Introduction

Social media stars have become increasingly popular in recent years; if you happen to be a pretty woman interested in costumes in popular video games and cartoon characters, you will find yourself gaining popularity quite quickly. Angie Griffin is one of the most famous cosplayers on YouTube and she’s lucky enough to work with the best co-worker you could have: her husband. However, becoming a YouTuber was not always her dream.

What did she want to be before this career? And how much money does she earn from her online career?

Early life and education

Angela Marie Griffin was born on May 16, 1982 in Bakersfield, California, USA. She spent most of her early years in California, with her family, and first attended a private high school, but was later homeschooled by her parents. She graduated, but the university she attended was never disclosed.

Acting career

Griffin’s acting debut was in 2009, a guest appearance on the TV series “The Rotten Tomatoes Show” in which she portrayed a character credited as Film Badger Angie.

The character became a regular on the entire 2009 season of the talk show called “Movie Mob”, and she even produced three episodes of the show. The following year, she was seen in the horror film “Bloodwood Cannibals”, and then she appeared in “Famous”, a 2011 short film, playing the role of Caroline.

In 2013, Griffin was a publicist on “Zombie Ed”, a horror comedy about a man considered “a loser”, who wakes up one day as a zombie.

Career on YouTube

Griffin first became active on YouTube – the social media site for posting video content – on January 11, 2010, when she opened her first channel, “Screen Team”, a collaboration with her husband, Chad Nikolaus. Her first video was uploaded on March 18, 2010 under the name “IMMA BE PARODY”, but she didn’t get much recognition until 2012, when she uploaded the “Amazing Spiderman Song”, which eventually garnered over 100 million views. She kept the tradition she started with the “Spiderman song” in her future uploads, meaning her channel is focused on comedic, nerdy content.

Her love of comic books and video games has earned her a huge and loyal fan base – as of April 2020, the channel has over 1.34 million followers. Some of her more popular clips include “Avengers Age of Ultron Song Parody”, “Pokemon Parody featuring Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry”, “SMASH – Super Smash Bros in Real Life”, and “Sonic and Parker Paradox”. She is also known for her “Star Wars” video parody of the Carly Rae Jepsen song “Call Me Maybe”, which she dubbed “Join Me, Maybe” while singing in a Darth Vader costume.

Several years after starting “Screen Team”, Griffin opened her own YouTube channel which is more personal than the one she shares with her husband, and regularly posts content related to her favorite video games and movies, as well as her cosplay endeavors. The channel has more than 45,000 followers, though she is not that active on it, but since the profile is quite new, she promised to post more videos on it over time.

Private life

Griffin began dating Chad Nikolaus in 2006, and after a long and loving relationship, the couple tied the knot, though the date and venue of the wedding were kept a secret.

The couple live and work together and are considered one of YouTube’s richest and most successful business couples.

The couple has two daughters, Tallulah and Mellissa, whose birth dates have been kept secret, but she often posts pictures of them.

In addition to YouTube, Griffin is active on her Instagram account, where she usually posts her cosplay photos. As of April 2020, she did a cosplay of many popular characters including Mistress Morphine, Arya Stark and Jessica Rabbit.

She earns a tidy sum from it as she has accumulated more than 135,000 followers and her posts collect thousands of likes. She is also active on Twitter, which has more than 45,000 followers.

Griffin and Nikolaus are regulars at many game cons, and have even shot several pretty popular videos during these game events.

Angie Griffin is often confused with Angela Mellissa Griffin, an English TV presenter and actress, due to the similarities in their names. However, they are not connected in any way.

Angela Mellissa Griffin was born six years before Angie Griffin and currently lives in Canada despite being born in Leeds, UK.

Net value

This gorgeous YouTuber has achieved prominent successes in every career path she has taken. Estimates from SocialBlade that she earns a whopping $320,000 annually just from her YouTube channel alone. On her Instagram account, she is estimated to earn around $500,000 a year through her sponsored posts and brand deals.
