Remember the popular “Charlie Bit Me” video posted in 2007? Well guess what! The video has been viewed more than 436 million times on YouTube, which makes it the most-watched viral video on the Internet, and has made a half-million dollars from ads that surrounds it.
Harry and his brother Charlie are the stars of “Charlie Bit Me”, age one and three from Thames Valley, England. But now they are all grown up, Harry is 8, and the famous Charlie is 6 years old.
According to ABC News, the father, Howard Davies-Carr said he considered taking the video down at that point — but didn’t, because there were already many parody videos and copies on other websites. Once the video reached 50 million views, the family began raking in cash from YouTube ads and television spots.
The family started a blog in 2009 to document the kids’ lives. They also have a Twitter account, @harryandcharlie, a YouTube channel with other videos of their boys (there are four), and a Facebook page.
