>> Joe: Hey guys welcome to SourceFed, I’m Joe Bereta
>> Elliott: I’m Elliott Morgan and we’re about to pull back the curtain. Ask any YouTuber
how much they make and you’re bound to be met with an evasive laugh and a “Well, that’s
a personal question.”
>> Joe: So that’s why we’re about to tell you exactly how much we… read that other
YouTubers make.
>> Elliott: Business Insider compiled a list of the top 20 YouTube Stars by how much green
they take home as listed by the analytics company Social Blade. You’ll notice that
the ranges on this are absolutely absurd, but that’s because the amount a YouTuber
can make from a video changes based on the CPMs their videos earn. What’s a CPM?
>> Joe: Glad you asked Elliott
>> Elliott: Why are you in black and white, Joe?
>> Joe: Call me Mr. YouTube Money Science
>> Elliott: There’s gotta be a catchier name for this character.
>> Joe: Watch your tone, Billy. You see CPMs is the term for cost per every thousand impressions
or “views” and it can range from the low rate of .60 cents per thousand impressions
all the way up to $5 per thousand impressions.
>> Elliott: Wow! Thanks Mr. YouTube Money Science
>> Joe: Sure thing, Billy. Call me Mr. Explanation. It’s also important to note that all of
these figures you’re about to hear come after YouTube takes their 45% cut, because
I mean, a guy’s gotta live, right? Even big companies need a return on investment.
>> Elliott: Shall we move on?
>> Joe: We shall! Number 20 is seven year old EvanTubeHD who reviews toys and video
games and brings in anywhere from 134,000 – 1.32 million dollars a month. That’s
a lot of toys and video games.
>> Elliott: 19. TheRadBrad brings in anywhere from 137,000 – 1.38 Million for his video
game walk throughs
>> Joe: Jumping ahead a bit you’ll find Captain Sparklez at number 16 making 174 thousand
to 1.76 million a year.
>> Elliott: The Spanish speaking HolaSoyGerman ranks number 12 with upwards of 210,000 dollars
a year reaching as high as 2.11 million.
>> Joe: Toby Turner is number 10 with his gaming, vlog, and main channels collectively
earning him an estimated 226,000 to 2.18 million dollars a year.
>> Elliott: Pranksters PrankvsPrank are at number 9 with their 7.7 million subscribers
earning the couple 223 thousand dollars to 2.26 million dollars a year.
>> Joe: Number 7 is the Fine Brothers who’s react series allegedly bring in 239,000 thousand
to 2.41 million dollars annually. That means per year.
>> Elliott: Smosh comes in at number four pulling anywhere from 448 thousand to 4.5
million a year, but there’s two of them so, like, math. You know?
>> Joe: Three and Two are both surprises to us as they’re DisneyCollectorBR and BluCollection
who each can make up to 6.38 million dollars a year just by opening and assembling toys.
Believe it or not.
>> Elliott: And number one of course is
>> Joe: PewDiePie
>> Elliott: PewDiePie who can make anywhere from 825 thousand to 8.47 million dollars
a year.
>> Joe: Those are the numbers so stop asking.
>> Elliott: Which of these people on the list was most surprising to you? Let us know in
the comments down below. Don’t forget to like this video, subscribe to the channel
and click this annotation for everything we’ve ever done. I’m Elliott Morgan.
>> Joe: I’m Joe Bereta. Too bad this list wasn’t handsomest YouTubers, because I think
we know who’d take number one and two.
>> Elliott: Oh yeah.
