Brian Jung's entrepreneurial journey began in 2018 when, at the age of 21, he dropped out of college and started his first e-commerce side hustle, while filming and posting his journey on YouTube. 

At that time, YouTube was mostly a hobby rather than a source of income. Later, Brian recognized the long-term potential of hosting a YouTube channel and transitioned to becoming a full-time YouTuber. In 2023, the Brian Jung net worth is estimated to be $4M with YouTube as a primary source of income.  

The Brian Jung YouTube channel currently boasts over 1.47 million subscribers, providing expert insights on cryptocurrency, investing, and side hustling. It also focuses on educating viewers on financial literacy, credit cards, and debt. The channel has established strong partnerships with leading banks and exchanges, including Coinbase, American Express, Capital One, and more.

Despite his credibility gained from his main partners and large audience, Brian’s reputation and reliability have decreased significantly after the bankruptcy of FTX in 2022. In 2023, Brian Jung and a couple of other crypto influencers faced a $1 billion lawsuit, which stated that influencers were promoting FTX without disclosure of the nature and scope of their sponsorships and/or compensation.
