The world's highest-paid YouTube star in 2016, the Swedish gamer born Felix Kjellberg would have topped the Gaming category if not for the nine videos he posted in early 2017 containing anti-Semitic or Nazi imagery.
Pewdiepie later apologised for the jokes. His multi-channel network partner Maker Studios, a subsidiary of Disney, severed ties with him; he was booted from YouTube's Red platform and the Google Preferred program.
While his brand is tarnished, he continues to make millions from YouTube ads alone.
