Some of his most popular videos are “Chevy Colorado Parody” which has attracted more then seven million views, and “Chevy Silverado Parody 2”, which has been viewed more than 17 million times, adding a considerable amount to his net worth and increasing enormously his popularity. He also caught the attention of the public with his “My Vlog Is Better Than Yours” video series, and he currently has more than 300,000 subscribers to his channel.
