PewDiePie Net Worth: YouTuber Makes 10 BILLION Views, How Much Is Vlogger Worth After Bella Thorne’s Teen Choice Awards Diss?

At 25 years of age, vlogger Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, best known for his YouTube username PewDiePie, is one of the most recognizable stars on the video-sharing website, and PewDiePie's net worth shows just how much success he's gotten since he made it big on the website.

Starting his weekly vlog in 2011, PewDiePie's net worth has grown since he first started on YouTube, as he's one of the most recognizable people online, having gained massive following over the course of the years thanks to his videos on gaming, as he'll do walkthroughs of videogames in a very particular manner, as if speaking to his "bros," which is how he calls fans.

Before PewDiePie's net worth ascended to the impressive sum it has today, in fact the Swedish-born star was suppose to get a degree in Industrial Economics and Technology Management, which he ultimately dropped out from to pursue a vlogging career, funding his passion by working on a hot dog stand.

As he became more successful and PewDiePie's net worth started to really grow, Kjellberg began appearing on a series of marketing campaigns including one for Legendary Pictures' film "As Above, So Below" as well as Maker Studios and even popular "geek culture" soda drink Mountain Dew.

Now, PewDiePie's net worth has just become the subject of headlines after the 25 year-old YouTuber hit a new major landmark: after having the most-subscribed channel on the website and later the most-viewed channel on YouTube (surpassing pop star Rihanna), IGN reports Kjellberg's channel is now officially the first personality on the site to have reached 10 billion views.

Absolutely incredible!

Earlier this summer, the Swedish videogame commentator was in the middle of some controversy when actress Bella Thorne was unable to pronounce his name after he won an award at the Teen Choice Awards, getting a lot of hate afterwards, as Hollywood Life reports - but she later apologized and it's all good!

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists PewDiePie's net worth as $12 million.
