The Forbes Highest paid Youtuber list just dropped.
It includes names that you’re familiar with.
Pewdiepie, Jake Paul, etcetera.
But the highest paid youtuber on the list will probably make you rethink your life choices.
What is happening people you’re watching IO, I’m charlotte dobre.
Smash that thumbs up if you hate hearing how much money youtubers make because you’re
a salty broke joke.
And by the way, if this is your first time here, subscribe for more daily news that’s
actually relevant to you.
The top 10 highest paid youtubers earned a combined total of 180.5 million dollars this
year, which is up an entire 42 percent from 2017.
At Number 10, its logan paul.
Even though last January he was removed from the Google Preffered program after the whole
suicide forest fiasco where he filmed a dead body in japans aokigahara suicide forest,
and also blatantly disrespected Japanese culture.
So how did he make 14.5 million dollars?
Merch my friends, merch.
At number 9, its Mr Pewdiepie.
I still cant believe that he’s the most subscribed youtuber and he only makes 15.5
million.
I know you’re hearing that and you’re like what do you mean ONLY 15.5 million.
15.5 million is way less than most of the highest paid youtubers.
Pewdiepie’s revenue largely comes from sponsors.
His chair might only be 399 but he makes 450 thousand dollars for a single branded video.
At number 8, jacksepticeye, who makes 16 million dollars a year cursing and playing video games.
Jacksepticeye also did a series for Disney and he’s currently developing content for
twitch.
Vanoss Gaming is at number 7, earning 17Million playing Call of duty and assasin’s creed.
In fact, 5 out of the 10 youtubers on this list are gamers.
Gaming videos are easy to make which means you can post more which in turn earns you
more money.
Markiplier also made the list at number 6, between the brand deals, clothing line and
ad revenue from gaming videos, markiplier makes 17.5 million
Jeffree Star, the beauty guru and makeup artist takes the number 5 spot.
Jeffree has been a staple since the days of myspace, but has since become a multi millionare
with several businesses including his own makeup line.
He rakes in so much cash, It makes me wonder why he bothers to make youtube videos in the
first place, but I honestly love jeffree star as an internet personality so I’m not complaining.
DanTDM is at number 4, earning 18.5 million.
He’s a gamer that specializes in minecraft, and also has his own line of merch.
At number 3, earning 20 million dollars, its dude perfect, the 4 dudes that specialize
in trick shots.
The number 2 spot goes to jake paul, close behind the number one spot, earning 21.5 million
dollars this year.
And the number one top earning youtuber on the list at 22 million dollars, its 7 year
old Ryan Toys Review.
Who, you guessed it, reviews toys.
Ryans life is pretty similar to your average 7 year old, he plays with toys, but ryan does
it in front of a camera for his 17 million subscribers who are in elementary school like
him.
Unlike other youtubers on this list, most ryans millions come from pre roll advertising.
He makes about a million from sponsored videos and ryan also has his own line of collectibles
called Ryans World that’s sold at walmart.
Because ryan is a minor 15% of everything he makes goes to a special account that he
cant access until he’s an adult.
The rest of the money probably goes to his managers, the toys and production costs.
Hearing this has probably made you rethink your life choices.
Its like, instead of being a millennial struggling to be taken seriously, why don’t I just
get pregnant, have a baby, grow the baby, force it to review toys on youtube and take
all its money.
GENIUS.
Just a joke guys.
I feel like I have to clearly state that somethings a joke on youtube otherwise people get offended.
So why do kids love watching ryan toysreview?
Well because they are vicariously living through ryan when he unboxes a toy that they cant
afford.
Not every kid can get their parents to buy them all the toys on the market.
So, kids watch ryan open and play with toys and its pretty much the next best thing.
One thing I am disappointed about is that there are no women on this years list.
Lilly signh was one of the highest paid youtubers last year, but this year, women didn’t make
the cut.
That isn’t to say that lady youtubers aren’t making money.
Jenna Marbles, Liza Koshy and lilly singh do rake in a pretty penny, but just not as
much as their male counterparts.
Who do you think should be the highest earning youtuber?
Let me know in those comments but for now I’m going to wrap up this video with some
comment replies Spike raveordie – Breakfast and IO. # goodmorning.
I like how instead of reading the paper as you eat your breakfast, in 2018 you can watch
IO and eat your breakfast.
Hopefully with some hash browns.
Cheesy James – I love your videos they temporarily cure my chronic depression.
That makes me happy but also sad.
Batmanfanforever – as long as the tea isn’t earl grey hot im ok with you spilling it.
please don’t spill the good stuff charlotte.
Abeastisme – oh yeah yeah more information from io flooding my brain
Babel – I wish I could be confident like charlotte, please tel me you were once camera
shy.
Umm I don’t think I ever was no.
I’ve always been into performing and performing is even scarier because its live.
With a camera you have full control over what other people see.
You don’t have to post anything that you’re not happy with.
That is all for this video, thanks for spending a few of your valuable minutes with us.
Got a few more minutes to spare?
Theres a playlist over here that you should check out.
And don’t forget to sub and turn on the bell so I can see you in the next IO video.
