Now that you have an overview of the top 10 richest YouTubers let’s jump into the detail of what type of videos these millionaires make, one by one.
The richest YouTuber that makes the most out of YouTube is no other than MrBeast. Jimmy Donaldson, the MrBeast, is a YouTube star that has made record-breaking world earnings in the recent year from his YouTube channel with over 100 Million subscribers.
The extravagant stunts and philanthropist endeavors of MrBeast attract so many people like bees to honey.
But that’s not all; the MrBeast Burger app has also contributed to skyrocketing the earnings of Mr. Beast. With this mobile application, MrBeast handles marketing among his 100M+ subscribers while keeping a share of the sales.
Here’s one of his recent popular videos where MrBeast hunted for 100 people.
The next richest YouTuber, second only to MrBeast, is the famous boxer Jake Paul.
The personality of Jake paul is so bright that it continuously keeps him in the headlines.
Jake was a substantial part of the top 10 highest-paid YouTubers until 2017, but it was all busted by his brother Logan when he posted a video widely known as “Suicide Forest.” The backlash was so harsh that many sponsors cut off from Jake, and even YouTube stopped monetizing the channel.
But that’s all in the past because Jake is here again and on the second spot, of course.
Now comes Mark Fischbach, aka Markiplier, a YouTube star that started his journey in 2012 as an avid gamer.
But later on, his Unus Annus series increased his popularity dramatically in 2019. This series was created with Co-Youtuber Ethan Nestor Darling. But the sad news is that Markiplier deliberately removed this series from his channel a year ago.
But the other thing that has greatly helped Markiplier in raking all this income is his ability to move Merchandise like T-shirts, hoodies, and other items. So it is of no surprise that he remains one of the richest YouTubers in the world.
Starting with a friendly and nerdy talk show with the channel “Good Mythical Morning,” Rhett and Link quickly evolved their branding, and their popularity achieved a level of 17 Million subscribers.
Their recent collaborative cooking show, Mythical Kitchen, earned them 30 Million US$ last year.
The different guests they invite sometimes come off as a surprise for their loyal subscribers.
Lastly, the Mythical Accelerator Fund is another initiative currently increasing its popularity.
A new YouTube star that popped up in the list of top 10 highest-paid YouTubers last year is Unspeakable.
Going by the name Natham Graham, unspeakable continuously makes videos of his little “Minecraft” games and has been posting them on his channel for the last 10 years.
But last year, he made a smart move and sold the whole catalog of his YouTube videos to “Spotter” in one go.
So what did he get in return? A huge lump sum, of course.
If we are talking about the highest-paid YouTubers, how can we skip this cute little princess?
This seven-year Russian-born Youtube star, Anastasia Radzinskaya, puts her daily life into the video and entertains kids and adults worldwide with her well-produced videos. Meanwhile, multiple brand extensions and a merchandise line added to their videos also considerably increased their earnings.
But wait a minute!!!
The Spotter is here to spoil the fun again. Recently, just like Unspeakable, Natsya has also sold all the monetization rights of her previous videos by making a lucrative deal with Spotter.
Now let’s check one of Nastya’s recent popular videos.
Look who’s back: Ryan Kaji returns to this list. This little fellow was above all other YouTubers in 2020, with an income of 29.5 Million US$ that year. But don’t think that his earnings decreased just like his ranking.
Ryan Kaji started his journey at the mere age of 4, and it’s been 6 years since his debut. With his child-amusing playtime, he has made over 33 Million subscribers on his channel Ryan’s World.
Utilizing his 33 Million subscribers on his main channel, Ryan Kaji is still earning a fortune with branded merchandise and toys sold at Target and Walmart.
