Before all the fame, Vitaly served as a garbage collector, busboy, adult film actor, and sign spinner. He currently has over 12 million subscribers in both of his channels with billions of views combined. What made him famous? Let’s recap.
YouTube Career
Vitaly started building his YouTube career in 2012. He regularly uploaded pranks in public which gained him fame and notoriety. He was behind the Miami Zombie Attack Prank, inspired by the zombie man attack in Florida. Vitaly further gained popularity when he pulled off the “Russian Hitman Prank”. Vitaly earned a 15-year imprisonment charge for this stunt. During this time, his subscriber count shot up from 100,000 to 4 million in one year.

A fearless content creator sometimes plays with the line that divides the unlawful from the rest. Vitaly was arrested multiple times during his career. He streaked in professional sports games and trespassed national monuments. Just this year alone, he was arrested twice. One for climbing the pyramids of Giza, the other one for allegedly beating up a woman.
Vitaly Uncensored
Late in 2019, he was in talks to halt his YouTube career to make way for his adult site, Vitaly Uncensored. According to him, it contains explicit content which is way too much for YouTube.
In a 2019 Impaulsive Podcast with Logan Paul, Vitaly mentioned that the site has over “100,000 subscriptions making close to $500,000 a month.” Since then, the site has grown exponentially, possibly bringing in over 8 figures annually.
With a huge following from YouTube, it’s not improbable for him to rake in such amounts of money. Check out his channel to watch his past videos. If you want to see more stories like these, read here how these YouTubers went from homeless to six-figure entrepreneurs.
