It’s fair to say that Alia Shelesh, famously known as SSSniperWolf, is one of YouTube’s top creators, with an estimated net worth of $16 million (via CNW). Unfortunately, her fortune might be at risk as she’s revealed that her ex-husband has decided to sue her and aims to take over everything she owns, including her YouTube channels, social media handles, and other things. What’s really happening, and how much she could end up losing? Well, let’s take a look.
SSSniperWolf’s Legal Hurdles With Her Ex-Husband
There’s no celebrity out there that Kai Cenat hasn’t featured on his Twitch streams. This time, he welcomed SSSniperWolf as a guest. Their conversation covered a range of things, but things took a serious turn when Kai asked about her ex-husband Evan Young, who’s known as Sausage, and whether he was suing her or not. SSSniperWolf confirmed that’s indeed the case.
For those who don’t know, Young is himself a YouTube creator who’s appeared in a bunch of SSSniperWolf’s early videos. The two started dating in 2013 and were one of the most famous couples on YouTube.
According to SSSniperWolf, Young now wants a share of everything she owns, including her money. He’s already taken half of her assets and continues to seek her future earnings. Additionally, she mentions that he wants to take total control of her social media accounts and her new YouTube channel.

She’s also revealed that the legal battle between her and Young has been ongoing for three years now. She’s hoping to see the dispute come to an end soon, as it’s probably one of the most mentally exhausting situations for her.
So, why is Young doing this? Well, his case is based on the claim that he was the one running the show behind the SSSniperWolf YouTube channel. It was he who researched, came up with new ideas, and strategized her content. Young believes he wasn’t treated fairly after their separation in 2022, and didn’t receive the compensation for his contributions.
When we talk about the potential losses for SSSniperWolf, the settlement could be huge. With her net worth around $16 million, any agreement, including the ones on future revenue, could amount to millions.
How Does SSSniperWolf Make Her Money?
With a net worth that high, you might think, How exactly does SSSniperWolf make her money? To begin things, she has an audience of 35 million subscribers on YouTube. Social Blade statistics suggest that her following brings in anywhere from $15,000 to $233,0000 a month. This adds up to an annual income between $209,000 and $3.3 million.
Keep in mind that these figures don’t account for the fact that she hasn’t been active on YouTube for the last couple of months, like she used to be earlier. Back then, these numbers were probably higher.
But YouTube ad revenue isn’t her only source. She runs multiple other channels and partners up with major gaming companies, which include the likes of Activision, EA, and Ubisoft
If that’s not enough, her 5 million Instagram followers make her the perfect partner for numerous sponsorships and endorsement deals due to the influence she holds online.
Her earnings are further boosted by merchandise sales, which include things like hoodies, shirts, and many other items that her fans actively purchase.
With that said, what do you think about the legal battle between SSSniperWolf and Sausage? Let us know in the comments below.
