As PewDiePie announced he is taking a break from YouTube over the weekend, the Swedish vlogger has racked up quite a fortune for giving his views to his more than 100 million subscribers.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, PewDiePie, 30, has a net worth of $30 million, which was amassed through advertising deals and partnerships on YouTube.

In a YouTube video, the vlogger said he will be taking a break from the platform that made him famous during 2020. PewDiePie said in the video that he is tired. But it was unclear if he will also be taking a break from his other video platforms – Twitch and DLive.

“I am taking [a] break from YouTube next year. I wanted to say it in advance because I made up my mind. I’m tired. I’m feeling very tired. I don’t know if you can tell ... early next year I’ll be away for a little while. I’ll explain that later but I wanted to give a heads up,” he said in the video.

While the exact reason for PewDiePie’s departure is unknown, he did take the opportunity in the video to denounce YouTube’s new harassment policy, which now does not allow content that “maliciously insults,” based on race, gender expression, and sexual orientation.

Felix Kjellberg, as he is legally known, has come under fire for alleged racist and anti-Semitic comments in recent years, which he denies, but partners such as Disney and YouTube ended their partnership with the video star after the incident, CNBC reported.
