💰 9-Year-Old Spends $118,000 on YouTube Ads Without Parents' Permission

A 9-year-old YouTuber spent $118,000 promoting his Minecraft and Roblox videos after gaining access to his father's corporate card. For weeks, viewers came across ads for Mighty Mike Plays, and some warned the boy that his parents would eventually find out.

Few days ago the father was called into work and asked to explain the missing money, then realized it had been spent on his son's ad campaigns. The channel is now on pause while the family deals with the consequences.
