PewDiePie responds to \u201cconfusing\u201d reports about his net worth YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2018 Kjellberg responded to media reports this week about his insane net worth, disputing them as \u201cconfusing\u201d and \u201covervaluing\u201d him. PewDiePie is having one hell of a year, reaching 102 million subscribers on his YouTube account, and launching his wildly successful Minecraft series in June which propelled him to the most watched channel on the platform. During a Q&A on December 29, the Swede was asked about his net worth, which he said was bigger then Forbes\u2019 $13 million valuation. However, the popular entertainer was left \u201cconfused\u201d by financial reports this week by media outlets like The Sun, and is disputing them. PewDiePie disputes \u201cconfusing\u201d reports In his August 28 update vlog, Pewds admitted that his Minecraft series had given him \u201cepic\u201d ad revenue this year, and said, \u201cI feel like I\u2019m finally earning what people think I\u2019m making out of YouTube videos.\u201d However, a recent a report by British news outlet The Sun that cited a study from OnBuy claimed the YouTuber made an astonishing \u00a354 million in 2019 \u2013 something which the Swede disputed in his January 5th upload of PewNews. \u201cBut then The Sun was like, \u201cOkay, alright then, we overvalue you \u00a354 million!\u201d,\u201d he said. \u201cIn 2019 apparently I made \u00a354 million, guys. It\u2019s just so crazy. I get that people want to know the exact number, so they are just going to make up a bunch of stuff.\u201d The YouTube star then criticized the British outlet\u2019s graph on his wealth. \u201cThis makes no sense. It says January I made \u00a35.8 million, but it says in December I made \u00a32.9. It should be the opposite because December is at least three or four times January!\u201d he explained. \u201cI\u2019m so confused!\u201d Pewds exclaimed. He then hit out at the report since it cited a study by OnBuy that links to nothing. \u201cThis is based on a study. This research was carried out by online marketplace OnBuy. What is that?! They just link to the website. I try to find the study, I can not find it!\u201d Felix then ended the segment thanking The Sun for at least not \u201cundervaluing\u201d him, although he clearly disputes the reports, saying they make no sense. (Timestamp 03:47 for mobile users.) PewDiePie has argued in the past that the media started to undervalue him on financial lists after several of his controversies. But now it seems they are now over-reporting what he made in 2019, according to the Swede.
