The siblings, who call themselves Krew, run the @ItsFunneh YouTube channel, which has nearly seven million subscribers

The five siblings work together each day in an office they rent.

Kat, the middle sibling who is “mischievous” and “likes to prank,” does the final video polishing, and Wenny, who is “chill” , draws the thumbnails and other art for the channel.The group says they treat the channel as a business – which makes sense, as entrepreneurship runs in their family.Krew's online business has grown enough, the group says, that they can 'live comfortably' and not worry about bills any more.

It wasn’t easy. “If the business wasn’t going well, it was always a thought in the back of our heads: ‘Can we pay rent this month?’ ” Betty said. “We started making money, and we were like: whoa, this could actually pay off your tuition,” Kat said.
