Morgan Hudson, popularly known as Morgz on YouTube, is a content creator from England known for his pranks and challenges. As he rose to fame, he made multiple controversial actions, giving his audience a mixed opinion about him. Still, he has built a considerable amount of wealth from this reputation. As of 2023, Morgz has a net worth of $4 million.
Background
Hudson was born in Sheffield, England, on August 6, 2001. His biological parents are Jill and Darren. However, today, he also has a stepdad named Martin Green, also called Bald Martin, who sometimes appears in his videos.
He has no sibling, but Jenson Bell, nicknamed Jed Hudson and Mini Morgz, is treated by Morgan as his own brother. According to rumors, he is the son of Jill’s friend.
He was a good student who stood out among his peers as a child. But he dropped out of school at the age of 15 to focus on YouTube. In 2014, he launched his YouTube channel and uploaded his first video.
YouTube Career
His YouTube channel was originally called LegendaryGamerHD. He began by playing hit video games at the time, like FIFA, Minecraft, and Call of Duty. When he reached 1,000 subs, he changed the name of his channel to MorgzGaming, and then to its current alias Morgz.
In 2016, he published a new series of FIFA 17 videos, one of which received over 2 million views in just a few days. After achieving this milestone, his Pokemon GO content became a career highlight for him.
Morgan decided to change the appearance of his channel after achieving popularity. By creating pranks and other enjoyable activities, he modified the format of his videos. His channel has gained a total of 11.6 million views.
Controversies
He acquired notoriety for his 24-hour challenge videos, which appeared to be strikingly identical to those of MrBeast. Many have accused him of plagiarizing the videos of one of the biggest YouTubers on multiple occasions.
Thanks to a tweet from Chandler Hallow, a close buddy of Jimmy, who provided a screenshot matching Morgan’s videos to Jimmy’s, MrBeast was informed of Morgan stealing ideas.
Morgan has also been called out by many YouTubers for his misleading titles and tactics for gaining subscribers. Some of his uploads are very different from his initial kid-friendly content. One of his alleged clickbait videos had a title implying that his mom was a sexual predator.
Income Sources
Even with all the issues, Morgan is still a wealthy person. The advertising that runs on his videos earn him an estimated revenue of $600,000 per year.
He also has sponsorship ties with companies such as Spotify, G2A, GT Omega Racing, and more. He supplements his income by selling merch on his website.
Personal Life
He dated fellow social media personality, Kiera Bridget, from 2018 until 2019. They remain close friends after ending their relationship. He is currently in a relationship with Instagram model Tamzin Taber.
Morgan Hudson presently lives with his family, dog, and Mini Morgz in Dronfield, United Kingdom. His $600,00 Lamborghini Aventador is also there.
