Faze Sway (real name Josue Sway) is an youtuber and esports player. He became a millionaire before turned 18 years old in 2022. In 2023 Faze Sway net worth has exceeded 5 million US dollars. Down below we explain how ho got so rich in such at such young age.
How Did Faze Sway Become Rich?
Faze Sway was born in Puerto-Rico, USA on Jan 27, 2004. His family wasn’t rich, but had 4 kids, including Josue. Later his family moved to Mexico, as cost of living there is lower than in the Puerto Rico and they had some relatives living in Mexico as well.
Faze created YouTube channel on June 18, 2013, but at a time he was too young – only nine years old – to do anything about that. His first video is dated March 31, 2017.
Kids love playing computer games, and Faze wasn’t an exception. Obviously, he picked up a niche he wanted to succeed in to be interesting for him. Thus, a gaming channel under the name of Faze Way was born.
Faze’s first video:
Faze continued to upload more videos on his YT channel, but he experienced a relatively slow growth over the first two years. However, things has started to change in 2019 when a battle royale game called Fortnite started gaining more and more popularity. Josue was recording videos about Fortnite Battle Royale since 2018, so it was natural for him to continue uploading more and more gaming videos focused on this free-to-play battle royale game.
As game’s popularity grew, so did Faze’s. If before his videos received 100-200 thousand views per months, at the beginning of 2019 this number grew to millions of views per month. In March he joined FaZe clan, established by Nickmercs and FaZe Apex that already had Faze Jev, Faze Adapt and Mongraal in their team and later was joined by other players.
In July 2019 Faze Sway managed to attract 22, 336,102 video views! Two months later he released his most popular video called Evolution of FaZe Sway, Season 1-10:
During the winter season of 2019-2020 number of views on Faze channel dropped to 8-10 million per month, but with a start of Season 2, the views doubled. In May 2020 his channel established the new all-time record of a month viewership, attracting 22,868,976 video views. Faze Sway was making tens of thousand of dollars every week,
However, since then the number of monthly viewership has been dropping. In 2021 the average number of views per month didn’t exceed 5 million, and in 2022 this number dropped to 2 on average, making him only 50 to 60 thousand per year.
Now his new releases get 200 thousand views maximum and it’s obvious that Josue himself has lost an interest in making more videos and improving them to reach wider audience. But that doesn’t change the fact that he is a millionaire known as Faze Sway and can pursue any dream he has.
