Austin McBroom shares plans to remodel his YouTube channel: Read more

Austin McBroom announced in a video just this week that he will be making a comeback to YouTube. However, he will be remodeling his content to make way for all of the funds he earns to be directed to his daughter, Elle, and her siblings.

"If I'm being honest, I'm not doing it for anybody but my kids. I'm very content with not making YouTube videos, even though that was my life back then. It's literally something she's been wanting to do for a while now, and as a father I got no choice but to make it happen. Basically, the revenue goes to Elle and her siblings. And, as much as the channel is successful, that's Elle," he said.

In the video, he also claimed that Elle and his kids have more money than other YouTubers.

As for Austin McBroom's former wife, Catherine, she has been married to Igor ten since September. The pair announced in November that they were expanding their family.
