YouTube superstar Jenna Marbles has over 16
million YouTube subscribers, making her one
of the most popular personalities on the internet.
But while Jenna seems to share every detail
of her life on YouTube videos, there are actually
quite a few things she keeps out as well.
Here's a look at some facts you may not know
about Jenna Marbles.
She started in 2010
Back in February 2010, Jenna posted her first
video to YouTube, titled "Charles Franklin
Marbles Is a Sad, Sad Man," which has well
over a 1.5 million views.
Since then, Jenna has uploaded hundreds of
videos on her channel: almost all of them
have over a million views, with dozens topping
the 15 million mark.
Her most popular video — the viral hit "How
to trick people into thinking you're good
looking" — has racked up over 65 million
hits since she posted it in July 2010.
"Don't forget your hoochi lipstick."
"I like this one, because it makes me look
like a streetwalker."
No wonder she's been dubbed "The Queen of
YouTube."
"The amount of people that have found it entertaining
is ridiculous."
She led a pretty normal life before she exploded
on YouTube
You know her as Jenna Marbles, but she was
born Jenna Mourey on September 15, 1986 in
Rochester, New York.
The day she published the video that changed
her life, Jenna was living in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
working multiple part-time gigs, including
as a go-go dancer, to scrounge together enough
to pay her $800 rent.
She told the New York Times that "My life
was a hot, hot, hot mess."
"I hate being a grownup.
I'm gonna light my bills on fire."
TV and movies
That's right, "YouTube star" isn't the only
thing on Jenna Marbles' resume.
According to her IMDB page, Marbles has 13
acting credits to her name, including Smosh
Babies and the mini-series HeyUSA.
She's also appeared on the silver screen twice,
in Road Hard and Natural Born Pranksters.
She's got multiple college degrees
After attending high school in her hometown
Jenna moved to Boston to attend Suffolk University,
where she earned a B.S. in psychology.
And she didn't stop there.
"Ya I do.
I have a Master's Degree from Boston University.
Sports Psychology."
It was quite a change from how she felt growing
up.
"I was really sad in 7th grade, because I
realized that everyone in my school was really
smart and that made you cool, and I was sort of just regular, and I took regular classes,
and sort of felt like I didn't fit in."
She's worth... a lot
It's almost impossible to know how much any
YouTube star is making, but by all accounts,
Jenna Marbles is doing pretty darn well for
herself.
"Since the most important things in life are
how much money you make, how other people
perceive you, and your status in society,
I'm gonna talk about how to trick people into
thinking you're rich."
Forbes analyzed Youtube Analytics data and
came to the conclusion that: "By most estimates,
her income is well into the six figures, and
possibly as high as several million dollars."
And according to her 2013 interview with The
New York Times, she was renting a house in
Santa Monica at the time worth $1.1 million.
She's since moved to a home that's even bigger,
so keep working on those viral videos, kids!
Soft spot for dogs
Jenna is the proud owner of three pups: a
pair of Italian greyhounds named Kermit and
Peach, and a Chihuahua named Mr. Marbles,
who inspired her internet pseudonym.
"So this big silver unicorn this is Kermit,
and this little one, this is Marbles.
And these are my dogs!"
One or more of her dogs tend to make an appearance
in her videos and are celebrities in their
own right: Jenna produces and sells her own
brand of dog toys that look just like her
own pets called Kermie Worm & Mr. Marbles.
"Now you can buy a whole litter!
3 Kermits, 3 Marbles, and you can give one
to your baby sitter, one to your dog, and
then wear the rest as hats to your birthday
party.
The Kermie Worm and Marble toys are 100% safe
for actual dogs and cats."
