Study claims PewDiePie outearns every other YouTuber by \u2018millions\u2019 YouTube: PewDiePie \/ YouTube \/ UnsplashA study published on August 6 that collected data of merchandise sales and YouTube views claims that Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg makes millions above any other creator on video-hosting platform. The last year has been very good for PewDiePie. With the infamous T-Series vs PewDiePie feud becoming a cultural phenomenon, the Swede had a surge in views and subscribers pushing him closer to the 100 million subscriber milestone. On the August 2 episode of the \u2018h3 Podcast\u2019 he blew the hosts\u2019 minds with his crazy monthly views and subscriber count. Now, a new study suggests that those numbers might be even more insane than first thought, according to PR Week. PewDiePie makes serious bank off merchandise The study was conducted by a company called Purple Moon Promo who used a tool designed by Sellfy. According to the company, they look at the average views of other YouTubers, and then take the average cost of the merchandise they sell on their site. Using their viewership numbers, they calculate the likely amount of people that would buy their products. Given how popular PewDiePie\u2019s merchandise is, it\u2019s easy to see the potential for sales. According to them, they estimate PewDiePie makes close to $7 million alone in merchandise sales. 600The study also looked at all the views of the top creators on YouTube, and calculated what their CPM (cost per impression) could be based on their total views. While the exact number is only known to the creator, the company estimated that he makes over $1.1 million dollars a month on adverts alone. The study also listed the other top earners according to their data. And interesting enough, the YouTube superstar earns a staggering amount more, with the second highest earner on their list being stunt-group \u201cDude Perfect\u201d who make close to $3 million in merchandise and $500,000 a month in ads. 600The numbers are calculated It should be said, that no one knows what the numbers exactly are. There is a lot of guesswork and other factors to consider. Not to mention that according to Forbes last year, PewDiePie made $15.5 million total. If this study is accurate, the Swedish YouTuber would have had a dramatic increase in revenue. But it also would line up with his sharp increase in subscribers and views in the past year.

While Hila was quick to caution guessing a number, Ethan said he felt \u201cconfident\u201d that he was getting $3 a CPM. \u201cTrust me. He makes between 2 and 3 CPM with the amount of mid-rolls. It\u2019s not 1\u201d he stated before guessing Pewds makes \u201c1.8 million a month.\u201d Regardless of what the actual numbers are, there is no doubt that his views and subscriber counts is absolutely insane.
