TheStradman Net Worth – Update

What is TheStradman’s net worth?

TheStradman (real name – James Condon) is an American YouTuber, automotive vlogger, and supercar enthusiast who has a net worth of $4 million.

He is widely recognized in the YouTube community as the cream of the crop reviewer of high-end vehicles.

The Origin Story

He was born on May 7, 1989, in the USA.

Condon and his three older brothers were raised by their mother and father in a strict household, something he appreciates.

He recalls his parents teaching him a set of morals he was expected to live by them from a young age.

This included an expected communication style. He credits this parenting style for his clean, respectful content, and lack of profanity.

He became interested in supercars at a young age and has stated his father’s love for cars played a part in his early exposure.

In addition, his school teacher in first or second grade owned a ‘Jaguar E Type,’ and in class, he always had vehicle magazines that featured million-dollar cars. TheStradman took an interest and spent his downtime in class going through the magazines.

He recalls that he became obsessed with exotic cars from that moment in his life.

Upon graduating high school, he attended Oregon State University and graduated with a bachelor’s of Accounting.

Following his graduation, he landed his first job working in the finance department of a construction company.

Sometime in April 2016, he was laid off from that job.

YouTube

When it comes to his YouTube channel, it went live on July 26, 2012.

It started as a side-hobby passion project.

He had no desire to become a YouTuber whatsoever. In fact, he started his channel while working in accounting and as a Car Spotter.

James wanted an outlet to post photos he would take at car shows.

He decided to transition into filming luxury car-related videos from that point on slowly.

When he learned he could make money by posting videos, he thought it would be his key to saving enough money to purchase one of his two favorite vehicles; a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

When he was laid off from his accounting job in 2016, he decided to take his YouTube career full-time, focusing on luxury car vlogs and reviews.

For TheStradman’s channel to become lucrative, he quickly realized that he would need to learn from and mimic other luxury car channels that were high-ranking.

He began regularly watching and taking notes, and he grew to build relationships with these men. As of now, they are all some of the more successful luxury and exotic car YouTubers.

James has always been shy and is never the one to speak in a crowd.

He revealed his ongoing struggles with fans surrounding him in public places and stated it gives him anxiety every time. When he isn’t in the mood to be recognized and noticed, he chooses to drive his jeep wrangler as a way to deter any unwanted attention.

During a sit-down interview, he went into detail about why he does YouTube.

“First and foremost, just a pure passion for cars. I mean, I just love cars, and YouTube has opened up so many doors and opportunities I could have never even imagined. I mean, when I started my YouTube channel, I never thought it would turn into something like this. And now it’s turned into something I would never have expected; it’s not about the money at all. I mean, the money is not needed, but at some point, there needs to be sort of that baseline that I earn to pay my bills. But it’s just a creative outlet for me.”

Condon enjoys filming collaborations with other luxury car YouTubers and has mentioned that he makes it his goal to make every new video better than the previous one.

He also makes an effort to purchase higher luxury cars as often as he can to provide a more comprehensive review of his experience driving the car.

Some of the cars he reviews are of makes and models the average public would never have heard of, and this is something he’s proud of.

He owns, on average, 20 high-end and luxury cars at one time.

When he built his dream home, it needed to include a 20-car garage.

He talks a lot about his appreciation for what YouTube has done for him and believes it is an excellent portal for anyone to pursue their dreams. He offered advice to any aspiring YouTuber passionate about creating a successful channel.

“Be yourself. Definitely 100% be yourself. I think, um, there were certain times when I first started, that I was like, I don’t know, I was afraid to film certain things because I didn’t want to get a certain reaction from people. I was trying to control the hate. That’s the biggest thing. You’re going to get hate no matter what you do. When you first start YouTube, no one’s going to watch your channel. You have to do something that people wanna watch. If you really really really want it bad enough, you have to truly dedicate yourself to doing it.

Bugatti Veyron

In September 2020, TheStradman bought a 2008 Bugatti Veyron.

”The search for my Bugatti Veyron took a long time but it was worth the process to get the right car at the right price”, James wrote on Instagram.

He pays $4,765 every month for the car. ”If I miss one payment of this car, the bank is gonna repossess it, and my credit score is gonna be in the toilet, and my financial future is gonna be flushed down a toilet … we don’t wanna miss any payments,” Condon revealed in a YouTube video.

He added: ”I bought the cheapest Bugatti Veyron I could find in the entire world – $880,000 – that’s what I paid for the car. I put down $580,000, I financed the remaining $300,000. My interest rate was 3.99%, which is pretty good.”

James paid $30k for the first car service of his Bugatti Veyron.

Girlfriend

TheStradman used to date Tessa Peay. Tessa has over 103k followers on Instagram. ”Living my best life with my girl and my floor,” James said in April 2020. Condon named his girlfriend ”Stradgirl.” They broke up in 2021.
