The Beginning of Happy Dad
Kyle Forgeard and Stephen Deleonardis from the Nelk Boys, along with brothers Sam and John Shahidi, started Happy Dad in March 2021 in Orange County, California.
The group’s major goal was to make a hard seltzer that was different from other ones on the market by having lower carbonation and more pleasurable flavours.

Happy Dad has grown a lot since it first came out. It quickly became the most popular hard seltzer brand on Instagram, with more than a million followers.
Happy Dad was sold in 16 states in the U.S. by the end of 2023, and the company planned to grow into other markets [MoneyMade]. The brand is known for its unconventional marketing methods, such as using the social media accounts of its founders to promote itself.
Success in business and net worth

Their money comes from a variety of sources, including their hard seltzer brand, merchandise, endorsements, and the very profitable Full Send brand [TUKO]. This number shows how good their branding and marketing are, which shows how smart the people involved are with money.

Based on its market presence and growth trajectory, estimations say that Happy Dad may make more than $70 million in sales each year.
One of the main reasons for this success is that the founders have been able to keep their audience interested across a variety of platforms, which has led to both sales and brand loyalty.
