Keith Patrick Gill, also known as Roaring Kitty, has captured the attention of many with his role in the surge of GameStop Corp (GME) shares earlier this year.
The financial analyst, advisor, and investor revealed his investment approach through social media platforms such as YouTube and Reddit, sparking waves of interest in the stock market and investing.
Gill, born on June 8, 1986, in Brockton, Massachusetts, previously worked for MassMutual before stepping down on January 28, 2021. As a Chartered Financial Analyst, he created educational content for MassMutual’s In Good Company initiative, aimed at making financial education more accessible.
Since his departure, Gill has focused on social media and private investing, regularly posting on subreddits like r/wallstreetbets under the username DeepF*ckingValue (DFV).
After a three-year hiatus, Gill made a notable return to social media in May 2024, revealing a massive $260 million position in GameStop. This staggering amount has placed his net worth close to $300 million, as analyzed by financial experts.
On his YouTube channel, Gill shares his daily investment process and research, emphasizing a hands-on approach to building an investment strategy. With nearly 1 million subscribers and over 14 million views, his channel has become a go-to destination for those interested in understanding his investment thesis and financial strategies.
Gill’s impact on the GameStop stock price dates back to 2019 when he shared a $53,000 investment in the video game retailer online. Through tweets, videos, and live-streams, he attracted a following of individual investors who rallied behind GameStop, challenging hedge funds and shaking up the stock market.
In light of his influence, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tanev and other industry figures recently faced questioning from lawmakers regarding trading restrictions and market volatility.
Gill’s remarkable success and unorthodox approach to investing have inspired a new generation of traders to rethink traditional investing norms and take a stand against Wall Street conventions.
