PewDiePie has told fans that he will end his Japan-based family vlogs later this year, saying he and his wife, Marzia, want to protect the privacy of their three-year-old son, Björn, as he grows up, even as his YouTube success has left him with an estimated net worth of around $45 million.
The 34-year-old creator, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, made the announcement in a recent video to his more than 100 million subscribers, explaining that his child's increasingly visible role in their uploads had forced a rethink.
