#2: 8 Passengers
The family first rose to fame when the leader of the clan, mother, and wife Ruby Franke, along with husband, Kevin Franke, began a YouTube channel in 2015, vlogging the family of eight’s everyday activities and lifestyle in an effort to make their lifestyle seem more approachable and relatable to the rest of the world. The kids, starting with Shari, 17, Chad, 15, Abby, 13, Julie, 11, Russell, 8, and Eve, 6, all appear on the YouTube channel.
With more than 2 million followers on YouTube and hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and TikTok, the family has often made the intimate details of their lives open to the public. It wasn’t until recently that this very practice started feeling a little too close for comfort.
