TikTok star NoahGlennCarter addresses $200K GoFundMe controversy after parents’ wealth revealed
TikTok star Noah Glenn Carter is facing backlash after revealing his parents’ extravagant new home nearly two years after starting a GoFundMe when the property was destroyed in a fire.
In November 2023, Carter shocked his audience onTikTokwhen he uploaded a series of posts showing his childhood homegoing up in a fiery blaze, which he’d narrowly escaped by climbing out of a window.
The house burned to the ground, leaving the influencer distraught and searching for ways to help his folks rebuild after the incident, which destroyed many of his important personal documents and even his driver’s license.
Carter started aGoFundMeto raise funds and help him and his parents “move forward” from the devastating accident… but the page came under scrutiny after his family’s financial status was revealed.

Viewers quickly found a house tour Carter had uploaded to TikTok in August 2020, showing off his parents’ spacious, castle-themed manor. The mansion boasted a library, a post office, a room specifically for Christmas decorations year-round, a massive game room, a huge pool, and even a guest house.
Instantly, netizens came for Carter’s throat, accusing the TikToker of extorting money from his fans when his family appeared to be quite wealthy and even claiming he’d ‘faked’ the incident for views.
Carterhit back at the negative comments, saying he “would not wish [this] on anyone, even the people saying despicable things about me and my family right now.”
The GFM had raised over $20K before Carter called off the fundraiser… and nearly two years later, he explained where the money went in a series of March 2025 videos showing off his folks’ new home.

“After starting the GoFundMe, I realized my parents didn’t actually need the help,” he explained, referring to previous videos he’d made encouraging those who’d donated to seek a refund if they wanted their money back.
As for the rest of the cash, GoFundMe put it in theirEssentials Fund, a general public charity that provides basic necessities for people in need.
“Honestly, if I could go back and tell myself to be sure not to have a GoFundMe on the day of the fire, I would definitely do that, as me and my family ended up completely okay,” he said.
“But at the time of the fire, everything was uncertain. I had no idea what was going on. Really, I wanted to use my platform to help my family in a very, very tough situation.”
Despite his explanation, commenters are still upset with the TikToker, with many accusing him of “scamming” donors out of their money.
“So, you ran a scam,” the top comment reads.
“Just do a full refund, bro,” another said.
“Do refunds! Not everyone supports the same causes,” another suggested.
Carter’s latest house tour of his parents’ new and improved abode is facing similar comments, with one viewer writing: “This dude really asked for money knowing damn well his parents were millionaires, smh.”
The home boasts a huge patio Carter affectionately named the ‘Community Center,’ fingerprint-activated locks on the doors, and a massive entryway similar to the old home’s ‘Great Hall’ that has once again been decorated with a medieval theme.
The 2023 fire took nine hours to clear, according to a post made by the local Volunteer Fire Department. Tallassee Fire Chief Eric Jonesdeclared the home a “total loss”due to the damage.
