Amazing Megan: 'Hot girl' year in review

We just can’t get enough of our beloved “Hot Girl” Megan Thee Stallion, who has had one hell of a 2022. She is ending this year on a historic high note as the first Black woman featured on the cover of Forbes’ ’30 under 30′ issue, and 2023 is already shaping up to be another big year.

According to Forbes, the 27-year-old Houston native brought in a whopping $13 million in 2022 through royalties, ticket sales, merch, and big endorsements, including deals with Nike, Popeyes, Revlon, Cash App, Netflix and Time Inc., the latter reportedly paying her $3 million to produce a documentary on her life.

“It’s really hard to be the first something in 2022. I want to be bigger than just my music. I want people to know Megan as everything that she ever wanted to be. Megan the artist. I feel I’ve always liked to dabble and dab in a lot of different things, and I feel like I got that from my mom and my dad. My dad was a street guy, he was an entrepreneur, he had his own clothing line. My mother, I watched her go to work nine-to-five every day and come home and write songs. And take me to the studio, and be a mom, and be just a good woman in general.”
