I just donāt knowā¦ things still donāt make sense to me. I guess if Susan did have a tight grip on his income then she could have saved and invested his finances wisely. But if heās ballin out of control, it still doesnāt explain a LOT of things like we already said: buying an old car (not to mention keeping his old clunker for as long as he did), constantly using Caseyās discount, making his whole family pay for him when they come see him when it should be the other way around, and honestly, he wouldnāt have ālostā his first house, plus SO many other things that donāt add up. Also, Kyle is just a tiny fish in a huge sea of YouTubers, many of which are way more successful than he is, and it just seems so odd that a rinky dink, practically nobody Disney YouTuber who puts out videos that are worse than some peopleās home movies, would be pulling in more money than a brain surgeon.
If we look at everything:
Indicators that he's earning money:
- "Accidentally" showed his YouTube revenue panel in a vlog last year, which showed him earning $167,000 between Dec 2022 and May 2023.
- Deed and mortgage papers show solely his name on the house purchase with a $151,000 down payment.
- Pallo himself bragging that he makes the "big bucks" and earns $18 per 1,000 views.
Indicators that he's not earning money:
- Complains often about the price of things
- Mooches off others every chance he gets, including his family when they visit
- Bought a 13 year old used car
- Didn't know how much he's paying for rent or how much his massage membership costs
Until seeing the deed info, I thought that he couldn't possibly be earning
that much solely based off his behavior and habits. But always considered the possibility that his mom could be controlling his money. We know she's a manager on his channel, controls his bank account, handles his taxes, had to add up his purchases for him in Aulani, and he calls her up to get "permission" for big purchases.
For the car purchase, she probably limited him to a certain budget. Remember that he had to wait for a check in the mail from Wisconsin to give the "two sweet gentlemen." For the house purchase, she had to fly down and approve the purchase.
He complains and wishes that he had a 'Rolex,' but he can't get one because Susan won't authorize it.
If I had to guess, she collects all of the incoming revenue and gives Kyle a "living allowance." Then she invests the majority of it. As
@ProfessorFate and
@Hardly Here pointed out, he's made a significant portion during 2022 and 2023 while his expenses have been barebones. It would be quite easy to save up $200k+ through that period.
It's also possible that Susan has some kind of conservatorship over him.
