Crazy Russian Hacker (Taras Kulakov) Biography, Age
Taras Kulakov was born to a Russian father and a Ukrainian mother in Ukraine. He was once a member of the Ukrainian Olympic swimming team. He grew up in Ukraine with his parents and siblings and started swimming when he was 9 years old. According to a Q&A video he made in September 2016, he stated that he has two brothers and three sisters, although only one of his brothers is known to us, Dima Kulakov, whom he shares one of his many channels on YouTube with. In the same Q&A where he revealed the number of siblings he has, he also made it known that he lived in Donetsk, one of Ukraine most prestigious cities before his eventual move to the United States.
Kulakov, with his family, made their way to God’s own country in 2006, to start up life in Asheville, North Carolina. On his arrival to the United States, he worked at a multinational retail corporation, Walmart for six years.
Three years before he quit working at Walmart, he started his first YouTube channel, Origami768, in 2009. On the channel, he would post videos on how to carry out the art of paper folding. He later changed the channel’s name to Taras Kul. The channel has gone on to become a success, it has over 3.4 million subscribers and recorded more than 800 million views.
Convinced by the fame and the amount of money he earned from his first channel, Kulakov chose to quit working at Walmart and decided to fully focus on making and posting videos on YouTube. His decision to go full-time has definitely yielded such a great result for him as he is now worth around a region of $7 million.
In 2012, he quit working at Walmart and created another YouTube channel, Crazy Russian Hacker, which would become his most popular and successful channel. He created the channel on the 18th of May 2012 and would post videos of himself performing several life hacks and science experiments. On this channel, you would see him demonstrate things like, what would happen when you boil Coca-Cola. Even though the experiments he carries out might look unorthodox to some people, Kulakov never creates a video without stressing out the importance of safety, and he also starts all of his videos with his slogan “What’s up everybody? Welcome to my laboratory, where safety is the number one priority. Boom!”. His Crazy Russian Hacker channel has recorded over 2.4 billion views and it has over 10.8 million subscribers. That’s a summary of how successful the channel has been.
He also has another YouTube channel named Slow Mo Lab which he shares with his brother Dima Kulakov. The initial name of the channel was Slomolaboratory. On the channel, he and his brother would film ordinary things in slow motion. The channel was created on the 27th of March 2014 and it has 564,871 subscribers as well as 142,627,585 views.
On April 25, 2014, Kulakov created another YouTube channel. The channel’s initial content of which were mostly gun videos wasn’t in line with the new YouTube community guidelines, as a result, Kulakov was advised to change both its content and the name. He eventually renamed the channel as Taras-Kul Farm. The channel accommodates videos of Kulakov’s pets and farm animals. It now serves as a platform where he would share his passion and love for pets with his subscribers. The channel has over 250 thousand subscribers and has recorded over 4.8 million views.
