PewDiePie: Early life, education, and career
PewDiePie or Felix was born on 24 October 1989 in Gothenburg, Sweden which makes his nationality a Swedish. He was born to his Swedish parents Lotta Kristine Johanna and Ulf Christian Kjellberg.

But he somehow graduated from Göteborgs Högre Samskola and then went to the Chalmers University of Technology at Sweden to study industrial economics and technology management.
However, he did not complete his University degree as he dropped out and started selling hot dogs at a restaurant while also making gaming videos. As his interest was also in Photoshop he often would take part in photoshop contests that led him to a job offer at Scandinavia which he turned down. Eventually, he sold his photoshop prints to buy a computer where he would later make videos.
