Marc has more than 1.8 million ‘TikTok’ followers on his individual account on the platform and proclaims to be “CEO of The D’Amelio Family.” He is also the founder of an apparel brand named ‘Level 4 Collective,’ which he established in 2006.

The Hype House and UTA

In late 2019, the D’Amelio sisters became part of the social-media collaborative ‘The Hype House.’ They, along with a number of other social-media influencers, reportedly, started living in an actual house in Los Angeles, named ‘The Hype House,’ and started collaborating on content that they uploaded on their joint ‘TikTok’ account. The idea was started by “YouTuber” Thomas Petrou. A January 2020 article, however, stated that Dixie and Charli never actually lived in the house but were frequent visitors.

In January 2020, Heidi D’Amelio, along with her two daughters and Marc, signed a contract with the Beverly Hills, California-based ‘United Talent Agency’ (UTA). The deal came in the wake of the growing popularity of Dixie and Charli as part of ‘The Hype House.’ ‘UTA’ will work with the D’Amelio family on their online content, live tours, podcasts, TV, books, and licensing, and brand endorsements.
