About RiceGum
Bryan Quang Le (also known as RiceGum) is a famous YouTuber and rapper born in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1996. RiceGum has earned income equal to a salary of $2.8 million dollars, since 2019.
He was born to a Chinese mother and a Vietnamese father, who were both immigrants, making him a first-generation American. He attended Sierra Vista High School before graduating in 2014. After high school, he went to the Univerisity of Nevada, but he only stayed for one semester before he dropped out. This was the biggest step that Ricegum could take as it thrust him into the “real” world.
RiceGum’s original claim to fame is his Youtube and Musical.ly videos, but since then, he has been recognized for his feats as a musician. His most famous Youtube video is his These Kids Must Be Stopped series in which he roasts web celebrities like Jake Paul, Loren Gray, WoahVicky, and Hunter Rowland. These videos brought in billions of views and today he 10 million subscribers.
One of his diss tracks were number 80 on the Billboard Hot 100, making him one of the only YouTubers to accomplish this. He took this momentum and used to start his rap career, releasing many singles like It’s Every Night Sis, I Didn’t Hit her, Naughty or Nice, Frick da police, Bitcoin, and Fornite and Chill.
His following got so big, and his videos got so popular that he even starred in a 2019 Superbowl commercial. His videos continue to gain popularity as RiceGum creates conflict with other web stars and social media influencers.
Ricegum began his journey on Youtube by starting small. His account was opened in 2012 and had very few followers. He became involved in Machinima, and every so often, he would upload a video game commentary video, gaining only a handful of views per video. His channel became popular when it transferred to comedy, and Ricegum began making fun of the videos that people were posting to Musical.ly (a music app that is now famously known as Tik Tok).
He suddenly rose in internet stardom when he made a “diss track” for Jacob Sartorius (another YouTube personality). He has been credited as the very first Youtuber to “roast” celebrities in the form of a “diss track”. Since then it has become a somewhat collaborative enterprise with famous YouTubers eventually roasting him back.
RiceGum’s estimated net worth of $8 million may not seem like a lot compared to other famous YouTubers like Jeffree Star, Markiplier and Pewdiepie but it’s impressive for a career that is only a decade online.
Youtube is not his only source of income. He also uses social media to make an income. His Instagram account, which has over 3 million followers, brings in passive revenue by using sponsorships and ads.
In 2016, Ricegum had just 1 million subscribers, which would’ve earned him an estimated $57,000 a year, but in just one year, that number raised to 9 million, quickly launching him into a world of wealth. It’s estimated that Ricegum makes an estimated $150-200,000 per month and $1.5-2 million a year.
It’s estimated that he spends $40,000 to live in the CloutHouse with fellow Youtubers and Social Media Influencers.
What has made RiceGum so successful is his ability to stay relevant. With his vlogs, raps, and social media posts, he is a genius when it comes to stirring up controversy and drawing in viewers. He effectively uses his videos as a means to draw in new subscribers, keep his old subscribers happy, and keep his name relevant.
Ricegum is also successful because of his innate talent to find instant success in whatever he is interested in. He’s been known to follow whatever makes him happy, which is what pushed him to drop out of college and become a Youtuber. This drive to do whatever makes him happy allegedly took him back to college, where he finished his degree.
RiceGum’s Total Net Worth
RiceGum has earned estimated total career income of $12.5 million dollars from his career on YouTube and his spinoffs. As RiceGum lived in the state of California until 2017, when he relocated to Nevada, he will have had to pay around 36% in taxes on his career income. That is, considering Nevada does not have any state income tax. After tax, it is estimated that his career earnings are at around $8 million dollars, having paid $4.5 million dollars in taxes.
RiceGum is not married and has no children. In his personal life he has likely spent $1 million dollars of his career earnings but also earned $1.5 million dollars from his investments. He will have also had to pay around $500,000 dollars in business costs. Therefore, it is estimated that RiceGum has a net worth of about $8 million dollars.
Summing-Up
Ricegum is a Youtube sensation who has made his living creating controversial videos and diss tracks. He’s been credited at the very first person to make a celebrity diss track on Youtube and continues to grow in his popularity every day. He’s steadily climbing the ranks to become a great rapper and musical artist, as well as one of the most popular influencers on Youtube.
