Dr. Sandra Lee’s estimated net worth in 2021 is $8 million.
A major part of Sandra’s income comes from her skin-care brand, SLMD Skincare, and her career as a dermatologist. She is still running her cosmetic dermatology practice in Upland, California.
As per salary.com, the average annual salary for a dermatologist is $350,800 as of December 2020, but the salary ranges from $256,233 to $462,561.
Sandra is a big social media personality with 6.87 million subscribers on her YouTube channel and 781k followers on Instagram.
In a 2018 Wealthsimple interview, Sandra said that she used to make six figures a month from her YouTube channel. But that has changed since YouTube changed its content-creator monetization policy.
“Before YouTube demonetized, posting my videos was quite lucrative. At one point, my channel was bringing in six figures a month, and that was ridiculous,” Sandra told Wealthsimple.
“But that ended. Still, I was lucky enough to have already built an audience. If I started posting to YouTube now, I don’t think I could build up anything close to what I have.”
