The ten YouTubers in the world in 2022

 #1. Ryan Kaji

According to Forbes, in 2020, he was the highest-paid YouTuber for the third year in a row. He recorded a turnover of more than 29 million dollars which were added (taxes and discounted expenses) to his fortune of 80 million, and in this year, 2021, he is following the same path. And he’s only ten years old!

Ryan Kaji lives in Texas (USA) and is dedicated to unboxing toys on Ryan’s World channel, which also broadcasts homemade science experiments and family stories for his 30.7 million subscribers. The Kaji family is getting richer, as Ryan’s two sisters also have YouTube channels. Whether it is child exploitation, it will be up to the educators to tell us. But that doesn’t look very good to us.

 #2. Mr. Beast (Jimmy Donaldson)

23-year-old from Kansas (USA), Jimmy is known for showing people taking on challenges in exchange for money. He appeared in a nearly 24-hour video in which he counted 100,000 and uploaded another to the platform in which he recounts how he spent 50 hours “buried alive.” He enjoys raising money for charitable causes and has a fortune of $25 million (he is said to earn eight a month). 71.1 million Subscribers follow him.

 #3. Nastya

This 7-year-old girl named Anastasia Radzinskaya teaches how to do many things on YouTube:

“Nastya learns how to be a stewardess on the plane,” “Nastya visits her friend and learns ways to visit her friends at home,” “Nastya pretends to be a superhero and helps her friends”…

In 2019, originally from Russia, he moved to Florida (USA) with his family after gaining popularity. According to The Moscow Times, she has a net worth of $20 million, of which $18.5 million corresponds to 2019 and 2020.
