Elliot Tebele

Elliot was raised in Gravesend, Brooklyn. He attended Manhattan’s York Preparatory School and then enrolled at Hunter College in New York City. In the early 2010s, Tebele began posting to social media under the account handle “Fuckjerry”, which quickly gained millions of followers. Today, this Instagram account has more than 16 million followers. This success led Tebele to establish his first enterprise, FJerryLLC.

To date, the FJerryLLC network totals nearly 40 million followers and includes well-known users such as @BeigeCardigan, @DudeWithSign and @JerryNews. Because of the enterprise’s advertising and brand impact, it received the 2019 Shorty Industry Award for Best Use of Native Advertising and was selected as New York Post’s “Instagram’s Funniest Feed” in 2014.

All of this success afforded Tebele the opportunity to be featured in media publications like Business Insider, ABC, Coveteur, New York Post, Maxim and more. Under the Fuckjerry enterprise, Tebele has also worked with major corporations such as Amazon, Anheuser Busch, BMW, Disney, Facebook and Instagram, Netflix, Warner Brothers, Procter & Gamble, Sprint and more.

In addition to creating FJerryLLC, Tebele co-founded the massively popular brands What Do You Meme? and JAJA Spirits LLC (more commonly known as JAJA Tequila). Both companies launched with the intention of bringing friends together and inspiring laughter.

When Tebele isn’t working, he can be found spending time with his family, playing sports, curating his sneaker and art collections and searching for new ways to support his local community.
