Jesse Wellens became rich and famous thanks to the YouTube channel named PrankvsPrank that he created together with his beautiful girlfriend Jeana Smith in 2009. Wellens’ net worth is estimated to be $2.3 million as of 2023. Well, it looks like pulling pranks on your girlfriend can make you big bucks.
How Did Jesse Wellens Get So Rich?
One of the videos shows Jeana trying the so called cinnamon challenge. An attempt to eat a spoonful of ground cinnamon in less than one minute. Without drinking of course. It dries inside of ones mouth and result in coughing, gagging, and sometimes even vomiting. Needless to say that the whole “challenge” carries some serious health risks.
Most of the videos that brought the young couple stellar net worth are following simple pattern. Jesse and his girlfriend are pulling pranks on each other, recording it, and later posting on their YouTube channel. They are really good at it and for example in 2013 USA Today named them the best pranksters on YouTube.
Wellens is also making some money as an actor. He appeared on TV shows BlackBoxTV and Fight of the Living Dead. In 2015, he should also play on Bob Thunder: Internet Assassin. We are curious to see if he can transform his online fame into more mainstream media attention. That would definitely further help increase his already sizable net worth.
