The following year, Rynx filmed his first music video and since then has gone on to release seven singles.

Vanoss Gaming has accrued a staggering net worth of over $25 million. He earned most of his stellar valuation from VanossGaming’s AdSense revenue along with getting sponsored, and from his career as a music producer and starting his own line of merchandise.

This is based on the estimate that YouTube channels earn anywhere between $3-$7 per one thousand views. However, these are conservative estimations and Vanoss Gaming could very well earn over $3.81 million a year..
Apart from this, he has two other YouTube channels that also offer quite a bit of money via AdSense revenue. As per Social Blade, VanossGamingExtras earns around $675 - $10.8K per month or $8.1K - $129.6K per year. Celebrity Net Worth reports Fong earns an average of $20,000 per day via YouTube AdSense.

Tubular Insights reports that Vanoss gaming has been sponsored by Ubisoft in the past, which would have been quite a profitable collaboration, as Fong’s subscribers helped Ubisoft reach over two million views. Apart from this, games like Monster Legends and Dauntless have also been featured in his videos. He also has worked with brands like Red Bull and Monster Energy amongst others.
Fong was recently appointed as the creative director on a game named Dead Realm. He has worked on two different animated series, namely YouTube Red’s Paranormal Action Squad and Alpha Betas, which aired on his own channel.

Fong, alongside YouTubers Tom "Syndicate" Cassell and Adam "SeaNanners" Montoya, founded 3Blackdot, which is an entertainment company. The studio has produced a catalogue of video games including Zombie Killer Squad. The company was eventually sold in 2017 for "several tens of millions of Euros".
Given how he made the term Vanoss famous, it should come as no surprise that Fong’s cars of choice come from the same company that gave him his iconic alias.
