Early life and education
PewDiePie was born in Sweden on October 24, 1989. He was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, to Lotta Kristine Johanna Kjellberg (mother) and Ulf Kjellberg (father) and grew up with his older sister Fanny Kjellberg. He has an older sister named Fanny Kjellberg.
PewDiePie developed an interest in art while in school and drew popular video game characters such as Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog. He developed an interest in playing video games as a child, skipping school to play instead.
He studied industrial economics and technology management at Chalmers University of Technology after leaving Goteborgs Hogre Samskola. He dropped out at this time to become a YouTube celebrity.
PewDiePie’s parents refused to give him any money because they weren’t entirely happy with the choice. He then started working at a hot dog stand to pay for his videos. His original channel name was reportedly “Pwedie”, but he forgot the password and changed it to “PewDiePie”.
Career
If we told you that this guy actually dropped out of college to become a YouTube sensation, you wouldn’t believe us. PewDiePie started a YouTube channel after dropping out of college. On April 29, 2010, he launched his PewDiePie YouTube channel with a Minecraft gameplay video that featured a zombie hatching in the game.
PewDiePie began uploading playtests of Call of Duty: Black Ops, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Dead Space 2 a few months after posting this video. He was initially known for his love of horror and action video games.
2011 saw his fan base grow. For those who watched his videos, he started a dedicated blog Fuck Yeah PewDiePie in October 2011.
His YouTube account has had over 1,400 videos uploaded in just eight months. Forty games and 40 fan-submitted Amnesia storylines have been played in those films. Felix deserves the title of “Social Media Giant.”
We just discussed his YouTube channel, but PewDiePie is king elsewhere too! He has over 7 million fans on Facebook, 8 million followers on Twitter, and 10 million followers on Instagram (and we’re still counting)!
The characters in his videos are quite interesting. When watching his videos, you will notice that our attention often shifts to the commentary and feedback he gives while playing video games.
As a result, PewDiePie’s videos are included in the Let’s Play category, a collection of screenshot videos showing a video game being played. This often includes commentary from the player as well.
Take a look at his subscriber graph. It’s funny, we promise. His channel had around 60,000 subscribers in December 2011 after he started in 2010. He was invited to speak at the Nonick Conference in 2012 when he hit 700,000 subscribers.
PewDiePie reached 1 million subscribers in July of that year and took just two months to reach 2 million. It was no surprise that the “PewDiePie” channel was recognized by OpenSlate as the top YouTube channel in October 2012.
Personal life
PewDiePie then made headlines for dating Marzia Kjellberg, a vlogger who blogs about fashion, food, and travel. They have been dating since 2011.
They are currently living together and occasionally vlog together. She posted a photo of the couple on Twitter to clarify the situation after recent rumors of their breakup surfaced in the media.
In 2019, news spread across the internet that PewDiePie had married Marzia Kjellberg.
Net worth
A quick internet search shows that PewDiePie made between $9 and $16 million a year overnight, becoming the most famous YouTuber on the planet.
PewDiePie has amassed an estimated net worth of $40 million.
