REVEALED: Man who ‘berates’ yacht owner for stealing his girls in viral video is actually a social-media character that stereotypes a young ‘rich European’ adult
The man filmed berating a yacht owner for stealing his girls is actually a social media comedian stereotyping a young ‘rich European’ kid.
New Yorker Aris Yeager (23) is the mastermind behind the viral comedy sketch, which has collectively garnered nearly 70 million likes on TikTok.
Yeager, who adopts the angry rich kid persona, posts clips of him yelling at actors for parking their Ferraris or boats in his spots, yelling at pilots when his private jets are delayed, and berating chefs for poorly cooked pasta dishes.
But apart from making the comedy videos as ‘Louis’ – a stuck-up, snobby European who eats in lavish restaurants, drives expensive cars and parties on yachts in the Mediterranean – Aris himself lives a glamorous life.
Aris and his twin brother Jason attended a $49,000-a-year private high school in Brussels, Belgium, before continuing their education in the States.
Aris Yeager (23) was pictured enjoying an extravagant evening in Mykonos, Greece. While his caricature ‘Louis’ is a joke – a look at his social media pages shows that the comic rich lifestyle is just an exaggerated version of Aris’ real life
One of his comedy clips featured his character ‘Louis’ yelling at a yacht owner
The comedian, who says he is from Athens, Greece, was student council president at the International School of Brussels before enrolling at Northeastern University.
Aris then studied business administration and entrepreneurship at the Boston, Massachusetts school while launching his viral TikTok page, The European Kid.
Professionally, he calls himself a ‘social media marketing specialist’ who has ‘received over 500 million views in six months’, growing his followers at an ‘average of 100,000 per month, leading to 1 million followers across large platforms.’
Along with his video ventures, Aris is a Business Development Representative at Lefty – an influencer marketing platform that ’empowers brands to optimize their strategy’.
His transatlantic family also has a property in Miami Beach, Florida.

Aris writes about his holidays to Swiss chalets, as well as boat days along the Croatian coast and hanging out in New York surrounded by bottles of Dom Pérignon.
While his caricature ‘Louis’ is a joke – a look at his social media pages shows that the comic rich lifestyle is just an exaggerated version of Aris’ real life.
Aris’ twin brother Jason also runs his own viral side job – My Tech CEO – where he posts comedy videos in a similar vein, characterizing entrepreneurs getting angry when their private jets are too small.
Jason – who speaks in an American accent in his videos, unlike his brother’s general European twang – went to Stanford University after studying in Brussels and Madrid.
In his most recent viral moment showing the jaw-dropping behavior of rich and entitled young Europeans, Aris plays one of two men seen in a furious fight over a dock in Miami.
The video shows the shirtless man furiously running a line towards the offending yacht, shouting as he does so.
As he walks – wearing bright, pale blue shorts and holding his black T-shirt in one hand – he can be heard shouting at the yacht’s occupant, who is sitting on a couch and looking very relaxed.

The rich kid character also posted a clip of him yelling at a chef for making him a microwave meal
‘Louis’ – played by Aris – shouts at a fellow speeding car driver to get out of his parking spot
“You think you’re a big boss because you have a boat?” the shirtless man rages. ‘Huh? And you came to my boat and tried to take my girls, my yacht?’
He throws his arms out in disgust as the man lying on his yacht looks on and looks amused.
“Go park the boat somewhere else alright,” he rants. “I don’t want to see your face on this dock.”
He then declared: ‘This is my parking space for my boat.’
The yacht owner is then seen getting up from the lounge, walking towards the railings as the shirtless man continues to rant.
“If I see you go near it, try to steal my girls again. I’m calling security on you,’ he warned.
The second man then leans over the rails of his yacht and says to the shirtless one: ‘My friend, you must take care of yourself.’
This only seems to enrage him even more, with the shirtless man angrily pointing at the yacht and snapping back: ‘I’m not your friend, I’m not your friend.’
In another sketch, Aris acting as ‘Louis’ is enraged when a Miami bouncer at a club lets ‘new money’ customers into a venue in front of him.
He shouted: ‘Do you realize who I am?’ in the bouncer’s face.
