Early Life
Charles Lincoln "Link" Neal III was born in Boone Trail, North Carolina, to Charles Lincoln Neal II and Sue Capps on June 1, 1978. When he was two years old, his parents divorced. Sue married her high school sweetheart, Jimmy Capps, and they moved to Buies Creek, North Carolina.
He met Rhett McLaughlin, his collaborator on the Rhett & Link YouTube channel, on September 4, 1984, on the first day of first grade at Buies Creek Elementary School in Buies Creek, North Carolina. The two boys got in trouble for writing swear words on their desks, and their first-grade teacher, Ms. Locklear, had them stay inside during recess as a punishment. Their punishment was to color in pictures of mythical creatures and beasts, including Paul Bunyan and unicorns. They bonded and became best friends.
Link once described his and Rhett's friendship as something similar to fraternal twins who were separated at birth. Link went to the same elementary school, middle school, and high school, Harnett Central High School, as Rhett.
When Rhett and Link were 14, they wrote a screenplay called "Gutless Wonders" and started making a film based on it. They only shot a couple of scenes and never finished the film. The screenplay was read years later during a number of episodes of "Good Mythical Morning." In high school, Rhett and Link shot a 25-minute parody of the story of Oedipus Rex. Rhett was Oedipus, and Link was his father's servant.
Also, in high school, the friends were members of a punk rock band called The Wax Paper Dogz. During high school, Link and Rhett made a blood pact, promising to do something "Big" and "Awesome" together in the future. They were both accepted into North Carolina State University, where they were roommates. Link graduated from NC State University with a degree in Industrial Engineering in 2000. After graduating from college, Link went to work for IBM for a while before quitting to pursue his YouTube channel with Rhett full-time.
Ultimately, Link Neal's financial journey is a testament to their success.
