How YourRAGE Spent His First $1,000,000

COVID hit, I kind of jumped from, like,

10, 15k month to, outta of nowhere, like, 100,000 a month,

and I'm like, What the heck is even going on?

[bright rhythmic music]

[screen chiming]

I'm YourRAGE, and this is my first million.

[screen whooshing softly] First expense,

20,000

[money thudding] [cash register chiming]

on student loans.

[graphic zapping] Yep.

I got accepted to quite a few colleges in South Florida,

all around Florida, actually, but I couldn't afford 'em.

Fast food wasn't messing with me,

so I had to pull some loans out.

I was paying out of pocket here and there,

working at Bed Bath and Beyond, UPS,

working with my mom, even.

She couldn't afford an assistant,

so we were going around ALFs, nursing homes,

helping patients out.

She was paying me a little bit below minimum wage,

but I was getting free food after every shift,

so it was cool.

[bright rhythmic music] [screen chiming]

2017, my sophomore year in college,

that's when my YouTube started picking up

around little 2,000 a month,

so I was throwing in that help pay off semesters,

but them student loans racked up,

but I made sure that was the first thing I paid off,

'cause I don't want to have that in the back of my mind.

Bills up, mm-mm, nah.

Student loans, got 'em outta here.

The next thing I bought was a house.

[money thudding] [cash register chiming]

350,000 down payment. [graphic zapping]

I had to.

Couldn't live with Mama no more.

Everybody in my community knows when I was

on my ghetto setup, no face cam, nothing,

everybody knew me to be the guy

who makes $100 a month 'cause I was broke.

It is what it is, I was in college, right?

But I told them I would tweet out the money bag emoji

on Twitter the day I hit a million dollars

in my bank account, and I tweeted it in 2021,

like, literally two months before I bought my house.

My first house, 350,000 down payment, kind of stupid.

Not really, but hear me out.

I love dogs, I love animals, so I need a lot of land.

I'm also weird, I like unique things,

so of course, I gotta get a unique house.

No unique house with a lot of land for my dogs and my pets

is gonna be cheap.

I still live there,

so one of the houses I currently live in,

I don't think I could ever sell it.

It got a special place in my heart, can't do it.

My previous house with my mom and my sister

had a room for me, my mom, and my sister.

Two, three bath, not too bad, right?

Got two, three bathrooms.

The house now, five, six bathrooms, like, five bathrooms,

courtyard, pool, basketball court, backyard, guest house.

It sounds like I'm flexing, sounds like I'm bragging,

but like, you asked me the question, so yeah.

Third big payment,

[money thudding] [cash register chiming]

The car, $150,000.

[graphic zapping]

BMW M8 Competition, still have it to this day.

I bought it in cash, every car I bought

from now on was, like, cash.

The first thing anybody asks, especially, like, back then,

I looked way younger than I did now,

didn't really have the beard growing out.

How the beard look like?

First thing they ask is, like, What do you do?

You know, What, are you a rapper or something?

Like, Nah, I sit in front of the camera and yap.

I just yap, for I'm a Twitch streamer.

They're like, What?

How do you get paid by that?

I don't know, I just do it, that's it.

This is my favorite car still to this day,

maybe 'cause it's my first real baby.

Nobody's allowed to drive it, nobody's ever driven it.

[music thumping] I lied.

One time, I woke up, and my roommate had told me,

my best friend,

he told me I had to move my car out the driveway

'cause they were paving it.

I deadass rolled out and about fell to my knees,

I felt depressed.

It felt like somebody, like, had sex

with my girlfriend, bro,

like, I felt weird, is that weird?

That's not weird, right?

Like, somebody driving your baby, that's not weird,

but yeah, that's my baby.

My next big purchase,

[money thumping] my baby girl, Cora,

my second dog, $25,000. [graphic zapping]

My first dog, Creed, was 10,000,

but that was before I got my first mil,

so, we ain't gonna talk about that.

Cora, yes, people are probably like,

What the hell are you doing spending $25,000 on a dog?

I don't know, like, there are XXL pit bulls,

or bullies, some may say, get up to like 140,

like Creed is, like, 150 pounds right now.

Cora was my girl.

They might have bred a few times,

but that's not the full amount I spent on dogs.

I spent probably, like, $65,000 in the last, like,

three, four years on dogs.

I love them, I don't care,

and people may call me crazy, but it's worth it.

The temperament, they're beautiful, the size, the loyalty.

I just love my dogs, I love dogs.

[Interviewer] What year is this?

How much were you making a month?

This is still 2021, like, the fall.

Damn, my chat's gonna be mad, 'cause I was lying.

Chat, I'm sorry, I was telling you

I was making 100 dollars a month, I lied, I lied.

I told you I saved for, I lied.

So at that time, it's solely crept up

from, like I said, 2000 a month.

One day, it was like, 5,000 a month, 10,000.

COVID hit.

All y'all were forced to watch me.

Y'all were forced to watch me.

I'm not saying, thank you, COVID,

it was a terrible time in history,

but [scoffs],

you know what I'm saying? [music thumping]

I kind of jumped from, like, 10, 15k a month

to, outta nowhere, like, 100,000 a month

between YouTube and Twitch together,

and I'm like, What the heck is even going on, bro?

Like, what is going on?

Yeah, I couldn't believe it.

[rhythmic music continues] [screen whooshing]

Next big purchase,

[money thudding] my mama's house.

[cash register chiming] 100,000 dollars.

I did not buy her a new house,

but more so I paid off the rest of her house,

'cause she did not wanna move, she loved that house.

That's where she raised me and my sister as a single mother.

She really did not want me to, my mom, like, trust me,

I offered to pay her student loans,

everything at this time.

She did not want me to spend any money on her,

like, she wanted me to enjoy my money at the time,

but a situation was going on where she could

have potentially lost the house.

I was like, That's not gonna happen.

My sister lives there, my mom lives there,

nobody's taking the house,

so I just paid it off, so there was no issues,

and she was very thankful for that.

Probably the second time in my life

where I seen my mom cry, she kind of made me cry.

Love you, Mama.

[screen whooshing] [rhythmic music]

[screen clicking and zapping]

[screen snapping]

Next big purchase,

[money thudding] [graphic zapping]

another $100,000

[screen whooshing] [cash register chiming]

on this bad boy right here.

It says, YRG, has my face on it right here.

Okay, a lot of people don't know what YRG stands for,

but it's my community.

My community name is YRG, my name is YourRAGE,

so people just think it's an acronym for YourRAGE,

but it stands for

YourRAGE Gang. [text buzzing]

[rhythmic music continues]

Hear me out, not any thug activities, of course,

just as, like, a family.

I was young, okay? [music thumping]

It's cringe, I know, but I was young,

and yeah, this is my mom's biggest fear.

I told myself I will never buy a chain,

like, I'm not gonna buy jewelry.

Like, my mom had to instilled in my brain,

like, I don't need no jewelry, bro,

I'm gonna be one of those plain Janes,

nice suit, nice cologne, you know, classy.

My friends, okay?

Listen, Silky.

Part of our group right now, in FaZe,

kind of got us into jewelry.

We said, Nah.

Months later, we all got chains.

We was a friend group, we all got chains, bro.

It's kind of cute.

I wouldn't say I was coerced to getting a chain.

It just kind of grew on me.

I kind of, you know, it kind of grew.

I liked it when I was younger, kind of got out of it,

but it got put back in me because of you, Silky.

This is your fault.

I like jewelry again 'cause of you.

[rhythmic music]

[screen whooshing]

[Interviewer] Did you buy it for the face reveal,

you know? You know about

the face reveal?

He's a knower, he was in chat, like, this dude's a knower.

Yeah, I was streaming and doing YouTube for years

without face cam at all,

like, not showing my face. [screen fizzing]

I got a million subscribers without showing my face,

got a million dollars without showing my face,

[screen fizzing] a million followers

on Twitch without showing my face,

but once I got a million everywhere,

that's when I did the face reveal.

I got the chain after that, the chain was in 2022.

Okay, that was 2022, not 2021.

Wait, maybe I did get the chain for the face reveal?

It was around the same time, but it wasn't for it,

it just happened to be around the same time.

It wasn't for it, I promise you it wasn't for it,

it was just around the same time.

[bright rhythmic music] [screen whooshing]

[screen clicking and zapping]

[screen snapping] I bought my sister a car,

[money thudding] $35,000.

[cash register chiming] [screen whooshing]

She was going off to college, okay?

I couldn't let my sister hitch around in Ubers all the time.

Had to get her a car for school purposes only, okay?

No boys.

To this day, don't care, no boys.

Yes, I know you're 21 now, 22,

whatever the heck you are now, don't care, no boys.

If I see a boy in that car, I'm taking it back.

My name is on it, remember that, I'm taking it back.

It was a Camry, but listen, the Camrys look nice now.

It was packaged, had some whims on it.

She don't need no BMW or anything,

she's just commuting to college, right?

100,000 [money thudding]

[graphic zapping] on a gym.

[cash register chiming]

People would always ask me, If you could own

or do something besides, like, what would you do?

Own a gym.

I love basketball, I love working out,

I love helping other people achieve their goals,

so what better than to own a gym?

If I was training, I'd be the best on YouTube right now.

I'm the best on Twitch right now, and I have a bum knee.

[Interviewer] Have you played Duke?

I haven't played Duke.

Why'd you bring up, why everybody bring up Duke?

Why Duke? [palms thumping]

You coulda said Friga, Cam Wilder, FlightReacts.

I beat CashNasty, though.

CashNasty, yeah, you pulled up on me without me knowing

with this chain on, jeans, and a sweater,

and you got skunked, buddy,

so yeah, and you were on my meat for years,

asking for the 1v1, I gave it to you,

and, you know, it's gonna happen

to everybody else eventually.

Expenses, about 50k

on family and friends. [money thudding]

I love my support group, [graphic buzzing]

I love my family and friends,

'cause they really, even though they knew I was getting it,

they never asked for anything.

I mean, I kind of get mad at them about that,

because what is the point of me having money?

Like, the biggest reason why I want money,

if somebody in my family needs help, or friends need help,

I wanna be able to help them, you know?

I know how it feels to be comfortable,

not worried about bills, like,

I want to be able to help my friends

and family in the same way.

A lot of medical bills, funerals,

about 50k in that first million I spent.

Yeah, about 50.

[rhythmic music continues]

[screen clicking and zapping]

[screen snapping]

Next investment, something light,

20,000

[money thudding] into tech-heavy ETFs.

What is a ETF?

Exchange, exchange...

I don't remember, bro.

It was my accountant helped me out with that.

He said that would be a smart idea, so I did it, okay?

But Exchange Traded Fund, yes, Exchange Traded Fund, yes.

We ain't gonna talk about the crypto and all that,

that's not important.

When did I get a money person?

I got a money person when I met my dear friend, Kai Cenat.

Love him to death.

We got the same money person, let's just say that.

We got the same money person.

She's great, she's amazing.

[music thumping] I know this looks

crazy right now, like this dude is dumb.

I wasn't letting my account go below, like,

I'm not spending anything that I don't know I'll have, like,

double, or triple, or quadruple of that.

I'm never letting my account reach below, like, a mil.

Like, I'm just not, okay?

So, it looks kind of ignorant,

but I know what I'm doing, a little bit.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

Trust me, believe me.

[screen whooshing] [rhythmic music]

[screen clicking and zapping]

[screen snapping]

50,000 [graphic buzzing]

[cash register chiming] to a separate IRA,

just a little retirement fund for people

who own their own business, you know?

50k a year, I throw into that.

In case the internet turn off,

I get robbed, all my money's gone,

I got a little something somewhere, you know?

[screen whooshing] [rhythmic music continues]

I don't really know what's next.

I'm gonna live in the present,

a little bit in the future type of guy

when it comes to spending large sums of money,

but I don't know what's next.

Another damn car, my Cybertruck is about to explode, bro.

I turned it on the other day, red flashing lights,

critical error, what the heck is going on?

Probably just real estate and stuff like that,

more investments that I didn't even get to talk about today,

'cause again, this is my first million,

making sure everybody around me is great.

Hooked my manager up for his birthday,

got him a little cute, you know what I'm saying?

[screen whooshing] The next money bag

I tweet out has to be 100 Ms, 100 million.

That's a good goal, right?

That's a pretty good goal.

[Interviewer] I mean Mark Cuban came through

with a billion.

Yo, mark, look, I heard you did a first billion,

maybe we could work something out?

Help me turn this into a billion.

You help me, I help you, get you on a streaming.

He doesn't care about me, he does not care, bro.

Maybe one day, I'll reach that bill,

but I'm cool for right now.
