The world's richest YouTuber is a former Tesco worker from Hampshire.
Dan Middleton, 26, raked in a staggering £12.3MILLION from his channel in 2017, according to Forbes.

Better known to his legion of fans as DanTDM, he posts videos of him playing popular computer games and offers tips.

The video-sharing site gives 'professional' YouTubers around 68 per cent of advertising profits.

And with an army of 16 million subscribers, that means Dan's videos are hugely profitable.

He recently performed on a live tour including a stop at the Sydney Opera House which was the second fastest-selling show in the venue's history.

Mr Middleton, from Aldershot, began his career posting videos of him playing Pokemon while at university.

He is now mostly known for his expertise on Minecraft, a game which involves building a 3D world.

Speaking about his success, Mr Middleton admitted he has been left a little overwhelmed: "It's something I was just not prepared for at all.

"It’s something I’ve slowly been learning about in the past three or four years. In the past five years YouTube has evolved. Being a YouTuber was not a thing before.

"I know people that make similar content to me who are 30 or 40 years old so I don’t think there is an age limit to it at all."

In total his videos have been viewed more than 10 billion times.

The formula isn't linear as you depict here. It varies as there are IFs.
The funny thing is people don't go after their basic needs again but wants.

We now live in a world where mechanized farming can increase output by a hundred fold and thus allow lazy folks play games all day while their food is prepared.

Was expectin to see pewdiepie tho

Funny enough I knew of the potential.of YouTube long ago but wasn't too interested because of the poor internet service. Now I wonder.


YouTube isn't viewed as much here compared to areas where data is cheap and affordable.

Some times I spend hours watching videos on YouTube. Data consumption is functional.


YouTube is the way to go. Find your niche and tap into it. Do it at your spare time.

There's videos of people reacting to other videos too. It's crazy.

Put up.something cool and get subscribers and views that's it.

Actually, the richest is PewDiePie. Quick Google search will tell you all you need to know.
