Meet Minecraft’s Youngest Billionaire

This is Tommy in a content creator who has gotten billions of views and became a millionaire at the age of 16 he’s recorded with famous people like Mr Beast the sideman ninja performed live shows and even won Guinness World Records but how did he get so successful in 2017 13-year-old Tommy init started

His journey on Twitch to change the platform forever he streamed on and off every single day and it’s where he met his friend tubo although at this point he was only averaging 5 to 10 people per stream and he rarely streamed for over an hour he was just another average kid

Amongst thousands of other kids doing the exact same thing until he made a decision that would change his life Tommy took a break from streaming on Twitch and it’s when he’d upload his first video on the Tommy channel that you can still watch today while going to school every day he uploaded videos

Consistently even though they weren’t getting many views at all there were Minecraft skits he edited on his mom’s computer however the content would start to see huge improvements over the next couple months Tommy would start picking up Trends which at the time was PewDiePie versus T Series and he was

Starting to learn how YouTube worked until hypixel’s Sky Block released by this point he was only 15 and it was when he really started to grow Hypixel had a unique take on Sky Block they took the whole idea and added a lot more to it to make it into a whole different

Game it wasn’t long before half of the entire server was playing it even to this day Tommy took advantage of this success and he would start to see his first real growth ever since starting YouTube he was finally getting thousands of views per video which led him to finally hitting 30,000 subscribers and

Getting the YouTube rank it was at around this time where Tommy would come back to streaming on Twitch but it wasn’t the same story as last time where he was just another average kid streaming to no viewers this time he had an established audience on YouTube so a

Lot of them were going to check out his twitch so when he finally started streaming again his twitch will start to pick up heavily his average viewers were doubling every single month while gaining tens of thousands of followers and he was only getting started because

It was only then when he got invited to SMP Earth the most famous Minecraft S&P at the time this was arguably the hugest turning point in Tommy’s career and the funny thing is he wasn’t even supposed to be in the server he got extremely lucky on a random coincidence and before

He knew it he was in a server with Captain sparkle technoblade crack and it’s even where he met now one of his best friends wub su he was only 15 years old and he was one of the fastest growing channels at the time and that

Was only the tip of the iceberg of what was going to unfold as Tommy established himself on SMP Earth getting all the more viewers by the day he was also networking and started to get noticed by the Minecraft Community his videos alone were getting so many views because of

The cont content he was able to make by just being on the server however all good things come to an end because s SMP Earth had its final day in April of 2020 the server was shutting down and everyone was giving their final goodbyes destroying every build settling the

Final business deals and it was Tommy’s highest viewed month of all time but you would think that would be the peak of his viewership right there was no more server to stream on and he couldn’t record anymore with all of these YouTubers while you would be wrong to

Assume anything because April of 2020 when the server shut down 1,000 average viewers and a month later 1,500 average viewers another month later over 2,000 average viewers this kid was growing incredibly and it was evident that people were watching him because of him and not the people around him this gave

Him a lot more freedom because he was able to stream things other than Minecraft games like Terraria and Five Nights at Freddy’s and it wouldn’t impact his growth but all of a sudden from June to July of 2020 Tommy had more than quadrupled his average viewers in

Just a single month how is this possible well in a random stream he got an invite to a ser ever made by dream and his friends and it was just a stupid stream where they’d mess around and not do much however this stream would prove to be lifechanging people found this

Interesting and funny so this continued first stream 2,500 average viewers second stream 4,000 average viewers it kept on climbing and climbing and by the end of the month he was consistently getting over 10,000 live average viewers and just at the start of the same month he was only averaging 200 this growth

Was exponential and unheard of it was because Tommy brought his personality onto the the server believe it or not dream was hesitant to invite him at first because he already knew what would happen before Tommy joined they were building houses and reading out donation but when he joined he wre havoc on the

Server but little did they know this was the best thing that could have possibly happened Tommy continued to ruin dreams Minecraft server and continued to cause chaos and day by day he continued to grow insanely fast and by next month Tommy was up to almost 23,000 live

Average viewers which was 10 times what it was just 2 months ago T was now one of the biggest streamers on Twitch and he had only just turned 16 years old things would only go up from there as the dream SMP continued to grow and a

Lot more people were starting to join a dedicated fan base was starting to grow out of proportion and a ton of fan pages fan accounts and communities were seemingly coming out of nowhere every month was better than the next from 22,000 average viewers it doubled again

To 45,000 it was at around this time where the dream SMP was getting insane recognition from outside of the Minecraft Community these streams were also being uploaded to YouTube and fans were quick to show support I’ve just realized the dream SMP would not be the

Way it is today if it weren’t for Tommy Tommy made it entertaining who knew a 16-year-old boy could change Minecraft YouTube history forever Tommy would stream on the S&P with Ninja and just the next day he would stream with Poké ninja and Pokemon both at one point being the biggest streamers on the

Twitch platform all of this was bringing even more attention to him as his streamers ninja was made into a video on his YouTube channel which is one of the most popular videos on his channel currently sitting at 30 million views it looked like things were not slowing down

Especially with everyone being stuck at home and trust me it did not slow down by the end of the year Tommy was boasting an average viewership of 170,000 it was hard to Fathom considering just a few months ago in the same year he was only streaming to a few

100 people but this isn’t where it all ends the following year of 2021 was where Tommy really started to break record January of 2021 256,000 live average viewers February March April May of 2021 over 200 100,000 live average viewers Tommy had just got over 200,000 live average viewers over

An entire 5 months this was absolutely unheard of on the whole platform and it had not been done by anybody else during these months he’d become the most followed Minecraft channel on Twitch and he broken the record of the most concurrent viewers on a Minecraft live stream on January of 2021 he streamed

The dream SMP finale and had a peak viewership of 650,000 Life concurrent viewers to put this into perspective it was the third highest alltime record on Twitch at the time and even beat Ninja’s stream with Drake while fortnite was at its very Peak keep in mind he was only

16 years old at this point Tommy was living the dream it seemed like nothing could go wrong he broke records he was on the news he was collabing with every YouTuber his channel was exponentially growing he was Unstoppable and he was going to college now literally I have my

College s due tomorrow I have my college ESS however all good things come to an end and just like s SMP Earth the hype around the dream SMP started to die down it’s where Tommy would see Mega declines in in his viewership every single month though these are still incredible

Numbers it was rapidly decreasing from where it once was and fast forward a couple of months a prominent figure in the dream SMP someone who played an incredible role to the storyline technoblade had uploaded this video he would explain that he was diagnosed with cancer and it genuinely came to a shock

To everyone nevertheless things continued as usual but everyone was aware of this in the back of their head they very sadly another couple of months later after everyone had kind of assumed technoblade was fine for now his father uploaded a video explaining that he passed away this came as a bigger shock

To so many more people it really wasn’t the same without techno he was an important part to the storyline and he done so much that it was difficult to continue without him later on the S&P was eventually shut down and it was only the Legacy that remained Tommy’s viewership steadily decreased but again

He was still averaging tens of thousands of viewers and he was still really popular he went on to hosting a tour of live shows in the UK and every single one of them completely sold out people really enjoyed what he was doing and the shows turned out to be extremely

Successful fast forward a couple of years not much happened at all Tommy’s viewership continued to slow down gradually now only having a couple thousand viewers and losing followers every single month though this is to be expected because he barely streams anymore and currently Minecraft is on a decline and around his Peak Minecraft

Was on top of the world but nowadays it’s slowly going back to how it was before lockdown but who knows maybe one day we’ll get a Minecraft OG and everyone will come back or maybe hight tail will finally be released
