Doggface208, a viral internet sensation, has swept the international and national communities alike. It is for this reason that he has a net worth of 500,000 US Dollars.
How Did Doggface208 Become Rich?
Born Nathan Apodaca in Idaho Falls on October 24th 1982, he adopted the internet persona of ‘Doggface208’. Doggface has three siblings and attended Skyline High School and Idaho State University and Eastern Idaho Technical School. Doggface is a nickname and a homage to another artist, and the ‘208’ in Idaho falls area code.
Before his internet fame, he worked as a forklift operator, shipping and receiving agent. He also worked in the same Idaho potato plant that his father worked at; after that, he joined the firefighter team for seven years but was forced to leave that job and return to his career at the potato plant during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. His life before his fame was less than glamorous; he lived out of a trailer that he parked in his brother’s lawn. The trailer did not have any running water, meaning he had to find other means of showering.
However, he did not let his circumstances get the better of him; he kept a positive attitude and danced as a means to release stress and entertain those around him. In November 2017, his daughters introduced him to Tik Tok and made him his first account, Doggface208, but he posted his first video to the Getup and Dance trend that garnered him over 700,000 views and 100,000 likes. He was content with this engagement and wanted to delete his account, but his daughter encouraged him to keep going, so he continued to post dance videos on the app. When he decided to commercialize on this fame in 2019, Tik Tok banned his account for marketing his homemade merchandise. After this, he created a new account, 420doggface208, where, in September of 2020, he posted his now infamous longboarding video drinking Ocean Spray cranberry juice while listening to Fleetwood Mac’s song ‘Dreams.’
Doggface was surprised when the video garnered over 35,000,000 views and over 6,000,000 likes on TikTok. He stated that he picked the song because he grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac, and his family loves the band; his video helped the song blow upon the application and billboard charts.
