Scots influencer Jamie Genevieve has been named in Forbes' 30 Under 30 list. The Scots beauty took to social media on Tuesday as she informed her followers and fans that she had made the prestigious list of names.
The pregnant 29-year-old has built up a huge following for her make-up tutorials online, in which she shares tricks to achieve her signature look. Jamie was working on a beauty counter at Debenhams in make-up when she started posting on Instagram and YouTube, and brands soon got in touch asking her to plug their products.
And taking to Facebook this evening, Jamie - who is estimated to be worth more than £1.6million - wrote: "Forbes 30 Under 30, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!! Almost 5 years ago, I was sitting in Starbucks Glasgow Airport having one of the very first VIEVE meetings and I was asked by my colleague what goals I had for myself in the world of business.
"I started to speak and actually stopped myself because I thought it sounded so ridiculous, but with gentle encouragement I said ‘I would love to be in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list’. Makes me want to cry, thinking what that Jamie from 5 years ago would think seeing everything that has been accomplished today!
"What a huge dream come true. Thank you @forbes, my wonderful @vievemuse team and to you all for your continued love and support. Without you, I wouldn’t be here. X"
Many of her fans were quick to congratulate her, with one person saying: "Congrats!! That is amazing! I’m over the 30 age bar now so I’ll never be on that list". Another wrote: "Absolutely amazing, congratulations". A third posted: "Well done Jamie, amazing achievement".
While a fourth commented: "Congratulations- you deserve it and more. I love Vieve and I love watching your vlogs. Your vlogs kept me going during lockdown and became my Sunday night routine. I’m indebted to you! Go smash it".
This year's Forbes 30 Under 30 in Social Media list, which highlights the people, forces and companies shaping the creator economy, was created with the help of nominations from the public.
