Highest Paid Youtube Stars Markiplier The 17 5 Million Man

Fischbach was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1989 at the Tripler Army Medical Center. His father was in the military. His mother is of Korean descent. After he was born, his family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. He was a member of the marching band in high school. He enrolled in the University of Cincinnati as a biomedical engineering student. He was in the middle of a rough patch – he broke up with his girlfriend, was laid off from his job, and had surgery to remove a tumor on his adrenal gland – and didn’t feel like he had any control over his life. He started recording audio segments as practice for a potential career in voice overs and hit upon the idea for his YouTube channel. Mark dropped out of school and moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career as a YouTube star. Markiplier participates in the category known as Let’s Play. He plays indie and horror games including Five Nights at Freddy’s, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Minecraft, Slender: The Eight Pages, and a number of others. He is known for his sensationalized commentary on the games he is playing. He uses profanity and often cries. When he subtitles his videos, he doesn’t write out the profanity. He uses luck or duck for f*ck and itch for bitch. This fall, Fischbach co-founded an athleisure line called Cloak with fellow YouTuber Sean McLoughlin, aka “Jacksepticeye.” Jacksepticeye came in 8th on this year’s list with $16 million. Basically, Mark Fischbach makes $17.5 million for playing video games.
