A 14-time winner of the internet's Streamy Awards, he has branched out into smartphone apps, video game tournaments, restaurants and his own food range, earning an estimated $500 million in the process.
In 2023, he claimed that he was one of those who was invited on the doomed Titan submersible journey.
'I was invited earlier this month to ride the titanic submarine, I said no,' he wrote on X. 'Kind of scary that I could have been on it.'
The Popular YouTuber has also earned reportedly more than $260,000 in revenue thanks to his first X (formerly Twitter) video he posted on January 15.
The YouTube star, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, confirmed he had made $263,655 in revenue one week after posting his first full X video on January 15.
