Unmasked: Viral Video Exposes ‘Berating’ Man as a Fictional Social-Media Persona, Stereotyping Wealthy European Individuals’

The man who was filmed berating a yacht owner for ‘stealing his girls’ is in fact a social media comedian stereotyping a young ‘rich European’ child.

New York-based Aris Yeager, 23, is the mastermind behind the viral comedy sketches, which have racked up nearly 70 million likes on TikTok.

Adopting the angry rich kid persona, Yeager posts clips of him yelling at actors for parking their Ferraris or boats in his spots, yelling at pilots when his private jets are delayed, and berating chefs for poorly prepared pasta dishes.

But apart from making the comedy videos as ‘Louis’ – a snooty, snobbish European who dines in lavish restaurants, drives expensive cars and parties on yachts in the Mediterranean – Aris himself lives a chic life.

Aris and his twin brother Jason attended a $49,000-a-year private high school in Brussels, Belgium, before continuing their education in the United States.

In one of his comedy clips, his character ‘Louis’ shouted at a yacht owner

The comedian, who says he is from Athens, Greece, was student council president at the International School of Brussels before enrolling at Northeastern University.

Aris went on to study business and entrepreneurship at school in Boston, Massachusetts, while launching his viral TikTok page, The European Kid.

Professionally, he calls himself a “social media marketing specialist” who has “accumulated more than 500 million views in six months,” growing his followers “an average of 100,000 per month, resulting in 1 million followers on major platforms.”

In addition to his video activities, Aris is a business development representative at Lefty – an influencer marketing platform that ’empowers brands to optimize their strategy’.

His transatlantic family also has an estate in Miami Beach, Florida.

Aris himself has led a chic life: he came from Athens, studied in Belgium, before moving to the east coast

Aris writes about his holidays to Swiss chalets, but also about boat days off the Croatian coast and clubbing in New York, surrounded by bottles of Dom Pérignon.

While his “Louis” caricature is a joke, a look at his social media pages reveals that the comical wealthy lifestyle is just an exaggerated version of Aris’ real life.

Aris’ twin brother Jason also runs his own viral side business – My Tech CEO – where he posts similarly comedic videos characterizing entrepreneurs who get angry when their private jets are too small.

Jason – who speaks in an American accent in his videos, in contrast to his brother’s general European tone – attended Stanford University after studying in Brussels and Madrid.

In his latest viral moment showcasing the breathtaking behavior of rich and affluent young Europeans, Aris plays one of two men seen in a furious fight over a dock in Miami.

The video shows the shirtless man angrily charging towards the offending yacht while shouting.

As he walks – wearing bright, light blue shorts and holding his black T-shirt in one hand – you can hear him shouting at the yacht’s occupant, who is sitting on a sofa and looking very relaxed.

And in another video, “Louis” yells at a supermarket cashier for declining his European credit card

The rich boy also posted a video of himself shouting at a chef for making him a microwave meal

‘Louis’ – played by Aris – shouts at a fellow fast driver to get out of his parking space

“Do you think you’re a big boss because you have a boat?” the shirtless man rages. ‘Hey? And you came to my boat and tried to take my girls, my yacht?”

He throws out his arms in disgust as the man lying on his yacht looks on and seems amused.

“Go park the boat somewhere else, okay,” he shouts. “I don’t want to see your face on this dock.”

He then stated, “This is my parking spot for my boat.”

The yacht’s owner is then seen getting up from the lounge and walking to the rails as the shirtless man continues to rant.

“If I see you getting close, try stealing my girls again. I’m calling security,” he warned.

The second man then leans over the railing of his yacht and tells the shirtless one, “My friend, you better watch yourself.”

This only seemed to infuriate him even more, with the shirtless man pointing angrily at the yacht and saying back, “I’m not your friend, I’m not your friend.”

In another sketch, Aris, performing as “Louis,” becomes enraged when a Miami bouncer at a club lets “new money” customers into a venue ahead of him.

He shouts: ‘Do you realize who I am?’ in the bouncer’s face.
