Earlier this week, a British teen hit the headlines after being banned on Fortnite for cheating.
Jarvis Kaye, known as FaZe Jarvis, broadcast a video of him using ‘aimbots’ - a tactic that is banned on Fortnite - to his two million YouTube subscribers.
Epic Games, the developer behind Fortnite, immediately banned Jarvis from the game, sparking a fierce debate of whether cheating should result in a permanent ban.
Now, it’s been revealed that Jarvis lives in a £11.6 million mansion in the Hollywood HIlls, alongside his gamer teammates, dubbed the FaZe Clan.
A video posted on YouTube last year by the FaZe Clan gave viewers an ‘official house tour’ of the mansion, which overlooks Los Angeles.
Key features include 10 bedrooms, a private cinema, swimming pool , private gym and even a stripper pole.
Jarvis moved into the mansion from his Surrey family home in 2018, announcing the move in a blog to his two million YouTube subscribers.
He said: “Now that I'm in FaZe and I actually officially live here, I've got a room now.”
His room also has some swanky features, including an en-suite bathroom, mini-fridge, and impressive computer set up for all his gaming.
The news comes shortly after it was revealed that Jarvis made £20,000 from his apology video, in which he grovelled to fans about his Fortnite cheating.
A spokesman for The Fifth, a marketing and talent agency, said: "A safe guess is between the two figures $25,000 and $36,000 (£19,000 and £28,000)."
"This could be way higher, closer to $50,000 (£39,000), however we don't have access to things like video retention, geography, quality of viewers etc," he told The Sun .
And influencer marketing agency Pro Seeders agreed Jarvis almost certainly made huge sums of money from the clip.
"This video would've achieved $15,000 to $20,000 (£11,500 to £15,500) ad revenue."
