We’ve seen social media millionaires over the years, most notably on the social platform YouTube. These celebrities and millionaires have made their mark after carving out niches around the internet, and a case in point for such an exciting media personality on YouTube is American Minecraft gamer and YouTube star PopularMMOs, whose channel has garnered a large number of views about 12 billion and 15 million subscribers. Read on to find out more about the internet sensation.
PopularMMO’s bio
Popular Minecraft star Patrick JulianelleBrown, whose online nickname is PopularMMOs, was born on November 25, 1988 in Connecticut. In terms of his family background, there really isn’t much to report as he seems to keep it quite private, other than the fact that he has a brother called Billy, although they don’t share the best of relationships. It is also known that he graduated from college with a degree in psychology.
Patrick Brown aka PopularMMOs initially took over the name to promote his website. Luckily, the YouTube channel he started in April 2012 for this sole purpose thrived and within two years became more popular than the website he previously used to promote PopularMMMOs.com. Thus began his journey to fame and fortune.
His first uploaded videos are the Runescape and currently he has over 3600 videos consisting of Minecraft and Roblox game videos that have already been viewed 12 billion times despite gaining 15 million loyal subscribers. He later advanced by uploading to Artlantica, Tera, World of Warcraft, 100 Ways to Die (MineCraft), among other games.
The success of PopularMMMO’s YouTube channel probably inspired him to start two more channels that are not as popular as his first channel. PatVsThe World and DungeonNoobAdventure. PatVsThe World has a few uploaded challenge videos like the habanero, cinnamon challenges etc.

He has a nice athletic build and he said in a video where he stands at a height of 1.86m, although the media outfit says otherwise and put his height at 1.73m and he always trains at 610, operates weightlifting and deadlifts; he once said he also benched about 350 pounds, did 200 curls, and did 500 squats, which is a pretty good number to hit if you ask me.
