Popular YouTuber iShowSpeed has opened up about his impressive net worth on a recent podcast appearance.
The 19-year-old streamer gathered a large online following after he begun streaming his gaming exploits on Twitch four years ago.

More recently, the teenager from Cincinnati, Ohio, has pivoted to football-based YouTube videos, with the youngster a huge Cristiano Ronaldo fan. Last year, he had a portrait of Portuguese superstar tattooed on his arm.
t has released dozens of videos featuring famous athletes, including Ronaldo, and was even invited to the Ballon d'Or awards ceremonies in 2023 and 2024.
Something of a controversial figure, Sky Sports announced in 2022 that they would no longer feature Speed on their platforms after the emergence of past videos in which the young YouTuber displayed misogynistic views.
And at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Speed drew criticism for interactions with a Chinese fan, with his actions labelled racist.
But Speed remains a popular content creator, appearing alongside Logan Paul at WWE's WrestleMania earlier this year and competing in a 50m race against Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles for $100,000, a showdown refereed by fellow YouTube sensation Mr Beast.
When Speed appeared as a guest on the 360 With Speedy show – a podcast hosted by journalist Speedy Morman – conversation turned to the famous streamer's net worth.
Morman looked up Speed's purported net worth on Google. The search engine returned an answer of $10 million. The host asked Speed if that figure was accurate.
“If you put 100 million followers across all socials together, what do you get? So do the math on it. Pretty much, what I can say,” Speed said, suggesting that his net worth was, indeed, in the ballpark of that number.
Morman then asked Speed how it feels to be able to buy anything he wants.
“I don’t do that,” Speed said, but, “It’s a good feeling.”
Speed could have the opportunity double his impressive wealth soon, too.
After Jake Paul's victory over Mike Tyson this past Friday, the YouTuber-turned-boxer's manager has offered Speed $10 million to be the 11-1 celebrity fighter's next opponent.
