Ben Tardif Net Worth 2026: Stuntman and Marble Machine YouTuber

No reputable outlet has published an estimate of Ben Tardif's net worth. An earlier version of this page gave a figure of $8 million, plus yearly, monthly and daily income numbers, with no source; we have removed them. What can be documented is how he works: Tardif is a Southern California stunt performer with film and TV credits going back to 2016, and a woodworker whose YouTube channel is known for large, hand-built marble machines.

What is Ben Tardif's net worth?

There is no published net worth figure for Tardif from Forbes, Celebrity Net Worth or any other outlet that explains its method. He is not a public company executive, he has not sold a business, and he has not disclosed his YouTube or stunt earnings. Any single number for his wealth would be a guess.

Two things are known about his income. First, stunt work is paid per day or per job, and his credits list shows steady work as a stunt double on streaming films and series. Second, his YouTube channel earns from video views and has at least one video that drew wide press coverage. Neither income stream has been reported in dollars.

Tardif has also been open that his biggest build was expensive. Asked about the cost of his Marble Mountain machine, he said, as quoted by The A.V. Club, "even my fiancée doesn't know that number."

Ben Tardif's yearly earnings, monthly income and salary

His salary is not public. The income table that appeared here before (about $250,000 a year, $20,000 a month and $694 a day) did not come from any source, and we could not find anything that supports it.

What drives his income is a mix of the following, none of which has a published figure:

• Stunt work. Film and TV credits as a stunt performer and stunt double (listed below).
• YouTube. Build videos on his channel, mainly marble machines, workshop projects and home renovations.
• Live stunt shows. His first YouTube upload was a clip from a stunt show at Knott's Berry Farm, the theme park in Buena Park, California.

Who is Ben Tardif?

Earlier versions of this page described Tardif as an English YouTuber who worked on American Horror Stories. We found no source for either claim. Wikitubia, the fan wiki for YouTube creators, lists him as an American YouTuber living in Orange, California. Business Insider described him in 2016 as a stuntman and woodworker, which matches his credits.

Ben Tardif's wife

No reliable source names a wife. In 2016 The A.V. Club quoted him referring to his fiancée, but her name has not been reported, and we do not speculate about the private life of people who are not public figures.

Education

This page previously said he studied drama and scenic design at UC Irvine. We could not verify that from any published source, so we have removed it. His building work suggests hands-on carpentry and design skills, but where he learned them has not been reported.

Professional life: stunt work

The Movie Database lists Tardif, also credited as Benjamin Tardif, as a stunt double on these productions:

He also appears as a stunt performer on the FX series Legion, in the season two episode "Chapter 12", according to the Marvel Movies wiki. Source: The Movie Database.

YouTube and Marble Mountain

According to Wikitubia, Tardif opened his YouTube channel on November 30, 2011, but did not post his first video until April 22, 2014. That clip showed a stunt show performance at Knott's Berry Farm. His next upload, in August 2015, featured the marble track that made his name.

That project, Marble Mountain, drew coverage from Business Insider and The A.V. Club in April 2016. The main facts from those reports:

• He spent about three years building it, and it was still being painted when the video came out.
• It is made of 25 themed sections that fit together, with 32 possible paths for the marbles.
• A spiral lift carries marbles from the bottom to the top, and the machine can run 300 marbles (steel ball bearings) at once.
• Sections copy real places such as Lombard Street, the Golden Gate Bridge, Times Square and the Great Wall of China, alongside a racetrack, ski jump, bowling alley, skate park and mini golf course.
• Setting it up or taking it down takes about an hour, and filming every moving part for the seven-minute video took nearly a week.

Business Insider reported that his Reddit post of the video passed 5,000 upvotes within 13 hours. Since then his channel has covered other builds, including a mini golf marble machine, two-player pinball machines, workshop setups and backyard renovations.

His date of birth, height and weight have not been published by any reliable source. The previous version of this page gave an age of 24, a height of 5 feet 7 inches and a weight of 91 kg with no source, and those details have been removed. His credits since 2016 mean he has been working as an adult stunt performer for at least a decade.
