'Looksmaxxing' influencer Clavicular charged with rape: Who is Braden Peters and what is his net worth?

Braden Peters, the American social media personality popularly known as Clavicular, has been charged with rape in Massachusetts, according to court records. The charges against the 20-year-old influencer are one count of rape, one count of drugging someone for sexual intercourse, and one count of procuring liquor for someone under the age of 21. The alleged offenses occurred in May last year and the charges were filed earlier this month.

Peters, who is associated with the controversial "looksmaxxing" trend, has built a substantial following on streaming platforms such as Kick. For the unversed, the looksmaxxing trend centers around measures to maximize one's physical attractiveness.

Peters' livestreams often include discussions around facial symmetry, attractiveness ratings, and self-improvement techniques framed in language that is not always backed by science. In fact, he has been accused of promoting unrealistic beauty standards and unsafe behaviour. He has popularized “bone smashing” – a dangerous online trend where people repeatedly strike their bones with hammers or other heavy objects to change their skeletal appearance.

Clavicular's net worth

Peters' exact net worth remains undisclosed, but there are some estimates based on platform incentives and viewer donations. By early 2026, Peters was earning more than $100,000 per month from livestreaming alone, according to the website Celebrity Net Worth.

The influencer’s net worth is estimated to be around $300,000, according to the Parade magazine, though some speculate that it could be higher. Peters says that much of his earnings are reinvested into content production, including travel arrangements and security.

Controversies surrounding Clavicular

Peters' rise as an influencer has been marred by a number of major controversies, including allegations of assault. In April, he was sued by a teenage influencer who accused him of battery. Peters' attorney had said at the time that he denied the allegations and intended to "vigorously defend himself", according to NBC South Florida.

The same month, Peters was hospitalized in Miami after a suspected overdose. In a livestream after being released from the hospital, he had said: "I ain’t gonna be doing any more substances for a little while, hopefully for forever."
