KSI earns a huge portion of his £21million net worth from his YouTube channels, music career and boxing fights alongside other business ventures and sponsorship deals.
According to The Sunday Times, the British YouTuber earned over £12million in 2020 and over £13million the following year.
With more than 15 million subscribers on YouTube, KSI has established himself as one of the most famous internet personalities, also co-founding the British YouTube group known as the Sidemen.
However, he has also found success in many other endeavours outside of YouTube.
He has released two albums Dissimulation and All Over The Place, as well as four EPs, and worked with artists such as Future, 21 Savage, Craig David, Yungblud, Bugzy Malone and Lil Durk.
He’s also the co-owner of Prime Hydration, XIX Vodka, and the restaurant chain Sides.
KSI ventured into boxing in recent years, with a fight against fellow YouTuber Logan Paul earning them both £760,000 in 2019.

British rapper Swarmz has an estimated net worth of £1.65million as of 2022.
The musician, whose real name is Brandon Scott, was also a talented footballer during his teenage years, playing for the youth academies of Fulham, Charlton Athletic and Southend United.
Swarmz, whose real name is Brandon Scott, was heavily inspired by the Jamaican music his family listened to and began rapping with his friends while in school. In 2018, he left football to pursue music officially.
Starting off as a Soundcloud rapper, Swarmz gained over 200k views for his 2017 music video for Money.
He went viral the following year with breakthrough single Lyca, which led to him signing with Virgin Records.
The rapper is also not new to professional boxing with an impressive record of 147 wins to two losses.
