Top 10 🗣youtubers 💥💥 2022😍😍

. MrBeast

This long-running YouTube star made an early name for himself (in part) by estimating the net worth of his fellow content creators. How’s that for irony? His record-breaking earnings represent a massive increase over the previous year’s list topper, Ryan’s World (who reportedly made USD$29.5 million in 2020). In addition to running several YouTube channels and selling merch, MrBeast is also behind a number of successful business ventures. One is a popular app, whereby users can order branded burgers and sandwiches through participating restaurants. He’s also quite the philanthropist, raising tons of money for all sorts of charitable causes. The list of accomplishments goes on and on. So how much does MrBeast make? A lot!

2021 estimated earnings: USD$54 million

Few YouTube personalities have branched out beyond the platform’s perimeters quite like Jake Paul, who continues to dominate headlines. Whilst still a content creator, his recent pivot toward professional boxing has sent his overall net worth soaring ever higher. In fact, Forbes reports that it’s boxing—and not YouTube—that accounts for the bulk of his current fortune. Anyone who thought this dude and his brother were a flash in the pan thought wrong, to say the least.

youtuber ryans world

1. Ryan’s World
   

Last year’s biggest earner, this child entertainer (real name Ryan Kaji) continues to make serious bank after six years on YouTube. Now 10 years old, he’s pursuing various opportunities as he outgrows his initial core audience, such as licensing out the animated co-stars that appear in his videos. He’s also a major brand name at places like Target and Walmart, where you can find his merch on the shelves. With a huge net worth, Ryan’s World never has to worry about going broke, but that won’t stop his guardians and their business partners from exploring every option.

highest paid youtubers for 2022 dude perfect

1. Dude Perfect
   

This Texas-based comedy troupe rips pages out of the “Jackass” playbook by performing the kind of tricks and stunts that you simply shouldn’t try at home. Then again, they recently published a how-to book—complete with step-by-step instructions—so maybe you should try these tricks at home (their suggestion, not ours). They also embark on the occasional live tour across America, which presumably adds a zero or two to the bottom line. Pair that with merch and other revenue streams and you’re looking at some of the richest YouTubers in existence.

2021 estimated earnings: USD$20 million
