Logan Paul who? The highest-paid YouTube star of 2020 is none of the content creators whom most adult viewers are familiar with or one of those who have been making sensational headlines recently. In fact, Forbes has named a 9-year-old boy as the top earning YouTube star of this year.
Revealed as part of the magazine s annual the Highest-Paid YouTube Stars list,
Ryan Kaji ranks first with estimated earnings of $29.5 million in the past twelve months. The Texas-born boy has 41.7 million subscribers and has amassed 12.2 billion views on his channel Ryan s World (previously Ryan ToysReview).
Nine-year-old Ryan Kaji topped the list, bringing in an estimated $29.5 million.
Beauty blogger, Jeffree Star dropped from 5th highest-earner to 10th, earning an estimated $15 million.
Since its first video was uploaded 15 years ago, YouTube has become a lucrative platform for business-savvy content creators. According to Forbes, the top 10 highest-paid YouTubers secured an estimated $211 million in earnings from June 1, 2019 to June 1, 2020, which is a 30% jump from the previous year.
It s perhaps no surprise that business on YouTube is booming, as Covid-19 restrictions have forced us to spend more time at home and even more time online. Although we definitely agree with Youtube s top earner Ryan Kaji when he told Forbes, “I just can’t wait until we can go back outside.”
