Influencer Ben Bader Dies at Age 25

Influencer Ben Bader died on Oct. 23, his girlfriend Reem shared in a TikTok post. He was 25.

“Ben was the kindest, most caring, most generous person I have ever met in my entire life,” shared Reem in her emotional tribute, uploaded on Oct. 26. “He genuinely loved every single person that he met and he was so positive all the time.”

Bader was known on Instagram, TikTok and X — across which he had a combined following of over 200,000 people — for sharing lifestyle content and financial advice. The creator also ran a financial coaching course and maintained an email newsletter to share financial tips.

In her post, Reem shared that Bader’s cause of death is “still unknown.”

“No one really knows and it seemed to have been extremely sudden,” she continued. “There were really no signs of this happening — we were supposed to get dinner that night and he seemed so normal. I had just talked to him on FaceTime a couple hours before he passed and he was so happy and so normal and he was just smiling and being so funny.”

Bader seemingly shared his final video on Instagram and TikTok on Oct. 23, the day he died.

In a post to her Instagram Stories shortly after Bader’s death, Reem wrote, “I kept waiting for them to say he’s awake. I kept waiting for this to be a bad dream. My worst fear came to life. I got the worst phone call of my life.”

Bader marked his 25th birthday on Sept. 22, sharing a carousel of photos on Instagram out to dinner with several friends to celebrate the day.

Across social media, friends remembered the late internet personality and shared their condolences with Bader’s family.

“Thankful for every webinar, hoop sesh, Miami lunch, info jam sesh and Brickell key walk,” wrote Miles, a financial influencer known on Instagram as “flip4miles,” posting a photo with Bader to the platform.

“Rest easy, Ben,” wrote creator Trina Nuance on Instagram, who said she first met Bader on X. You were such a talented writer. The world’s lucky to have your mind & soul immortalized across platforms. I’ll never forget our heart to heart.”

“You’re the best friend anyone could’ve ever asked for and I will forever thank God that I was lucky enough to be one of them,” wrote Bader’s friend Jimmy Farley on Instagram. “The boys and I will be honoring your name and looking out for the fam until the day we join you too my brother.”
