct response while others defended her as a product of youthful ignorance.

This move distances her from Cooper’s new Unwell Creative Agency, which has pivoted to broader advertising ventures, and signals Alix’s intent to build her own media and investment brand. Her financial stature is firmly established, with trusted financial outlets and Forbes estimating Alix’s net worth at approximately 8 million dollars, driven by lucrative brand partnerships, a top-performing Hot Mess podcast, and early investments in lifestyle and beverage brands such as SipMargs. She continues to command $40,000 to $70,000 per sponsored post, with upper-tier campaigns allegedly soaring as high as $450,000 per Instagram Story, underscoring her status as one of the highest-earning young influencers. Personal stories also remain in orbit. Coverage by AOL revisited Alix’s candid reflections on her father’s affair with Ashley Dupré, a subject which continues to shape fan fascination with her family narrative.
