About PewDiePie: biography, career and business
Researched profile of PewDiePie — background, breakthrough, content style and money, written and reviewed by the CreatorFanBase team.
Felix Kjellberg, born in 1989 in Gothenburg, Sweden, dropped out of an industrial-economics degree to make gaming videos, funding early uploads with odd jobs.
Loud, reaction-heavy Let's Play videos made him the most subscribed channel on YouTube from 2013 until T-Series overtook him in 2019 — still the record for an individual creator for years.
His output has shifted from horror Let's Plays to slower vlogs, book reviews, chess, painting and Japanese-language study, aimed at an audience that grew up with him.
Kjellberg has run merchandise lines, co-created the mobile game PewDiePie's Tuber Simulator, and largely stepped back from brand deals in favour of a slower upload schedule.
Third-party estimates put his net worth in the tens of millions of dollars, built on a decade of ad revenue, merchandise and sponsorships.
