Our picks
Methodology
To determine the best personal finance TikTokers for 2023, we spent a lot of time on the personal finance hashtags on TikTok, making note of videos and accounts we liked. We also looked to other financial journalists, including those at Time, Forbes, CNBC, and NPR, to see which accounts had caught their attention. Ultimately we chose TikTokers who explained personal finance concepts simply and compellingly, making personal finance fun and interesting without overpromising results or oversimplifying wealth-building strategies.
