Presence on Instagram

Rhett LeRoy posted his oldest photo on Instagram, taken with several members of his family during a skiing expedition, on January 6, 2019. On April 14, 2019, he posted a picture of himself, and wrote this popular line in the caption, “Be who you are and say how you feel cause those that mind don’t matter and those that matter don’t mind.” However, he made a very common mistake and attributed it to children’s author Dr. Seuss, when it was originally said by either Sir Mark Young, then governor of Hong Kong, or Bernard Baruch, a prominent American financier.

Trivia

His enthusiasm towards sports has earned him the moniker “Rhett the Jet”.

Rhett and his family are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

He is a close friend of Shae Bennett, who is part of the family vlogging channel known as The Ohana Adventure.
