SSSniperWolf

SSSniperWolf, real name Alia Marie Shelesh, is a British-American YouTuber best known for gaming and reaction content. As of 2026 her net worth is estimated at around $16 million, built almost entirely on more than a decade of YouTube revenue and brand partnerships.

Early Life & Family

Alia Marie “Lia” Shelesh was born on October 22, 1992, in Liverpool, England, and moved to the United States at around age six. She has an Iranian father and a British mother. Her brother, Bakir Shelesh, died in a drowning accident while bodyboarding in Hawaii in August 2022.

Rise to Fame

She began posting videos in 2011 under the username “sexysexysniper,” sharing Call of Duty gameplay. In 2013 she launched the SSSniperWolf channel with a Black Ops II fails compilation. Around 2017 she pivoted toward reaction videos, which became her signature content format and drove rapid subscriber growth — her channel passed 5 million subscribers that year and was named among Forbes’ top gaming influencers for 2017.

Career History

SSSniperWolf’s channel has grown into one of YouTube’s largest, with over 35 million subscribers and more than 26 billion total views as of 2026. YouTube ranked her third on its “US Top Creators” list in 2021, and she won Gaming Influencer of the Year at the American Influencer Awards that same year. She also runs a secondary channel, “Little Lia,” with nearly 4 million subscribers. In 2023 she drew criticism for reacting to TikTok creators’ content without permission (“freebooting”), and in October 2023 was accused of doxxing fellow YouTuber jacksfilms by livestreaming footage near his home, which led YouTube to temporarily demonetize her channel.

How They Built Their Wealth

The core of SSSniperWolf’s income is YouTube advertising revenue across her main and secondary channels, supplemented by brand partnerships and endorsements with companies including EA, Disney, Ubisoft and gaming-energy brand G FUEL. She has also invested in real estate, including a 2022 purchase of a roughly 2.25-acre Arizona property reported to be worth close to $7 million.

Personal Life

In 2019, Shelesh and then-partner Evan Young purchased a $2.9 million home in Henderson, Nevada. The couple separated in September 2022 and filed for divorce, though reports indicate they had been legally married by September 2023.

Through more than a decade of YouTube content, brand deals and real estate investments, SSSniperWolf’s net worth is estimated at approximately $16 million as of 2026.
