Felix Kjellberg Wiki Biography
Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg was born on 24 October 1989, in Gothenburg, Sweden, and is a comedian and YouTube personality, known for being one of the most popular and subscribed channels on YouTube under the name PewDiePie, on which he does commentaries and vlogs. He’s been active in the industry since 2010, and all of his efforts have helped put his net worth to where it is today.
How rich is Felix Kjellberg? As of early-2018, sources inform us of a net worth that is at $20 million, mostly earned through his success on YouTube. He’s collaborated with numerous other companies and also does charity work. As he continues his career, it is expected that his wealth will also continue to increase.
At a young age Felix was interested in art and video games. He attended Goteborgs Hogre Samskola and matriculated in 2008, then studied at the Chalmers University of Technology for a degree in industrial economics and technology management. However, he left the university in 2011, realizing that he did not want to pursue a career in that field, and then began making his own gaming videos on YouTube, while selling hotdogs to make ends meet. He also consistently joined Photoshop contests to earn money, and after missing an opportunity to earn an apprenticeship in an advertising agency, he then went on to invest more in his YouTube videos.
Kjellberg initially began his career playing various video games, focusing more on horror and action videos; he played “Amnesia: The Dark Descent”, and his popularity started to grow significantly. He also started to produce vlogs, and soon more opportunities would open for him to increase his net worth. As his channel grew, he started to expand his content, uploading live-action and animated comedy shorts. He also started to play games that were out of his usual genre, and to support indie developers. He initially worked on his channel by himself but eventually began collaboratinge with other YouTube content creators.
Felix’s content has been described as genuine as well as obnoxious, and so se’s received mixed reviews from media outlets, and has been a part of numerous controversies over the course of his online career. Regardless, in 2013 he became the channel with the most subscribers on YouTube, surpassing Smosh, the first channel to reach 15 million subscribers, when in just a year his subscribership grew from 3.5 million to 19 million subscribers. He consistently uploaded videos, and then began streaming games by himself, as well as with Kenneth Morrison or CinnamonToastKen, and collaborated with YouTube’s paid subscription service for the show “Scare PewDiePie”. He eventually reached the 50 million subscriber mark, and his channel continues to grow, and so has his net worth.
He’s known to create a strong influence on his viewers, and so to elevate the popularity of many games he’s played on his channel. He’s also released his own video games entitled “PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist”, and “PewDiePie’s Tuber Simulator”, and a book entitled “This Book Loves You” which is a parody of self-help books, so adding further to his net worth.
For his personal life, it is known that Kjellberg is in a relationship with YouTube personality Marzia Bisognin; initially he moved to Italy to live with her, and the couple also stayed in Sweden before eventually settling in Brighton, Sussex, England. He’s also done a lot of charity work, donating to Charity: Water and raising money for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He also helped raise money for RED, which is committed to eliminating HIV/AIDS in Africa.
