Early Life and education

Samuel de Luque Batuecas is now, at the age of 36, and was born on 12 April 1989. He is originally from the Madrid area and relocated to Alcorcón as a child.

Before he became known for marathon gaming uploads, he trained in healthcare, completing studies connected to auxiliary nursing care in Madrid and graduating from that program.

At one point he also considered preparing for Spain’s National Police entrance process, but he ultimately prioritized the pace and commitment required by regular content production once his channel began taking off.

Personal Life

Vegetta777 has kept most of his private life separate from his online output, and there is no confirmed record of a marriage or of him having children. What is publicly discussed more often is where he has lived during different phases of his career, because those moves happened alongside major shifts in his work schedule and collaborations.

In the mid-2010s, he and fellow creator Willyrex lived together during a period when Spanish-language gaming content was expanding quickly, and they later established residence in Andorra, a move that placed him inside a well-known cluster of Spain-based streamers who relocated there.

Career

Vegetta777’s created his channel in March 2008, but it stayed inactive for years; in February 2012 he began uploading regularly, starting with a first video tied to Uncharted 3.

From there, he expanded into a wide rotation of series, with Minecraft becoming the central “home base” of his catalog, alongside other popular franchises and multiplayer titles.

A defining feature of his output has been long-form continuity: instead of one-off clips, he built repeat-viewing worlds where viewers could drop into an ongoing storyline. That structure helped his channel scale into the highest tier of Spanish YouTube, later surpassing 10 million subscribers and continuing to grow well past that point.

Collaboration has also been a constant. Over time he became closely linked with other major Spa creators, especially Willyrex, with whom he co-created multiple Minecraft projects and the joint brand “Wigetta,” which expanded beyond videos into publishing.

By 2015, the pair had launched the Wigetta book series, turning their gaming personas into a recurring children’s and youth adventure property.

Outside content creation, de Luque set up a business structure around his work. He founded Luque Social Gamer SL in August 2013, and his mother, Inés Batuecas, became the sole administrator in 2016, a detail repeatedly cited when describing the corporate side of his career.

He also moved into the esports business as an investor and partner. In 2019, he and Willyrex were publicly presented as major partners of MAD Lions, one of Spain’s best-known esports organizations.
