4:07Now Playing"South Korean pop sensation PSY -- born Park Jae-sang -- has shattered YouTube records with his earworm hit "Gangnam Style," a song that managed to eclipse even Carly Rae-Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" to become the definitive, Internet-launched smash single of 2012.
But what is that kind of runaway success worth, in dollars?
According to the Associated Press, the amount is $8.1 million in 2012 alone -- not too shabby for a virtual unknown whose personal mantra for success is "dress classy and dance cheesy."*
Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss Psy's runaway success, but it's not all from Youtube-- he's making a lot from itunes and endorsements, and somehow his father's unrelated company is seeing huge financial benefits too.
