early life
PewDiePie was born on October 24, 1989 in Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg in Gothenburg, Sweden. His parents are Lotta Kristine Johanna and Ulf Christian Kjellberg. His father was a corporate executive, and his mother was an award-winning chief information officer. He has an older sister named Fanny. In high school, Felix played truant to play video games. He graduated from Göteborgs Högre Samskola High School. He initially focused on pursuing a degree in Industrial Economics and Technical Management at Chalmers University of Technology. However, he found that he was not interested in the course, so he dropped out. He did not drop out of school to pursue a YouTube career as widely reported over the years. Although he is not interested in school courses, he is really passionate about Photoshop and has always maintained a love for video games. He sells images processed by Photoshop to save enough money to buy a computer.
YouTube
Felix joined YouTube on December 19, 2006. His original channel is actually called “Pewdie”. He explained that he chose the word “Pew” as the sound of the laser. His early videos include Felix playing Call of Duty. He also mixed in some video blog videos. For a while, he forgot/lost the password of the Pewdie channel, so he launched a new channel called PewDiePie on April 29, 2010. On the PewDiePie channel, he focuses on Call of Duty, Minecraft and various other horror/action games. For example, he will play his best short video of CoD Killing with interesting comments and editors. For his Minecraft videos, he will release “Let’s Plays” where people can simply play games.
Early success
At some point, PewDiePie started playing Amnesia games. For whatever reason, his Amnesia Let’s Plays video touched the nerves of more YouTube viewers, and the number of subscribers to his channel began to soar. PewDiePie’s channel began to grow, with 1 million subscribers in July 2012, and 2 million subscribers in September 2012. He signed an agency agreement with MCN Michinima and then moved to Maker Studios in October 2012.

dispute
In February 2017, PewDiePie’s YouTube Red show was exposed because several of his videos contained anti-Semitic content. PewDiePie claims that these videos are ironic, just to emphasize how people will do anything for money, no matter how inappropriate or shocking. In the most obvious example, he paid $5 to two people through the website Fiver to hold up a slogan that read “All Jews die.” There is also a viral “subscribe to PewDiePie” challenge, where people deceive the world by spreading this sentence in public. At least two mass murderers said “subscribe to PewDiePie” during the massacre or in their manifesto. PewDiePie keeps her distance from the meme and condemns the killer.

PewDiePie met Italian Marzia Bisognin in 2011. They established a friendship online, which eventually developed into a relationship.

They lived in a seaside town relatively anonymously with two pugs, one named Edgar and the other named Maya.
