YOUTUBE STAR HITS BIG TIME

-

IF SITTING around playing Fifa is your favourite thing to do, it turns out you might not be wasting your time after all.

Take KSI for example, a 21-year- old who has turned himself into a millionair­e.

His YouTube clips of himself playing Fifa have amassed more than a billion views and more than 10 million subscriber­s, making it the second most-viewed channel in the UK.

The Lamborghin­i-driving Brit brags about having a jacuzzi airlifted into his penthouse in a new doco. But how did he do it?

“It all started in my bedroom,” he told Vice in the documentar­y. “I started getting bigger and bigger.”

KSI puts his success down to his personalit­y. “A lot of people think to be at the top you have to be the best at a certain game – no you don’t,” he said. “It’s more about personalit­y. I’m now a brand.”
