Kwebbelkop is a content creator famous on YouTube for his vlogs and gaming videos. He’s one of the biggest online personalities in the Netherlands and also develops games through his company, Webble Games. Today, Kwebbelkop has a net worth of $20 million.
Early Life
Real name Jordi van den Bussche, the curly-haired gamer was born on June 1, 1995 to Ben and Brigittela in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He was raised with a sister named Lauren.
His parents got divorced when he was two years old and he lived with his mother. At age 10, Jordi discovered he had dyslexia and struggled at school. His childhood wasn’t easy, and it didn’t help that his mom and stepfather were alcoholics. Despite this, the Dutch native finished school in 2011.
YouTube Career
Jordi started his YouTube channel in 2008, mainly to watch videos. After graduating, he shared his first video, playing Call of Duty. However, he stopped uploading videos for a spell because his computer broke.
In 2012, he began making daily videos about games such as Minecraft, GTA 5, Assassin’s Creed, Happy Wheels, and Skyrim. Eventually, he worked with rising YouTubers Jelly and Slogo to form the group Robust.
The trio grew in popularity together for their vlogs, challenges, and gameplay. However, Kwebbelkop left the team in 2019 because of mental health concerns. As a solo creator, Kwebbelkop now has 15.3 million subscribers on the platform.
Sadly since April 2021, views has dropped by 90%. Some of this is due to the decline in the popularity of games such as Fortnite. In recent times, he’s experimented with AI to create videos which fans don’t like.
Other Ventures
In 2018, Jordi released an indie game called Impossible Runner, which earned decent success. When he ventured out on his own, Jordi set up a game development company called Webble Games.
They released Havocado in 2019, a multiplayer fighting game. The following year, he became the owner of a YouTube channel called Tiger. He frequently appeared in the videos, but the main host was another guy named Hassan.
Jordi left Tiger in 2021 and refocused his efforts on his primary channel. He also invested in the mobile phone accessory Backbone and co-founded an NFT launchpad called LaunchMyNFT. His latest project is Hellskate, a new roguelite skateboarding game inspired by Tony Hawks’ video game series.
Net Worth and Earnings
On average, Kwebbelkop’s YouTube channel pulls in around 5 million views every month. Assuming a CPM rate of $4, this means Jordi would make around $20,000 per month in ad revenue alone. At the height of the channel’s popularity, he would have easily been making triple that figure.
As a popular content creator, he mainly earns income with YouTube ads, brand deals and affiliate marketing. The 28 year-old launched an online merch store on TeeSpring, selling branded clothing. Currently, he’s the founder and CEO of JVDB Studios, an AI tool for content creators. This is why the Dutchman is worth $20 million.
Personal Life
Previously, Kwebbelkop dated a girl named Jamie, but they split up in 2016. After this, he got into a relationship with fellow YouTuber Azzyland, but it ended in 2020. Today, he is single and living his best life in a GTA 5-inspired penthouse in Amsterdam. Kwebbelkop purchased the property for $7.5 million in early 2022. How, he drives around in a Mercedes G Wagen.
