Newly crowned King of the Jungle AngryGinge treated himself to 24 hours of luxury in Monaco with F1 world champion Lando Norris before heading into the Australian jungle
Streamer AngryGinge has just been crowned King of the Jungle after winning this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, but it seems the YouTube star already had a taste of luxury life with none other than F1 winner Lando Norris.
Morgan Braithwaite, who goes by AngryGinge, boarded a British Airways flight to Nice, France, before travelling to Monaco with his team to meet up with Lando, in a bid to spend 24 hours in the driver’s life.
Lando has just taken home a crown of his own, winning the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend in a thrilling championship fight with teammate Oscar Piastri and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

A year prior, the 26-year-old hosted AngryGinge in his home, serving him a racers lunch of pulled chicken tacos, lime, pineapple, and slaw, which Ginge claimed tasted like “sh*t”, before shadowing Lando in his usual training plan.
Ginge said he “can’t imagine [being an F1 driver is] hard, he sits on his a*** all day” but struggled during the gym workout. He then tried out a cryochamber, set at minus 105 degrees, and insisted on keeping his Crocs on, despite warnings that they’d be “really cold” after.
Ginge also tried out neck workouts that are necessary for F1 driving, due to to counteract the immense G-forces (up to 6G or more) experienced in corners. “It’s fascinating and I don’t even watch the sport,” Ginge commented.
Lando took Ginge and the rest of the team on a road trip in his Lamborghini, and along the way they stopped to enjoy some crepes. Lando liked them so much he ended up licking his plate clean. Later, he surprised everyone by treating them to a helicopter ride over Monaco.
The British racer’s earnings have steadily climbed since his debut season, and in 2024 he inked a lucrative new agreement keeping him at McLaren through to 2027. The deal is believed to net him approximately $21million (£15million) annually.
Taking into account this contract along with his various sponsorship deals with brands like Richard Mille, Monster Energy and PlayStation, Celebrity Net Worth places his wealth at roughly $70million (£52million).
When he signed his new deal last January, Norris remarked: “It’s a great feeling… I’ve grown up with McLaren and feel at home here, the team are like family to me.
“The journey so far has been exciting. We’ve had ups and downs, but last season showed our desire to get back to competing at the front of the grid.”
Meanwhile, in the last year alone, AngryGinge is predicted to have made an impressive fortune between £804,000 and £1.1 million – just from social media. A far cry from his first-ever Twitch stream.
Morgan launched his career five years ago on the streaming platform, where users can watch and broadcast live videos, often video game content. Here, they can earn money from subscriptions, adverts and Bits, a virtual currency which can be used to support creators.
His first video, in which he streamed FIFA in October 2020, drew inspiration from Castro1021. But he peaked at just 40 viewers in his first stream, banking a small sum of £12.44. Several months after launching his channel, he took a break as he had averaged between six and seven viewers. But a year later, he returned with a regular streaming schedule during the week and went on to amass a huge number of subscribers.
