Street racing influencer Squeeze Benz always concealed his face behind his helmet in every piece of content he uploaded to his YouTube channel or Instagram, so he always remained unidentifiable.
But, on May 16, he got arrested for uploading videos that display his reckless driving, violating the traffic rules, and evading police across the streets of NYC and the Tri-State area.
Six days later, NYDP Deputy Commissioner Kaz tweeted about Squeeze’s arrest, writing, “One of the most prolific street racers in NYC can no longer treat the Big Apple like the Indy 500.”
After that, Squeeze’s real identity gradually gets exposed. The Newark NJ Dept Public Safety, while detailing an unlawful act of Squeeze on its Instagram post, revealed that Squeeze is a 19-year-old boy originally from Queens, New York, and his real name is Antonio Ginestri.
Meanwhile, Squeeze is currently in custody, which will obviously affect his flourishing social media career and earnings.
Squeeze Benz is most likely to lose the valuable assets, Black BMW, after the incident
As reports suggest, Youtuber Squeeze Benz was driving a black BMW without a front and back license plate when officials caught him on a charge of eluding. So, it’s obvious that the police also took his car under control.
While informing about Squeeze’s arrest, NYDP Deputy said that in any case of reckless driving, one needs to be cautious, writing, “You will be arrested and your car will be seized. You will face justice.”
The clear-cut tweet hinted that Squeeze will probably lose his BMW, which costs between $75,295 and $96,695. Well, that’s a huge loss to him.

But that’s not the only asset collection Squeeze has. According to sources, he also owns a Lamborghini Urus SUV that reportedly costs above $245,000 in the United States.
Looking at all this, he appears to belong to a well-off family. Further, Squeeze has also accumulated a lot of money as a social media influencer. His videos on his YouTube channel and Instagram got thousands of views, earning him a lot of money.
Three months ago, Squeeze uploaded a video on his channel titled ‘Drifting through TimesSquare’, which received 4.5 million views.
According to reports, one million views on YouTube videos equals $30,000. Thus, the street racer must have accumulated over $120,000 from that single video.
So, based on all this, it won’t be wrong to speculate that Squeeze Benz is a millionaire. But now that he is under the law, his net worth might decrease.
