He left college in 2014 and had was eyeing up a career as a doctor but was rejected by more than 15 medical schools.
Chang, from California, then started tutoring on side hustles for five years as well as picking up modeling jobs and starting his own business.
But he wasn’t satisfied with the amount he was earning and turned his attention to YouTube.
Chang started posting almost every day and was drawing in around a dozen views on each clip.
But also the pandemic hit in 2020, his views rocketed as users were clicking on his stimulus-related content in the US.
Chang told CNBC: “When my videos went viral, I registered for YouTube Adsense to further monetize my channel.
“That’s when my passive income journey began. In 2021, I made $1.5million dollars in revenue.”
Raking in the cash, Chang – who has 820,000 subscribers on YouTube, now enjoys a life of luxury.
His Instagram page reveals how he spends his money on supercars, plush holidays and designer brands.
One photo shows him posing beside a white Ferrari 458, which can retail for more than £200,000.
He splurged on the supercar last November – but told his followers to “prioritise experiences over material things”.
Chang wrote: “Getting this car was less surreal than when I got my 2-17 BMW 3 series four years ago.
“I remember driving home in that car, thinking I was dreaming because it was the nicest thing I had ever owned.
“So what I learned is that material things don’t really matter.
“You get desensitised to them and it’s the experiences that stay with you.”
In other photos, Chang can be seen soaking up the sunshine in a pool in Miami, sipping on a cocktail in Costa Rica and exploring Hawaii.
