The US teenager, from Connecticut, reached the milestone after just a year-and-a-half on the social media platform despite such a huge following usually being reserved for A-list celebrities.
Known for her dance videos, D'Amelio began posting on TikTok in May 2019. Two months later, she had her first viral video.
She regularly appears with her family members, including older sister Dixie D'Amelio, also a TikTok star.
Her popularity has scored her opportunities most teenagers could only dream of, including an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and a partnership with Prada at Milan Fashion Week.

She has also struck sponsorship deals with brands including EOS cosmetics, starred in a Super Bowl advert for Sabra hummus, and agreed to be the face of Hollister alongside her sister.
The range of deals earned the 16-year-old $4m (£3m) in the year from June 2019, according to Forbes.
