Model girlfriends, fast cars and a luxury pad
The very f lash millionaire lifestyle of the Lizard twins
MILLIONAIRE twins Ryan and Scott Fitzsimons are certainly living the dream.
The so-called ‘Lizard twins’ are dating beautiful models, have an array of supercars at their disposal, enjoy five-star vacations and live in upscale apartments in much sought-after post codes.
The pair fund their lifestyle by playing Minecraft all day from the comfort of their plush sofas.
The 25-year-old brothers, who are from Ashbourne, Co. Meath, earned nearly €1m each from their online video game clips last year.
A review of their company, Little Lizards Ltd, shows profits of €351,842 in 2015 after paying out €2m in salaries.
Directors’ remuneration formed the largest part of that €2m, at nearly €1.9m; the brothers, who are the only directors, received €950,000 each.
The revenue is created by advertising on the YouTube platform. With more than 2.87 million subscribers to their YouTube channel, the boys post videos of themselves playing Minecraft video games and doing voiceovers. Their most-watched video has more than 13 million views.
Friends say the twins are ‘just the nicest boys’, and are living the ultimate big boy dream with their newfound lifestyle.
Scott is dating model Jo Archbold, who split from 2fm DJ Eoghan McDermott last year. The pair have been jet-setting across the world together since their union and so far have travelled to Las Vegas, New York, the Arctic Circle and Ibiza.
Back home, Scott lives in a penthouse apartment in Dalkey, which boats stunning views across Dublin Bay and beyond. And no selfrespecting millennial millionaire would be complete without a fleet of prestige cars at their disposal. Scott drives a Ferrari 458 which he has wrapped in different colours – from black to red to yellow – to suit his mood or time of the year. He has also been spotted behind the wheel of a Mercedes McLaren and he recently took delivery of a BMW i8.
His twin brother, Ryan, is slightly more low-key but still enjoys life in the fast lane, with holidays and parties being the norm. He’s dat- ing model Avice Maughan who is signed to Morgan the Agency in Dublin. The pair have been spotted out and about together and have even holidayed in Florida and New York.
The Lizard twins are among a growing group of millennials making a fortune online. Irish YouTuber Jacksepticeye – Seán McLoughlin – has 14million subscribers and his Boss Entertainment firm reported a €1.15m profit in 2015.
