What is the Liver King's Net Worth?
In 2023, Brian Johnson claimed that his net worth was $310 million. However, MoneyMade took a look and judged the Liver King's liquid net worth to be closer to $12 million.
The site reports that Johnson has invested in four supplement brands and that each brand is performing at over $1 million in annual revenue.
Then there's his own Ancestral lifestyle brand. MoneyMade estimates Johnson could be making anywhere from $3 million to $4 million annual revenue from sales on his website, with sales from Amazon adding up to a potential $24 million. They believe the profit of the company to be in the neighborhood of $3 million, with Johnson's personal stake in that being somewhere around $1 million.
Liver King also owns a number of other supplement companies, though MoneyMade reports that he is "most likely" a minority stakeholder and would not be personally making as much as he is with Ancestral.
Then there are Johnson's real estate holdings. He and his family live in a mansion in Austin, Texas, that MoneyMade estimates to be worth around $4 million. Then there's Liver Ranch, also in Austin, which is worth about $1 million.
What to Know About Netflix's 'Untold: The Liver King' Documentary
According to Netflix's Tudum, "Untold: The Liver King" isn't going to answer questions like whether or not eating raw meat all day is really the key to health and happiness. The site's description of the documentary reads, "UNTOLD: The Liver King is less concerned with what it takes to build a physique than with what it takes to build a brand. What happens when a person becomes a persona? How does a family live inside a myth? And what's the cost of becoming your own hero?"
The Mirror describes some of the more surprising scenes in the documentary, including Johnson's wife, Barbara, talking about how their son didn't know what pain medication was when he broke his leg. In another scene, the whole family kills a bull together and eats it raw.

A Fake Musical Act Joins BTS With A Major Chart Win
In the span of only a few weeks, Netflix's animated film KPop Demon Hunters has become not only one of the platform's most successful titles, but a shockingly successful new franchise in the music world. The film's corresponding soundtrack grows in terms of total consumption every week, and the original songs penned for the K-pop musical have reached beyond those who identify as fans of the South Korean musical genre and have now hit the ears of the American public at large. This week, KPop Demon Hunters manages a historic feat on one of Billboard's most important tallies — one which helps even a fictitious group stand apart as incredibly successful. 'Golden' Hits No. 1 on the Hot 100 The No. 1 song in America at the moment is 'Golden,' featured in KPop Demon Hunters. The track is credited to the made-up girl group Huntr/x, which was created for the movie. Also named on the tune are the three actual human vocalists who voiced the smash, Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami. Less than two months into its time on the Hot 100, 'Golden' lifts from No. 2 to No. 1, and in doing so makes history. 'Golden' is one of fewer than 10 K-pop tracks to rule the Hot 100. Before this frame, no girl group from that genre had ever led the charge, nor any female soloist in the K-pop space. BTS, Jimin and Jung Kook While a handful of different credited acts from the K-pop sphere have reached No. 1, they're all connected. BTS was the first K-pop name to reach the highest rung on the Hot 100. The septet — easily the biggest in the history of the style — has racked up half a dozen champions, including 'Dynamite,' 'Butter,' 'Permission to Dance,' 'Life Goes On,' as well as 'Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat),' a collaboration with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo, and 'My Universe,' a duet with Coldplay. Two members of BTS have also hit No. 1 on their own. First came Jimin, with 'Like Crazy,' and then months later, Jung Kook repeated the showing alongside rapper Latto with 'Seven.' Both ruled in 2023 with solo smashes. 'Golden' Remains a Sales and Streaming Win The Hot 100 is compiled using a methodology that blends sales, streams, and radio airplay to show which songs are being consumed at the greatest levels throughout the United States. 'Golden' is steady at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs tally, and this frame it jumps from No. 5 to No. 3 on the Digital Song Sales list, hitting a new high point. Luminate reports that in the past tracking week in America, 'Golden' sold a little more than 6,200 copies, up 35% from the period prior. 'Golden' Grows at American Radio The KPop Demon Hunters track also once again leads both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S., as it has now ranked as the biggest song in the world on and off for several frames. In America, the tune is quickly growing at radio, although it has yet to land on Billboard's Radio Songs tally. This frame, in its third turn on the Pop Airplay chart, 'Golden' rockets from No. 28 to No. 20. At the same time, it opens at No. 37 on the Adult Pop Airplay list.

YouTuber Mark Rober is getting a Netflix series
Mark Rober, a former NASA engineer now known for his science-focused stunts he publishes to more than 70 million subscribers on YouTube, will launch a competition show on Netflix in 2026. Rober will also bring 'some of his most beloved, ambitious, and informative experiments to Netflix later this year,' Netflix says. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that Netflix had talked to Rober. According to that article, Netflix has also had discussions with the creators at Dude Perfect, a channel with more than 60 million YouTube subscribers, about a new series. And earlier this year, Netflix brought videos from Ms. Rachel, known for her videos for toddlers and early education, to its platform. The push from Netflix into bringing on YouTube creators follows the success of MrBeast's Beast Games game show on Prime Video. That show debuted last year and quickly became Prime Video's 'most-watched unscripted show ever.' It has been renewed for two more seasons.
