How Old is Philza? Learn About His Age, Net Worth, and More

Ph1lza, or Philza, is a famous YouTuber and Twitch streamer known for hardcore Minecraft gameplay. He’s a top streamer and a key player on the Dream SMP server. Fans admire his gaming skills and he’s often called the “King of Minecraft Hardcore.” People are curious about his net worth and earnings from his channels. Let’s delve into them!

Who is Philza?

Philza was born on 1st March, 1988 (35 years old). When Ph1lza was a child, he was frequently bullied by other kids. In an interview with Anthony Padilla, he talked about how some kids would push him and pull his hair. Because of this, he became hesitant to make new friends and turned to video games instead.

According to Ph1lza, he liked playing video games because they gave him a sense of control and mastery. Even though he used to take risks as a kid, he realized that he wasn’t invincible.

These early experiences might have influenced him to become cautious and hardworking as he grew up, which has probably helped him survive the longest Minecraft Hardcore playthroughs in history.

After Ph1lza became successful, he started helping his mother even more. As a special Christmas gift, he paid off their home’s mortgage and kept it a secret for a while to surprise her.

While streaming, Ph1lza made some good friends, including TommyInnit, TechnoBlade, and Wilbur Soot. The four of them formed Sleepybois.Inc and later joined the Dream SMP server together.

Ph1lza also met his wife, Kristin Rosales, through streaming. They got married in 2020 and are a happy couple.

Philza Net Worth in 2023

Philza earns most of his money from YouTube and Twitch. He also has sponsorships with various brands. He is active on other social media platforms and is well-known as a social media personality.

Based on our analysis, Philza’s estimated net worth is around $5 million. This estimation takes into account several factors.

Twitch

Philza is very active on Twitch and streams regularly. His income on Twitch comes from ads, donations, bits, and subscriptions. While we don’t know exactly how much he earns from ads, we can estimate his minimum earnings from subscriptions and donations.

According to TwitchTracker, as of February 2022, Philza has 11,838 active subscribers. Twitch takes half of a channel’s earnings and gives the other half to the streamer. However, popular streamers like Philza may negotiate for a 70/30 split, meaning Philza keeps 70% of his channel’s earnings. Based on this, we can estimate that Philza earns at least $41,350.134 from subscriptions alone, assuming all his subscribers pay for the Tier 1 subscription, which costs $4.99.

It’s possible that Philza earns more from subscribers who pay for Tier 2 and Tier 3, which cost $9.99 and $24.99, respectively.

Philza also receives tips on his Streamelements page, where fans can donate amounts ranging from £5.55 and up. Many of his top donors give £10 or more weekly.

Considering all these factors, Philza may earn anywhere between $40,000 and $60,000 on Twitch alone.

Philza’s ranking in the 2021 Twitch leak was 47th among the highest-paid Twitch streamers, earning $1,364,215.61 from August 2019 to October 2021.

YouTube

Although Philza is not as active on YouTube as on Twitch, he still earns a decent income from the platform. According to Social Blade, his estimated monthly earnings on his main YouTube channel range from $183 to $2.9k, which translates to $2.2k to $35k annually. This estimation does not include his monthly earnings from channel memberships, which start at $4.99. We are only considering his main channel, Ph1lza, for this calculation.

His secondary channel, Ph1lzaCLIPS, earns $154 to $2.5k monthly or $1.8k to $29.6k annually.

Taking all this into account, he could earn at least $337 to $5.4k monthly or $4k to $64.6k yearly from YouTube.

Sponsorships

Philza is sponsored by various brands, with GamerSupps being one of the notable sponsors. GamerSupps is an energy supplement brand owned by streamer Schlatt. This is one of Philza’s recent brand partnerships.

Philza Streaming Career

Ph1lza started his YouTube channel in 2006 and his first video was called “Ph1LzA Montage 4 PREVIEW”. At first, he made videos of different games, but in 2012, he started uploading Minecraft Hardcore videos.

Even before Twitch became popular, Ph1lza was already streaming video games on Justin.tv. Many of his YouTube videos are clips from his Twitch streams, and he still does Twitch streams today. He also creates exclusive content for YouTube, like vlogs.

Out of all the Minecraft game modes, Phil only plays in hardcore mode. In this mode, if the player dies once, they can’t come back to life, and the game world is lost forever. Phil thinks playing in hardcore mode makes everything more “important” because he knows he can lose everything in a single moment.

When Philza streamed and played his first Minecraft Hardcore mode, he only survived for a day. He said he wasn’t prepared for the night and that’s why he died. After that, he started a series of Minecraft Hardcore mode that lasted over a year, but it ended when his hard drive crashed. Then, he decided to come back to Minecraft and started a new Hardcore Mode series.

This time, Phil survived for 5 years before he was killed by a spider, helped by a baby zombie and a skeleton.

His fame rose very quickly after that. The idea of being killed by a baby zombie after surviving for many years and defeating dangerous monsters and bosses was funny and sad to many people. The video became very popular, and Philza became the subject of funny memes. He was even interviewed by the BBC and featured on Minecraft’s official YouTube channel, which brought him even more attention.

After that, Philza made a video montage of his 5-year Minecraft Hardcore Mode series, which has now been viewed over 31 million times. At the time of the event, he only had a few thousand subscribers on YouTube and Twitch, but this “failure” brought him more and more fans, and now he is one of the biggest Minecraft streamers in the world.

Conclusion

Philza’s story shows that failures aren’t always bad. “Game Overs” can be the beginning of a bigger adventure. Philza’s perma-death and the loss of his hard work led to his success. Despite being a highly successful streamer, he remains humble, earning respect from fans, friends, family, and the gaming community.
