Who is Tim Pool?
If you have never heard of Tim Pool (that’s really unlikely unless you’ve been living under a rock or in some Wi-Fi-less bunker), let’s get you up to speed. Timothy Daniel Pool was born on March 9, 1986, in the not-so-glamorous streets of Chicago, where the most exciting thing at the time was deep-dish pizza. Fast forward a few decades, and here’s Tim Pool, rising from South Side Chicago to the big bright lights of political commentary. He is most well known for live streaming the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011. Tim was quickly becoming notoriety with his coverage armed with nothing more than a cell phone and an unrelenting dedication to wearing beanies in all kinds of weather.
And now he is a YouTuber with multiple channels, a podcaster, and voice in political commentary with enough subscribers to form their own small nation. Really, with over 1.3 million followers on YouTube alone, he could probably run for mayor of the internet.
Tim Pool Career
He was never a millionaire or a journalist. Legend has it that he dropped out at 14 when, really, who needs math when you have big dreams? Pool first came to national attention by live streaming the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011. Armed with little but a phone, a scrappy attitude, and that trusty beanie, he broadcast hours of protest footage, becoming the modern-day Gonzo journalist. Before long, his footage was appearing on NBC and every other major mainstream outlet.
He took his journalism all over the world to cover protests in Ukraine, Egypt, Thailand, and Turkey, among many others. The man is like some one-man CNN – minus the fancy suits and teleprompters. He made a move to Vice Media and Fusion TV in 2014 which sounds like some wild career leap but Pool is not your average guy. He made a name for himself in guerrilla journalism and became Vice’s cool older brother in the world of political commentary.
And if that wasn’t enough, the guy has also got a music channel on YouTube. That’s right; when he’s not ranting about politics, Tim Pool is dropping beats. Because why not?
Tim Pool Net Worth
So, the big question is worth its multi-million-dollar weight in gold: What’s Tim Pool’s net worth as of 2024? Honestly? Well, the estimates vary, but most peg his fortune at somewhere in the range of $3 million to $5 million. Hell, with the sheer number of YouTube channels he operates–each one monetized to the gills–Pool’s probably laughing all the way to the bank, assuming he ever leaves his West Virginia compound long enough to visit one.
Pool’s income streams are like a very diversified investment portfolio. There’s the sweet YouTube ad revenue, his Patreon subscribers, and his independent news website, TimCast.com. There are merchandise sales, if you’ve ever wanted a “Be Brave, Do Something” mug, now’s your chance, along with a few sponsorship deals, and Pool’s making more than most people see in a lifetime — all while sitting behind a microphone wearing a beanie.
It is a pretty simple life, but it pays well.
Tim Pool Age
Tim Pool, the man, the myth, the beanie, aged 38 as of 2024. Born on 9 March, 1986, he’s got plenty more years to build more millions under his name. While most 38-year-olds juggle mid-life crises, Pool juggles YouTube channels, live streams, and the occasional controversy.
Pisces by zodiac sign, Tim Pool might be creative and all dreamy-but sit down for some transcendental meditation by the lake? Not next. He is far too busy pontificating about what ails the world, livestreaming the freakout, and trying to wake up the masses.
Tim Pool Family: Parents
Okay, let’s be realistic here for one second. Everybody wants to know: is Tim Pool single or not? Is the man married or not? Does he have children? Do he hide some kind of a secret family somewhere? As for 2024, Tim Pool is married. Sorry for those of you out there looking to seduce the political commentator, but, as far as you’re concerned, Tim Pool is free as a bird. However, he’s not completely single.
Reports also claim that Pool is dating Alison Neubauer, the Chief Operating Officer at Timecast Media. You heard that right, folks: Tim is dating his company’s COO, meaning, in this secular era, the modern version of dating the cool girl in class – but instead of wearing a letterman jacket, she runs your company.
Kids? Not a clue that we know of, unless you count his chickens (more on that later).
Tim Pool Height and Weight
The Beanie Adds an Inch, Right?
For those interested in physical stats, because hey, why not — Tim Pool stands at a respectable 5 feet 10 inches (1.77 meters). He’s not exactly towering over crowds, but he’s tall enough to reach the top shelf at the grocery store.
Weight-wise, Pool tips the scales around 82 kg (180 lbs). Not bad for a guy who spends most of his time seated, discussing politics on YouTube. Maybe it is the beanie that keeps him fit always keeping his brain at optimal temperature.
