Felipe Neto

Born in Rio de Janeiro on January 21, 1988, Felipe Neto Rodrigues Vieira has transformed from a local content creator into one of the most powerful voices in Brazilian entertainment. He stands as a YouTuber, businessman, actor, comedian, writer, and philanthropist who commands an audience of 44.7 million subscribers and has racked up over 15 billion views across his career. His rise mirrors the explosion of digital media in Brazil, where he became a household name by producing general entertainment videos that resonate with millions daily. He is also the older brother of fellow YouTuber Luccas Neto, and together they helped shape the landscape for family-friendly content online. Neto did not stop at building his own channel; he founded Paramaker to professionalize the industry. This network managed roughly 5,000 channels, including popular brands like Parafernalha and IGN Brasil Network, creating a structured ecosystem for online video creators. He sold the company in 2015 to dedicate himself fully to his personal brand, proving that individual influence could drive massive change. His impact reached global recognition when Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2020, a rare honor for a Latin American digital creator.[edit]
