Sneako is a controversial content creator known for his polarizing, ‘anti-woke’ views. He gained prominence through social commentary and lifestyle content on YouTube, amassing over two million subscribers across two channels, ‘SNEAKO’ and ‘SHNEAKO.’ However, he was banned from YouTube and Twitch due to increasingly controversial outbursts. Today, we will uncover Sneako’s net worth and trace back the sources of his wealth. 

Who is Sneako?

Sneako, whose real name is Nico Kenn De Balinthazy, is an online content creator and streamer known for his lifestyle content, sociopolitical commentary, and controversial views often labeled ‘alt-right.’ He received more than 2,000,000 subscribers on YouTube before his account was terminated. 

Born in 1998, Sneako started his online career in 2013 by posting videos of himself playing Call of Duty on YouTube. He accompanied the gameplay with various commentary, eventually dropping gaming and focusing entirely on commentary and lifestyle content.

The content that made Sneako famous included motivational videos, the Internet Rant series, various street interviews, and One Minute Podcast, where he introduced his hot takes and polarizing sociopolitical commentary.

Over the years, Sneako exhibited increasingly conservative and controversial ideas that were often labeled as misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and ‘red-pilled.’ He is frequently associated with Andrew Tate, Tristan Tate, Kanye ‘Ye’ West, and Nick Fuentes. 

His YouTube accounts were terminated in October 2022, after which he opened a Twitch account that was active for two days only before he received a ban. Upon these terminations, he transitioned to Rumble, where he has amassed 400,000 followers. 

Sneako’s net worth

There is no precise information on Sneako’s wealth, with various sources claiming different numbers. YouTubers.me estimated his 2022 wealth to be between $500K and $1 million, while Net Worth Spot puts the figure at about $519,780. As there is no public data on the online creator’s finances, sources can only provide rough estimates.

Sneako on his net worth

While guesting on Ahmad Mahmood Show, Sneako stated that his net worth is around $1 million. The number is potentially higher due to his majority stake in The Creativity Kit, which provides courses in online content creation. 

Sneako’s YouTube career

Sneako started his YouTube in 2013, at the age of 15, by uploading Call of Duty gameplay accompanied by social commentary. Ultimately, he would quit gaming to focus entirely on social, lifestyle, and political issues. His video Would You Say the N-Word for 1 Dollar turned him viral, and he made similar experiments called Is It Okay To Be Fat and Why Men and Women Aren’t Equal.

Sneako has drawn ire from the left due to his conservative ideas, such as anti-feminism, and maintaining that there are only two genders. He has also frequently been accused of homophobia and transphobia. Furthermore, he has converted to Islam in 2023, claiming it ‘resists wokeness.’

On his secondary channel, ‘SHNEAKO,’ Sneako embraced conspiracy theories promoted by figures like Andrew Tate and Kanye West. Ultimately, even the U.S. Senate stated that Sneako promoted ‘hateful, dangerous, and extremist content.’

On October 3, 2022, YouTube terminated both his channels due to repeated violations of its terms of service. 

Sneako’s other business ventures

After being banned from YouTube, Sneako tried switching to Twitch but was also banned from that platform within two days. Since then, he has been uploading on Rumble, but with only 399,000 subscribers, he is much less popular than before.

Sneako is a member of Kanye West’s presidential campaign team. The collaboration was turbulent, as he was fired from the team in 2023 due to ‘creative differences’ (notably collaboration with far-right figures like Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos). That said, he rejoined the team in December 2023. 

In 2022, Sneako teamed up with other influencers to launch The Creativity Kit, a platform that provides courses on the basics of digital content creation. In his own words, his stake in the courses significantly contributes to Sneako’s net worth.

Additionally, Sneako had a cameo role in the film Unsubscribe

Sneako’s Controversies

During his career, Sneako has witnessed a fair share of controversy.

In 2020, he endorsed Cuties, a film commonly accused of sexualizing children. The ensuing backlash would haunt the creator throughout his many online beefs.

Sneako and MrBeast

Sneako developed an online friendship with MrBeast, culminating in Sneako working in MrBeast’s team. However, the relationship quickly broke, and Sneako posted a video titled ‘MrBeast Exposed.’ The video was deleted within minutes, but the damage was done. Sneako has repeatedly expressed regrets over the falling out.

In 2019, Sneako revealed that he engaged in an open relationship and attended swinger parties. This led to numerous rival creators calling him a ‘cuck.’ The creator later expressed regret for engaging in the controversial practice.

Among his collaborators, Sneako is heavily engaged with the Tate Brothers. Critics point out that much of his views, including his conversion to Islam, are influenced by Andrew Tate and his belligerent and misogynist rhetoric. Additionally, Sneako appeared on Emergency Meeting, a podcast run by the Tates. Furthermore, upon their arrest in Romania, Sneako adamantly upheld that the brothers were innocent despite mounting evidence.

Sneako has also acquired a reputation for calling out his rivals and fellow creators and challenging them for fights in a ring. However, in February 2024, he bit more than he can chew by sparring with Sean Strickland, a UFC fighter.

The UFC middleweight champion was brutal and continued pummeling Sneako despite multiple towel throws. However, the streamer remained on his feet throughout the ordeal, and the event received significant coverage, including from Joe Rogan
