GameGrumps Net Worth $2.8 Million
Jafari and Arin started the web series after arguing about one of the characters from the game, Super Smash Bros. The two received a suggestion from Ross O’Donovan, an animator, that they are too grumpy about video games; this gave an idea to Arin about a podcast with commentaries and opinions about video games. However, instead of a podcast, it turned into a web series, and Hanson with Jafari began uploading videos. Their first video was uploaded in July 2012, entitled “Kirby Super Star – Spring Breeze ADVENTURES!”, and has now attracted more than 2.5 million views, establishing a strong net worth.
The two continued to work together until June 2013, when Jafari left the series to focus on his own channel, replaced by Dan Avidan. He and Arin began expanding the channel with several new ideas, including Steam Train, in which Arin and Dan play a PC game through video game online retailer Steam. Furthermore, they started uploading gameplay videos, including for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate among others. Several other shows followed, such as Table Flip, Steam Rolled, Grumcade, The G Club, and Dragons in Places among others, which considerably increased the popularity of the channel, which now has well over four million subscribers, and attracted over 3.6 billion views, which only increased the net worth of Arin Hanson and Dan Avidan. Some of the most popular videos on the channel include “Good Game – OFFICIAL TRAILER!”, “Game Grumps Animated – I HATE SUBWAY – by Brandon Turner”, and “Game Grumps Animated – I Want Wingull! – by Egoraptor”, among many others.
Additionally Arin Hanson has his own channel – Egoraptor – on which he has more than 2.7 million subscribers and uploads videos based on games, but the characters are animated by himself; these videos have been viewed more than 440 million times. He has been married to Suzy Berhow since 2013.
When it comes to Dan Avidan, he is single, although rumoured to be engaged. He is also a professional singer and is a part of the musical duo Ninja Sex Party, the other half being Brian Wecht.
The two record famous pop and rock songs as parodies, and have gained national fame. He has also sung with other bands, most recently Starbomb, also comprised of Wecht and Arin Hanson, and recording parody songs about video games. So far they have released two studio albums “Starbomb” (2013), and “Player Select” in 2014.
