Mangel Biography: YouTube, Religion, Girlfriend, Age, Ethnicity, Instagram, Net Worth, Height

Miguel Ángel Rogel, widely known online as Mangel or by his channel name mangelrogel, is a Spanish gaming creator who built an audience long before “streamer” became a mainstream job title.

He started his YouTube channel in 2006, and his visibility grew through early-era internet gaming uploads and collaborations inside Spain’s creator scene.

Over time, his on-camera partnership with El Rubius became one of his biggest accelerators, and later projects like Karmaland helped renew attention around his content and live presence as Twitch grew into a major platform for Spanish-speaking gaming.

Early Life and education

Miguel Ángel Rogel is now, at the age of 34, and was born on May 26, 1991, in Esplugues de Llobregat, on the outskirts of Barcelona. While many viewers associate him with a clearly Andalusian accent, he has been described as having moved when he was three years old to Algarinejo, in the province of Granada, which is where much of his upbringing took place.

Personal Life

Mangel has generally kept family and personal romance details out of the spotlight. There is no record of a marriage, a spouse, or children at this time. His closest publicly visible relationships have often been professional friendships within the Spanish YouTube and streaming sphere, particularly his long association with El Rubius during the era when collaborations and shared appearances helped define Spain’s early creator boom.

Career

Mangel’s career began unusually early by modern standards. He opened his YouTube channel in March 2006 and, after experimenting with content, began uploading regularly the following year, at a time when YouTube itself was still young and “youtuber” wasn’t yet a standard label.

Those early uploads helped establish him as part of Spain’s first wave of gaming creators, with a style that reflected the trends of the era, from short-form gaming bits to edits and voiceover-driven jokes that were common in Spanish internet culture at the time.

A turning point for his broader popularity came through collaborations and public association with El Rubius. Spanish media retrospectives describe their “face reveal” era as a moment that pushed Mangel into a wider spotlight, leading to a period where the duo’s content and public appearances were closely linked and widely discussed.

As creator conventions and gaming events expanded, he also appeared internationally with other Spanish creators; for example, in 2017 he traveled to Argentina for a creator gathering around Club Media Fest, where he was interviewed by local media as a major Spanish internet figure.

In later years, Mangel remained a persistent presence across platforms while the ecosystem shifted toward live content. He became strongly associated with big community-driven Minecraft projects, including Karmaland, which renewed attention around him and helped drive new waves of streaming interest.

He also maintained an active Twitch channel, reinforcing the hybrid creator model where YouTube acts as the archive and Twitch becomes the live stage.

Net worth

Mangel’s estimated net worth is approximately $508,000. That estimate is generally attributed to long-term YouTube monetization, creator sponsorships, and the broader income structure typical for established gaming personalities who sustain large back catalogs and periodic spikes in traffic.
