In this informal video, the host first shares his own recent YouTube performance—16,000 views in a month generated about $20, establishing a personal earnings rate of $1.25 per 1,000 views. Using this rate as a baseline, he calculates monthly and annual earnings for the ten most‑viewed gaming YouTubers, citing publicly available view counts for the previous month. The rankings start with PewDiePie (261 M views → $326 K/month, $3.915 M/year) and continue through The Diamond Minecart, PopularMMOs, Jacksepticeye, Markiplier, Stampylonghead, El Rubius OMG, Nanflow, ResinDevil, and Juggerman, each with their respective view totals and estimated earnings. Throughout, he emphasizes that the numbers are derived from his simple per‑thousand‑views formula, not arbitrary guesses, and adds casual commentary about the wealth these creators generate (e.g., buying Lamborghinis) and the fact that many viewers may not have seen some of the lower‑ranked channels. The video also points viewers to a description box where all calculations are listed for quick reference.
Chapters
So pretty much— I should probably move closer— pretty much I don't enjoy Advanced Warfare anymore. And yeah, I'm just gonna do the video like this. I don't think it really matters. My notes are written over there, so I have to like look away from the webcam to read everything. But I got 16,000 views last month and I made $20. So we're gonna use that. I'm gonna calculate how much the top 10 gaming YouTubers made last month, because if I got 16,000 views and that turned into $20, then every 1,000 views is $1.25. Sorry, I had to think about that. So if every 1,000 views these YouTubers got $1.25, this is how much they'd be making. Quick reference down in the description, you'll be able to see everything. So if you don't wanna, you know, listen to my voice this whole video, you can just look in the description and all the numbers will be written down there. So let's jump right into it. Now in first place, not a shock to anyone, we have PewDiePie. He got 261 million views last month. So if you use the same estimates that I got in my earnings every 1,000 views, is $1.25. Then last month, PewDiePie made $326,000, and last year he made $3,915,000. Next up in the number 2 spot, we have The Diamond Minecart, and he got 259 million views last month, only 2 million less than PewDiePie, which comes out to $323,000 per month, and he's making $3,885,000 per year. Coming in at number 3 is PopularMMOs. He got 219 million views last month, which is $273,000 per month, and obviously times 12 is $3,285,000 per year. These top 3 YouTubers all make over $3 million per year. Coming in at number 4 is Jacksepticeye. He got 211 million views last month, which is $263,000 per month, times 12 is $3,165,000 per year. So I gotta correct what I said earlier. Actually, the top 4 YouTubers— the top 4 gaming YouTubers are all making over $3 million per year. $3 million, you know how many Lamborghinis, just how many cars you could buy with that much money? Coming in at number 5, we have Markiplier. He got 158 million views last month, which is $197,000 per month. That's a lot, I mean, most of our parents don't make that per year, and he's making $197,000 per month times 12 is $2,370,000 per year. Coming in at number 6 is Stampylonghead. And, uh, he has a secondary channel called, I think, WonderQuest, but we're not going to add that in here. This is just his main channel, and his main channel got 138 million views last month, which is $172,000 per month and just over $2 million per year. And let me just remind you, I'm not pulling these numbers out of my butt. Like, I'm using legitimate statistics to calculate these earnings. Like I said, I got 16,000 views and I earned $20, so every 1,000 views equals $1.25. I'm not just making up these numbers. I'm using reason and logic when I'm, you know, calculating these. Next is a Spanish Minecraft YouTuber. Honestly, I'm gonna butcher this name. It's El Rubius OMG. Yeah, I know I didn't say that right. But anyways, he got 124 million views last month, which is $155,000 per month and $1.8 million per year. Coming in at number 8 is another YouTuber I've never watched, so I'm not quite sure how to pronounce it. In fact, the rest of these YouTubers I've never watched before, but it's for Nanflow, I believe, and he got 119 million views last month, which is $148,000 per month and $1.7 million per year. Number 9 is ResinDevil. He got 110 million views last month, which is $137,000 per month and $1.6 million per year. And to wrap it all up, at number 10, we have Juggerman, who got 91 million views last month, which is $113,000 per month and $1.3 million per year.
