To begin with, Lester was raised in Rossendale, Lancashire – he eventually completed his degree in English and Linguistics and later did his postgraduate studies at the Theatre, Film and Television Institute at the University of York.
Concerning his professional career, Lester uploaded his first YouTube video at the age of 19, since when his channel has grown to over 150 videos, which have attracted over 250 million views.
In his videos, Lester mostly tells about his life and his strange oddities, or less strange happenings. Other of Lester channels are LessAmazingPhil, and DanAndPhilGames played by himself and Daniel Howell. In 2011, Lester was honoured with the Guinness World Record Award for the fastest stack of coins (25 coins on each other in 31.617 seconds). In 2013, Lester and Howell were presenters of the show “Dan and Phil” on the British radio station BBC Radio 1, with the duo also interviewing artists such as Fall Out Boy at the Reading Festival. In 2014, Howell and Lester were nominated for the Teen Choice Award, then in the autumn of 2015 an autobiographical book “The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire” written by Phil Lester and Dan Howell was released, which tells of their common legacy with their YouTube career and other adventures they have had together, contributing somewhat to Lester’s net worth.
In 2016, the pair released their second book “Dan and Phil Go Outside”, and in the same year won Radio 1’s Teen Award for Best Vlogger. Also in 2016, Phil and Dan won two BONCA Awards in the categories Best Film and Collaboration of the Year. In addition, Phil Lester won a BONCA in the British Creator of the Year category. Dan and Phil are planning to visit Finland in June 2018 for their tour of “Interactive Introverts”. To conclude, all the above mentioned engagements have increased the net worth of Phil Lester.
Finally, in the personal life of Lester, currently he lives in London with Dan Howell, and they often appear in each other’s videos. Their first joint video was made in 2009, the same year they met for the first time – unsurprisingly, rumours have been flying that the two are gay.
