Luxury Pranks

Luxury Pranks (born May 30, 1997) is a YouTube Star who has found his most success on the platform with his LuxuryPranks channel. His video "Homeless Woman Does Amazing Act!!" went viral. He is also known for his "Gold Digger Prank" series.

Early life & education

Parker Hajiaskari was born in Buffalo, New York. Throughout his childhood, Parker had dreamt of becoming a famous ‘YouTube’ personality, and with his perseverance, he made his dream come true. After completing middle and high school, he decided to study chemical engineering.

Before fame

He first made videos for YouTube in 2008, but did not have much success at that point.

Rise to stardom

In 2008, Parker decided to start making ‘YouTube’ videos, mainly inspired by channels such as ‘Smosh’ and ‘nigahiga.’ However, due to logistical constraints, his videos did not do well.

Throughout his middle-school and high-school days, Parker never gave up on his dream of becoming a successful “YouTuber”.

He met his co-host, Chester, during his high-school days. They continued making videos and uploading them despite not being able to attract too many viewers.

In 2015, as a final attempt at making his dream come true, Parker launched his new ‘YouTube’ Channel, ‘LuxuryPranks,’ which was inspired by existing ‘YouTube’ channels such as ‘FouseyTube’ and ‘VitalyzdTv,’ which were mostly extreme-prank channels that focused on pushing the boundaries of playing real-life tricks on people and capturing their reactions.

According to Parker, he decided to bring uniqueness in his content by moving to the genre of sting operations and reality TV and exposing real human behavior on his channel.

His first such attempt was the video ‘Catching a Catfish Part-1,’ uploaded almost a year after the channel was launched, which is also his personal favorite.

The popularity of the channel had started to dwindle when it published its first catfishing video. However, the viewership of the channel increased exponentially afterward.

In August 2018, ‘LuxuryPranks’ amassed a million subscribers.

Parker has two additional ‘YouTube’ channels, with a healthy number of subscribers each, namely, ‘Life of Luxury’ and ‘Luxury Dark’.

Trivia

He would study Chemical engineering in college. He has been a member of the webgroup LuxuryDark.

Associated with

He and Sergio Mejia are both known for their "Gold Digger Prank" videos.
