Ricegum Net Worth

Early Life and Education

RiceGum, whose real name is Bryan Quang Le, was born on November 19, 1996 in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is of Chinese and Vietnamese ancestry. As a teenager, Le went to Sierra Vista High School in Spring Valley, where he played on the school basketball team. He went on to attend the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, but dropped out during his freshman year to focus full-time on his online career.

YouTube Career

Le launched his main YouTube channel, RiceGum, in 2012; the name would become his moniker. He soon became notorious for his many online feuds with other YouTubers, including iDubbbz, James Rallison, Bhad Bhabie, and Gabbie Hanna. The lattermost personality accused RiceGum of hitting her and shattering her phone at a party in 2017. RiceGum has also been involved in a number of controversies related to his YouTube videos. In mid-2018, he drew major flak for a video he uploaded of himself in Hong Kong in which he asked patrons and staff at a local McDonald’s if they had dog on the menu. RiceGum was heard in the video declaring that “Asians eat cats and dogs in China.” The video was widely decried for being culturally disrespectful and ignorant, and was eventually removed from YouTube. RiceGum defended himself by saying he was merely “joking around,” an apology that was regarded as insincere by many observers.

Music Career

As a rapper, RiceGum began releasing singles in 2017. His first charting single was also his debut: “It’s Every Night Sis,” featuring fellow YouTuber Alissa Violet. A response track to YouTuber Jake Paul’s viral song “It’s Everyday Bro,” the single debuted at number 80 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 55 on the Canadian Hot 100. It would later go Platinum. “It’s Every Night Sis” was followed by the singles “God Church” and “Frick da Police,” the latter a diss track toward YouTuber iDubbbz. “Frick da Police” reached number 45 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and number 67 on the Canadian Hot 100. RiceGum closed out 2017 with the release of the Christmas song “Naughty or Nice.” Early the next year, he released the songs “Bitcoin” and “Fortnite n Chill.” RiceGum’s other songs have included “DaAdult,” “My Ex,” and “Contract Money Freestyle,” all of which came out in 2020. He also made a guest appearance in the video for fellow rapper and YouTuber KSI’s song “Earthquake,” although the video was later removed from YouTube following a dispute he had with KSI.

Personal Life

RiceGum is in a relationship with Ellerie Marie. At the end of April in 2023, in his first new YouTube video in over two years, he announced that he and Marie had lost a child to stillbirth.
