Former Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) pro player turned YouTuber, Tobias ‘Jess No Limit’ Justin, joins this year’s prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia: Media, Marketing, and Advertising.
The 29-year-old was an ex-MLBB pro who represented Indonesia’s EVOS Legends in various local and international competitions before retiring from competitive gaming in 2019 and focusing more on content creation and entrepreneurship.
According to his Forbes 30 Under 30 profile, he started creating gaming content in 2017 and currently has a staggering 54.2 million YouTube followers.
He also attracted over 17.8 million followers on TikTok and 10 million followers on Instagram, where he usually shares videos about mobile games and daily vlog posts.
He soon started a game top-up business and shared his experience building a social media career at events and seminars.
“I am very grateful to be selected for the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia. This is a great achievement and a great honor for me. A huge thank you to MLBB for being an important first step and foundation in my career journey,” said Justin.
“Playing MLBB has not only taught me the importance of never giving up, but also shaped the way of thinking strategically, collaboratively, and innovatively. Without the MLBB community and the incredible support of Moonton Games, this achievement may never have happened,” he added.
Filipino acts and personalities, such as the nation’s girl group BINI (entertainment), Chess GM Daniel Quizon (sports), Kaya Founders’ Managing Director Raya Buensuceso (finance and venture capital), and Urban Farmer TV’s Anna Beatriz Suavengco (social impact), also join Jess No Limit in the 30 Under 30 Asia list in different industries.
The Forbes 30 Under 30 is an annual list released by Forbes magazine recognizing 30 notable individuals under 30 years old across different industries who have made significant achievements or have strong potential in their fields.
