KSI: I don't need any more money - I want to start a family

The 27-year-old, who was raised in Watford and went to Berkhamsted School, was estimated by The Times to earn £12 million a year and appeared on the Heat Rich List last year.

His early fame rested on computer gaming skills, but some of his earnings has come from much-publicised bouts with fellow YouTubers, and there is speculation about a bout with Jake Paul after he defeated both Joe Weller and Logan Paul.

But speaking to the Daily Star newspaper's Wired column, KSI - real name Olajide Olatunji - suggested he had enough money.

He said: "I have reached peak happiness with the money I have. I don't need any more, so I am just trying to do what I can, help who I can, support charities and have a good time man."

After early comic rap songs on his YouTube channel, since 2015 he has pursued a serious music career.

With a tour due in May this year, he hinted he would put some of the cash towards the shows.

He added: "I would spend all that money I have been making and put it on production – it will be stupid, it will be ridiculous, it will be huge."

But the celebrity, who has 22.4 million subscribers, suggested there was no plan to his career, but indicated he would like to settle down and start a family - although not before he had "enjoyed everything".

He added: "There isn't really an end goal, I don't know how long I will be in the music industry or doing the whole YouTube thing.

"When I want to settle down and have a kid and a family, I want to make sure I put all my focus on them. I have always wanted a family.

"It's so weird and scary as so much has happened in the past five years of my life, so I don't know what's going to happen.”

He added: “I want to enjoy everything before I calm down."
