Some people hate him and others love him, but one thing for sure about Kurt Caz is his ability to deliver top entertainment in his videos. The YouTuber has dedicated several years of his life to traveling the world to show the true and raw realities of many countries and communities to the rest of the world.
While Kurt has found himself in many difficult and sometimes dangerous situations, his ingenuity and inventive ways have many times got him out of trouble in one piece This type of content has prompted Kurt’s growth on the internet as a content creator, allowing him to secure a lifestyle hardly affordable to many, as it involves money, luxuries, and hanging out with beautiful girls in faraway countries.
So what’s going on with Kurt Caz? How much money does he have? Who are his girlfriends, and how is his lifestyle when he’s not traveling the world looking for adventure? Keep with us to find out!
Lifestyle: Places He’s Been To
One great thing about Kurt Caz’s content is how varied it is. From luxury hotels in Dubai to slums in South America, Kurt’s created his brand around showing the contrast between the lifestyles of people from a wide variety of places around the world, never shying away from showing both the best and the worst of every country he visits.
Seeing that traveling is the thing that Kurt does most throughout the year, his lifestyle is all about the thrill of visiting all types of destinations, while having fun. Kurt has also been exposed to some danger for being too bold and daring in some of his tourist activities, such as the time he was deported from the Dominican Republic for illegally crossing the border to Haiti, where he was also scammed.
Nonetheless, all the positive and negative things Kurt has found along the way make his video content so interesting and addictive. The more than three million subscribers on his YouTube channel can attest to how incredibly engrossing and fascinating Kurt’s adventures are. Unsurprisingly, the South African backpacker’s videos have surpassed the one billion view count, without talking about the success he’s founded on Instagram too.
Net Worth
According to reports, Kurt Caz’s net worth is estimated at up to $2.5 million, based on the sponsorships he ha’s attracted thanks to the fame he’s built throughout the years he’s been an online creator. Unlike fellow YouTube creators with a similar number of subscribers who gain juicy amounts from the sponsored ads that the platform runs on their videos, Kurt affirmed in 2022 that his main channel wasn’t affiliated with any sponsor, and that he didn’t plan on changing that. Instead, Kurt focuses on promoting brands in his videos and casual social media posts.
Kurt’s secondary channel – Kurt Caz 2 – is indeed monetized, though it’s fair to point out that this channel is less active and well-known than his main one, with just over 140,000 subscribers accumulated to date. The earnings from this channel are unknown, though.
Knowing all these interesting aspects about Kurt’s finances makes it safe to say that he affords his travels, and has built his fortune mostly through direct business partnerships.
How Did Kurt Make His Fortune?
Despite focusing his efforts on showing his travels and the social reality of the destinations he visits, Kurt doesn’t shy away from revealing details about his personal life, that the most loyal part of his audience is always pleased to learn about.
One of the most surprising facts about Kurt Caz is his humble background. As he revealed to the podcast “Not Bothered” in 2022, Kurt didn’t have enough money during his late teens to afford high-quality shoes, having no other option but to ponder for a long time about purchasing $30 worth of shoes, for example.
Kurt’s desire to improve his lifestyle prompted him to put a lot of effort and creativity into creating videos. It was his friend Martin Mulvey who initially encouraged Kurt to create content, and gave him ideas about what to do with his growing channel.
Nonetheless, after hitting one million subscribers, Kurt fell into a spiral of depression, because he realized that he’d already accomplished his goals with the channel, including financial. There was a six-month long period when Kurt wasn’t motivated to continue, before finding a way forward by officially associating with Mulvey to push Kurt’s channel further, through the pair’s agency Ruthless Agency in late 2022.

Girlfriends
Besides the impressive and often astounding places Kurt Caz visits in his videos, there’s another aspect of his content that people find quite entertaining. That is his romantic life, which has two women at the center of debate among his fans.
The first is Marianny Dey, a young woman from Venezuela whom Kurt met while traveling South America. She was one of the people outside Kurt’s friends who was more prominently featured in his videos, and it quickly became obvious that he and Dey were in a relationship.
The couple broke up in early 2022, but the reasons are unclear. As Kurt revealed to the “Not Bothered” podcast, he ended the relationship during his depression and because there was ‘some toxic stuff going on there’ but also affirmed that he had nothing negative to say about Dey.
In 2023, Kurt introduced his new girlfriend Alejandra in the videos of his stay in the United Arab Emirates and Dubai. The information about Alejandra is limited outside Kurt’s videos, though it’s known she’s also Venezuelan, and has served Kurt as a tourist guide in the South American country. However, it’s unclear whether the couple is still together, after Kurt’s latest stay in Venezuela in mid-2024.
What Happened To His Girlfriends?
Though it’s unclear if Kurt is romantically involved with all the women featured in his videos, many of his followers assume that he is. That’s the case of Ana Paula Kampos, a Brazilian Indigenous woman who was featured in one of Kurt’s videos, and was theorized to be dating Kurt too. She’s very active on Instagram, but didn’t take the YouTube route of content creation.
It’s a different case for his ex-girlfriend Marianny Dey, who nowadays has a YouTube channel on which she shares her travel adventures with more than 270,000 subscribers. She’s also built a community on Patreon, sharing exclusive pictures and other content with over 1,000 members.
While Kurt’s Venezuelan girlfriend Alejandra’s social media presence only extends to a rarely updated Instagram account, that hasn’t stopped her from gaining over 30,000 followers in a fairly short time.
Last but not least there’s Maria Peinado, an Indigenous princess and activist featured in one of Kurt’s videos in Venezuela. In late 2024, she participated in the Miss Venezuela national pageant contest.
Whether or not all of these women have been involved with Kurt is up to debate, but one thing for sure is that he has a great time with ladies wherever he goes, which definitely adds to the appeal of his content and growing brand.
