Although the daughter of traditional immigrant parents who left their homeland of Iran when they were young, Nicole Sahebi has chosen to pursue an incredibly non-traditional career. Her father actually admitted in Netflix’s ‘Calabasas Confidential’ that he would have preferred a more secure path for her, but he and the entire family unwaveringly support her dreams. That’s because all they really want is for her to be happy, which she believes lies in the world of beauty, content creation, fashion, and modeling, making her a new-world public figure.
How Did Nicole Sahebi Earn Her Money?
When Nicole Sahebi was a shy teenager attending Calabasas High School in Southern California that she decided to start posting on TikTok just for some casual fun. Her go-to at the age of 15 was random lip-syncs and her personal interests, which primarily centered around — and largely still continue to center around — beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. She had no idea at the time that her vibing to catchy songs like “Take Your Man” by Mahogany Lox, as well as her then-mirror selfie videos showcasing her outfits, would soon blow up.
Nicole’s first viral video was titled “sorry guys i’m just basic what can i say,” resulting in her garnering thousands of followers and landing new opportunities she never even imagined. According to her own accounts, she paid close attention to the worlds of content creation, entrepreneurship, marketing, and social media, all the while also listening to her loyal audience. That’s how she managed to establish herself as a brand, secure partnerships with some of the biggest businesses in the industry, and build relationships with their media/marketing teams.
Nicole even launched an independent clothing brand called DropSix at the age of 16 in 2020, specializing in streetwear such as loungewear as well as sweatpants, while staying stylish. Then, upon graduating from school, the Californian influencer enrolled at Loyola Marymount University’s College of Business Administration to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. She has since not only completed her formal education (‘class of 2025) but also managed to achieve wonders as a full-time influencer. In fact, she does some incredibly lucrative collaborations across Instagram as well as TikTok and is a rising professional model signed with IMG Models.
