Star used MySpace to advance his music and fashion design careers. Star used MySpace as a blog, sharing personal details while also providing social commentary on "self-image and confidence," fame, and beauty. Star already had a large fan base due to his use of several websites, and they signed up to join him on MySpace, giving his profile a large number of friends from the start.


Star's career as an electronica and pop vocalist started when he met Peaches' drummer Samantha Maloney, who encouraged him to make music. During the summer of 2007, he was promoted as a member of the True Colors Tour 2007, which visited 15 cities across the United States and Canada.

Beauty Killer, Star's first and only studio album, debuted at number seven on the US Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart in 2009. The album included songs like "Lollipop Luxury," which featured Nicki Minaj. To promote his music, he went on several world tours. In 2010, he signed with Konvict Muzik, whose founder Akon called him "the next Lady Gaga," with plans to release a second album. It was never released, and Star abruptly left the music industry in 2013 for unknown reasons.


Jeffree Star Cosmetics, his ecommerce makeup brand, was launched in 2014. Star stated in Shane Dawson's five-part docuseries that the end of his music career had left him essentially bankrupt, and that he had used his remaining savings to launch his makeup line. Star began promoting the brand through YouTube videos, which led to the success of his YouTube channel, which had 15.8 million subscribers and more than 2.5 billion views as of August 2024. His first cosmetics release was a line of velour liquid lipsticks, followed by highlighter palettes, lip scrubs, eyeshadow palettes, clothing, and accessories like mirrors and make-up bags.

If Star falls within this range, Net Worth Spot calculates that he earns $13.422,000 a year, or $201.322,000 monthly. However, $201.32 thousand annually may be a modest estimate. A year's worth of advertising revenue might exceed $362,380 if Star earns at the top of the scale. The majority of YouTuber channels don't depend on just one revenue stream.
