Lucas Cruikshank Net Worth
Lucas Cruikshank is a YouTube personality or vlogger who began his YouTube career in 2005. He began the company, JKL Productions and also created a Youtube channel with his twin cousins, Jon and Katie Smet. The three youngsters began creating character ideas and posting the videos on their channel. Their breakthrough came later in 2005 with the creation of the character of Fred Figglehorn in a Halloween video which was acted by Lucas himself and which portrayed him as a 6-year-old from a troubled home. The video made Lucas Cruikshank an instant YouTube star.
The Fred character grew so fast that it had a channel of its own by April 2008, where he started a video series. In one year, April 2009, the Fred YouTube channel broke records by becoming the first YouTube channel to gain over one million subscribers, a figure that has risen to over 2.7 million subscribers presently. JKL Productions also earned in that year, a total of $14,000 from the Fred videos before Lucas announced he was leaving the company.
Lucas Cruikshank made Fred’s character into a movie titled Fred: The Movie which attracted Nickelodeon, a satellite television network owned by Viacom. Instead of the Fred channel on YouTube, the movie was aired on Nickelodeon in September 2010. Upon the success of the film, the cartoon company decided to turn Fred’s character into a franchise and produced other sequels to the first Fred movie which included Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred in October 2011, Fred: The Show and Fred 3: Camp Fred in 2012 respectively. Both were aired on the Nickelodeon network. The last sequel brought an end to the Fred series but not an end to Lucas’ collaboration with Nickelodeon. He secured another role in the show Marvin Marvin which began at the expiration of the Fred series but it did not record as much success as Fred and so was canceled after the first season.
Asides from the Fred channel, Lucas Cruikshank has his own YouTube channel named after himself “Lucas” on which he posts videos every Sundays and Wednesdays. He created the channel in January 2009 and it has over 2.7 million subscribers. He appeared in an episode of the American high school comedy TV show Hannah Montana which aired from 2006-2011. Lucas is currently worth $5 million. His net worth is accrued from his YouTube activities and his acting spell with Nickelodeon.
