I peg him at upper middle, but that would be family wealth, not his. My kids watched him when he was really taking off, and he was just figuring out the content math. He started fairly small, spending a few hundred to buy people groceries, to in a few years was loading up a car lot and selling the vehicles for under $10. As his income got more ridiculous his stunts got more ridiculous.
There seems to be a wave of posts going after him lately, and I feel he’s flawed, but I don’t think his original intent was to do harm. He always gave the impression of someone who wanted to do good in the world while chasing fame, and I feel he succeeded more than many who go in with good intentions. I won’t be accepting the complimentary torch and pitchfork with all these posts, but they do raise some points where he should admit fault and clean up his act. The guy tried to get people to plant a billion trees and put a lot of time and money into it - I’ll grade him on a curve.
