There are plenty of YouTubers who are famous for creating video game vlogs, reviews, walkthroughs, and playthroughs, but PewDiePie is probably one of the more famous ones around. In fact it seems that PewDiePie, also known as Felix Kjellberg in real life, is so famous to the point where he has made a whopping $7.45 million in profit back in 2014 from his videos.
This is according to a report from Swedish tabloid Expressen who claims that the YouTuber made that amount in the year of 2014. Is this surprising? We suppose in some ways it isn’t, especially when you consider that back in 2013, he made around $4 million, so we suppose to see an increase in his income makes sense the more famous he gets.
Of course all of this money is due to his hard work. As it stands, PewDiePie has over 37 million subscribers and has uploaded a staggering 2,300 videos to date. Of course not all of it is about gaming as there are other non-related gaming videos on his channel, which presumably expands his appeal to those who might not be interested in watching playthroughs or reviews.
He is also set to become a published author with a book called “This Book Loves You” which is pegged for a release in October 2015.
