Austin McBroom Net Worth

What is Austin McBroom's net worth?

Austin McBroom is an American social media personality, former college basketball player, and YouTube creator who has a net worth of $2 million. Austin McBroom rose to prominence through The ACE Family channel, which he launched with his then-wife Catherine Paiz. The couple became online superstars by chronicling their lives as young parents and influencers, drawing more than 19 million subscribers and billions of views. Their video "The Best Proposal of All Time" has more than 39 million total views.

Austin cultivated a charismatic, family-man image, but behind the scenes, controversy was mounting. In addition to a string of business misfires, including a poorly executed boxing event under his company, Social Gloves, McBroom faced ongoing allegations of infidelity. In 2024, he and Catherine announced their divorce. One year later, following the release of Catherine's memoir and a headline-making podcast interview, Austin publicly admitted to cheating during their marriage.

McBroom began his public life as a standout athlete at Campbell Hall School, where he played alongside future NBA star Jrue Holiday, and later played college basketball at Saint Louis University. Though his fame has been tied largely to YouTube, his legacy now includes high-profile legal disputes, business failures, and a public reckoning over his personal behavior. Despite the fallout, he remains active online and continues to seek relevance in the influencer space. They parlayed YouTube stardom into a lifestyle brand that seemingly afforded a garage full of expensive cars, a $10 million mansion, and more. But their success has not been without controversy.

Early Life

Austin McBroom was born on May 20, 1992, in North Hollywood, California. His younger brother, Landon McBroom, would eventually become a social media star as well. The McBrooms were a sports-oriented family, and Austin played multiple sports throughout his childhood, including basketball, football, and baseball. He attended Campbell Hall School in Los Angeles, where he played on the basketball team alongside future NBA star Jrue Holiday and helped lead the team to a state championship. McBroom went on to play college basketball, spending time at Central Michigan, Saint Louis University, and Eastern Washington. Though he never made it to the NBA, his athleticism and outgoing personality would serve him well in a different kind of spotlight.

YouTube Success

After college, McBroom shifted his focus to content creation. In 2016, he and Catherine Paiz launched The ACE Family YouTube channel, initially as a way to document their lives as young parents. The name "ACE" came from the initials of Austin, Catherine, and their first daughter, Elle. Their relatable family content, extravagant giveaways, and over-the-top pranks resonated with millions of viewers. As their subscriber count soared, so did their brand partnerships and lifestyle, which included luxury cars, designer clothing, and a custom-built mansion. McBroom's flashy persona and ambition helped turn The ACE Family into a multi-platform media brand, though his business dealings and personal choices would later cloud the family's legacy.

Social Gloves Fiasco

In June 2020, Austin produced an event called "Social Gloves: Battle of the Platforms," which pitted YouTube and TikTok personalities in a boxing event. The event was organized by Austin's company, Simply Greatness Productions LLC. The event was hoping to receive 2.2 million Pay Per View buys. According to a lawsuit filed months later, the event only drew 136,000 PPV buys. The lack of PPV interest set off a slew of lawsuits from performers and production companies involved in the event. Austin's company was reportedly at one point considering filing for bankruptcy and suing one of the marketing firms for failing to properly market the event. A marketing firm called LiveXLive sued McBroom's company seeking $100 million in damages. Two performers sued, claiming to be owed around $2.7 million for their boxing services.

According to several reports, including one from the NY Post and another from Billboard, Brooklyn Nets star James Harden and rapper Lil Baby, both invested in the event, were allegedly seeking millions in owed payments.

Personal Life and Cheating Scandal

Austin McBroom married Catherine Paiz in a private ceremony in 2017. The couple kept their marriage quiet until January 2020, when they shared the news alongside the announcement of their third pregnancy. Over the years, they became known for showcasing their family life online with their three children: Elle, Alaïa, and Steel. Despite projecting a devoted partnership on camera, persistent rumors of McBroom's infidelity followed them throughout their rise to fame.

In January 2024, Austin and Catherine announced their divorce, stating that they would continue to co-parent amicably. In May 2025, Catherine gave a revealing interview on "Call Her Daddy" and released the first volume of her memoir, "DOLORES: My Journey Home," both of which detailed years of alleged cheating, emotional exhaustion, and gaslighting. Catherine claimed she discovered at least three affairs and recalled incidents during her pregnancies that shattered her trust. McBroom later confirmed in a 31-minute Snapchat video that he had "100% stepped out" of the marriage and took "full accountability," although he insisted that Catherine had known about his behavior. She publicly denied ever approving of his actions, stating, "You never cheat on the person you love, and I would never in a million years say that."

Real Estate

In May 2019, Austin and Catherine paid $10.6 million for a mid-construction property in Woodland Hills, California. According to real estate records, they put roughly $1 million down and financed roughly $9 million. Their monthly mortgage bill came to $70,000. That would require approximately $1.7 million per year in pre-tax earnings to service.

At the time of the purchase, the property featured two unfinished mansions. The couple proceeded to complete the construction, spending millions of additional dollars. The final product features a half basketball court, mini-put course, and a wrapping infinity pool that stretches two sides of the property.

In an interview with the Daily Mail in December 2019, Catherine claimed that the family had been victims of a "dishonest contractor" who allegedly used a fake license to win their business, then never completed the project, leaving them without a certificate of occupancy, which is required to actually live in the house. The family moved into the house anyway because their lease at a previous mansion was up. During their time living in the home, it did not have gas, which meant they did not have hot water or heat for more than two years. They were not even able to do laundry.

In September 2019, they filmed a tour of the mansion for their YouTube channel:

At the 1 hour 3 minute mark of the above video, note how Austin decides to ride a jet ski in their infinity pool. This action reportedly caused a mudslide on the neighbor's property below.

On July 7, 2021, it was reported that the McBrooms had stopped making payments on their mansion in early 2021, and the property was allegedly entering pre-foreclosure. A week later, the home was listed as for sale on the MLS for $10 million.

In March 2022, the McBrooms moved into a rental home in Tarzana, California, which had been listed for $50,000 per month.
