Vikram Singh Barn (Vikkstar123) is a YouTuber and streamer with an estimated net worth of £8 million. As he focuses mainly on video game content, Vik has made a name for himself in the Minecraft community. He also lives with a group of internet personalities known as the Sidemen.
Early Life
On August 2, 1995, Vik was born to a family of Indian descent. He is the youngest of the three siblings in the family. His birthplace is Guildford, England, but he spent a lot of time in Sheffield.
From 2006 through 2013, young Vik attended Silverdale School in Sheffield, where he was considered as a model student. This happened even when he had a rough time adapting to the city’s culture.
While finishing his A-levels, he was offered a Natural Science scholarship at University College London. However, he chose to turn down the offer and initiate a career in content creation instead.
Career
Vik kickstarted his YouTube endeavor by launching his own channel on April 12, 2010. He began by filming himself playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But it wasn’t until he uploaded Minecraft videos that he gained some real engagement. He then started to diversify his games.
When he joined the Sidemen in 2013, his number of followers skyrocketed. He gained even more recognition when his diss track, ‘The End- Sidemen Diss Track Reply,’ was released. He also became associated with the Dream SMP and The Pack.
For the past four years, Vik has been known for posting daily gaming videos. That’s why it’s no surprise that the Vikkstar123 channel has amassed a total of 7.48 million subscribers today.
