When we talk about CarryMinati or to use his real name, Ajey Nagar, one of those who never went with the flow and figured his own way very early in time. He was born on 12th June 1999, in Faridabad, so now, in 2025, he is 26 years old and still one of the most recognized faces among Indian netizens. What makes him that much relatable is the fact that he doesn’t try too hard to be one of those perfect, polished guys. He is just real-always has been. His family was pretty normal-a far cry from being extraordinarily rich. His dad did some business, while his mother keeps a low profile, and his elder brother, Yash (you might know him as Wily Frenzy), is a musician who has worked with him on some hits.
School never excited him. He joined DPS Faridabad till he decided to drop out of 12 to completely dedicate himself to YouTube. Then it seemed a massive risk, but looking back, it might just be the best decision he ever made. The scope for completing his schooling later via distance education came, but by that time, the YouTube chapter of his life was already a runaway success. He first started at a very young age, making videos just for fun, doing voice impressions, the gaming content-all raw and unfiltered, which earned some heartwarming reception. Gradually, he began to realize what was working for him-roasts, reactions, humor that felt very real and semi-improvised. Thus was born CarryMinati.
He is a little over 5’5″, hardly tall, gym body? Nah, influencer looks? Girl, please! But that was the whole point-he never tried to be something else. Be it a hoodie outfit, messy hair, or just casually ranting in a video-he comes across as a friend you are hanging out with rather than a celebrity. He earns two channels, CarryMinati and CarryIsLive, and they are both doing awesome work out there. The “YouTube vs TikTok” video? Epic kill. Yeah, it got taken down, but it was basically the stamp for him to secure a spot as the voice of his generation. And then came not just amusing again with the rap numbers “Yalgaar” and “Vardaan,” proving he is serious about stuff too.
Now, moving ahead to his off-screen life, he is all chill. No public relationships, no tabloids; no marriage yet; and if there is someone special, he keeps it under wraps-and good for him. Finances? Well, he is doing pretty good. Come on, 2025, and he is worth some ₹40 to ₹50 crores. You name it, between YouTube, the live streams, brand endorsements, music, merch-it all builds up. But the coolest part? He never turned from the one kid in Faridabad who made it bloom by being himself, and that is what his fans truly admire him for, even at the peak of stardom.
