As of December 2018, the channel has attracted an alarming 10 million+ loyal subscribers with over 3.2 billion views.
The success of his first channel and the need to diversify led CaptainSparklez (real name: Jordan Maron) to develop another 6 channels with different needs, including CaptainSparklez2 (548,000), Jordan Maron (358,000), Maron Music (172,000), Fortnite Cinema (269,000 ), Jordan React (174,000) and Jordan Games (20k), which aren’t doing too badly at the moment, despite not being as popular as his first channel.
This unique talent has brought him a tangible amount of money over the years.
