“I just did a Zoom call recently with a 19 year old kid who has a game called Blocks Roots. And it makes something like sixty million dollars a year or something. In revenue.”

The claim, plainly

The Roblox game Blox Fruits, created by a 19-year-old developer, generates approximately $60 million in annual revenue.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

The claim bundles two assertions: the annual revenue of Blox Fruits and the profile/age of its developer. The financial assertion holds: independent industry estimates (including ROLearn, Playgama, and Creator Exchange) estimate Blox Fruits generated between $40 million and $70+ million annually in gross platform earnings (with 2025 rankings placing it at $68.4 million), squarely matching the 'approximately $60 million' figure. However, the developer leg is inaccurate: Blox Fruits was created and operated by Gamer Robot Inc., a multi-person studio co-founded around 2016 by developers known as rip_indra and mygame43, rather than a single 19-year-old solo creator.

ROLearn (March 2026) and Creator Exchange (2025) estimated Blox Fruits' annual gross creator earnings at $40M–$70M+ and $68.4M respectively.
Playgama Game Analytics estimated annual revenue across Robux spending, gamepasses, and subscriptions at $50M–$100M.
Blox Fruits is developed and run by Gamer Robot Inc., a studio team founded around 2016 by rip_indra and mygame43, rather than an individual 19-year-old solo developer.
