Markiplier Girlfriend: Who is the YouTuber Dating?
From humble roots as a gaming YouTuber, Markiplier has grown to be one of the highest-earning and most-followed viral stars.
The YouTuber – real name Mark Edward Fischbach – now has almost 32 million subscribers, with 10 million also following his life on Instagram.
Fans who have followed Markiplier for a long time will have seen one person pop up pretty often – Markiplier’s girlfriend. But who is she, and what do we know about her?
Let’s find out…
Who is Markiplier’s Girlfriend?
Markiplier has been in a long-term relationship with Amy Nelson since 2015. Her Twitter bio tells us that she is a “ceramics & interactive media maker”. She is 26 years old.
Rumours started surfacing of Markiplier’s relationship in 2016. In that year, Markiplier attended VidCon with Amy, where they snapped photos together.
That day, Amy captioned a photo on Twitter “what more do you want from us heck” – possibly alluding to fan support for their relationship and a call for more photos together.

In 2020, Amy confirmed that their relationship had actually been going on for longer than fans thought. She posted a loving picture of the pair together along with the caption: “5 years so we’re allowed to be a lil corny!”
This suggests that Markiplier and his girlfriend had actually been dating since September 2015 and that they already had an established relationship when they attended VidCon a year later.
She made her first appearance on Markiplier’s YouTube channel on a ‘Don’t Laugh Challenge,’ and since then has been a part of his production team.
Amy was also a big part of Markiplier’s now-defunct YouTube channel ‘Unus Annus’, which only existed for one year.
Markiplier Net Worth
With his millions of subscribers and 17.5 billion video views, there’s a good chance that Markiplier himself is making millions of dollars through his YouTube channel.
But what is his exact net worth?
In fact, his net worth is rumoured to be around $38 million. That makes him the third highest-paid YouTubers, behind MrBeast and Jake Paul.
He boosted his income with his second YouTube channel Unus Annus, which ran for just one year. He sold merchandise associated with the series and boosted his earnings by nearly double with those videos alone.

Markiplier’s girlfriend, Amy Nelson, has a reported net worth of around $400,000. But with Markiplier’s millions, she’s certainly not worried about money.
Unsurprisingly, the couple lives in Los Angeles, the seat of the entertainment industry. They used to live in the trendy Echo Park area, where Markiplier bought a $1.6 million three-bed house in 2016.
In 2021, Markiplier upgraded his house, purchasing a $4 million estate that used to be owned by none other than rapper Donald Glover. The contemporary home has 3,300 square feet of living space with four bedrooms and panoramic views of the Angeles National Forest.
On his net worth, though, Markiplier has previously said: “It’s probably less than what the estimates say, but it’s more than I deserve.”
Markiplier’s Career
Markiplier started out with simple gaming walkthrough videos, but since then has become a respected content creator.
His one-year YouTube video project with co-host Crankgameplays Ethan, Unus Annus, won a Streamy award last year for Best Collaboration.
In 2020, his YouTube Originals series A Heist with Markiplier also won a Streamy for Scripted Series.
But Markiplier started from humble beginnings.

Simon Guobadia Net Worth: Everything We Know About The RHOA Star
Mark Fischbach was born in Hawaii but grew up in Cincinnati. His father is an American Army veteran and his mother is from Korea.
He set up a YouTube channel in 2012 when he was 22 years old. He started by posting playthroughs of games including Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Dead Space.
At the time, Mark was studying engineering at the University of Cincinnati. However, he made the bold decision to drop out, move to Los Angeles, and pursue YouTube full-time.
This paid off handsomely. In 2014, he started his playthrough of Five Nights at Freddy’s, which became one of his most-viewed series ever.
He’s mentioned that many people questioned his choice to drop out of college. He said: “I dropped out when I was two semesters away from graduating. I had almost completed my degree but I was doing YouTube and going to school and finals for my senior project were coming up.
I wanted to dedicate myself to YouTube, I wanted to take a risk.”
