How much is Vikkstar worth in 2026?
We estimate Vikkstar is worth about $8 million. That is an estimate with a wide band, because the Sidemen businesses are private and his share has not been published. Automated net worth pages put him at only a few hundred thousand dollars, which cannot be right for someone with this many businesses, and we do not use them.
What we can document is a stack of ventures. The group’s clothing line began in 2014. Sides, a restaurant chain founded with Reef, launched in November 2021. XIX Vodka followed in October 2022 and the Best Cereal brand, made with Mornflake, in March 2024. Vikkstar also invested in the London Royal Ravens esports team and the sneaker brand notwoways, and co-founded the eyewear brand Circulr in 2023.
His own audience adds to it. His main channel had about 7.57 million subscribers in June 2025, and about 12 million across his channels. In 2025 he began hosting the Netflix reality show Inside USA, and in 2026 hosts the spin-off Outside. We think a share in several businesses plus a large channel supports a mid-seven-figure total, with room to be higher if the restaurants and clothing performed well.
How Vikkstar built it
- Joined the Sidemen early. The group's clothing line began in 2014 and grew into a wider set of businesses.
- Backed many ventures. He is tied to Sides, XIX Vodka and Best Cereal, and co-founded the eyewear brand Circulr in 2023.
- Grew his own channels. He reached about 12 million subscribers across his channels and began hosting a Netflix show in 2025.

What Vikkstar teaches (and what to take from it)
Barn does not sell a course, but a group career like his has clear lessons. Here are four in our own words.
Build with people you trust
The Sidemen turned a friend group into a set of companies, with each person bringing different skills. Trust cuts the cost of every decision.
This week: pick one project and name the person you would most want next to you. Ask them to share the load.
Start with what you already do
His channel started with Call of Duty videos in 2010. He built on a hobby, then added businesses later. Free practice is the cheapest start.
Try this: take something you already do for fun and share one small piece of it with others.
Reinvent yourself on a schedule
From gaming to business to music to TV hosting, he keeps adding a new skill. Fresh skills keep you from being tied to one platform.
Start here: schedule one hour to learn something outside your usual field.
Spread your bets sensibly
Vikkstar invested in esports, sneakers, eyewear and food. Not all ideas win, but several chances raise the odds.
