Entertainer KidBehindACamera Net Worth and Income Sources

KidBehindACamera net worth is estimated to be anywhere from $1 to $8 million, according to reputable online sources [1].

Michael Green aka Pickleboy is the mastermind behind the viral YouTube channel The Angry Grandpa Show. His parents are Angry Grandpa and Tin. The other members of his family are Charles, Jennifer, and Kim. As a vlogger, he runs his own YouTube channel called KidBehindACamera.

YouTube prank videos that Michael Green creates are mostly focused on humor and pranks, and they were at their height during the ‘golden age’ of YouTube prank videos. The primary protagonist of his videos is Angry Grandpa – a fictional character who is prone to extreme bouts of rage and destruction. 

A unique style of filming by Michael Green gave the impression that Angry Grandpa’s freakouts were solely the product of rage. It soon became evident that the whole thing was just a publicity stunt once it was revealed that it was all staged. Despite being outed as a skit, the channel continued to do well. 

Angry Grandpa passed away on December 10, 2017 [2]. This didn’t mean the end of KidBehindACamera’s career as he transitioned into other genres of entertainment, namely music, vlogging, food, and others.

KidBehindACamera earned the nickname “Pickleboy” in a skit where he tried pranking Angry Grandpa. He threw some flour on Angry Grandpa to stop his rage, but Grandpa managed to pour an entire bottle of pickles on KidBehindACamera. This led to Charles calling shouting “Pickle Boy! Pickle Boy!”. The name stuck since then.

KidBehindACamera Personal Life 

KidBehindACamera, whose real name is Michael Brian Green, was born on June 2, 1987, in North Charleston, South Carolina. His father Charles Marving Green Jr. and Tina Marie Sharp Green are both deceased. 

Michael’s family wasn’t prosperous and he grew up in poverty. He describes his early years as ‘having fought to survive’. Michael has three siblings: brother Charles Green III and sisters Jennifer Green and Kimberly Pratt. 

It is worth mentioning that his oldest brother, Charles Green has been disowned from the Green Family on account of an incident where CHarlie took LSD. This resulted in him getting high and assaulting Michael’s girlfriend Bridgette West by punching her in the face and damaging property. 

IT was also disclosed that when Kimberly was 9 years old, Charlie held Kimberly and Jennifer captive in order for his friends to rape them. He also provided his 10 year old nephew with alcohol and marijuana. 

Michael reported that he would not allow Charlie to be in another YouTube video and that he was cutting him out of his life. Michael requested his audience to never mention Charle’s name ever again. 

As a result of these incidents, Charlie uploaded an apology video on his YouTube channel channel. This video received negative reception but got a lot of coverage from notable YouTubers like DramaAlert [4].
