Lucas and Marcus Dobre Net Worth | How Pranksters Got Rich
Lucas and Marcus Dobre: Their Net Worth
Both brothers have an estimated net worth of $18 million and counting. This is credited to YouTube, which pays its vlogers so much after it takes its own cut. The estimated pay rate for those posting videos is anywhere from $2-$7 per view after fees are covered.
Additionally, the brothers have enjoyed earning extra income selling merchandise of their own creation straight from their website.
Lucas and Marcus: Place and Date of Birth
These young video stars were born January 28, 1999 in Gaithersburg, Maryland. If anyone ever considered the stars, they would be born under Aquarius. And if being a fixed air sign has anything to do with it, they have used both creativity and hard work to keep moving forward in life.
Fine parentage has taught the brothers both the secret of success, and that is persistence. Their early family life reflects that attitude, and to this day, the twins are known for their dance videos with Team 10, a group they founded.
A Family of Gymnasts: In the Genes
A fine background in the gymnastic arts has given these former TwinBotz stars a background to be proud of. Their father, Boz Mofid, was a retired gymnast who was a member of the Iranian National Team for Gymnastics. Their mother, Aurelia, is from Romania and was a gymnast who participated in the 1987 Olympics as a World Champion for that same year. She had won a Bronze medal while doing the balance beam before an international audience.
So if gymnastics runs in the genes, it appears that the Dobre twins aren't in short supply. But its not just that talent that has taken their success by storm, its their unpredictable sense of humor that has won them both accolades among their fans and followers.
Dobre Pranksters?
If anyone has seen the infamous Punk'd with Ashton Kutcher, then they may believe they have seen every scheme concocted on TV. But with the internet takeover, things have gotten a little bit hotter on prank playing.
One video shows the twins on their YouTube channel showcasing their mischievous side. In it, they both plot to have Lucas's girlfriend, Yvonne, arrested as part of a prank. The story begins when the brothers wake up in their LA home while Yvonne is still getting ready for the day.
Yvonne is informed by an LAPD that she is being charged for leaving a restaurant without paying the bill. The video states that she was dining with friends in a posh restaurant and owes $180. The brothers call the officer to come and arrest her on a "warrant" that was issued by the owner. He does, and she panics, not knowing that this is part of a major prank.
It takes the end for Lucas to explain that she is clearly not under arrest, that this was all in fun. The video ends with her bolting out of the squad car and running back towards their home as Lucas calls after her.
Most people might be heading for a clean sack of clothes, but it appears that everything was settled between Yvonne and the Dobre twins. And we sincerely hope no one suffered any trauma. After all, its only a joke, right?
