He’s no Ninja, but he’s certainly made a name (and a tidy sum of cash) for himself on YouTube. Evan Fong, aka Vanossgaming, has 24 million subscribers on YouTube. His unique, eye-catching thumbnails earn him millions of views on his shenanigan-filled GTA 5 and Gmod videos. The dude has a successful brand on his hands, but how much money is it making him?
At the end of 2019, Forbes listed Vanossgaming as one of the “kids” who are killing it on YouTube. He was tenth on their list of the highest paid YouTube stars, butting up against big names like Markiplier, PewDiePie, and Jefree Star. In order to figure out exactly how much these monolith channels are worth, Forbes made earnings estimates “based on data from Captiv8, SocialBlade and Pollstar as well as interviews with industry insiders.”
With this methodology in mind, Forbes calculated that Vanossgaming must be grossing $11.5 million each year. That’s nothing to sneeze at, to put it plainly. Between June of 2018 and June of 2019, Vanossgaming drew in approximately 1.5 billion views. Again, a very impressive number, but let’s break that down into dollars and cents.
YouTubers earn their big, bodacious paychecks by monetizing their channels. Thanks to his healthy upload schedule, SocialBlade estimates that Vanossgaming earns an average of 4 million views per day. Those 8 million eyeballs looking at the ads on his channel brings in anywhere between $1,100 to $17,700 per day. It’s no wonder then that his net worth is estimated to be $25 million.
Not everyone can become one of the most subscribed-to channels on YouTube, but Vanossgaming was able to do it. He’s been at this whole YouTube thing for a while now and only seems to be getting better at attracting those hard-won views. The fact that he has dozens of videos with upwards of 8 million views speaks volumes to his success, and his hefty net worth, as a YouTuber.
