In an interview with Club Shay Shay, iShowSpeed revealed he became a millionaire at the age of 16. His first big purchase was a house for his mother. In the following years, his net worth has only grown, though estimates for the exact rate of growth vary widely. Despite the sheer variety of numbers that are out there, iShowSpeed himself has hinted that his net worth is significantly greater than $10 million and added that he doesn’t have to worry about money these days.

There are a number of ways for content creators to make money across streaming and video platforms, and iShowSpeed has taken full advantage of those means. Earning a living streaming requires a large audience. On his main YouTube channel alone, iShowSpeed has over 44 million followers and a staggering 5.7 billion views.

This great reach has much to do with him make money through opportunities including:

• YouTube AdSense
• Channel memberships
• Tips and donations from viewers
• Brand deals with PRIME Hydration and Dick’s Sporting Goods
• Royalties from his song “World Cup”

iShowSpeed doesn’t limit his spending to just treating his parents or investing into his video content, though. Fans have seen the creator share gaudy purchases including fast cars, expensive NFTs, luxury watches, and even an AI robot he showed on Omegle. iShowSpeed is clearly not afraid to drop $50,000 on a goof, which further speaks to just how high his net worth is.
