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.”
