Typically, building a large following on social media can be a very grueling process. In some cases, people can spend years posting before they start to get a dedicated following. Fortunately for PoloBoy, that wasn’t how things went for him. Within less than a year of starting his TikTok account, he started to see lots of success. Now, less than two years after getting started, his following is well into the millions and the numbers are continuing to grow. PoloBoy is best known for his comedic videos although things recently took a much more serious turn when he revealed that he is a father. While he did admit to having a child, he also asked that people respect his privacy. Of course, this only made many people more curious about him. Here are 10 things you didn’t know about PoloBoy.

Once PoloBoy started making money, he couldn’t help but spend a little. While talking to DRT, PoloBoy said, “In 2018, I splurged on a $300 designer belt by MCM. It was a terrible financial decision because at the time I was only making about $500 a week—so that was way out of my budget. But luckily, I really take care of my clothes and I haven’t gone shopping for a significant amount of new clothing since.”

6. He’s Worried About Global Warming

PoloBoy likes to keep his platform more on the comical side, but there are some things he’s serious about. During his interview with DRT, PoloBoy said, “My biggest fear is 100% global warming. I often think about my future kid(s). I want to be able to drag them in a sled across the snow after a big storm in New York City—like I did as a kid. I have so many fond memories that involve being outdoors in the winter. I hope we can prioritize climate change and that they will be able to have those kind of moments, as I did.”
