Imagine 10 billion views on YouTube. Gamer PewDiePie's channel has managed just that.

Twenty-five-year-old Felix, who goes by PewDiePie on YouTube, started his channel in 2010. In the five years since, he broke milestones and set new ones. Before the latest achievement, his channel beat Rihanna's to amass 39 million subscribers. IB Times reports that the Swedish gamer is the first to gross 10 billion views, 2.2 billion more than the channel with second most number of views. In the last five years, the gamer has uploaded 2,475 videos at least one video a day. On average, his channel gets 64 views per second.

Kjellberg shared his channel's latest success with followers on Twitter. With this feat, his worth has become the talk of the town yet again. The gamer is said to have made $ 7.5 million last year and generated over $ 4 million in ad sales.

Kjellberg however is known to be uncomfortable with discussing money and earnings.

"Money is a topic that I purposefully tried to avoid for the five years I've been making videos. I just feel like it's not important to anyone. I just want to make entertaining videos," Gamespot quoted the gamer.

"Whenever it comes out how much I made a certain year, people just get so shocked. A lot of people were also very angry. They thought it was unfair. They thought I just sit on my ass and I yell at the screen over here--which is true--but there's so much more to it than that," he said.
