Heart-pumping dashboard footage shows popular YouTuber Jack Doherty, 20, busy on his phone in the driver’s seat along with his cameraman. 

The camera then focuses forwards, filming the final moments before streamer Jack veers right and loses control of the vehicle before it careers into the side of the dual carriageway.

Instead of seeking medical attention, Jack pulled out his phone and filmed the aftermath.

Thankfully, no serious injuries were reported, though the millionaire’s cameraman had blood on his face following the horror crash.

Doherty shot to fame on YouTube and later streaming service Kick for prank-style videos, amassing a huge net worth of $60million.

He has used his eye-popping wealth to amass an impressive fleet of luxury supercars.

In a video uploaded to his social media channels, Jack introduced his followers to his stable as he took his McLaren for a major makeover.

The flash sports car appears to be the 570GT model worth around £94,000.

That would actually make it the cheapest item in his collection.

It is joined by a £99,000 Tesla Model X and £230,000 Lamborghini Huracan.

Streamers Neon and Jack Doherty involved in ugly brawl at bare-knuckle boxing event

All three are capable of a top speed over 150mph, while the Lambo and McLaren can do over 200mph.

And by the end of his latest video, the trio are all the same colour as the McLaren was the last to be wrapped in his favourite light blue.

On top of the bodywork customisation, all of Jack’s cars have undergone expensive modifications, including to make the exhausts louder and increase their power.

Altogether, he claims that the value of the collection is more than £788,000 (US$ 1 million).

The last item in the lot is slightly more unexpected in that it appears to be a humble panel van.

The Mercedes Sprinter wouldn’t usually touch the sides of Jack’s budget at its £32,000 starting price.

However, stepping inside reveals that it has been completely overhauled as a luxury private jet on wheels with airline-style reclining chairs, large entertainment screens and WiFi capability.

It comes after Jack was involved in an ugly brawl at an event with streamer Neon in June.

The pair came face to face at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in Florida.

What is Jack Doherty’s net worth?

Despite being so young, Jack Doherty has amassed an impressive net worth for himself.

However, there are some conflicting numbers online regarding how much money Doherty really has.

According to Sportskeeda, Doherty’s net worth is reportedly around $60 million.

International Business Times estimates that Doherty is worth between $1 and $5 million.

Based on his posts on social media – and his lavish spending – Doherty’s net worth is likely in between the two figures.

The majority of his wealth seems to come from his active career as a social media personality, YouTuber, influencer, and Kick streamer.

He boasts millions of followers online, including:

Neon – real name Rangesh Mutama – was streaming live when he approached Doherty.

Both got in each other’s faces before Doherty shoved Neon sparking a brawl between them.

Security was quick to intervene as all hell broke loose in the crowd of the BKFC event.

Later on that night, while both streamers were live, Doherty mounted a second attack on Neon with their entourages again breaking it up.

Fans were quick to mock the social media stars – who have raked in millions online – while calling for their differences to be settled in the Misfits Boxing ring.

One said: “Get them in a ring.”

Another added: “Kick-off matchup for the KSI event?”

One put: “Get them on a Misfits card.”
