10 Rich YouTubers Who Are Richer Than We'll Ever Be (MrBeast, PewDiePie, ZHC, David Dobrik) - YouTube

Channel: Trend Central

YouTube has completely cemented its spot as the new king of entertainment, with most kids
[4]
who grew up in the last 10 years idolizing YouTubers way more than pop and movie stars.
[10]
And along with that level of admiration often come some serious earnings on par with and
[15]
even exceeding the biggest celebrities in the world.
[17]
While we’re getting awesome free entertainment, the people on the other side of the screen
[22]
can be making amounts that would make most peoples’ heads spin.
[25]
I’m talking more in a day than most people make in an entire year!
[28]
It’s seriously mind-blowing, and that’s why today we’re letting you take a peek
[32]
behind the youtube curtain to get an idea of just how much some of the most popular
[37]
entertainers of this generation are actually making.
[40]
Ready to have your mind blown?
[41]
Let’s get it on!
[44]
LOGAN PAUL One of the most well-known names in all of
[47]
YouTube, for better or for worse, no one can deny that Logan Paul is absolutely killing
[52]
the game at just 25 years old.
[54]
Originally starting out on Vine, Logan has had a sticking power that few other veterans
[58]
of the now-defunct platform can come close to claiming.
[61]
While many people had some negative views of Logan for a few years, in recent times
[65]
he has turned his public perception around in a way that’s never been seen before in
[68]
the history of YouTube, and gained not just a ton of new subscribers, but the respect
[73]
of a whole lot of people.
[74]
Sometime in 2019, Logan switched up almost everything in his content, focusing on making
[79]
more engaging and entertaining works for all ages, and he couldn’t have done a better
[83]
job.
[84]
These days the American vlogger, podcaster and highest-earning loser in the history of
[89]
celebrity boxing easily pulls in about 5.4M views a day, which adds more than $16,200
[95]
to his already hefty net worth, bolstered by his legendary earnings from his boxing
[100]
matches with KSI.
[102]
Of course, Logan’s Maverick merch and other businesses rake in huge sums of cash everyday,
[106]
but that doesn’t dissuade him from continuing to make content for his channel.
[110]
And with earnings of more than $5.8 million a year, who would ever wanna stop?
[116]
PEWDIEPIE Standing as the undisputed king of YouTube
[120]
with the largest non-corporate channel on the entire platform by a massive margin, is
[125]
the Swedish Slaughterer of Water-Sheep, Felix Kjellberg, or as most people know him PewDiePie.
[133]
Beginning to upload gameplay videos in 2010 when the trend was still pretty much unheard
[137]
of on youtube, PewDiePie has uploaded a video a day for over 10 years straight, only recently
[143]
starting to take weekend breaks.
[145]
Along the way, he managed to become the first YouTuber to ever earn the 50 million and eventually
[150]
the 100 million subscriber play buttons, an honor we probably won’t see another person
[155]
receive for close to another decade.
[157]
With the kind of passionate and dedicated audience his approachable and humble personality
[162]
has amassed, it’s obvious that he’s the poster-child for YouTube millionaires for
[167]
a reason.
[168]
On average Felix amasses more than 10.6 million views on any given day, which brings in about
[173]
$30,600 daily, and that’s just from views on his videos.
[178]
He’s also got merch, a fashion line called Tsuki, mobile games, and what have to be the
[183]
most expensive sponsored videos on the platform.
[186]
Still, even if we don’t take all those clearly huge sources of income into account, PewDiePie’s
[191]
channel pulls in at least 11 million dollars every year.
[194]
Not bad for a college dropout who had to sell hotdogs to support himself not too long ago.
[200]
DAVID DOBRIK One of the original kings of vlogging, David
[203]
Dobrik seems to have the ultimate dream life that just keeps getting better and better
[208]
somehow.
[209]
Aside from befriending the star of his favorite TV show, David has made quite a name for himself
[213]
through his extremely charitable attitude towards his friends, to whom he’s given
[216]
away more than 20 cars, and we’re not talking Corollas and Civics here.
[220]
However if you think he’s giving away teslas and lambos for free, I’m sorry to burst
[224]
your bubble, but his “surprising my friend with” series is one of the biggest hits
[228]
on his massive 17 plus million subscriber channel, which means they’re also his biggest
[233]
earners.
[234]
Even if he isn’t uploading one of his massive philanthropic feats however, David easily
[238]
pulls in more than 6.3 million views a day on his vlogs, and numbers like that mean that
[243]
even a bad day for the Slovakian-born YouTuber means making at least $18,900.
[249]
As one of the most well known YouTubers in the world, David’s also got money coming
[254]
in from merch, promotions and live events, but just from the revenue on his main channel
[259]
he earns more than $6.8 million dollars a year, and that is a whole lot of Teslas to
[264]
give away.
[265]
MRBEAST Hailing from a small city in North Carolina,
[269]
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast fully embodies the YouTube fantasy.
[274]
Growing up idolizing youtubers and trying for years with no success to make it big himself,
[279]
eventually Jimmy invented what would become the most popular trend in YouTube history
[284]
at only 18-years-old: YouTube philanthropy.
[287]
By posting videos of himself either spending or giving away crazy sums of money, Jimmy’s
[292]
videos absolutely dominated YouTube’s trending page over and over, launching his channel
[298]
to over 34 million subscribers and, uh
 let’s say “inspiring” an entire generation
[304]
of copycat channels.
[306]
As his channel grew, so did the acts of charity he could pull off, like making a free car
[312]
dealership, or tipping a pizza guy with an entire furnished house!
[316]
Now to go from giving a homeless man $10,000 cash to upgrading an entire homeless shelter,
[321]
there must be some serious leaps in earnings, and trust me, there were.
[325]
MrBeast’s channel regularly pulls in over 8,000,000 views daily, earning him more than
[330]
$24,000 on a daily basis.
[333]
On top of that, based on his own words, the average sponsorship for just one of his videos
[337]
is between 100 and 250 THOUSAND dollars.
[342]
Even if we don’t account for his merch line, which is probably one of the most popular
[345]
on YouTube, MrBeast’s channel earns over $8.64M a year from views alone.
[351]
At least we know he’ll be doing a lot of good with all that money.
[355]
ZHC Sitting right on the edge of an incredible
[358]
12 million subscribers and growing, ZHC is an artsy youtuber who seems to have come out
[363]
of nowhere to those who stumble upon his videos only to find the absurd amounts of money he
[368]
puts into them.
[370]
Regularly pulling off insanely charitable stunts like customizing Lamborghinis or Teslas
[374]
and giving them to other huge YouTubers has allowed those creators’ audiences to flow
[379]
in ZHC’s subscriber base, giving him one of the best formulas for success on the platform
[384]
to date.
[385]
But he isn’t just generous to his colleagues; in fact, in most of his videos ZHC will give
[389]
away super costly prizes to random subscribers, like 50 new iphones in just one video, or
[395]
50 ipads in another.
[397]
With incentives like those, it’s no wonder his subs and views always skyrocketing.
[401]
Of course, to be able to afford such lavish stunts, you’ve gotta be pulling in some
[405]
serious cheddar, and ZHC isn’t exactly paying for those custom teslas with his credit card.
[410]
On an average day, ZHC’s channel amasses over 3 and a half million views, which brings
[416]
in at least $10,500 bucks every day.
[419]
Of course, on top of those numbers, he’s got massive sponsorship deals and a huge merch
[423]
line that he and his creative friends design themselves.
[426]
Even if we ignore those massive money generators though, ZHC earns an incredible 3.78 million
[433]
dollars a year just from views on his YouTube channel.
[435]
Now that’s a whole lot of iPhone 11 giveaways.
[439]
KSI One of the biggest legends to emerge from
[442]
the YouTube landscape, KSI has more than earned his reputation for lavish spending.
[446]
Having earned a rumored 10 million from his two boxing matches with Logan Paul, at 26
[451]
the British vlogger wasn’t quite ready to retire, and continued uploading not just to
[456]
his main channel, but also to his more frequently updated second channel during the buildup
[460]
to both fights, and he’s only picked up in uploads since then.
[464]
Known for regularly getting into crazy scenarios that often involve hyper expensive jewelry,
[469]
famous rappers and Dragon Ball Z references, it’s no surprise that he holds an audience
[473]
of over 30 million subscribers between his two channels.
[476]
As of 2020, JJ seems to be focusing more on his second channel, and it isn’t surprising
[481]
why.
[482]
The channel regularly receives more than 3.1 million views a day, which nets him over $9300
[488]
daily, and that’s not even counting all his music, merch lines, live shows and of
[493]
course, the multi-million dollar YouTube grudge matches.
[497]
Uploading videos that center around his popular personality and that are more intimate than
[501]
his main channel videos, it’s crazy to think that he brings in more than $3.34M a year
[507]
just from what’s essentially a side hustle.
[509]
Still, he might make that in a single night the next time he picks up his boxing gloves.
[514]
LAZARBEAM With Fortnite being one of the biggest games
[517]
in the world right now, it’s no surprise to learn that the free-to-play game has seriously
[522]
set up some major YouTube millionaires.
[524]
Take Lazarbeam for example.
[526]
Originally rising to prominence from his Fortnite gameplay videos, the Australian gamer has
[530]
since branched out to other types of videos, but always comes back to his bread and butter
[535]
to the tune of millions of views.
[537]
Along the way Lazar managed to stack up over 13 million subscribers, which is certainly
[542]
nothing to scoff at.
[543]
And while the biggest gaming tournament winnings of all time were 3 million dollars from a
[547]
fortnite tournament, those stats might have to be seriously adjusted if you take into
[551]
account the earnings of YouTubers like Lazarbeam.
[553]
On average he pulls in over 9 million views every single day, which in ad revenue alone,
[559]
earns him over 27 grand daily, or about a brand new Tesla every 2 days.
[564]
As if that kind of money weren’t enough, Lazar like many other youtubers, has a very
[568]
successful merch line and gets paid tens of thousands of dollars for sponsorships on a
[572]
single video.
[574]
Even if we aren’t taking all that into account however, Lazarbeam’s annual earnings are
[578]
still more than enough to make your head spin, at over 9.7 million dollars a year, and those
[583]
are US dollars, which are worth more in Australia.
[586]
Hmm, maybe I should give gaming videos a go?
[590]
JELLY Who would’ve thought that pranking your
[592]
friend in a bunch of different video games could be one of the most profitable jobs in
[595]
the world?
[596]
Well, with a very impressive 17 plus million subscriber channel, apparently Jelly did.
[602]
This youtuber has been absolutely crushing it in the gaming sphere for years, and shows
[606]
no signs of slowing down.
[608]
Regularly finding new and honestly exhaustive ways of pranking his friend Slogoman in pretty
[613]
much every game around, Jelly has found a formula that just can’t stop bringing in
[621]
mountains of views.
[623]
On any given day, Jelly’s channel receives an unbelievable 15 and a half million views,
[629]
which nets him a cool $46,500 on what’s just a regular Tuesday for most of us.
[634]
That’s about what the average American makes in a year!
[637]
And, yeah that’s impressive, but when you think about what that means annually, Jelly
[641]
pulls in a handsome 16.74 million just by sitting back and goofing around playing video
[647]
games.
[648]
Maybe now you can prove to your parents that gaming isn’t a waste of time after all!
[652]
PRESTON Originally starting out in the gaming sphere,
[655]
Preston’s channel really started picking up steam when he switched over to making challenge
[659]
videos, and well, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
[662]
Preston has managed to grow his channel’s audience to an impressive 13 million subscribers,
[666]
or about the population of New York City and Los Angeles combined.
[670]
He regularly puts his friends and family up to odd challenges to win thousands of dollars,
[675]
but the competitors aren’t the only ones raking in the cash from these videos.
[678]
While some of his greatest hits have nearly 20 million views, on an average day Preston
[683]
pulls in nearly 5 million views on his channel, which gains him about $14,700 every single
[690]
day, which is a whole lot more than he gives away in a single challenge video!
[694]
Like most YouTubers of his size, Preston pushes his merch line pretty consistently, and while
[699]
that’s sure to bring in a ton of dough, from views on his channel alone the 26 year
[703]
old earns an extraordinary 5.29 million dollars a year, or enough to take more than 20 tickets
[709]
to outer space on the first space tourism launches!
[711]
I guess you could say his earnings are out of this world.
[715]
UNSPEAKABLE With a name like Unspeakable, it's pretty
[718]
ironic that this guy’s generated so much buzz online.
[721]
After grinding to try to make it as a youtuber for over 10 years, Unspeakable finally broke
[727]
out by creating crazy, elaborate videos where he does things like convert his entire house
[731]
into a beach or build a whole indoor waterpark!
[734]
That’s sure to get the neighbors speaking about you.
[737]
To date he’s amassed more than 6.7 million subscribers, and his audience seems really
[741]
dedicated, because the views on his videos are usually pretty close to his entire sub
[746]
count, something that’s actually pretty uncommon for bigger YouTubers.
[749]
Through his insane household antics Unspeakable manages to drive over 7.8 million sets of
[755]
eyes to his videos every single day, which in ad revenue alone generates more than $23,400
[762]
every day, or about an iPhone every hour to put in perspective.
[765]
Of course, Unspeakable also makes money from selling merch, sponsorships on videos, a huge
[770]
gaming channel, and tons of other secretive avenues that’re, well, unspeakable.
[775]
But while we can only guess at his total annual income, just his main YouTube channel’s
[780]
views earn him an insane 8.42 million dollars a year, which is more than most CEOs make!
[787]
Now that’s an UNSPEAKABLE amount of money
 okay no more bad puns, I promise.
