The teen from Smithtown, New York now spends eight hours a day playing Fortnight on weekdays, after taking online high school courses, WABC-TV reported.

On weekends, he plays the video game as much as 18 hours a day, which even he confesses is too much.

'It's kind of like my job,' Griffin explained to the ABC affiliate.

Griffin has become a celebrity of sorts due to his YouTube channel, which has more than 1 million subscribers. 

Viewers tune in to watch the young gamer, who goes by the name Skeptic, compete in the online battle royale game. 

Money has rolled in from subscriber donations, online ads and sponsorship deals.

He has drawn a cult following who love watching him play Fortnight on YouTube

His parents have helped Griffin set up a company and hired a financial advisor to help him handle the income. 

'I want parents to know that, you know, if their kids do enjoy playing games and they have a passion for it and they're really good at it, they should treat it as any other sport,' Griffin's father Chris Spikoski said. 

Griffin says he plans to save the money he's made, and someday spend it on college or a house.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
