The riches of Alex Wassabi
As of mid-2020, Alex Wassabi’s net worth is estimated at over $2 million, earned largely from a successful YouTube career. His fame online has led to many opportunities including sponsorships, partnerships, and more.
He earns a lot from YouTube’s ad revenue program, which has benefited many other popular YouTubers.
Youth and online beginnings
While Alex was born in Montana, his family later moved to Durham, North Carolina where they settled. He studied there, attending college which led him to meet and befriend the future collaborator, King Fabito. The two lived in the same neighborhood and attended the same high school, becoming close friends. It was during this period that the two became interested in making comedy videos.
They wanted to do skits and parodies that they could perform with family and friends.
Since it was difficult to reproduce the video, they opted to post it online, and at the time, YouTube was just beginning to gain traction. After posting their first comedy video, they got a lot more attention than just family and friends. This encouraged and motivated them to continue making videos under the hoiistroi channel. Eventually, Alex wanted to change the channel’s name, first considering the name Wasabi, a word that stuck with him after watching “Jackass the Movie”. He used the name in the online game “Starcraft” many times, but when creating the channel, he had no idea that he had misspelled it as Wassabi for many years, and the name stuck.
Rise to Glory
Wassabi and his friend continued to make videos without much attention, although they had a steady following thanks to the popularity of their first video. They released videos as a hobby – dance videos, lip-syncing and other comedy endeavors. After graduating from high school, the duo decided to quit the channel as they needed to focus on their college studies, but returned after just 10 months of hiatus as they had a passion to continue their video work.
In 2012, their popularity surged and they quickly became one of the top comedy stars on YouTube at the time after releasing a parody of Carly Rae Jepsen’s song “Call Me Maybe”.
In this, Alex was dressed as a girl named Rolanda, inspired by an old Halloween costume he wore in middle school. The video went viral and garnered many subscribers, eventually over eight million, and the two became celebrities.
Separate
Alex and Roi’s popularity reached various places around the world and they were often invited to events in Los Angeles, Florida, etc. They have also traveled overseas and met fans at shows and other activities. They started posting videos on a consistent schedule every Wednesday and even created a fan base called The Wassabbians.
From North Carolina, the two friends then accepted an offer to movement and live in Los Angeles, California, where most of the opportunities for the entertainment industry are.
They lived in a house alongside Marlin, YellowPaco, and Kyle in what was said to be a haunted apartment. However, after a year together, Roi expressed a desire to live alone and moved out of the apartment, although the two continued to work on videos. However, that was the start of their split, as in 2016 Roi announced that he was leaving the channel to pursue other interests and passions. It came just when his YouTube gaming channel, Guava Juice, was getting a lot more attention.
He also had to frequent his home country of Guatemala due to certain family demands.
recent projects
After Roi left, Alex continued to manage Wassabi on his own, changing his name to Alex Wassabi to indicate that he was solely responsible for it. He has always maintained a constant crew including Matt Wassabi, Drew Wassabi and Rob Wassabi. After doing weekly comedy sketches and videos, he started uploading more to his channel, turning it over the years into a vlog channel, showcasing some of his recent endeavors.
He has also made comedic sequences, while posting trends within the YouTube community, such as challenge videos, etc. In recent months, his younger brother and other YouTubers have become more frequent guests, including fellow YouTuber Caeli – or CaELike – who he calls his best friend. He set himself a more consistent schedule, of three videos a week.
YouTube aside, Alex has become something of a star on Vine during the years of his popularity. However, after the service shut down, he returned to focus more on YouTube content. He has also been more active with his other social media accounts such as Instagram and Twitter, on which he connects with fans while promoting some advocacy.
In recent weeks, he has spoken out against injustice and racial inequality, following protests across the United States following the death of George Floyd, a black man who was in the custody of Minneapolis police.
Private life
Alex was previously in a relationship with YouTuber Lauren Riihimaki – they were together for three years before splitting in 2018. The following year he started dating CaELike or Caeli but, the two broke up after a short time , while remaining best friends. He has two younger brothers, both of whom frequently appear on his channel, and he also has a sister. Her siblings have also pursued careers online and in social media.
