Wisconsin check… followed by a montage of Culver’s and Kwik Trip videos. I used to wonder how Wisconsinites found their way to my for you page but I’ve stopped questioning it. TikTok really said for you and I’m here for it!
Based on knowing some of them or my best guess through looking at countless TikToks by each creator (checking for WI landmarks, local hashtags, and any other local mentions) I am fairly confident that everyone on this list is currently IN Wisconsin at the time of writing this. I know there are also a few local brands on TikTok, but for the purpose of this list – I’m sticking to individuals (some of these individuals are also entrepreneurs – make that money!).

One guy that I just can’t count on this list because his bios claim Chicago but I’ve heard rumors that he lives south of Milwaukee (which, technically Chicago is that) is Daniel LaBelle (@daniel.labelle). He has 17.8M followers on TikTok and on January 4, 2021 he dropped a video with scenes from around the city of Milwaukee.
Also, Elle Liniewski (@elleliniewski – 1.9M followers) was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but currently attends the University of South Carolina.

There are certainly more than 50 Wisconsin creators with over 50,000 followers and I’m going to miss some people – I’d love to make more of these lists (feel free to DM me with more suggestions @JMattMke). On this inaugural list, 7 accounts are verified, and 10 of those featured have one million followers or more (yes, Giannis Antetokounmpo is included… but he isn’t the most followed on this list)!
50,000 – Welcome to the Club!
TikTok is an app where you can grow at such a rapid rate, but getting the ball rolling still takes effort. Getting your first 50K is no easy task (for most of us at least!).

1,000,000 – Millionaires!
It’s hard to believe that there’s more than 1 Wisconsin content creator with over a million followers on TikTok, but we actually have quite a few! One of them is Giannis… which, I guess would be the guy we’d all expect.

Working my way through this list. Might take me a month or two cuz I end up watching 100s of videos with each click lol
I hear you! I still need to do a deep dive of some of their accounts. So many to follow, and there are even more just getting into their groove. I’ll have to make a second list soon!
Matt Sloniker – @decayingmatt (364.5k) is from Wisconsin too
