How did Eugene Lee Yang Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on January 18, 1986, in Pflugerville, Texas, Eugene Lee Yang grew up with his two sisters, Christie and Whitney. As a child, he had always gravitated towards the arts such as dance, theatre, and choir. Though he initially didn’t plan on pursuing film, he decided to do so after receiving encouragement from his school teacher. After graduating high school, he attended the University of Southern California; he later graduated with a production degree in 2008. For the next five years, he worked as a freelancer, making music videos and commercials.
Referred by one of his colleagues, he eventually joined BuzzFeed Video in 2013. From there, it wasn’t long before he joined the comedy series, The Try Guys. Formed in 2014, the group consisted of three other individuals―Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld, and Keith Habersberger. While they all starred in the videos, Yang was the one who was responsible for the writing, producing, directing, and filming.
Incredibly popular, many of their videos eventually went viral on social media, with millions of views. For those who are interested, some of their most popular uploads include The Try Guys Wear Heels for a Night, The Try Guys Try Drag for the First Time, The Try Guys Try Not to Die Alone, and The Try Guys Try Labor Pain Simulation, the last of which has racked up more than 26 million views.
For their work, they have owned several awards including a Streamy Award, and more recently, a Web Award. Earlier this year, they even launched their own production company called 2nd Try LLC, under which they gain all rights to The Try Guys brand. Nonetheless, they remain connected to Buzzfeed. As popular as they are, however, it has not been disclosed how much Yang makes from their endeavors.
Aside from his work with The Try Guys, he has been featured in several other programs such as Te Zoo, Young Hollywood, YouTubers React, and Game Bang. Last year, he even hosted a show called Squad Wars.
In terms of upcoming projects, it looks like he will be making his film debut in the drama romance, Spring Blossom, which is slated for a 2019 release.
