Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg (/ˈʃɛlbɜːrɡ/ SHEL-burg,Swedish: [ˈfeːlɪks ˈɕɛlˈbærj]; born on 24 October 1989), better known by his online alias PewDiePie (/ˈpjuːdipaɪ/ PEW-dee-py), is a Swedish web-based comedian and video producer, best known for his Let's Play commentaries and vlogs on YouTube.
Born in Gothenburg, Sweden, PewDiePie originally pursued a degree in industrial economics and technology management at Chalmers University of Technology. In 2010, during his time at the university, he registered a YouTube account under the name PewDiePie. The following year, he dropped out of Chalmers to focus on his YouTube channel, much to the dismay of his parents. Having been refused support from them, PewDiePie began working at a hot dog stand to fund his videos. PewDiePie soon gathered a rapidly increasing online following, and in July 2012, his channel surpassed one million subscribers.
