Jesse Wellens Net Worth $4.8 Million
Jesse is one of two children of Stella and Steve Wellens, and also has a half-brother. Being a “troublemaker” during his teenage years, he was expelled from a local high school at the age of 16, however, he later somehow managed to matriculate. Wellens then joined the US Air Force where he spent the next six years, establishing his net worth. Upon finishing his military service, and alongside his at that time long term girlfriend Jeana Smith, he launched the YouTube channel PrankvsPrank in 2009, which provided further basis for Jesse Wellens’ currently rather impressive net worth.
It all began when Jesse and Jeana started uploading videos of themselves pranking each other in 2007, before they launched their official YouTube channel PrankvsPrank in 2009. Their videos featured not only the prank itself ,but the entire storyline too – the preparations, the prank as well as the reaction of the “victim(s)” afterwards. In 2012 they guest appeared in an episode of Nice Peter’s (Peter Shukoff) “Epic Rap Battles of History”, then in April 2013, PrankvsPrank was rated by USA Today as the best prankster channel on YouTube. Later in 2013, under the alias Chip Chocolate Jesse released his debut rap single entitled “Cookie Dance”, which managed to peak as the No. 68 of the UK Singles Chart. It is certain that all these endeavors helped Jesse Wellens to dramatically boost both his wealth and his popularity.
Prior to parting ways with Jeana in May 2016, Jesse and his PrankvsPrank channel were honored with the Streamy Award for the Best Prank Show, as well as with the Shorty Award. During their relationship, Jesse and Jeana also managed BFvsGF channel, regularly posting videos of their everyday lives, often traveling around Philadelphia and New York. Nowadays, Jesse runs his own, eponymous YouTube channel, which currently counts a total of 234 videos, and has a more than 10.4 million subscribers. He also regularly uploads to his other channel – DownRangeGaming – which counts more than 70 videos and over 1.3 million subscribers. Doubtlessly, all these involvements have helped Jesse Wellens to increase the total of his revenues by a large margin.
When it comes to his personal life, or at least that part not shown in his videos, Jesse has been married once, during his military service, but that marriage did not last long; apparently he is still officially single, and currently resides in Venice Beach, California where he also serves as a producer of short movies. Besides on YouTube, Jesse Wellens is also regularly active on several other social media networks, where he has been followed by over 3.6 million fans altogether.
