What is Tommy “Tj” Sotomayor’s net worth?

Introduction

Tommy Sotomayor, aka ‘Mr. Controversy’ is an American film producer, YouTuber, and internet talk show host, who rose to fame after posting his controversial social media videos.

He is known for speaking out against common public opinion and shining light on the opposing side of stories.

While he is known as a controversial talking head in America, he has a strong voice on issues he feels passionate about. He has a significant online presence with fans and interested viewers across the digital space.

The Origin Story

Tommy was born Thomas Jerome Harris, on December 11, 1975, in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S., where his mother and father raised him.

Later in life, his family relocated to Phoenix, Arizona.

There is not much more known about his childhood and family life as he does prefer to keep this information private and does not speak about it during interviews.

YouTube

His YouTube career began on July 2, 2012, when his channel, “SotomayorTV2,” went live.

His on-camera presence and the type of content he produced would prove to be likable, as his channel would garner over 93 million views to date.

He uploaded the first video to the channel “Top 10 Reasons Sista’s Can’t Be Trusted!” While this is a risky topic, particularly expressing negative opinions on women, he felt it was important to discuss it. Surprisingly, this video garnered his first viewers, and his fan base grew there.

Following this, he uploaded a second video that would be the one to propel his large following.

The video was titled “Woman Gets Pregnant By 13-Year-Old-Boy!” Due to the title’s clickbait nature, his channel grew, and it was clear that his viewers enjoyed his type of content.

Over the next few years, the video would accumulate over 7 million views, which is impressive for a new YouTuber with no digital influence. He is definitely known in the youtube space for having a loud voice on topics that many other commentators are afraid to speak about in fear of their brand.

While most of his following videos did exceptionally well, the next big hit was his video uploaded on January 28, 2016, titled “How Savage Are Blacks In America & Why Is Everyone Afraid To Discuss It?”

While this title can be viewed negatively, it was another big hit with his viewers, garnering nearly 2 million views.

He also created a few other channels, one of them being “Tommy Sotomayor (MrMadness Sotomayor),” “Tommy Sotomayor News Raw,” and “Tommy Sotomayor Back In Action!”

Most of his channels are centered around the same type of content, but they each have their unique variation. However, some of his channels have been deleted so he can focus on his career as a podcaster, talk show host, and political commentator.

During the onset of 2016, Tommy started receiving calls from other well-known conservative political commentators to appear on their shows. Taking these opportunities would prove to be a strategic benefit to his brand. It would allow him to reach a much larger audience, giving him far more recognition than he originally had.

He had a few appearances on “On Point with Tomi Lahren,” “The Blaze,” which is primarily aired on YouTube, “One America News Network,” and “The Rubin Report”

Radio Show

Tommy also has a radio show which is available on the listen and view as a podcast, and clips are also uploaded to youtube. He will often invite guests to the show and take calls from viewers and listeners.

The purpose of the calls is to open the floor to debate as his goal is to prove his way of thinking has merit and reason. He is unafraid to talk about his thoughts as they are seemingly unpopular compared to the majority of America.

A Fatherless America

In 2016, Tommy took his media career one step further and directed a documentary titled “A Fatherless America.”

In June 2019, the 1 hr. 25 mins documentary was released, and the premise was to document and shed light on single mother households in America, which he believes is the cause of poverty, crime, and disparities.

Although this is another fragile topic to cover, it surprisingly received good reviews, including 88% from IMDb and 88% from Google users.

Tommy also manages his personal website www.tommysotomayor.com where fans can read news articles, view live shows, and become members with exclusive access.

Additionally, he does tours and gives speaking engagements, and all his tour dates can be found on his website. In addition, anyone visiting the site will have access to buy or rent a copy of his documentary as it is only available for streaming on specific movie platforms.

Trivia

In 2013, former professional basketball player Jason Collins made headlines for coming out as gay.

”I wish I wasn’t the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, ‘I’m different,’” said Jason. He added: ”If I had my way, someone else would have already done this.”

Jason was the first active male athlete from the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL to publicly do so. At the time, Tommy called Collins ”a fraud” and ”a liar.”

Tommy was a guest on the TV series ”Dishing Tea with Big Meach” and ”On Point with Tomi Lahren.”
