His father was Swedish-American. He attended Hollis/Brookline High School in New Hampshire, graduating in 2013.

During this time, he began a Call of Duty commentary YouTube channel "TheZanySidekick", his first foray into content creation. Ahgren currently lives in Los Angeles, California, with Twitch streamer QTCinderella and three other roommates.
In 2018, Ahgren organized a $1000 winner-take-all invitational Melee netplay tournament titled the Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series, which was won by Counter Logic Gaming's SFAT. On April 13, 2020, Ahgren announced a successor to the first Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series titled, Worldwide Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series. It was renamed Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 2 when Ahgren re-announced it on June 30, 2020. The tournament was held on July 25–26 and was won by Golden Guardians player Zain. In November 2020, after The Big House 10 tournament received a cease and desist from Nintendo over the tournament's usage of an emulator which enabled netplay and matchmaking for Melee, Ahgren announced the Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 3, an impromptu charity tournament. LACS 3 took place on December 20–21, seeing Mang0 win 3-1 against iBDW in the grand finals, and raised over $261,668 for Gamers for Love.
Ahgren began streaming live part-time on May 16, 2018. On February 16, 2019, he began a full-time streaming career. During 2018 and 2019, Ahgren's stream retained a relatively small audience, mostly streaming content based on Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Party 2, and Dark Souls gameplay. On November 10, 2019, Ahgren set the world record for the button mashing mini-game Domination from Mario Party 4, going faster than a tool-assisted speedrun bot designed to be the fastest possible, setting a score of 201, higher than the limit of 160 which was possible due to a mod which increased the limit of points scored. Polygon reporter Owen S. Good compared Ahgren's expression after completing the feat to NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal's expression after his iconic alley-oop dunk in the 2000 Western Conference Finals, saying, "If aliens landed and I had to explain what video games are and why they are fun, I'd show them this. Take a bow, Ludwig". In January 2020, Ahgren, among other Melee competitors and personalities, such as Mew2King and Plup, competed in an invitational tournament for Pokémon Sword and Shield by 2016 Pokémon World Champion, Wolfe Glick, where Ahgren finished first.

In June 2020, Ahgren was invited to compete against other popular Twitch streamers in the amateur chess tournament PogChamps of Chess.com, placing second in the consolation bracket. Ahgren subsequently made an appearance on the cover of the August 2020 edition of Chess Life. On December 7, 2020, Ahgren released a Christmas-themed EP titled A Very Mogul Christmas. In that same month, both Ahgren's YouTube channel and his Twitch channel reached over one million followers; Cale Michael of Dot Esports credited his rapid growth to his "Twitch stream expanding, continued collaboration with other big creators, and his willingness to try new forms of content out both live and for his YouTube channel." In January 2021, Ahgren began hosting a game show on Twitch, titled Hivemind, with fellow streamer Cr1TiKaL. The show invited guests from all around Twitch to participate. In October 2021, Ahgren was among a multitude of streamers whose Twitch earnings were revealed in the midst of a data breach; the leak revealed that, between August 2019 and October 2021, Ahgren had earned $3.3 million through Twitch directly, a statement that Ahgren himself confirmed.

During his early time on the platform, Ahgren was struct with two DMCA-related bans, temporarily suspending his streams. On July 2, 2022, Ludwig hosted his long-anticipated Mogul Money Live gameshow for a sold-out crowd of over 5,000 in attendance at the YouTube Theater.
