Ann McFerran Net Worth 2026: Glamnetic Founder and CEO

Ann McFerran is the founder and CEO of Glamnetic, the self-funded magnetic-lash and press-on-nail brand she started from her Los Angeles bedroom in 2019. No reputable outlet has published a personal net worth figure for her. What is on record is the size of the business: about $50 million in sales in 2020, according to Forbes, and over $100 million in yearly revenue by 2026, according to her cofounder in a Shopify interview.

What is Ann McFerran's Net Worth?

There is no reliable published estimate. An earlier version of this page gave $12.5 million, but it had no source, so we have removed it. Forbes, Bloomberg and Celebrity Net Worth have not valued her personal fortune.

The reason her wealth is hard to pin down is that Glamnetic is private. It has never raised venture capital, so there is no funding round that would put a price on the company, and her ownership share has not been disclosed. The brand has a cofounder, Kevin Gould, which means the company's value is not hers alone. What can be said is that she founded and runs a consumer brand that Forbes described as profitable in 2021 and whose sales reached nine figures, and that stakes in businesses like that are usually the largest part of a founder's wealth.

How Ann McFerran Makes Her Money

The yearly, monthly and daily income figures that used to sit here were made up, so they are gone. Her salary as CEO has never been published. Her earnings come from:

• Glamnetic. Her main source of wealth. Forbes reported $50 million in 2020 sales, profitability and 70 full-time staff in 2021. Inc. reported in April 2026 that the brand had passed $100 million in accumulated revenue without outside funding.
• Art. Before Glamnetic she painted and, at 20, sold one painting for $10,000, Forbes reported. The current page's description of her as a painter comes from this period; painting is no longer her main income.
• Early investing. She told Bustle she had been day trading cryptocurrency since 2017, and told Retail Brew she had past experience in stock trading. No figures from this have been reported.

Glamnetic by the Numbers

The Shopify interview, given by cofounder Kevin Gould, is candid about the dip. The company bought inventory expecting to double again after 2020, then Apple's iOS privacy changes made Facebook and Instagram ads far more expensive and the lash category shrank back toward its normal growth rate. Because Glamnetic had no investors, it had to manage cash tightly while moving into nails. The nail bet is what took revenue past $100 million.

Early Life & Family

McFerran was born in Bangkok, Thailand, and moved to the United States at age seven. Her family settled in Manteca, a small town in California's Central Valley, according to Forbes. She told Bustle she was the only Asian student at her school and turned to makeup as a way to fit in, and that false lashes in particular gave her confidence.

Her parents pushed her toward medicine. Earlier versions of this page said she grew up in Los Angeles and was in medical school; both claims are wrong according to Forbes, and we have removed them. Details of her personal relationships have not been reported by a reliable outlet, so we do not include them.

Education

She completed pre-med studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2015, Forbes reported. Rather than go to medical school, she taught herself supply chain management through YouTube, Coursera and Udemy courses while developing her first lash product.

Professional Life

After UCLA she painted and built an Instagram audience to find buyers. Painting was slow and unpredictable, so she started posting makeup looks, which her followers liked more. Frustrated that the magnetic lashes on the market did not hold, she spent more than a year developing a magnetic eyeliner that lashes stick to, with no glue.

The start was scrappy. Forbes described her recruiting free models through Bumble BFF. Inc. reported that her first four hires quit on their first day once they saw that headquarters was her bedroom in a Koreatown apartment, and that her early goal was only $10,000 a month. She ordered 100 units, sold out, and kept doubling each order.

Today she describes her CEO role as a mix of content creation, product development, retail displays, affiliate coaching and people management. She says she now spends much of her time forecasting nail trends. She has named the Harry Potter and Hello Kitty collaborations as her favorite projects, and said both set sales records for the brand.

Age, Height, Weight

Forbes gave her age as 27 in May 2021, which puts her in her early thirties in 2026. The height and weight on the old version of this page had no source and have been removed.
