A lot of children want to grow up to be a singer, actor, (or, these days) a famous YouTube star but seldom do they dream of doing all three.

How Did Troye Sivan Make His Money & Wealth?
Continuing with his music career, Troye released another EP in 2012, June Haverly, and also turned his attention to YouTube as the platform had gained serious clout in both social media and pop culture. Having been an early adopter, he now posted vlogs and the subscriber count just kept climbing into the millions, bringing him fame outside Australia and even a collaboration with fellow YouTube sensation Tyler Oakley. Troye’s big musical break came in 2013 when he signed with EMI Australia and his next EP, TRXYE, hit big, charting No. 2 in Canada and New Zealand and No. 1 on iTunes in over 55 countries, ultimately hitting No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and certified gold in Australia. He would drop his next EP, Wild, in 2015 to see it hit No. 1 in Australia and No. 5 in the US, and served as an intro to his first big tour and his first studio album, Blue Neighborhood, which released in December and was certified gold. 2016 was also a banner year that Troye spent touring, supporting Blue Neighborhood and doing the rounds of concerts and TV talk shows such as The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and The Ellen Degeneres Show.
A successful childhood and charmed teen years aren’t always the rosy times they seem, however. Troye suffers from a mild form of Marfan Syndrome though is presently in very good health. He also came out as gay to his YouTube audience in 2013, having come out to his family 3 years earlier after a great deal of soul-searching. As a result, Troye cares deeply about LGBT+ issues and has featured those issues in his music videos in a bid to share the representation his always craved when he was young.
