What Happened to Bad Luck Brian?
Kyle Craven, known online as Bad Luck Brian, became one of the internet's earliest meme icons after his deliberately awkward high school yearbook photo went viral in 2012. The photo featured him with braces, an exaggerated grin, and a thrift store vest—a prank intended to create the "ugliest" yearbook picture. Initially unnoticed, the image was posted on Reddit by a friend with the caption "Takes driving test… gets first DUI," quickly becoming a staple meme for unfortunate scenarios. Embracing his unexpected fame, Kyle engaged with fans, attended conventions, appeared in ad campaigns for brands like McDonald's and Volkswagen, and monetized his image through merchandise and licensing. In 2021, he sold a Bad Luck Brian NFT for approximately $36,000. Despite his internet stardom, Kyle leads a balanced life as the COO of his family's construction company, living with his wife and two children, proving that sometimes "bad luck" can lead to extraordinary opportunities.
