While most of us just get on the internet to have fun and get entertained, a few others are making a whole lot of money off the internet. Ethan Klein is one of those lucky few and he doesn’t just make money off the internet, he has indeed made a name for himself.
Ethan Klein is a popular American YouTube comedian best known for the “h3h3Productions” channel which he produces alongside his wife Hila Klein. Their content consist of comedy and commentary; reaction videos as well as sketch comedy. With over 5 million subscribers and a cumulative 900 million views on his channel, Ethan Klein is unarguably one of the most famous YouTubers of our time.

Through their Twitch channel, this husband-and-wife duo was able to raise $100,000 to support Hurricane Harvey relief efforts in the wake of the disaster.
Bio
Ethan Edward Klein was born on June 24, 1985, in Ventura, California. He was born into an Ashkenazi Jewish family to Gary and Donna Klein. His paternal grandfather was the late American film and television producer Leonard Katzman. Ethan Klein is of Jewish and American descent, he attended Buena High School, studied English Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in creative writing. He was placed on the Dean’s Honor List when he graduated in 2009. Before the YouTube stardom, Ethan worked as a marketing executive in Israel. He claims those days were the most boring of his life.
Beyond the comedy, “h3h3production” videos usually pass a strong message about social trends and internet personalities. In the end, they don’t just make you laugh, they touch on pretty serious matters. They also analyse and critique videos from other YouTube channels and trending online videos.
One of such critiques landed them in a copyright infringement lawsuit when a fellow YouTuber Matt Hoss, had alleged that the Kleins used a greater fraction of his work without any meaningful contribution to it. The Kleins received tremendous support in the wake of the lawsuit and a GoFundMe page was created to help cater for their enormous legal fees. Fortunately, the Kleins emerged victorious in the legal battle even as the publicity earned them more subscriptions on their channel.
