      Inside the Sidemen’s side hustles making them millions away from YouTube from property mogul to merchandise sales

      by

      THE SIDEMEN are a collection of Britain’s seven biggest YouTube stars. Across their channels, viral sensations KSI, Miniminter, Vikkstar123, Zerkaa, Behzinga, W2S and TBJZL have built up a huge fan base of over 130million subscribers.

      Thanks to this, the group have a net worth of over £44million.
      But their fortune does not only come from YouTube, though ad revenue on the site does reportedly bring in at least £1.6m a year.
      The business savvy Sidemen have also dipped their toes into a host of other projects.
      One branch of this merchandising is through clothing.

      Clothing is estimated to bring in up to £1.6m.
      And it is not hard to see why, with Sidemen branded T-shirts reaching up £30, hoodies reaching £60 and jackets reaching as high as £90.
      Accessories are also an easy sale tap.
      Fans can buy a variety of goods, with a key ring fetching £5 while a “XIX Silver Chain” will cost £30.

      Airpod cases, water bottles, phone cases, bucket hats, backpacks and even a basketball and table tennis set are among the other items fans can treat themselves too.
      However, clothing is far from the last thing in the Sidemen portfolio.
      Property is a huge part of a number of their collections too, with Miniminter and Vikkstar123 having a particularly large stake of their wealth in various properties.
      Indeed, fans get literally sink their teeth into some tasty treats thanks to the groups very own fast food chain, Sides.
      While KSI and Logan Paul have taken the world by storm by their PRIME Hydration drink – making Alisha Lehmann the latest big name star to join the crew – Sides is at a far smaller stage of development.
      Last year they announced a stunning partnership with Farnham Town FC – who currently play in the ninth tier of English football.

      The chain has a host of restaurants across England and South Wales, including BOXPARK Croydon and Wembley in London, Brighton, Birmingham, Manchester and Sunderland.
      Given they have been around for a decade now, they have also added XIX Vodka to their portfolio to appeal to their older demographic of fans.
      For book worms there is also the Sidemen Book, estimated to have sold over 26,000 copies within its first three days of publication back in 2016.
      This remarkably put them at No1 ahead of chef Jamie Oliver and the autobiography of former motorcycle rider Guy Martin in the Christmas book charts.
      There is also a subscription service called Side+ for exclusive content not posted elsewhere.

      A membership for this sets fans back £6.99 a month or £69.99 for an annual payment.
      All eyes will be on them and their friends when the Sidemen Charity Match gets underway this Saturday. More

      “I have never had a scout watch me play, I know I am not good enough now at all, but at school level I never had a scout watch me play.
      “The scout that watched Jonathan Bond play that game he watched we had a club and school tournament on the same day.
      “We had me, Jonathan Bond and two other mates that played for the club and the school.
      “The club and school came together because they were both big occasions and agreed to take two each.
      “Me and one of my mates played for the club and then the other played for the school.
      “Jonathan Bond got scouted there as well as another game, but my thing is I wish I was there so I would known I would not have been scouted.
      “Now it is like, what if I played that game, I know I was not good enough, but what if I played.
      “I wish I had played that game so I knew.”

      I’m an ex-Man Utd and England star, the Sidemen stars ‘absolutely killed’ me when we played against each other

      by

      BEN FOSTER was left stunned when he faced off against two Sidemen Charity Match stars. The former Manchester United and England goalkeeper paired up with FIFA YouTuber’s Chris MD and Miniminter for a free-kick challenge in 2021.

      The video, shared to Foster’s The Cycling GK social media pages, saw him face ten shots (five from each) from various shooting positions outside of the penalty area with a wall in place.
      Chris MD, who has almost six million subscribers on YouTube, stepped up to take first, with Miniminter – who has over ten million subs – taking second.
      And to everyone’s surprise, Chris buried a shot into the top corner leaving the then Watford goalkeeper on the floor in shock.
      Foster, 40, made sure to get his own back by stopping the next six shots from going into the net.

      However, he was powerless to stop Miniminter’s fourth shot which curled around the wall and into the bottom corner with Foster rooted to the spot.
      The goalie found himself conceding again straight away as Chris buried a free-kick into the top right corner despite Foster getting a hand to it.
      After the goal Foster joked: “I am in the middle of off-season. I haven’t trained or caught a ball.
      “It’s probably been about six weeks or something so far so its understandable really, to be fair.”

      The final shot of the video went wide from Miniminter, but Foster was still in disbelief at the quality he had been put up against.
      He said: “I fully expected no goals there. And you’ve absolutely killed me.
      “Standard was incredible, I’m proud of you both. Well done.”
      Foster has collaborated with other YouTube stars in recent years, and it would be far from surprising to see him do it again following his shock retirement at Wrexham last month.
      In the meantime, both Miniminter and Chris MD will be in action during this Saturday’s Sidemen Charity Match.
      After the success of last year’s game which raised £1million for charity and was streamed 34 million times, organisers have gone bigger and bolder.
      This time around the match is being held at West Ham’s London Stadium – which has sold out it’s 62,000 seat allocation.
      It include huge viral stars including KSI, IShowSpeed, Theo Baker and Kai Cenat. More

      I’m an ex-Arsenal star and played FIFA with KSI – millions watched it and he’s now worth £20m but I didn’t earn a penny

      EMMANUEL FRIMPONG has claimed he was not paid for collaborating with internet sensation KSI. The ex-Arsenal midfielder starred in a number of videos on KSI’s YouTube channel in the early 2010s.

      The videos saw them face off with each other in a number of videos on the FIFA video game series – re-branded this year to EA Sports FC.
      Speaking to BettingSites.co.uk about the link-up, Frimpong said: ” I did make videos with KSI around 12 years ago, when he was coming up in the YouTube scene, and now he’s done very well for himself.
      “We don’t talk because we’re not close friends but follow each other on social media because we have previously worked together.
      “If I did message him, I think he would be humble enough to message me back, but we have nothing to talk about!
      READ MORE ON SIDEMEN
      “I congratulate him and wish him even more success because what he’s done and where he has come from is amazing.”
      YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI has amassed a huge following online, with more than 40million fans across his YouTube channels and nearly 34m on other major social media.
      His popularity has also helped him obtain a sizeable fortune, with the 30-year-old estimated to be worth a whopping £20m.
      However, Frimpong, 31, has revealed he was not paid for his appearances in some of the vids, despite them being watched by millions of people.

      He added: “KSI didn’t pay me for the last couple of FIFA videos I did with him years ago, so I might have to give him a message and ask for it now!
      “I always looked to work with people who were talented like KSI, but I don’t think we can have another round of FIFA because he’s moved on from that type of content.”
      Frimpong made 16 appearances for Arsenal after emerging from the club’s academy.
      He would go on to leave in 2014 following loan transfers to Charlton, Fulham and Barnsley, before retiring in 2018 due to a persistent knee injury.
      KSI, despite building his name from gaming in his bedroom as a teen, is now just as well known for his exploits into music, films, influencer boxing and business ventures such as PRIME Hydration.
      KSI is lined up to fight Love Island star Tommy Fury on October 14.
      But before that he is due to star in the Sidemen Charity Match on Saturday.
      Last year saw a 15-goal thriller at Charlton’s The Valley which raised an incredible £1m for charities.
      And this year they are hoping to top that, upgrading their venue to West Ham’s London Stadium which sold out it’s 62,000 allocation.
