In this informal video, the speaker estimates the YouTube ad revenue of FaZe Clan’s main channel. He notes that the channel receives about 7 million views per month and, using his own $1.50 CPM experience, calculates roughly $10,500 in monthly ad earnings, which translates to about $125,000 per year or $350 per day. He also mentions the broader channel statistics—around 220 million total views and over 2 million subscribers—and points out that FaZe’s revenue largely comes from republishing individual members’ montage videos on the main channel, a process that involves a sizable roster of roughly 50 people (players, editors, GFX artists, etc.). While he lists a few sponsors (Astros, SCUF controllers, Controller Freak), he does not attempt to quantify sponsor income. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to request similar earnings breakdowns for other creators.

How's it going guys? Today I'm gonna be talking about how much the FaZe Clan makes off of YouTube. Now this is just, you know, their main channel, and one thing I do not know is how much they get from their sponsors. They are sponsored by Astros and SCUF controllers and Controller Freak, and I don't know what else they're sponsored by, but I'm gonna be talking about the amount of money they make off of YouTube advertisement. I don't know how much they get for embedding product placement at the beginning of their videos, you know, they always show the SCUF logo and Astros and all that stuff. And their montages. So, uh, we're just gonna jump right into it. Um, let me pull up my notes real quick. Sorry, I minimized them. They get 7 million views per month. So 7 million different people view their videos every month. PewDiePie gets more views than that in a day, but still, that's a pretty high number. So if you do the math using a $1.50 CPM, because that's how much I got paid per 1,000 views last month, it comes out to $10,500 per month. So $10,500 a month is not that bad. And if you further do math, that's $125,000 a year. So whoever's the head of FaZe Clan pretty much just takes videos from other FaZe members, uploads it to the channel, and by doing that he's getting $125,000 a month for doing nothing. I believe FaZe Apex is— actually, I don't know who the leader of FaZe is, so I'm not gonna say any names, but whoever's the leader is taking montages from littler channels, the other FaZe members, uploading it to FaZe and getting $125,000 a month just for doing that, whoever is in charge of the FaZe PayPal, which is pretty crazy. And when I was looking at FaZe Clan trying to get all the numbers for this video, I looked at their roster and there's actually a ton of people in FaZe. I'd say there's a good 50 people, not just players, but there's also editors and GFX artists and the leaders and all that other stuff. It was crazy the amount of people that were in there. I didn't know it was that big. Especially because FaZe 5 just ended and they picked up 5 new people. But, uh, like I said, they're making $10,500 a month— or not they, whoever owns FaZe Clan, whoever has the YouTube channel— is making $10,500 a month, $125,000 a year, just for taking other people's videos and uploading it to the FaZe Clan. Because whoever owns FaZe Clan has the password to the YouTube channel. They're— that person's not making all the montages, he's just taking the montages from the literal channels uploading them, and by doing that he's getting $125,000 a year for free, which is pretty crazy if you think about it. But nonetheless, he is helping them. He's, you know, whenever someone else uploads to the channel, the FaZe Clan, obviously it's giving that smaller person a huge shout-out. But they have around 220 million views total between the whole FaZe Clan, and they have over 2 million subscribers. So it's a pretty successful channel, and they're making, as I've said multiple times and you're probably getting tired, $125 grand a year. And I don't think I mentioned this, but if you divide that, it's $350 a day. So $350 a day, that's a decent amount of money. But anyways, that's pretty much that. Really short video. Someone left a comment asking how much FaZe Clan made, so I decided I would do the video. You know, if you want me to talk about someone else, just let me know and I'll calculate their earnings for you and make a video about it. Yeah, see you later.
