I'm the richest man in the world!

With over 3 million subscribers on YouTube, his most popular video, where he dresses up his dog as a spider in order to scare bypassers, stands as one of the most viewed videos on YouTube with over 141 million views. His videos remain viral thanks to TV-like production with regards to the ideas, makeup and various camera angles. WBJ Observer had a chance to talk to prominent YouTube prankster Sylwester Adam Wardęga, better known as SA Wardega, during the Orange Video Fest by LifeTube WBJ Observer: When you started making these videos, did you ever think you would get as big as you are now? Being able to make a living out of pranking people? Sylwester A. Wardęga: I thought it was going to be something, but I didn’t know it was going to be so huge. I thought that maybe someday it would turn into something I could do everyday and provide for myself, but I didn’t know that because of my pranks I would live the life I live right now. Which gives me a lot joy and a lot of money. I’m the richest man in the world! Do you get a lot of help with your videos? Or are you more of a loner hiring extras when needed? From the beginning, I always worked with a high school friend who has always been my camera guy, but the ideas have always been mine. When it comes to the makeup, it’s also my thing. Do you ever worry that you are too dependent on YouTube? I know you are already on a few TV shows, but do you think your career can last as long as any other career? Our life depends on YouTube, if YouTube fails our lives no longer exist. Other YouTubers have developed different companies that are based on their YouTube fame but they can sustain themselves, like clothing lines and makeup lines.
