We do not know what fame and success look like if that is not what they do.
The Ascent to Fame
At his elementary school, Link made the acquaintance of his long-term friend and business partner. They remained close for a very long time, and eventually, both of them left their lucrative engineering professions to focus solely on their YouTube channels.
The pair were natural entertainers who gained a following for writing and singing funny songs about varied subjects. In 2006, Link and Rhett launched their first channel, “Rhett and Link,” with the help of their families. In the beginning, they posted short movies, documentaries, and advertisements for regional products. They quickly diversified their offerings to include humorous sketches and even raps and songs.
Their morning program debuted in January 2011 under the name “Good Morning Chia Lincoln.” Since half of their Chia pets had passed away by February of that year, they had to rebrand the program. Finally, they settled on the term “Good Mythical morning,” which rapidly captured the attention of the audience. Influencers on social media like PewDiePie, comedians like Amy Schumer, and actors like Daniel Radcliffe have all appeared on the program. Additionally, it has earned other honors, such as Best Variety Series at the 2013 International Academy of Web Television Awards. A number of the show’s spinoffs, such as “The Mythical Show,” “The Good Mythical More,” and “This is Mythical,” have since developed.
In the “Epic Rap Battles of History,” Link performed as a guest and rapped as the aviator Orville Write, the artist Leonardo Da Vinci, and the explorer Lewis Meriwether.
The development of sponsored movies and commercials for numerous well-known brands, such as McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Coca-Cola, Cadillac, Wendy’s, Rush T-shirts, Amazon Echo, and Alka-Seltzer, has also been a part of Link’s resume. The final results were highly praised and received numerous accolades, including the Best Online Promotion for the Apparel Industry at the 2010 Spirit Awards and the Consumer Goods Category at the 2008 Advertising Age W3 Awards and Adweek Buzz Awards.
In 2013, SoundCloud and iTunes worked with Link and Rhett to create their PodCast project. In 2001 and 2005, respectively, he produced the music albums “Just Mail Us the Grammy” and “I’m Sorry, What Was That?”
Additionally, they have composed music for their YouTube Red program “The Rhett and Link Buddy System,” which, coincidentally, dethroned “Orange is the New Black” on the list of most popular digital programs.
Due to his popularity, Link has appeared on numerous notable television talk shows, including “The Jimmy Fallon Show,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” and “Conan.”
In addition, Link and Rhett wrote a book together titled “Rhett & Link’s Book of Mythicality: A Field Guide to Curiosity, Creativity, and Tomfoolery,” which will be released by Hachette UK in October 2017.
Because of the internet’s role in their success, Link refers to him and Rhett as “Internetainers.” Additionally, he is the owner of Mythical Productions, a production firm.
His combined net worth as of April 2017 with partner Rhett is projected to be approximately 7.5 million USD, making him a member of the most successful YouTube franchise in recent memory.
