PewDiePie hits back at claims that he makes more money than MrBeast on YouTube YouTube: PewDiePie, MrBeastFelix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg is undisputedly the king of YouTube, boasting the most subscribers out of any independent creator\u2026 so you\u2019d think he\u2019d be making the most money as an individual on the platform, right? Well, according to Kjellberg himself, this assumption is dead wrong, in spite of his impressive career on the site. Kjellberg has been making videos since 2010, and was one of the first creators to rise to mainstream prominence via YouTube with his horror game playthroughs. Since then, he\u2019s managed to amass a whopping 110 million subscribers (in part due to his rivalry with Indian media label T-Series) and an extremely dedicated fanbase\u2026 but he\u2019s not making as much as someone with less subscribers, it seems. Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is one of the hottest names on YouTube, and for good reason; his videos almost always top YouTube\u2019s trending page due to their over-the-top nature, from his insane challenges with million dollar prizes to major cash giveaways and charitable work to help people in need. His bombastic (and highly expensive) content has earned him a combined following nearing 100 million subscribers across his multiple channels, and according to PewDiePie, should make more than he does in ad revenue. PewDiePie said as much while reacting to a video dissecting YouTube\u2019s \u201crichest\u201d content creators, which pinned MrBeasts\u2019 adsense revenue at about $13.8 million. The same video estimated PewDiePie\u2019s adsense earnings as $12.2 million \u2014 something he vehemently denied. \u201cGet the f**k outta here!\u201d an incredulous Kjellberg joked. \u201cMore than MrBeast, almost? No f**king way! Bruh, no. My adsense is so f**ked. Realistically, my adsense is less than half [of that amount], probably.\u201d (Topic begins at 9:03) MrBeast recently opened up about his own earnings during an episode of Logan Paul\u2019s IMPAULSIVE podcast, where he admitted that, on paper, he was the \u201cpoorest person in the room\u201d in spite of the big bucks he shows off in his content. He also revealed that he spends about $4 million monthly on his videos \u2014 a huge budget for content that, on average, rakes in over half a million views. While it\u2019s unclear exactly how much each YouTuber makes, it\u2019s clear that fans can only guesstimate their earnings\u2026 and it\u2019s likely that they aren\u2019t making as much as we actually think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
