Career

Jacksepticeye was first registered on YouTube in 2007 but remained quiet for the next five years. In 2012, McLoughlin began posting gameplay videos on the channel, grabbing the attention and later acknowledgement of rising YouTube star PewDiePie, boosting his subscriber base 6-fold in a matter of days. By 2015, Jacksepticeye had reached one billion views and 3.2 million subscribers.

Scare PewDiePie and Disney

In 2016, after signing with Revelmode, PewDiepie’s network, the Irish gamer began work on the second season of the YouTube Red show, Scare PewDiePie. Unfortunately, due to controversy surrounding the Swedish YouTuber’s offensive comments in early 2017, the show never got to air and the Revelmode Network was shut down. The closure of his home network made McLoughlin free to sign with the Disney Digital Network which had projects lined up for him in mainstream media, video games and even entertainment.

His earnings for 2018: $16 million
