Haliey Welch, also known as “Hawk Tuah Girl,” became an internet sensation in 2024 after a viral video catapulted her into the spotlight. The 22-year-old has since leveraged her fame to launch her own podcast and create her own meme coin. However, the influencer recently faced criticism after her HAWK meme coin’s value reportedly plummeted $440 million within its first 20 minutes. As of December 5, 2024, it dropped to $29 million, according to DexScreener.
The rapid decline left many investors in financial distress, leading to an outcry on social media. One user on X (formerly Twitter) expressed their frustration, stating, “You didn’t mention that you were going to buy 97% of the supply and sell it almost immediately to make a large profit. If I would have known that information I would have not purchased your coin. Please help me or who can I contact for refund? If not I will be forced to use legal action.”
Despite the controversy surrounding the HAWK meme coin, Haliey quickly made a name for herself on social media in just a few months. Here’s what we know about the influencer’s financial success and background.
