Summary
- A Roblox player spent over $8,000 changing their username.
- The player renamed their account 802 times, revealing unusual spending habits.
One Roblox player has spent nearly a million Robux just to change their username. Roblox allows users to change their in-game title as often as they like for a fixed price that’s paid in Robux. And one player appears to have become hooked on this feature, altering their username hundreds of times.
This isn’t the first time this player has gone viral for their unusual decisions. In August 2024, news broke about a Roblox player who spent 769,000 Robux changing usernames. It turns out this same player has continued their hobby of renaming their avatar over the past months, now making headlines again for a record-breaking amount of Robux spent on renames.

According to a now-removed Reddit post, one Roblox player, previously known as “Coo7kii,” spent 802,000 Robux to change their username. Roblox displays all previous usernames on an account’s profile, which is how this player’s many name changes were revealed. A quick look at their Roblox profile shows that, as of this writing, they have renamed their account at least 802 times. While the player hasn’t done anything wrong and is simply using the game’s feature, many players are shocked that someone would spend this much real money just to get a new username.
Roblox Player Spends $8,000 to Change Their Username
A quick calculation shows that changing a username in Roblox 802 times would cost the player just over $8,000, as each bundle of 1,000 Robux is currently priced at $9.99. This hefty price has led other players to question the Roblox player’s controversial spending choices, suggesting they could have bought many other things with the money. One player commented on the same Reddit thread, pointing out that they could have bought four RTX 5090s instead of spending all that money on Robux. Others compared the cost of buying 802,000 Robux to the prices of some cars, putting the expense into perspective.
Although details about the Roblox player who changed their username remain unknown, their purchases have reignited concerns about unsupervised spending by kids on Roblox. Over the years, Roblox has raised alarms among parents about potential threats to children, who make up the game’s primary demographic. One major concern is the ease with which kids can make unsupervised purchases within the app. As seen with one player spending over $8,000 on the game’s renaming feature, Roblox enables players to easily spend thousands on in-game products.
On a positive note, Roblox does offer parental controls, giving caregivers better oversight of their children’s activities. As pointed out by the American Association of Pediatrics, if a child wants to spend Robux, parents should teach them the real-world value of Robux in dollars. It’s also a good idea to have kids earn an allowance and let them spend their own money on Robux.
