Marlou Arizala Net Worth $100,000
Growing up, Marlou was very active in his local church and would join their church’s choir. He was from a very poor family, and had to sell cigarettes to get tuition for school, and simply for him to get an allowance, but he soon dropped out of school to become the family breadwinner. Soon he would meet Vincent Binocas, who would join him to become a member of “HashT5”.
The group started as a parody of boy bands, and they would find popularity through making viral videos which were released through social media pages, and sites such as musical.ly. “HashT5” started in 2015, and it means “Have A Successful Honor and Talent”, and five pertains to the numbers in the group, including Cee Jhay Elero, Jhimwell Macanlalay, Erick Ebreo, as well as Marlou and Binocas. Since the rise of their popularity, their Facebook page has garnered over 200,000 likes, and their videos have been viewed well over a million times, both of which have helped to increase Marlou’s net worth. They started being featured as guests on various television shows too, such as “ASAP”, “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal”, “Luv U”, and “Rated K”. The group have also appeared in television series such as “Dolce Amore” and “Home Sweetie Home”, and made a cameo appearance in the film “Mang Kepwang Returns”.
However, the group would draw the attention of negative comments from many netizens due to their status of being “rugby boys” which means they looked like boys on the street who use rugby to get high. Arizala was the most targeted among the group, with numerous memes created using his photos. He was also called “one pants man” for always seeming to be wearing the same pair of pants. He eventually left the group in 2016 to pursue a solo career, and concurrently being very adamant about changing his looks, he became a brand ambassador for the skin clinic Flawless.
This led him to decide to undergo surgery for cosmetic enhancement, said to be quite dangerous with the clinic already falling behind due to a prior failed surgery attempt. Yet Arizala’s surgery proved successful and he soon returned to show business under the name “Xander Ford”. His drastic physical transformation led him to be featured on television again, including a special segment on “Rated K”. He has renamed all of his social media accounts and has been declaring that Arizala is dead, and in his place is Xander Ford. He continue to increase his net worth.
For his personal life, it is known that Marlou still lives with his father and sister, and there aren’t even any rumours of romantic relationships, yet!
