PewDiePie: Facts Fans Need To Know

Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg famously known as PewDiePie; is a 26-year old Swedish native who is also a popular Youtuber with around 47 million subscribers and over 11 billion views on Youtube.

Whenever a person discovers PewDiePie for the first time on Youtube or in whatever part of the web, the first question that may have come to his mind is "Why PewDiePie?" and as to what Felix explained, PewDiePie doesn't really mean anything. "Pew" is just simply a sound of the laser as what he described and "Die" is just die. In 2006, Felix launched his first youtube channel and named it "PewDie".

Unfortunately, after 4 years with a total number of 440,000 subscribers, he forgot his login information which forced him to create a whole new youtube channel and rather than naming it "PewDie2" he added "Pie" instead because he really loves pie; making it "PewDiePie".

The famous youtuber had earned an estimated amount of $124 million since 2010 (ever since he started uploading more videos on his second created account) and as of 2016, PewDiePie's net worth is over $61 million.

Kjellberg started calling his fans "bro" and at the beginning of every video that he makes he does this "Bro-Fist" with them as a greeting. His fans called themselves "The Bro Army". Kjellberg and his "Bro Army" had also raised an amount of $630,000 for Save the Children, $446,512 for Charity: Water and tens of thousands for a lot more charities.

Two of the charities that he and his Bro Army have raised money for is the World Wildlife Fund and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The star had never really discussed further about his fund-raising projects to the media.

Back in 2013, PewDiePie had started to endlessly beg for Taylor Swift to notice and follow him on twitter, referring to her as "Senpai". She was able to finally notice him and followed him on twitter by 2015.

Felix met Marzia Bisognin (his current girlfriend), back in 2011 when Marzia (who is now a youtuber with the youtube channel CutiePieMarzia) set him a fan mail after seeing his videos. They are both currently living in Brighton, U.K together with their two pugs Edgar and Maya.

When Felix decided that college was not for him, his parents weren't very supportive of his decision. He supported himself by selling hotdogs during those days.
