The man who was filmed berating a yacht owner for ‘stealing his girls’ is, in fact, a social media comedian who stereotypes a young ‘rich European’ kid.
New York-based Aris Yeager, 23, is the mastermind behind the viral comedy skits, which have collectively racked up nearly 70 million likes on TikTok.
Yeager, adopting the angry rich kid persona, posts clips of him shouting at actors for parking their Ferraris or boats in his spots, screaming at pilots when his private jets are delayed, and berating chefs for poorly cooked pasta dishes.
But aside from making the comedy videos as ‘Louis’ – a stuck-up, snobby European dining in lavish restaurants, driving expensive cars and partying on yachts in the Mediterranean – Aris lives a swanky life himself.
Aris and his twin brother Jason attended a $49,000-a-year private high school in Brussels, Belgium, before continuing their education in the States.

One of his comedy clips featured his character ‘Louis’ shouting at a yacht owner
The comedian, who says he’s from Athens, Greece, was student council president at the International School of Brussels before enrolling at Northeastern University.
Aris then studied business administration and entrepreneurship at the Boston, Massachusetts school while launching his viral TikTok page, The European Kid.
Professionally, he calls himself a ‘social media marketing specialist’ who has ‘garnered over 500 million views in six months,’ growing his followers at an ‘average of 100,000 per month, resulting in 1 million followers across major platforms.’
Alongside his video ventures, Aris is a business development representative at Lefty – an influencer marketing platform that ’empowers brands to optimize their strategy.’
His transatlantic family also have a property in Miami Beach, Florida.

Aris posts about his vacations to Swiss chalets, as well as boat days off the Croatian coast and clubbing in New York surrounded by bottles of Dom Pérignon.
While his caricature ‘Louis’ is a joke – a glance at his social media pages shows that the comedic, wealthy lifestyle is just an exaggerated version of Aris’ actual life.
Aris’ twin brother Jason also runs his own viral side hustle – My Tech CEO – where he posts comedy videos in a similar vein, characterizing entrepreneurs getting angry when their private jets are too small.
Jason – who speaks in an American accent in his videos, unlike his brother’s general European twang – went to Stanford University after studying in Brussels and Madrid.
In his most recent viral moment showing the jaw-dropping behavior of rich and entitled young Europeans, Aris plays one of the two men seen in a furious fight over a docking space in Miami.
The video shows the shirtless man angrily making a beeline towards the offending yacht, yelling as he does so.
As he walks — wearing bright, light blue shorts and carrying his black T-shirt in one hand — he can be heard yelling at the occupant of the yacht, who is sitting on a couch looking very relaxed.

And in another video, ‘Louis’ shouts at a cashier inside a convenience store for declining his European credit card

The rich kid character also posted a clip of him screaming at a chef for making him a microwave meal
‘Louis’ – played by Aris – shouts at a fellow fast car driver to get out of his parking spot
‘You think you’re a big boss because you have boat?’ the shirtless man rages. ‘Huh? And you came to my boat and try to take my girls, my yacht?’
He throws his arms out in disgust while the man lying on his yacht looks on and appears to be amused.
‘Go park the boat somewhere else okay,’ he yells. ‘I don’t want to see your face on this dock.’
He then declared: ‘This is my parking spot for my boat.’
The yacht owner is then seen getting up from the lounge, walking towards the rails while the shirtless man continues to rant.
‘If I see you go close to it, try to steal my girls again. I’m calling security on you,’ he warned.
The second man then leans over the rails of his yacht, telling the shirtless one: ‘My friend you better watch yourself.’
This only appeared to enrage him further, with the shirtless man pointing furiously at the yacht and telling back: ‘I’m not your friend man, I’m not your friend.’
In another skit, Aris acting as ‘Louis’ gets irate when a Miami bouncer at a club lets ‘new money’ customers into a venue before him.
He screams: ‘Do you realize who I am?’ in the bouncer’s face.
In another video, ‘Louis,’ shouts at a cashier inside a convenience store for declining his European credit card.
