How much is KSI net worth?

KSIOlajidebt, or just KSI, is this English Internet personality, musician and professional boxer. KSI net worth is around $35 million. He also does YouTube, talks about video games, makes people laugh, and raps.

And get this, from September 2022 to September 2023, he earned around $25 million. That’s a boatload of cash!

Check this out – he’s got three YouTube channels: “KSI,” “JJ Olatunji,” and “KSIClips.” People are loving his content – He’s got over 8.6 billion views! His main channel has a huge 24.1 million subscribers.

Oh, and he is the former member of the Sidemen group on YouTube. This group runs four channels: “Sidemen,” “MoreSidemen,” ” SidemenShorts,” and “SidemenReacts.” They are just rocking the internet.

KSIOlajidebt got his name from gaming community “KSI.” His real name is Olajide, and BT for British Telecom.

He’s into playing and commenting about FIFA games and also went head-to-head with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in FIFA, who plays for Arsenal and England.

As a rapper, KSI released a single track called “Lamborghini” in 2015, (featuring P Money). It went #7 on the UK R&B chart and #30 on the UK Singles Chart.

He’s released studio albums too, like “Dissimulation” in 2020 and “All Over the Place” in 2021. Also, he’s been featured on singles with BlacknWhite, Sway, and Yogi.

KSI also wrote a book named “KSI: I Am a Bellend” back in 2015. In the U.S., they called it “I Am a Tool: How to Be a YouTube Kingpin and Dominate the Internet.” That’s some great YouTuber wisdom right there!

Logan Paul and KSI seriously hate each other. They went one-on-one in a big boxing match on August 25, 2018, and they named it “the biggest internet event in history.”

The fight ended in a tie. They had a rematch at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on 9 November, 2019.

The first fight had a huge 2.25 million people watching live, with 1 million paying to see it and about 1.2 million watching illegally through Twitch streams. They earned a ton of cash – around $13 million came from people paying to watch.

It’s estimated that Logan and KSI earned about $2 million each in revenue after all the money was counted, including stuff like merchandise.

Both of them got at least guaranteed $900,000 for their second fight. They earned a big time – they likely made over $3 million each. The second fight was broadcasted by DAZN USA, making it a worthy fight.

KSI had another YouTube beef with Joe Weller before Logan. KSI defeated Joe Weller in the third round with a technical knockout. 1.6 million People watched it live on YouTube, and in just one day, 21 million views were on the board.

KSI and Logan Paul, in January 2022, joined hands and released a drink brand named Prime Hydration.

Fast forward a year, Paul revealed that the company made a staggering $250 million in retail sales around the world! And in January alone, $45 million of that cash earned. That’s awesome!

Early Life

KSIOlajidebt, whose full name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, on June 19, 1993.

His mother, Yinka, is from London, and his father, Jide, is from Nigeria. Deji is a youger brother of KSI, Deji is also a YouTuber.

In 2015, according to Tubular Labs, KSI was recognized as the #1 most influential YouTuber in the UK. Deji was ranked at #2.

KSI got admission in Berkhamsted School, where he met Simon Minter. Later on, Simon joined KSI as member of the Sidemen group.

In 2018, things got bad when Deji released a video showing KSI’s personal bank records. KSI wasn’t happy about it, and he showed his anger publicly at his family, saying,

“Don’t you f**king dare put my information out on blast like that. I keep that shit private. Mom, dad, I’m disappointed.”

Youtube Journey

In 2008, KSI started his first YouTube channel with the username “JideJunior.” Then, he made the “KSIOlajideBT” account in the month of July 2019.

When he started making steady revenue from his FIFA gaming videos with commentary, he decided to leave Sixth Form College. KSI started making vlog-style videos and playing all variety of games.

He hit a million subscribers in 2012. In 2013, he signed a contract with Polaris, which is like a sub-network of Maker Studios. He joined the Sidemen later that year, a British YouTube group that does sketches, challenges, and video game commentary.

But in August 2017, KSI shocked everyone by announcing that he left the Sidemen, and also released diss track vidoes about the other members.

Music Journey

Back in May 2020, KSI released his very first album named “Dissimulation.” Guess what? It got #1 on the Irish Albums Chart and #2 on the UK Albums Chart.

This Gold-level album had singles like “Down Like That” (with Rick Ross, Lil Baby, and S-X), “Wake Up Call” (featuring Trippie Redd), “Poppin” (with Lil Pump and Smokepurpp), “Houdini” (featuring Swarmz and Tion Wayne), and “Killa Killa” (featuring Aiyana-Lee).

Then, he came back with another album named “All Over the Place” in 2021. It reached #1 on the UK Albums Chart and also had Gold singles like “Really Love” (featuring Craig David and Digital Farm Animals) and “Don’t Play” (with Anne-Marie and Digital Farm Animals).

KSI didn’t stop there. He also released some EPs like “Keep Up” (2016), “Jump Around” (2016), “Space” (2017), and “Disstracktions” (2017). And last but not the least, don’t forget the studio album “All Over the Place” in 2021!

Philanthropy

KSI really cares about helping others and has been part of some charity works like “Comic Relief,” “Stand Up To Cancer,” “Sport Relief,” and “Children in Need” on TV. He also gave $10,000 to YouTuber Castro1021’s online charity event in 2015.

KSI also got into a Race Against Slime to raise money for SpecialEffect, a U.K. based organization that helps people with physical disabilities by making them able to play video games and have a blast.

He and his Sidemen fellows did three charity football events from 2016 to 2018 and raised almost £400,000. That money was donated to charities like the Saint’s Foundation, Childline, and the Charlton Athletic Community Trust.

In 2020, KSI donated $60,000 to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation and other organizations in support of black lives. He even donated clothes to the Seaview Project and joined campaigns like The Independent’s, Help the Hungry and the Evening Standard’s Food for London Now.

For needy children, he even sang on the charity single “Stop Crying Your Heart Out.” During BBC Radio 1’s “Lol-a-thon,” he released £10,000 in support of Comic Relief in 2021.

Personal Life

KSI is a big fan of the London soccer team Arsenal F.C., and you can watch him appearing on AFTV, a channel where Arsenal fans share their ideas.

Back in 2012, he was accused of assaulting a woman at a Eurogamer event and even did something unlikeable to spokesmodel Brandy Brewer. Even though Brandy later tweeted:

“I agreed to the motorboat; it’s just a joke… chill out!”

KSI got banned from going to Eurogamer events in the future because of his behaviour.
