Eight-Year-Old Ryan Kaji Becomes Highest Paid YouTuber For Second Year In A Row

Imagine having to do what boys of his age do but get paid for it, not just paid but be paid enough to be the highest paid YouTuber. Eight-year-old Ryan Kaji, who has a jaw-dropping fan following of 22 million subscribers on YouTube has been dubbed the highest paid YouTuber for the second time raking in an estimated $26 million (£19.8 million) against last year’s $22 million (£17.3 million) last year.

The Richie Rich list compiled by Forbes based on how much money the YouTubers brought in from the site between June 2018 and June 2019.

Ryan, from Texas, USA, started out reviewing toys when he was three and now has all the money to probably buy every toy one can ever want.

Expanding his business, Ryan now also now also has line of more than 100 toys, a show on Nickleodeon and is branching out into science experiments on his channel, Ryan's World.
