Over ten billion people have watched his videos, and The Wall Street Journal and Variety have referred to him as the king of YouTube. Both publications have called him the face of online video.

In 2015, he broke the record for most subscribers on YouTube by becoming the first user to surpass 10 million, and in 2016, his channel had the most views of any YouTube channel in the entire world.Kjellberg's fame has helped him amass a fortune in the multimillions, and he has been able to donate a portion of that wealth to philanthropic organizations through the use of his platform.
In 2016, he gave a donation of one million dollars to the non-profit organization (RED) to fight AIDS, and the following year, he gave a donation of fifty thousand dollars to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
