Here’s another Millennial name to keep an eye on: Olajide “KSI” Olatunji is a 21-year-old YouTube star who has used gaming, vlogging, and his online experience to become a self-made millionaire. KSI is being featured in Vice’s e-sports documentary series, and is reportedly the second most watched YouTube channel in the UK, with almost 9 million subscribers, and 1.5 billion video views. Fans tune in for his “boisterous” personality and energetic gameplay. While some companies have severed ties with the rising star thanks to some NSFW antics, he is continuing to expand his brand to include merchandising, music, and acting. His fame could continue to grow as young e-sports stars become more mainstream figures. (Business Insider)
