About
Cyrus Veyssi is an American content creator, beauty influencer, actor and Broadway performer. They are best known for makeup tutorials and humor-driven family and identity content across TikTok and Instagram, where their audience tops 1.9 million on TikTok alone.
Veyssi's career has widened well beyond short-form video. In 2025 they landed on the Time 100 Creators list. In 2026 they made their Broadway debut as May in & Juliet and launched a fragrance, L'Essence Shirin, with Le Monde Gourmand. They also write a Substack and released a book-journal called Honey.
What sets Veyssi apart is the blend: practical beauty expertise, comedic storytelling about their Iranian immigrant family, and reflective self-improvement material. Fans come for the fluffy-brow tutorials and stay for the honesty about identity and self-acceptance. Their work has been featured by Forbes, Vogue and Cosmopolitan, and they maintain an Amazon storefront and a Linktree hub alongside their main platforms.
Early Life & Background
Before the brand deals and the Broadway marquee, Veyssi was a trained actor grinding through the usual auditions. Vogue noted that they found themselves without auditions and a lot of time to fill during a stretch when acting work dried up. That gap is where the social media career took root.
Veyssi is a first-generation Iranian immigrant to the United States, and they identify as nonbinary, using they/them pronouns in press coverage. A knowledge-graph link associates them with Tufts University in Medford/Somerville, Massachusetts, though that detail is not corroborated in the retrieved coverage and should be treated as unconfirmed.
Alongside performing, Veyssi built a professional foundation in brand and digital work. Their LinkedIn lists them as founder of Cyrus Media Inc. in New York, describing five-plus years of brand building combined with digital strategy, cultural communications and influencer marketing. That background gave them a practical understanding of how brands and audiences connect online, which they later applied to their own platform.
The pivot to content creation was gradual. They started posting makeup tutorials and humorous family videos, and the audience grew steadily. By the time they crossed one million followers across TikTok and Instagram, the acting career had been supplemented by a new kind of performance: one built on direct conversation with an audience, on their own terms.
Career Growth
The breakthrough came as Veyssi's TikTok and Instagram following crossed one million. Their TikTok (@cyrusveyssi) now reports 1.9 million followers and 133.7 million likes, with a bio that reads "*sea-roos* your girlfriend's favorite comedian." The content toggled between humorous family videos and traditional beauty tutorials, with fluffy brows and makeup routines frequently cited by fans and press.
In 2025, Veyssi was named to the Time 100 Creators list. That same year they co-hosted the 10-episode Amazon Prime talk show Influenced. In April 2026, Forbes featured them in a "Talks Shop" piece about going viral, staying authentic and learning to unplug. They also released Honey, a book-journal built around journaling and intention-setting, under their own name.
The biggest year yet was 2026. On September 22, Playbill, Broadway News, BroadwayWorld and TicketNews reported that Veyssi would make their Broadway debut as May in & Juliet, beginning October 13. The debut was confirmed with video coverage from BroadwayWorld, Broadway.com and IMDb. Around the same time, Veyssi launched L'Essence Shirin, a fragrance with Le Monde Gourmand, as the third entry in that brand's Coterie collection. Men's Journal reported the launch on October 11, and Happi noted that Le Monde Gourmand had recruited "Broadway's Cyrus Veyssi" for the scent. Cosmopolitan's exclusive noted it "smells way more expensive than $30."
Beyond those headline projects, Veyssi writes a Substack described as "bringing out the best and most confident side of you, one lesson at a time," maintains an Amazon storefront of recommended products, and has a Linktree hub for TikTok and Instagram. They appeared on the podcast A Really Good Cry and have done dozens of brand collaborations and social campaigns.
Career Timeline
Public Image & Style
Veyssi's public image blends comedic, family-driven storytelling with practical beauty expertise and reflective self-love content. Coveteur frames their message around "finding healing through humor, dealing with haters, and the secret to self-love." Playbill describes them as using "humor and storytelling to champion self-expression and representation." Their social media voice is warm, funny and direct, often mixing makeup routines with candid talk about identity. The aesthetic leans polished but approachable: fluffy brows, glowing skin, and a conversational tone that makes followers feel like they are talking to a friend rather than watching a tutorial.
Fame & Fandom (iFAMOUS Rankings)
iFANN has not yet collected fame data for Cyrus Veyssi, so no ranking placement is available. They are not on the September 2026 iFAMOUS Rankings flagship list. What is clear is the scale of their following: 1.9 million on TikTok with 133.7 million likes, plus a substantial Instagram audience. Their fanbase does not have a formal name, and no organized fan campaigns (billboards, charity drives, streaming pushes) are documented. Instead, the audience is a loose, engaged community drawn to Veyssi's blend of beauty tips, family humor and identity-focused storytelling. Fans often comment on their fluffy-brow tutorials and share their own stories of self-acceptance in response. The relationship is conversational: Veyssi replies to comments, shares personal updates, and treats the platform as a two-way conversation rather than a broadcast.
Interesting Facts and Legends
Their handle is pronounced "sea-roos," which they spell out in their TikTok bio. They are a trained actor who turned to social media when auditions stalled, a pivot that Vogue detailed in 2026. Their fragrance, L'Essence Shirin, launched at roughly $30 despite press framing it as smelling far more expensive. A video profile is titled "Cyrus Veyssi: From 'Bougie Gay Uncle' To Their Next Big Act," a nickname that has stuck with fans. They also run a Substack with thousands of subscribers, where the tagline promises to bring out "the best and most confident side of you, one lesson at a time." They maintain a YouTube channel in addition to their TikTok and Instagram presence.

iFANN Editorial Team estimate
No credible net worth figure appears in any retrieved source, so any specific dollar amount is an estimate. The iFANN Editorial Team's analysis of Veyssi's earnings, ventures and assets points to roughly $2 million as of 2026. That figure reflects a diversified income stream rather than a single salary.
The documented revenue sources include brand consulting through Cyrus Media Inc., where Veyssi has five-plus years of experience in brand building and digital strategy. Brand collaborations and social media campaigns form a significant portion of income, with dozens of partnerships across beauty, lifestyle and fragrance categories. The Amazon storefront generates affiliate revenue, and the Substack brings in subscription income from thousands of subscribers. The Honey book-journal adds publishing royalties, while the Le Monde Gourmand fragrance collaboration and the Broadway engagement in & Juliet represent newer, high-profile income streams.
Veyssi's financial trajectory has grown alongside their audience. The jump from social media creator to Broadway performer and fragrance collaborator in 2026 likely increased earning potential, though exact figures are not public. The combination of consulting, content, publishing and performance gives them multiple revenue channels that extend beyond typical influencer income.
