Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 According to Forbes.com Quote In January 2018, the 23-year-old elder Paul brother was kicked off YouTube’s Google Preferred program, which gives favorable ad rates to popular channels, after he filmed a video in Japan that showed an apparent suicide hanging from a tree. He apologized. His income from videos (pratfalls, pranks) and brand deals took a hit, but loyal fans kept his hefty merchandise business afloat. Quote Scandal hasn’t stopped Felix Kjellberg, the Swedish gamer who is the most followed YouTuber (72.5 million followers). Despite a backlash last year after a rash of anti-Semitic videos, advertisers have returned, shelling out up to $450,000 for a sponsored video. Quote Foulmouthed, energetic Seán McLoughlin is the most popular YouTuber in Ireland thanks to his colorful video-game commentary. A few bad words haven’t kept him from going mainstream: He did a series for Disney and is developing exclusive content for live-streaming platform Twitch. Quote Witty Canadian gamer Evan Fong plays mainstream titles like Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed. On the side he’s launching a hip-hop career, but music (so far) isn’t proving nearly as lucrative as the subtle art of being a couch potato in demand. Quote Hawaii-native Markiplier is on his PS4 nearly all day everyday—but he’s not bumming around. The gamer toured North America, signed seven-figures worth of brand deals and, with No. 8 Jacksepticeye, recently launched Cloak, a high-end athleisure line for gamers. Quote The makeup artist, famous since the Myspace era, has reinvented himself as a beauty mogul, cofounding Jeffree Star Cosmetics, which sells an estimated $100 million–plus of eye shadow, lipstick and highlighters annually. Quote Last year’s top earner at $16.5 million—Daniel Middleton, a British gamer who specializes in Minecraft—has been playing on-camera for six years, amassing a following of 20.7 million, who shell out for his tour and merchandise, which includes backpacks, baseball caps and hoodies. Quote This five-man sports crew (Coby and Cory Cotton, Garrett Hilbert, Cody Jones and Tyler Toney) specializes in feats of dexterity and intricate trick shots— say, hurling Ping-Pong balls that trigger domino-falls of Oreos, which garnered 175 million views). Quote The boisterous younger brother of disgraced Logan (No. 10) earned a career-best income from his thriving merchandise business. He attracted more than 3.5 billion views of his rap songs and goofy pranks over our scoring period. And your Number #1 Earner this year... Quote Ryan’s just like every other 7-year-old: He loves Legos, trains, cars—and his 17 million followers. His latest mini-mogul move: a line of collectibles and more, now selling at Walmart.

I know of a few guys that have gone off to do it and end up doing it full-time - they're not millionaires mind you, but they make a steady living gaming 6-8 hours per day.

kokujin 558 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 these people work all day and work really hard at their thing. They are the top of their line. Money deserved. They work harder than anyone here. Except maybe GD. And me. Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Sauce 2,756 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Damn, had no idea they were pulling that kind of money. Figured it was a couple million for the mogul types like the Paul brothers that just have their hands in so many pies. Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,701 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Crazy stuff. Should be noted though that that income isn't just from Youtube. The majority would come from Merch and sponsorship deals and so on. Link to post Share on other sites
