PewDiePie responds to critics who judge him for being rich PewDiePie, YouTubeYouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg is one of the site\u2019s most successful entertainers, becoming its most-subscribed independent creator with a projected net worth in the millions \u2014 a fact he claims he\u2019s widely judged for. Kjellberg opened up on the topic during a video on April 21, where he reacted to Jubilee\u2019s \u201cDo All Millionaires Think the Same?\u201d social experiment, which presented a small group of millionaires with a series of hard-hitting questions about their wealth. One of the questions given to the millionaires asked them if they\u2019d ever been judged for their money \u2014 something PewDiePie could sympathize with. According to the YouTube star, he feels \u201csad\u201d for people who judge others for their wealth, and believes that cash isn\u2019t the key to true happiness, in the slightest. \u201cIt just makes me sad for other people\u2026 people look at me and they\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, he doesn\u2019t have any problems because he has money,\u2019\u201d he began. \u201cSo many people share the idea that money solves all your problems. \u2026I just feel bad for people who have that mindset, because I know for a fact it isn\u2019t true.\u201d Kjellberg went on to explain that, while money has significantly improved his life, he was just as happy before his rise to YouTube fame, citing his struggle starting out with now-wife Marzia. \u201cSometimes, I look back on the times when I was just starting out with YouTube, and I was just making enough to pay my rent each month,\u201d he continued. \u201cThat\u2019s the kind of time I look back as the most happiest, when me and Marzia were in Sweden. We didn\u2019t have a lot of money. It wasn\u2019t easy, but we were equally happy then.\u201d (Topic begins at 13:33 for mobile readers) While PewDiePie has addressed confusing reports regarding his supposed net worth in the past, the Swede has gone on record stating that it \u201cdoesn\u2019t matter\u201d to him in spite of rampant speculation. Even after being robbed late last year, to PewDiePie, material wealth isn\u2019t all that important \u2014 claiming that it\u2019s real happiness that counts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
