If you’ve spent any time in the gaming corner of YouTube, you’ve definitely seen FGTeeV Chase. To his millions of fans, he’s “Lightcore Chase”—a kid who basically grew up right in front of us. It’s wild to think he started out as a toddler unboxing Skylanders toys.
Now that we’re in 2026, he’s a massive part of the FGTeeV brand and a legit gamer in his own right. Whether he’s carrying a chaotic Roblox session or pulling off a win in Fortnite, Chase has moved way past the “little brother” label.
Age and Birthday
Chase Alexander Carter was born on September 22, 2011, in North Carolina, which makes him 14 years old today. He’s been a YouTube regular since 2013, but his recent videos show a much more mature, teenage side that fans are really loving.
He still has that “Lightcore” energy that made him famous, but these days, he’s more of a strategist for the family’s big gaming competitions and vlogs.

Family and Brand Identity
Chase is the third in a family of four children of Vincent Carter (Duddy) and Samantha Carter (Moomy). He belongs to a very close group of his sister Alexis (Lexi), his brother Michael (Mike) and his younger brother Shawn.
In late 2024, the family began to be much more open concerning their faith. They even changed the FGTeeV acronym to mean For Gods Truth, Every Effort Victorious. Chase most of the time plays the role of the interpreter between the elder siblings and little Shawn, therefore making him the force that keeps their Family Gaming Team videos going.
Career Milestones
Chase’s career isn’t just about playing games; it’s about a whole multimedia brand. He has billions of views across the FGTeeV and FV FAMILY channels, but he’s also a big deal in the book world now.
- Graphic Novels: On September 30, 2025, the family dropped Campfire Tales #2: The Werehouse, with Chase’s character taking the lead in the story.
- Independent Content: He also has his own side projects, like the Chase-Tsu channel, where he plays whatever he’s personally into outside of the main family videos.
Net Worth
Exact bank details for a 14-year-old are obviously private, but the FGTeeV brand is estimated to be worth between $38 million and $50 million in 2026. This is way more than just “YouTube money.” The family has a massive empire built on New York Times best-selling books, mobile apps like Prop Hunt X, and a huge toy line you can find at places like Target and Walmart.
