DJ Vlad is a popular musician and vlogger who’s real name is Vladimir Lyubovny. He started his YouTube channel back in 2008 and as of 2023 has almost almost 5 million subscribers. As of 2023, DJ Vlad’s net worth is estimated to be approximately $5 million.
How Did DJ Vlad Get So Rich?
Vladimir was born June 28, 1973 in Kiev, Ukraine (former SSSR). He studied computer science at UC Berkeley. His first job was as a software developer. Later he started his own company named GigaStaff. He terminated the company in the year 2000 and oriented more towards music. Some of his mixtapes won awards from MTV, Rolling Stone magazine, and XXL magazine.
After that he turned his attention to directing. He directed for example, the American Gangster TV Series. His YouTube channel started in 2008 and was an almost instant hit. One of his early videos covered Rick Ross’ former career as a corrections officer may have caught him a beating however. DJ Vlad filed a $4 million lawsuit against Ross claiming that the Miami MC orchestrated a “brutal attack” on him, according to MTV. The judge found Rick Ross’ crew responsible and ordered Ross to pay DJ Vlad $300,000.
There’s no doubt that DJ Vlad is a man of many talents. His multiple careers have brought him incredible wealth and respect within the industry. While his djvlad channel seems to often find itself in the middle of controversy and accusations, we think that goes with the territory. In 2015, Vlad has been mentioned among “culture vultures”, on Moguldom. Justin Timberlake, Iggy Azalea and Kim Kardashian are also mentioned though. Our opinion is that DJ Vlad focuses on what has become mainstream American culture, so ignore the claims and consider it a guise for disliking his documentary style.
