If you don’t know who Owen Niestat is – then you are one of the many. Although the young man has quite a large following on social media, he still has a long way to go before he can be called “instafamous” or “online famous”. Online stardom happens when someone becomes famous on the internet, either virally or through social media. However, Owen Neistat has enjoyed some recognition online, thanks to his father’s fame.
Owen Neistat Bio & Age
Owen Neistat was born in 1998, when his father, Casey Neistat, was only seventeen. His mother’s name is Robin Harris and when Owen was born, she was in a relationship with Casey. Unfortunately, his parents separated a little later and were never married although they had been together for over three years.
Owen also has a half-sister, Francine, from his father’s marriage to Candice Pool, the jewelry designer.
Owen is currently a student at the University of San Francisco, where he is studying hotel management. In 2020, he will obtain his bachelor’s degree in commercial sciences. Owen also worked temporarily as an archival intern at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, Connecticut, where he archived theater archives and organized/sorted props used by the theater.
Owen also interned at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – Media Lab shortly before entering college. If that proves anything, it’s that Owen is an ambitious man who devotes all of his available time to projects that enhance his skills.
Parents: father, mother and stepmother
Little is known about Owen’s mother, as she does not have a career in the limelight. All we know about her is that she gave birth to her son when she was a teenager. Owen’s father is Casey Neistat, a famous YouTuber, vlogger, filmmaker and founder of Beme, a multimedia company.
Casey was born on the 25th day of March 1981 in Connecticut. The Youtube star dropped out of high school during her freshman year. At 17, Casey left his family and moved to a trailer park with his then-girlfriend, Robin Harris (Owen’s mother). They lived together until the age of twenty, when Casey decided to move to New York to create a better future for himself. In New York, he first worked as a dishwasher and cook in several restaurants. He also lived near the World Trade Center during the 9/11 attacks. He has since described that day as the scariest day of his life.
In 2015, Casey announced he was creating a video-sharing app, Beme, with Matt Hackett. The app, which allowed users to upload four-second videos, was meant to provide an alternative to all the heavily edited content currently on social media. The app has been incredibly successful, and it was announced in November 2016 that CNN was acquiring Beme for $25 million.
Owen’s father’s success is literally the epitome of the phrase “grass to grace.”
Owen’s mother-in-law is Candice Pool, a South African jewelry designer. Candice was born on October 19th , 1977 and actually grew up in Texas before moving to New York where she met Owen’s father.
Before launching her jewelry company, FINN Jewelry, she worked as a bartender. Taylor Swift, Karlie Kloss and Naomi Watts are among her clients.
Owen Neistat: Gay or Straight
It has become common to speculate about the sexuality of famous people, or in this case – the son of a famous person. However, there is no information available about Owen’s personal life as it relates to relationships. The youngster has yet to tell the public whether he’s gay or straight (nor shouldn’t he) and there isn’t enough information about his past relationships online to guess. Currently, the only people who know if Owen Neistat is gay or straight are Owen and possibly family members.
Size weight
Currently, information about his height, weight, and body measurements are currently unavailable. However, from photos posted by himself and his father, it can be seen that Owen Neistat is in great shape. This may be due to his age, his good genes or his efforts to keep up with his father who currently weighs 72 kg (170 lb) and is listed as 1.75 m (5 ft 11 in) tall.
