Okay, let’s tackle the burning question that keeps the internet’s gears greased: How many subscribers does FaZe Rug actually have? As of right now, the man, the myth, the prankster legend—Brian Awadis, aka FaZe Rug—is sitting pretty at over 24 million subscribers on his main YouTube channel. That’s not a typo. That’s more people than the entire population of Australia, which is honestly terrifying if you think about his “Nastya’s Dad” pranks being watched by an entire continent.
But wait—don't click away yet, because the full story is juicier than a dropped avocado toast. Rug didn’t just stumble into 24 million; he grinded his way there like a YouTuber who forgot to drink water for a week. His channel started in 2012 when he was a kid messing around with Call of Duty trickshots, and now he’s a multi-millionaire owning a mansion that looks like a mini Dave & Buster’s. 24 million subscribers sounds like a lot, but it’s actually more than the population of Florida. Imagine the entire state of Florida clicking “subscribe” while simultaneously sweating through a humidity-induced existential crisis.
The Numbers Game: It Actually Gets Weirder
If you look at his combined social media empire, Rug’s reach is basically a small country. On YouTube alone, he’s gained roughly 12 million subscribers in just the last three years. That’s like adding the entire population of New York City to his fan club, twice. I’m pretty sure his subscriber counter needs therapy at this point for the pressure of constant growth.

But here’s the funny part: Rug’s channel growth was not always a smooth, uphill jog. There was a stretch in 2019 where he hit a plateau, gaining only about 3 million subscribers in a year. That’s still a “bad year” that most creators would sell a kidney for. He just casually shrugged and then dropped a video of him pranking his mom with a fake tarantula, and bam—back to adding 500,000 subscribers a month. Subscribers are weirdly attracted to panic screaming.
If you want a truly surprising stat, consider this: Rug’s second channel, “Rug,” has over 7 million subscribers all by itself. Most creators would cry tears of joy for 7 million on their main channel. For him, it’s a side project where he posts vlogs about eating too much sushi. The universe is unfair.
Faze Rug Hit 5 Million Subscribers! - YouTube
How Does He Stack Up Against Other FaZe Members?
In the grand hierarchy of FaZe Clan, Rug is the absolute king of raw subscriber count. FaZe Banks? He’s rocking just over 7 million. FaZe Swagg? Around 5 million. Rug’s 24 million is basically a bully on the playground flexing his lunch money. The only FaZe member who comes close is FaZe Adapt (RIP, sweet prince of fortnite content), but even he topped out around 20 million. Rug is the undisputed subscriber G.O.A.T. of that clan, and he got there by doing things like putting a ghost in his car or hiding jump scares in pizza boxes.
Let’s not forget the cultural impact of his subscriber base. When Rug hit 20 million subscribers, he celebrated by uploading a video where he literally gave a random fan $20,000. That’s not just a number—that’s a whole community that makes his accountant sweat bullets during tax season. 24 million people is enough to fill Wembley Stadium 266 times over. Imagine 266 stadiums of people all yelling “SUBSCRIBE TO RUG” at the same time. My ears hurt just typing that.

But here’s the real kicker: his subscriber count is still climbing. As I write this, the number is ticking upward by about 50,000 subscribers every single day. That’s faster than I can finish a bag of Doritos. At this rate, by the time you finish reading this article, he’ll have gained another thousand subscribers. It’s like watching a high-speed car crash, but the car is made of money and the crash is a celebration.
So, to answer the original question: FaZe Rug has roughly 24,000,000+ subscribers. But that number is about as stable as a house of cards in a hurricane. It changes every second. The only constant is that Rug is laughing all the way to the bank, probably while filming a video where he scares his mom again. And we’re all just along for the ride.
