When you first hear the name Angry Joe, expect to meet a man named Joe with an angry face who screams at every opportunity and drinks a lot of water in his videos to stay cool. Rather than that, Joe has become popular among YouTube viewers, the video game community, movie fans, and more for his excellent commentary skills and excellent and sometimes angry reviews of game and movie trailers.
He is very popular for his YouTube channel TheAngry Joe Show where he reviews games and gives angry trailer reviews for movies. In his various productions, he takes the character of Angry Joe and makes a parody of games.
Who is Angry Joe (Joe Vargas) – The YouTuber?
Even though the YouTuber became popular on all platforms under the name Angry Joe, it was as Jose Antonio Vargas (Joe Vargas) that he was born on June 18, 1984 in Austin, Texas.
Like many other YouTubers, Joe has kept his family life and the way he was raised almost completely away from the public eye.
It was in 2008 that he started his YouTube channel The Angry Joe Show with the video Shit That Pisses Me Off – Madden 2009 Hardcore Gamers. Since then, he has continued to build the channel, which as of 2019 has over 3 million subscribers and nearly 950 million views. Most of his videos have been viewed by millions.
Others who have been on The Angry Joe Show include “the other” Joe (Joe Lopez), Vargas’ friend from school and Jacob’s. The trio form the “Tres Amigos”. There’s also Marobot, whose job is to come up with ideas and visual effects, and Tom Salamunic, who creates creative artwork for the show.
While he’s had a huge following for his excellent reviews that are anything but boring, he’s also faced challenges in the past. In December 2018, Angry Joe did a video review of the Hellboy trailer, leaving a bad review. In January 2019, the company behind the film, Lionsgate Films, filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Vargas with YouTube.
Because of this, all of the revenue he made from the video went to the film company. According to Joe, the copyright claim was just one way Lionsgate took the time to reprimand him for leaving a bad review. He claimed it was simply a bullying tactic by the giant film production company against any bad reviews.
In 2018, he released his game, Street Fighter: The Miniatures Game using characters from the Street Fighter Games. The project brought in $400,000 on Kickstarter on day one. In 2019, it had exceeded $2 million.
His net worth
According to YouTube’s policy, one may lose revenue generated from videos as soon as there is any question of copyright infringement. Due to his case with Lionsgate, the YouTuber lost revenue from this video. Nonetheless, he still does a good job on a general pitch, with an estimated net worth between $350,000 and $1.5 million.
He has no knowledge of his exact financial worth, but given that most sources have placed him within the aforementioned net worth range, there is no reason to believe he is not doing well.
Angry Joe made a fortune from his career as a commentator and YouTuber from his channel revenue and other sponsorship deals. Thanks to the quality of his audience on his channel, he earns a lot of money with each ad displayed on his videos. More so, it also derives from the sale of its merchandise.
Who is his girlfriend?
It’s not unusual for YouTubers to meet other YouTubers or the people they meet on social media or even the internet as a whole, because that’s where they spend most of their time. Therefore, it was no surprise that Joe had a relationship with Purrluna, a gamer on Twitch and YouTube, at the news.
The only surprising thing is that the age between the two is 10 years old. Nevertheless, Purrluna, originally from Sweden, met Angry Joe in the United States, which drew a lot of backlash.
As claimed, Joe and Purrluna later broke upPurrluna took to her Twitter in 2017 to claim that she had been single for almost six years at the time. When asked by fans about Joe, she claimed they were close but never dated.
Outside of Purrluna, Joe has never been openly linked to a woman. although he tweeted about losing two girlfriends in the past on the game, Fallout.
