Alongside other Hype House members, Petrou starred in a reality television series about the collective, also titled Hype House, which premiered on Netflix on January 7, 2022.

As an entrepreneur, Petrou has started a couple of businesses, but his most notable launch is his coffee brand, “Smack’d” in 2021. The brand produces high-grade blended coffee from Brazil & Guatemala and is marketed toward people who are looking for value rather than something that needs them to pay an extra high cost. He has based the company around supporting women-owned & operated farms and ensuring equal and high pay far above fair trade.

Petrou’s net worth is courted to be an estimated $2 million. Most of Petrou’s earnings come from his social media presence as a content creator, brand collaborations, acting career, other ventures, and merchandise.
On TikTok, the creator could potentially earn upwards of an estimated $10k per post, excluding brand-sponsored deals. On Instagram, he could earn upwards of an estimated $7k for a brand-sponsored post. On YouTube, his average earnings are around the $4k mark per video, excluding brand-sponsored deals, for which he could charge upwards of $5k per video.
He has earned over $800k from YouTube, over the course of his career. As far as brand collaborations go, Petrou has been associated with several top brands over the course of his social media career, some consumable and some apparel.
It is currently unknown how much he could have earned from these sponsored interactions. Though we do not have the figures to justify that question, we can safely assume that he has earned a hefty sum from these associations, and being a part of the famous Hype house has certainly helped improve that figure to a greater amount.
Petrou’s most notable feature when talking about his acting career is his association with the Hype House and Netflix’s series that covers the influencers day to day lives. Although, this would primarily count as “reality TV”, it does make Petrou a part of the TV show acting or feature segment. It is currently unknown how much Petrou could have made from this TV show, but considering that this is a Netflix production, we can safely assume that he made something close to the 6-figure mark per episode.

Petrou sells merchandise as well, across various platforms like RedBubble. With the average price of each item ranging from $10 to $60, we can assume that Petrou makes around the 5-figure mark every year from sales. We currently do not have the sales figures for his merchandise, hence we can only speculate.
Petrou’s dominance on social media is very evident with over 8.4 million TikTok followers, while on Instagram he has over 2 million followers, and on YouTube, he has over 1.8 million subscribers.
