About SSSniperWolf
SSSNiperWolf is the nickname of Alia Marie Shelesh. She’s an English-American YouTube personality who rose to prominence with her comedy, gaming, and reaction videos online. As of now, the social media star has accumulated over 8 billion views. She is followed by millions of people online and her YouTube channel alone has more than 25 million subscribers. SSSniperWolf has earned income equal to an estimated salary of $1.2 million dollars per year, since 2019.
The internet star originally became famous thanks to her unique personality and funny videos. She was born on October 22, 1992, in Liverpool, United Kingdom. She’s of Greek and Turkish descent, and, she has two younger brothers and one sister, who is also a YouTuber – Ranya Lasagna. When she was six, Alia, who is mostly called Lia, was moved to the United States with her parents.
During her pre-adolescent years, Lia’s parents bought her a PlayStation and this is when she became interested in gaming. Among one of her favorite games was Metal Gear Solid, thanks to which she came up with the nickname “SSSniperWolf”, which was inspired by the eponymous character Sniper Wolf in the game.
The YouTube star first began her YouTube career in 2013. On January 19, she created her SSSniperWolf channel, which at the time was mainly a gaming channel that included various videos of her playing games such as Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. Also that year, she allegedly got arrested.
According to Influencers, SSSniperWolf was arrested after hitting a security guard and resisting arrest. At the age of 21, she spent two days in jail and her charges were eventually brought down to a simple misdemeanor. In 2016, she also got arrested after neighbors called police on her after a heated verbal argument with her and her then boyfriend, according to Fandom.
We have no first hand knowledge of any of this, so it may just be “fake news” but it is interesting to mention because young talented people often need to find the boundaries themselves and often cross the line when they are young only to settle in to their best work soon afterwards.
Lia started to get rich from her gaming videos as well as her online presence and consistency. The gamer continuously posted videos and just two years after she joined the YouTube platform, she received 1 million subscribers. Thanks to that, at that time, she was able to earn an estimated $2 thousand dollars per month through advertising clicks on the platform.
Also in 2015, her name was included in a heat with fellow gamer Raya (GirlGoneGamer). The two had a controversial exchange after Alia posted a video that claims Raya faked her footage in one of her Call of Duty videos.
By the end of 2015, SSSniperWolf amassed more than 2 million subscribers, a number that was doubled by the end of 2016. Around the same time, Alia’s name was once again included in controversy. She was sued by the YouTuber Enigmahood after she allegedly slandered him in one of her videos according to Fandom, however, on September 29, 2017, Enigmhahood’s defamation case against Alia was dismissed as he could not prove that her comments affected him in his local area.
SSSniperWolf continued to thrive with her popular videos.
By the end 2017, she had over 5 million subscribers and nearly 1 billion views in total.
Despite the controversies surrounding her, starting from the rivalries with GirlGoneGamer, Enigmahood, and FaZe Censor, to her appearance on Good Mythical Morning, Lia has been one of the most successful names on the video-sharing platform.
In 2019, she won a Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Award in the category “Favorite Gamer”. Among some of the many games that she has played are Overwatch, various versions of Call of Duty, Destiny, Far Cry, Minecraft, and Tom Clancy’s The Division.
The social media star first hit 10 million subscribers in July 2018, and, less than two years later, in May 2020, she hit 20 million subscribers. Her most-watched videos are Touch My Body Challenge! with 90 million views, and SPOILED LITTLE GIRL Thinks That She Owns the World with 36 million views.
