Loads of people dream of starting a YouTube
channel in the hopes of becoming the next David Dobrik or Mr Beast, and it's pretty
easy to understand why! These famous YouTubers are rolling in money, but just how rich can
our favorite e-celebs get off their videos and ever expanding sub counts? The real numbers
are sure to shock you! That's why we're about to unload the biggest, richest and most famous
YouTube success stories the world has ever seen, and you won't believe how much these
YouTubers are actually making! Ready to take a look? Lets get it on! MrBeast
Arguably being the inventor of the now massively successful genre of videos where a youtuber
gives away or spends a ridiculous amount of money to some group of people at just 22 years
old, it isn't a great stretch of the imagination to state that MrBeast is one of the most influential
figures in the history of this platform. Of course, you can't be giving away millions
without first having and making millions, and that's what we're all here to hear. Just
how much cold hard cash is MrBeast pulling in? Well that number's hard to lock down because
MrBeast has one of the most successful merch empires in YouTube history, with a recent
video of his showing that he sold more than 67,000 limited edition shirts & hoodies within
a 24 hour sale. At the lowest price, that's over $2,000,000 made in a day, and the hoodies
cost double that amount! With all his insane spending, like giving away an $800,000 Island,
or giving away $1M CASH every time he throws a competition, we know he's pulling in some
undeniably monstrous dough. Still, let's look at numbers from nothing but his YouTube views,
because even that fraction of his income is enough to blow your mind. In an average year,
the main MrBeast channel makes $13,860,000, and honestly that's still a pretty conservative
estimate. That's more than $160 every single minute, talk about making money from your
dreams! PewDiePie
The undeniable king of gamers and YouTube, Felix Kjellburg is by leaps and bounds the
most subscribed to YouTuber on the planet. With the incredibly long lasting dynasty PewDiePie’s
built, it's no surprise that being the only person to ever gain more than 100M subscribers
is a very lucrative spot to be in. Aside from his personal brand, and his ever-changing
high-quality merch line ups, Felix drops a different video every single day, usually
pulling in between 6 and 10 million views. Numbers like that are what let him own homes
in both England and Japan, and keep updating his closet full of designer clothes. So what
kind of numbers does a channel getting billions of views a year generate? Well, conservative
estimates place PewDiePie's annual ad revenue above $12.2M per year! While he isn't quite
the type to flex, in a 2019 video where he analyzed websites guessing his net worth he
claimed that the numbers were. Still, in the face of his incredible success, Felix remains
a humble and relatable guy, and that's exactly what keeps us all coming back for more. David Dobrik
One of the most famous vloggers in the history of YouTube, Slovakian born David Dobrik has
done incredibly well for himself at the young age of 24. With multiple channels each boasting
tens of millions of subscribers, it isn't hard to understand how David keeps surprising
his friends with Teslas and Lamborghinis, on top of keeping a $120,000 Model X and a
$240k Ferrari for his own enjoyment. I mean, you've gotta have an appropriate couple of
luxury vehicles when you're living it up in a $9.5M mansion in the heart of Los Angeles.
But how does David Dobrik get it all done? Well, with an average of nearly 4 million
views on his channel per day, it's estimated that Dobrik's pulling in around $6.6 million
a year from ad sense alone. Of course, with status that high, sponsorships and merch sales
make up a much larger chunk of his true income, so his channel's revenue is probably just
going into a hefty retirement account for when his Tesla Model X can drive itself to
a mansion on Mars, which I'm sure David will happily be vlogging about along the way. Dude Perfect
Initially a team of 5 friends with a passion for combining sports and physics, Dude Perfect
has gone on to become one of the biggest names in modern entertainment. Sitting on a truly
unimaginable 53 million plus subscribers, along with multiple network TV shows and several
other side projects, after becoming the symbol of trickshots and sports world records the
internet is so infatuated with, Dude Perfect's audience currently outnumbers that of the
NBA, MLB and NFL combined. So with an audience the size of several nations, it's not hard
to imagine that their income flows from a huge number of sources, making it hard to
track as a whole. But just taking a look at some of the ways the Dude Perfect team has
expanded their business, it's clear to see that 53 million subs rakes in some serious
cash flow. With their average 8M daily views the Dude Perfect channel nets at least $14.22M
a year, which means each of the 5 founding members is netting the average American salary
just about every week. Who knows what they'll be putting that money towards next, but if
their past is any indicator, we can be confident they'll keep shooting for the moon and beyond. DanTDM
Minecraft is one of the biggest games on the planet, being the most watched game on YouTube
in 2019 and being sold to Microsoft for $2.5B. Now the question is, who’s getting all those
sweet, sweet views that put Minecraft at the top of the YouTube Most Watched list? Well,
chief among the thousands of Minecraft lets players is DanTDM, the UK based YouTuber who
set the Guiness World Record for most views on a dedicated Minecraft channel, with 7.9B
at the time of the record, which has since been absolutely smashed, currently standing
at over 17B at the time of this recording. Of course, that number climbs every single
day, and will likely only increase as Minecraft isn’t showing any signs of slowing. But
by just how many views is Dan breaking his own World Record on the daily? Well on average
Dan’s channel gains 6.5M views every single day, which makes Dan not just the biggest
Minecraft YouTuber, but also arguably the richest, making at least $17k a day, or a
whopping $6.1M a year, and that’s just from the views on his channel. Add to that his
merch lines, brand deals, and live shows, and DanTDM has mined some serious diamonds.. Jelly
A YouTuber made famous from his beloved video game let’s plays of popular titles like
GTA and the smash hit Fortnite, Jelly’s excitable, relatable personality and love
for gaming rocketed him to be a YouTube phenomenon with almost 20M subscribers and climbing.
Through his popularity since starting his channel in 2014, Jelly’s scored a lucrative
sponsorship deal with G-Fuel, the gaming energy drink famously associated with PewDiePie himself,
and to be signing the biggest youtuber on the platform, you know this company isn’t
offering small potatoes to the gamers it signs. Of course, sponsorship numbers are kept private,
so while we can’t know exactly what Jelly is raking in from his entire career, a recent
estimate placed his net worth around $25M dollars. But with our secret knowledge of
the algorithm, let’s see just how accurate those numbers really are. With the constant
flow of gaming videos on Jelly’s channel, he reliably gets about 10M views a day, which
adds up to on the low end, about $18M annually from ads alone. Markiplier
It’s easy to forget how huge Markiplier’s influence really is with his relatable and
comfy feeling small scale gaming and subreddit reviewing content. Nonetheless, Mark Fischbach
is one of the most influential youtubers, not just in the gaming sphere he came up through,
but on the entire platform, and with a nickname like red PewDiePie, you know he’s gonna
be making some PewDiePie-esque gains. Aside from the likely hundreds of thousands of dollars
channels as big as Mark’s are assumed to earn per sponsored video, Markiplier launched
a high end clothing company called Cloak alongside fellow gaming YouTuber Jacksepticeye, a brand
targeted at, you guessed it, gamers! With over 51M subscribers between them, 27M of
which are on Markiplier’s channel, Cloak has definitely got a huge amount of gamers
copping their products. But we’re here to see what kind of money a 27M subscriber YouTube
channel makes, so with an average of 6.4M daily views, a conservative estimate is an
annual income of nearly $12M! Not bad for only being Red PewDiePie that is. James Charles
At the young age of 21, James Charles has accomplished more than most people could in
multiple lifetimes. Besides shaking the beauty industry and preconceptions about what a beauty
influencer can look like to their core, James has created one of the most massive, influential
make-up empires the world over. In late 2020, James’ new Sister merch line was shared
on social media by the likes of Kim Kardashian herself, just to give you an idea of how big
a deal this guy really is. Add his nearly 22M subscribers on top of all that, and it’s
not hard to understand that James is pulling in some big-sister bucks. So a purchase like
the $7M 10,000 square foot mansion he moved into in 2020 really doesn’t seem like too
big a splurge for someone of James’ caliber. So while estimates rank his current net worth
at somewhere around $12M, I’d venture to say that’s extremely low. With 4M average
daily views, his YouTube channel alone is generating at least $7M annually, and that’s
not including all his major sponsorships, brand partnerships and successful make-up
and merch lines. Having done so much in such a short time, the sisters are all eager to
see where James’ ever-growing success will take him next. Unspeakable
Unspeakable is a Texan born YouTuber who at the young age of 22 has already accomplished
more than most people could ever dream of. With a respectable 8.5M subscribers on his
main channel, Unspeakable, also known as Nathan gets to make a living uploading playthroughs
of his favorite games with his friends who together with him make up the collectives
“Proper Productions” and “The Squad”. And with his rapid rise to fame, of course
also came the rapid rise to wealth that one expects from young YouTube royalty. With 5
different channels each associated with a different aspect of the Unspeakable YouTube
empire, such as merch, toys, and of course, Let’s Plays, Nathan’s generating a healthy
amount of revenue for himself and The Squad. But just how much does a channel like his
main one alone pull in? Well, just looking on the lower end, it’s safe to say that
the main Unspeakable channel makes well over $13M every single year, or more than $1M a
month. Add onto that his merch lines, sponsorships and all his other ventures, and you could
almost say Nathan’s true net worth is pretty unspeakable... SSSniperWolf
One of the most versatile YouTubers on the platform, SSSniperwolf’s channel has managed
to survive through years of massive shifts in content. From gaming videos to reactions
and vlogs, Sniperwolf has become the queen of almost every niche found on all of YouTube.
With such a long lasting career and her ever present videos on so many topics attracting
such a wide, varied audience, Lia is as of late 2020 the most subscribed female YouTuber
in the world, with 22M subscribers at the time of recording. With a title like that,
along with her Kid’s Choice Award for favorite gaming YouTuber, Lia’s sure to be pulling
in the big bucks, and we’re here to confirm that aside from her obvious sponsorship deals
and merch lines that likely make up a large part of her income, the Sniperwolf channel
definitely makes a mind blowing amount of money. With her average 15M daily views, Lia’s
channel makes at least $27M annually. That’s enough to buy a James Charles’ mansion every
3 months, or enough to buy 2 Tesla Model 3’s every single week. I guess looking surprised
in every thumbnail really pays off!
