What we know about FaZe Rug's net worth and YouTube earnings
Brian “FaZe Rug” Rafat Awadis is a streamer and YouTuber who boasts millions of fans on the long-standing video platform, and those fans may want to know how his earnings and net worth stack up to those of other popular content creators.
FaZe Rug primarily streams on YouTube and began his career by creating gaming content there. Call of Duty was a staple of his broadcasts in the past, and the franchises’ popularity is one of the reasons why he was able to build such a massive and loyal fan following.
The streamer has since moved on to streaming across multiple categories, including IRL vlogging, as well as participating in FaZe Clan’s famous subathons. There is no doubt that FaZe Rug is vastly popular online, and Rangesh “N3on” Mutama recently shared how much the streamer has earned during his YouTube career, leading to fresh interest in the content creator’s net worth numbers.
N3on claims FaZe Rug has made over $300 million from YouTube alone
Streamer FaZe Rug has been creating content on YouTube since 2012, and it was during a recent Kick stream that fellow streamer N3on congratulated him for apparently hitting the $300 million made milestone on the platform.
N3on seemingly let the cat out of the bag when talking about FaZe Rug’s YouTube achievements, and Rug didn’t delve into any further details about his YouTube revenue, though he did acknowledge N3on’s claim and thanked him for his kind words.
FaZe Rug boasts millions of followers on both his primary and gaming YouTube channels and has been creating content successfully for many years, which does potentially align with such high earnings. The streamer has been consistently creating content for more than a decade and has loyal followers who are also subscribed to his channel, adding more to his revenue.

FaZe Rug hasn’t previously revealed his monthly YouTube earnings, but they can be estimated based on his subscribers and views. The streamer boasts more than 28 million subscribers and billions of combined views across his YouTube videos. This means he likely earns a very high ad revenue number based on how well his videos perform. Some analysts put his ad revenue at $50,000 to $100,000 per month, but others claim it’s substantially higher, and that FaZe Rug has pulled as much as $500,000 in a single month, contributing to his growing net worth all along the way.
This revenue can fluctuate, as it depends on views each month. But with a long history of video production, Rug’s revenue is likely far more consistent than that of many other equitable creators.
Another large contributor to FaZe Rug’s YouTube revenue is sponsored videos, which can bring in an average of $100,000 per video for creators of his size. YouTube Channel Memberships work similarly to Twitch and Kick’s subscriptions, where viewers can pay a recurring fee for additional perks. Super Chats and YouTube Premium are also an additional revenue stream, which likely boosts FaZe Rug’s earnings further.
With all these elements in mind, optimistic estimates would suggest that FaZe Rug can earn up to $1 million in an above-average month on YouTube. Add that up over some years, and combine it with some big-money activations and his partnership with FaZe Clan, and N3on’s claim about how much Rug has earned on YouTube could make at least some sense, though from what we know about his net worth it may still be an overestimation.
What we know about FaZe Rug’s net worth
FaZe Rug hasn’t publicly shared his exact net worth, estimates place it in the $25 to $35 million range.
YouTube is likely the largest contributor to FaZe Rug’s total net worth, and the streamer has been creating on the platform for many years, which has helped him amass a sizeable income. While FaZe Rug primarily streams on YouTube, he has channels on Kick and on Twitch. He uses both more sparingly than YouTube, but the deals that brought those channels into fruition may have contributed to his earnings.
FaZe Rug’s streaming activities have also helped him secure major sponsorships, and he also sells his own merch. The streamer also has equity in the massive content creator organization FaZe Clan, and reportedly has a diverse real estate portfolio from which his earnings continue to grow.
These elements and their earnings combined explain why many reports suggest that FaZe Rug’s net worth is in the high millions. But it also stands potentially counter to N3on’s more dramatic claims about Rug’s YouTube earnings. Either N3on’s claim was quite high, or Rug has managed to accrue even greater finances than our, and most any other, estimates have found.
