@@lilbabytears ur such a fan 😂 u must have watched her draw my life video. so u know that her childhood aside, she still *was* dead broke and took up *multiple* side jobs to make ends met. She 100% has a selfmade CAREER. Her dedication and creativity is what brought her to where she is now. There's enough room for everyone to be successful, no need to be jealous. Go watch some more of her videos fan😂maybe you'll get inspired.

I literally started tearing up watching your video, I came here straight from your vlog. Just wanted to let you know I love you and your videos soo much
Being a veteran, you'd think she'd encounter scandals but since she's always been honest and true to herself and simply minding her own business and living her best life, I MUST SAY KUDOS. You do you, Amber! Love your personality sm

She has had “scandals” but it’s mainly people coming up with random stuff to hate her for; being hyper sexual, “having a sugar daddy” and lying about it, her fast fashion collab with meshki. People are just bored and jealous I guess.

She had a scandal because she collaborated with Shein (Fast Fashion Brand). Many people complained that she just cared about the money and not the environment. She is honest, yes, because it is all about money for her, and it always has been, and she is honest about that. This is not me hating on Amber, I mean, who would not take a lucrative deal like this, but yeah, she is not scandal-free.

The thing that I admire the most in Amber is the way she made her dream life into a reality. She seems genuinely happy. She teaches us to run towards our dreams like the floor is on fire. She stays humble and is always real in her videos. That's what's attracting people to her. She teaches us to go for our dreams doesn't matter how crazy it may sound. Her success story gives us hope.

I'm 66 and have been watching Amber since her first video was suggested many years ago. She reminds me of myself at her age and it thrills me to see a young woman grow and change into the wonderful woman she has become. In reading the comments others leave for her, anyone can see she is inspiring to so many. She has her head together and I wish for her the best. Thank you for interviewing her and showing Forbes support for women. Well done.

Amber is the definition of true feminism and the power of women without ever sliding down the toxicity side or degrading the opposite sex. She is showing the weapons of a woman without manipulating men or people, she is touching the deepest parts of human soul and inspiring people to give a chance to their passion.

Poor Audio Forbes, Wish i could hear clearly
Amber is literally the role model I didn’t know I could have as an adult. I’m so happy she’s being interviewed by Forbes!!
I just texted my friend who used to laugh at these DIY videos I sent them of Amber and now she's on Forbes and I get to show them this too ! Im so happy for you a inspiration . Congrats and much success for you
Literally some of the best things I’ve heard she’s so inspiring so humble and so genuine I love her and would love to meet her again some day 😩😩
Acting and music and the arts in general were not taken seriously at first and still aren't in some countries. So of course KZread would not be taken seriously right away. All KZreadrs should be proud. It's a lot of work that goes unseen. I'm so happy for Amber making and manifesting all her dreams into reality.
One of the most inspirational people I’ve ever followed! The advice she gives, her candidness, encouragement, confidence, her story!!! Her mastery in the art of manifesting!!!! I absolutely love Amber! Congrats to you on this interview, girl! You are amazing🔥🫶🏾♥️
I love her fun, positive, and carefree personality. She really connects to her audience and is a real person. She's so lovable!

What I love about Amber is like she said, she's genuine & authentic. She was determined to make it, and look here she is getting interviewed for Forbes. Amber is a shinning example of feminine power at its most potent. You gotta be at least a little delusional, no plan b's if you truly believe in yourself and your vision. Her story resonates so deep within myself because I'm on a similar path myself, with similar ideology. Being on Forbes richest self made woman cover is an absolute *dream* of mine, & to see her put this on her dream board and it become reality is the pinochle of success, doing what you love no matter how many people tell you you're crazy. *just do it.* failing is only a small critical part of success, cause if you fail you get back up and try again. Blessings to all the young ladies (& gents) out here in the comments pursuing their dreams, may the universe conspire in your favor ✨
Amber I’m not kidding when I say I’ve been watching you since day one and seeing how far you’ve come makes me feel so proud of you 🥺 you are truly one of my inspirations luv you girl💕

Such a beautiful person inside and out. The world really does need more people like Amber.
Amber deserves every bit of her success. She is a modern day icon. ✨

Can Forbes afford an audio mixer? Jeeeesh! If it wasn't Amber, I'd not watch.
So happy for amber! She’s accomplished so much and is an inspiring woman.
Great interview!
She is such a doll, so proud to see this!
I literally love you amber! I’m so happy at how far you’ve come💕😍
I am so proud of her. Such an amazing woman on the inside and out.
I haven't been her fan for long but the second i clicked my first video of her I knew i was hooked, i know shes an adult and i know she handles a lot of stuff but with how far she's grown im honestly proud of her she says its us but the only reason it is us is because of her, all of it leads back to her no matter what and im so greatful to see her go so far from just so little. She can truly be many peoples idols and just someone a lot of people look up to because i know i do :) ♥️
yaaaassssss amber !!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 haven’t seen any video in a while to come and find you here ✨✨✨ I loved this interview
I remember watching her videos back in 2017. Coming from a horrible break up and someone who didn't know how to dress, she's one of the main reasons I learned how to dress better and get more confidence. I will always be grateful Amber 💖
Way to grow Amber!
Couldn’t be anymore happy for her ❤️!
