In the video, shared by Sidemen member Jack Manifold on X on March 25, 2026, Azelart made a big claim. He said he earned $1.2 million from just one YouTube video. The moment comes during a conversation with KSI in the episode, which is now streaming on Netflix.In the clip, KSI directly asked about the earnings from his biggest video. Azelart gave a short but surprising reply. “Uh, $1.2 million.” That one line quickly caught attention online. Fans were shocked, and many started looking him up to understand how he built such a large platform and income from content creation.
Ben Azelart explains his journey from skateboarding kid to YouTube creator with millions of followers
So, who exactly is Ben Azelart? The 24-year-old creator has built a massive audience over the years. He has more than 49 million subscribers on YouTube and millions more across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. But his journey did not start with big numbers.Azelart grew up in Hawaii and started as a competitive skateboarder at the age of nine. He used to post his tricks online, which slowly helped him learn filming and editing. That early habit later became the base of his content career.He launched his YouTube channel on June 5, 2014. In the beginning, his videos were simple. Mostly skate content and daily life moments. Over time, his style changed. He moved into fast-paced challenge videos, pranks, and adventure content. That shift helped him grow faster and reach a global audience.Interestingly, even with his current success, Azelart has always said his journey was not about one viral moment. In an earlier appearance on The HJR Podcast, hosted by Harrison J Rogers, he explained this clearly.“Uh, there wasn’t ever actually a singular video that did any kind of blow-up moment for me,” he said. “Some people do it off of a video, some people do it off of a few videos. I never had like a moment where it was overnight just insanity.”He also spoke about how slow growth actually helped him stay balanced. “It definitely was a slow build, you know, slowly but surely, which I actually I’m glad that happened,” he said. “Doing that all overnight is, I think, unhealthy.”Now, with this new claim from Sidemen Inside, his name is again trending. Whether it is the $1.2 million figure or his long journey, one thing is clear. Azelart’s story is not just about one video. It is about years of consistent work finally paying off.
