Chris Smoove has been entertaining people with his commentary over gameplay and eventually
moving into coverage of the NBA since joining the youtube community back in February of
2008.
His first youtube video, Ben Wallace spin move plus jumper LOL would be the start of
an incredible youtube career that seems to be growing day by day.
At the time of this recording, Smoove has over 4.5 million subscribers on youtube, where
he averages just under 1 million views daily.
However, in the last 30 days alone, Chris has generated just over 29 million views on
youtube, according to social blade.
He also has partnerships with 2k, PS4 and McDonalds.
All of these endorsements and partnerships have helped Chris earn an estimated net worth
of 6 million bucks according to naibuzz.com
What's going on guys?
My name is Jarred Bronstein and today we are going to take a look at the financial come
up of Chris Smoove and what he spends his fortune on here for you on The Rich Life.
We just did a Before They Were Famous on Chris because you guys kept asking for it, so we
figured why not do a Rich Life?
Today’s trivia question is also a follow up from our trivia question in the Before
They Were Famous video.
So I want to know, when Chris Smoove’s channel was Chris7182954, what was his reasoning for
the numbers?
Let me know in the comments and also be sure to let us know who is next.
I'll see you guys after the intro.
Chris Smoove was born on November 27th, 1985 in the state of Florida.
He’s currently living in South Florida according to both his Twitter and Instagram page, although
the exact city is unknown.
He gained quite a following on Youtube for posting commentary over his NBA2k gameplay,
but also played first person shooters including Call of Duty.
His charismatic catch phrases like I make it Splash Man, Shot clock cheese and that’s
a smoove move quickly stuck with his fans.
This would help him grow his youtube following into the millions, but if you guys want to
hear more about Chris Smooves come up, be sure to check out the Before They Were Famous
we did on him.
Speaking of his Before They Were Famous, I fucked up.
Roll the clip.
Alright, you guys let me know that wasn’t in fact Chris Smoove in the Pepsi commercial,
instead it was his doppelgänger Scooter Magruder.
Now I’ll admit to it, I fucked up, but putting these guys side by side, you don’t see a
resemblance at all?
And in my defence, Chris posted the clip from the superbowl commercial on his personal instagram
with the caption #ad Follow the link in my bio to find out how to win prizes from Pepsi
for the #PepsiSB50Sweepstakes.
These two nailed the kick line!
Granted, I probably should have realized when he wrote “These two nailed the kick line!”
but at a quick glance, I fully thought it was Chris.
Turns out it wasn’t.
My bad.
But feel free to clown on me in the comments, just get creative because telling me I suck
is like a your mom joke.
It just gets old cuhhhhhh.
Now back to this man’s wealth.
Now for those of you that watched the Before They Were Famous on Chris Smoove, you guys
know he keeps his personal life pretty private.
For those of you that didnt watch it.
Go now, I’ll wait.
Alright so now that we’re all on the same page here, let’s get right into what the
splash man spends all his bank on.
Im sure you guys wont be all the surprised when I tell ya, I’m not too sure what he
spends all his money on.
In fact, because he keeps his personal life so private, it was really hard to make a video
about this guy in the first place.
Now I was able to find an old video where he shows a car in his garage.
In one of his videos titled My Trip to San Francisco, Smoove vlogs his trip after being
invited by EA to join some other youtubers.
In the video he shows a white car, which to me looks like a Mercedes but I can’t say
for sure.
If you guys know what car this is, you gotta let me know in the comments dow below.
Although I can’t quote the car because I don’t know what the actual car is, It’s
got quite a nice interior as well, so I’d say it would cost him at least around 50 grand.
Majority of luxury cars have the push to start feature, but then again so does my Honda Civic
which costs less than 30 grand so really what do I know?
In the same vlog styled video, Smoove shows off a pair of blue shoes which are believed
to be Jordan 1 Flight Mids, which back in 2013 would retail for between 100 and 150
bucks.
There was a skit Chris shot with what fans we’re claiming was his old car.
In the video which is a prelude to his Madden 17 Career mode, he says he’s going to the
pros and his priorities are to get a new hair cut, a new car and then a house.
In the video, the car which is believed to be Chris’ is a Saab 900.
Now these cars are far from luxurious, with production ending in 1998.
Considering how he posted the video in 2016, years after Chris would see a ton of success
on youtube it’s safe to say he definitely has upgraded whips.
However its still important to mention the Saab would of cost him around 3 to 4 thousand
bucks.
Now many of you guys also know Chris has been linked to having a long time girlfriend.
Again, no one knows her name, but she got her claim to fame when Chris included her
in one of his youtube clips promoting his merch and giving his girl a slap on the booty.
Literally every comment was skip to 1:21 and slow down the speed or skip to 1:20 and thank
me later.
You guys are real sickos.
That’s the man’s girl.
Cmon Cuh.
But then again I was 13 once so I get it.
You’ll learn one day there’s other places to go for things like that aside from youtube.
But, Chris himself even made his youtube account to look at booty shaking videos.
Anyway back to his girlfriend.
Although we don’t know her name or what she does, there is a photo of the two of them
in what looks like a European city.
Did they take a fancy trip somewhere?
Possibly.
We dont know.
What I do know is in the photo Chris’ girl is wearing a Soho Metallic Leather Disco bag
by Gucci, which comes in around 1300 bucks US.
Now although I can’t talk too much on what this man spends all his money on, I can talk
about how much he’s potentially making.
Uploading videos on youtube since 2008, Chris has been able to gain a following of over
4.5 million.
In total, his channel has over 2.6 billion views total, and his most viewed video, Black
Panter Dunk NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest 2018 has just under 23 million views at the
time of this recording.
It’s a recap of the 2018 Slam Dunk Contest with Chris’ famous audio commentary.
So let’s say on average Chris gets 0.003 cents per view, or 3000 bucks per million
views.
In this one video alone, he would’ve made just under 70 thousand dollars.
Now it is fair to say all of Chris’ videos probably aren't monetized.
Especially ones including footage of the NBA, because the Youtube algorithm is pretty quick
to copyright stuff.
But for the most part Chris makes money off of his videos.
With over 29 million views in the last month, Chris seems to be doing quite well for himself
by covering news and updates from the NBA.
On top of this he also sells his merch, which has his famous catch phrases like I make it
splash man, shot clock cheese and that’s a smoove move, all plastered on t shirts,
hoodies and even phone cases.
Needless to say Chris is a smart business man and is making sure he can make a full
time living posting videos on youtube and selling merch.
We also can’t forget the partnerships he has with PS4 and Mcdonalds.
Detials with those partnerships haven’t been released, but on average influencers
with over 1 million followers on a platform can get around 10,000 bucks per post.
Chris doesn’t have an instagram following nearly as big as his youtube following, but
with his loyal fan base i wouldn't be surprised if a large corporation like 2k hook their
boy up with some cheese.
Aright guys, for that trivia question, it was actually a follow up from our Before They
Were Famous question.
In that video I asked for Chris original youtube name which some of you got.
In this one, I wanted to know where the numbers from his original name came from.
It turns out its the area code he used to live in the number 2 and the area code where
he currently lives or moved to at the time.
He explained it right here.
I’m wrapping up this video here, My name is Jarred Bronstein.
If you haven't Subscribed to our channel be sure to do that right now.
Be sure to check out the Before They Were Famous we did on Chris and just ignore the
fact that I mistook his post on instagram of the Scooter Magruder Pepsi Ad for him.
Or don’t.
Like I said ya’ll can clown on me because I’ll always own up to my mistakes and they're
gonna keep happening.
Let ys know in the comments below who you guys want to see next.
You can find me on social media @bronst7.
I'll see you guys in another video.
