YouTube is an American video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California. The service was created by three former PayPal employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—in February 2005. Google bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion; YouTube now operates as one of Google‘s subsidiaries. It has created lots of millionaires since it was established.

You don’t have to be a movie star these days to have an audience or to make millions of dollars.

With over 1.5 billion monthly users, YouTube is quite literally the place to be if you want to be a millionaire. The amount of money some YouTube stars are making is ridiculous. And as YouTube continues to grow year after year, so do the bank balances of some of their biggest stars keeps getting bigger.

It’s no secret that YouTube’s biggest stars are using sponsored videos and advertising to make a living on the platform in addition to making a name for themselves.

Over the past few years, some of them have even snagged big-time shows from services like Netflix or YouTube Red, the company’s subscription tier.

But just how rich are these YouTube stars? What is it that they do?

Let’s find out by looking at the net worth of some of YouTube’s biggest names. You’ll be surprised by how much they earn!

Dan Middleton AKA DanTDM – Approximately $16.5 Million
Daniel Middleton (known as DanTDM to his legion of followers) was the highest earning YouTube star of 2017. And with over 17 million subscribers, DanTDM has quite the audience to make his living from.

He made an incredible $16.5 million dollars in 2017. That’s 13% of the entire earnings of top 10 YouTube stars, who made an impressive $127 million among them.

DanTDM hasn’t starred in any big blockbusters, but he’s making money like a movie star.

He built up his channel by making videos on the video game Minecraft, but his business is pretty varied these days. He sells branded merchandise, has his own YouTube sponsored animated web series, and has even gone on his own jet-setting world tour.

Evan Fong Aka VanossGaming – $15.5 Million
Evan Fong is another gamer living his life on YouTube and making a killing from it.

And for the luxury of playing games and joking around, Evan made $15.5 million in 2017. He’s the second highest earner after DanTDM, taking home 12% of the share of the top earnings on YouTube.

With over 22 million subscribers, this 25-year-old Canadian sensation’s style is pretty simple. Chat, have a laugh with his friends and play video games while commenting on the gameplay. He’s also another YouTuber star making an animated series under YouTube’s lucrative Redprogramme.

These YouTube stars certainly know how to make money from their side hustles.

Dude Perfect – $14 million
Dude Perfect isn’t actually one person – it’s five. And unlike our first two YouTube stars, their content isn’t to do with video games.

They’re jokesters who like to perform trick shots on camera, and boy, does it rack up viewers! With over 26 million subscribers and over 4 billion video views, they’re the most viewed and subscribed to YouTube channel dedicated to sports.

And that lucrative base makes them money and brings in big star names. Actors, professional football stars, golfers, and NASCAR drivers have all appeared in videos for their subscribers.

They’ve even broken a few world records and have a successful TV series on Nickelodeon.

Logan Paul – $12.5 million
Even if you’re not too familiar with YouTube stars, you might have heard of Logan Paul.

He got himself into a bit of hot water recently by posting a controversial video of a trip to Japan where he found a suicide victim, resulting in huge international criticism. He’s also lost lucrative contracts, including being dropped from YouTube Red.

That hasn’t stopped him being one of YouTube’s top earners. He made $12.5 million in 2017, mostly by vlogging about his life and posting comedy videos.

He’s been in films, TV series, and been involved in big advertisement campaigns for the likes of Pepsi.

How 2018 shapes up for him might be a little different, but given that he’s the most popular YouTube vlogger and third on our net worth list, the future is probably still bright, if he can get over the controversy.

Mark Fischbach (Markiplier) — $12.5 million
Mark Fischbach, known as Markiplier, is a YouTuber focused on gaming. He has an energetic style, and his site has over 18 million followers. Fischbach has ambitions beyond YouTube, as well. He told Variety last year that he wanted to “push [himself] into music and acting.”

Felix Kjellberg Aka PewDiePie – $12 Million
Our next YouTube star is another name you might have heard of, for the wrong reasons, and was previously YouTube’s biggest earner.

Felix Kjellberg, or better known by his YouTube channel name PewDiePie, is another video gamer making videos. Sounds great, right?

Unfortunately, Felix’s use of racial slurs and anti-semitic slogans over 2017 caused criticism and outrage in the news, losing him lucrative sponsors like Disney and YouTube Red in the process.

Controversy aside, he isn’t doing too badly for himself, making himself $12 million in 2017, and an estimated $124 million since he started in 2010.

It just goes to show that being controversial isn’t enough to kill off your YouTube income if you’re a big enough name. And you are already rich.
