Net Worth
FaZe Rug’s net worth is 3 million dollars.
He makes around 1 million dollars annually.
He has accumulated more capital than most people twice his age, and he’s not shy about showing it off. In fact, every chance he gets, he puts his prosperity on display. This is one of his signature trademarks.
FaZe Rug’s name has become synonymous with currency. Since money is no object to him, he liberally blesses those around him with high-end gifts and accommodations, especially family members.
He has a massive Twitter following, but it comes nowhere close to what he has going on with YouTube. It’s no secret, the media giant is essentially his oyster, his cash cow; and it’s all because of views and advertisements.
The more controversial the videos he uploads, the more people watch. The more people watch, the more dough he racks up from YouTube and other online outlets, whether directly or indirectly.
One of FaZe Rug’s most popular videos to date is arguably the one where he tricked his mom, making it seem as if he had cocaine in his possession. Needless to say, it garnered a boatload of views, 16 million to be exact. That alone equated to beaucoup funds.
FaZe Rug started from the bottom; now he’s being brought up in conversations with the likes of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and other rich, young influencers. He puts tremendous effort into his video techniques and methodologies which, of course, draws in more subscribers.
Additionally, he sells eponymous merchandise and sees substantial returns on his investments. His sponsorships are incredibly lucrative. There is also a marketing aspect involved with everything he does to stay relevant; he promotes himself across various mediums for provision and relevancy’s sake.
Lamborghini Hit by Vandals
Apparently, FaZe Rug’s first noteworthy car was a Mazda 6.

It didn’t take long for him to upgrade to a 2016 Range Rover Autobiography, white in color. Naturally, a Lamborghini was next on the list; and that same Lamborghini was vandalized shortly after he bought it—but not really.
His parents decided to seek vengeance by paying him back for all the times he pranked them in the past. They used what appeared to be spray paint to deface his beloved Lamborghini Huracan with derogatory statements.

Some would say that FaZe Rug simply has the Midas touch.
One thing is for sure: He built an empire from scratch.
Early Life

FaZe Rug’s birth name is Brian Awadis. It’s not said if his parents gave him the name Brian because they were thinking prophetically, but interestingly enough, Brian means “high” or “noble,” which translates loosely as “the exalted one.” That’s very fitting for FaZe Rug.
He was born in 1996 in San Diego, California. He’ll be 23 years old on his birthday, November 19th.
Unlike some of the children in his neighborhood and school system, FaZe Rug was fortunate enough to grow up with both of his parents in the household, however, he gave them somewhat of a hard time, mostly reaping laughs at their expense.
