Man on the Verge of Losing Job After 9-Year-Old Spends Over $118,000 Using His Company’s Credit Card to Advertise YouTube Channel

Man claims he is on the verge of losing his job after his 9-year-old son spent over $118,000 from his company card on his YouTube channel.

On September 15, 2026, gaming YouTuber Mighty Mike Plays uploaded a video titled Message from Dad…Mighty Mike Plays Is Over. The nine-year-old YouTuber was replaced by his father in the video, who revealed that his son had spent $118,000 of his company’s money. According to Mike’s father, his son used the company credit card details that had been saved to his YouTube account to purchase advertising for his channel. He explained that he had previously saved the card information after purchasing Robux at his son’s request.

Addressing Mighty Mike’s viewers, his father revealed this at the 4:10 mark:

“A while back, Mikey asked if he could buy some Robux…. Totally normal, harmless request. I put in the card information myself, figured that that was that…. Saving my company’s card meant it was just going to sit there afterward…. I’m not blaming him for what happens here…. He’s only nine, he didn’t fully understand what a company card meant….”

He later revealed that he had initially spent $20 on a small advertising campaign. He did this after his son told him that his channel was not receiving any views or subscribers. However, Mike’s father said that his nine-year-old son later spent a much larger amount on his own ad campaigns. This resulted in a loss of $118,000. At the 6:30 mark, he said:

“He had gone in there and uploaded his own campaigns and stuff…. I had put like $20. He didn’t really register that there should be some kinda limit…. Turns out a nine-year-old gets access to an ad account with no limits and the credit card says approved no matter what, he does not think that what he’s doing is wrong.”

Mike’s father revealed that his manager and other colleagues had questioned him about the large sum of money that had disappeared from the account. He said that he is currently working to resolve the situation. The father also suggested that he could be on the verge of losing his job. He said this at the 7:07 mark:

“I get a message today from work…. I was not even close to prepared to what actually happened…. They asked me very calmly…. ‘Hey, can you explain the $118,000 that’s been spent on this account?…. ‘ I’m having a personal crisis at that point…. There’s a real chance that I end up personally having to pay some of that, or all of that back…. So, I’m still waiting to find out if I have a job…. We’re gonna figure this out as a family.”

He also speculated about whether the story was genuine, noting that, based on the number of outlets reporting on it, he believed the incident was real. At the 20:36 mark, he said:

“I got really sad listening to his father here towards the end of the video, just being clearly devastated…. The father says the future of the Mighty Mike channel is unknown, and that he believes he’s going to allow his son to come back to his channel at some point but with like real guardrails…. I had to yap about this when I learned about it. When I learned that it’s most likely legitimate. You see all the time these blatant attempts to farm a viral story…. This to me had all the makings of that…. But looking into it, it seems like it is a real story.”
