Pewdiepie makes $7 million per year?

baka

That seems ridiculously high, even with the amount of subs he has. I read somewhere, but I don't remember where, that the amount was around 1-2 million after all taxes and other expenses- I will try to find the link

I don't... give ... a ... F♥ck bout how much pewds does per year

checked his stream on twitch yesterday, literally 12 year old grills and gays yelling YOUR TWEET WAS SO FUNNY UHUHUHU, I LOVE YOU. I don't want to live on this planet anymore....

I don't care.
Haters gonna hate

nope, not everyone gets ads per view and some use adblock.

You can learn more about it through this guy

I'm not interested, but I'm all for people making money off of simpletons. Besides, $7 Million only qualifies as slightly rich anymore.

I doubt it.

PewDiePie is actually making roughly from $1.6-1.7 million at minimum to about $16-17Million at maximum per year... depending on subs/views additions an stuff each month

His charity stuff aside, I think he is a weirdo/fruitcake and is about as appealing to me as Justin Bieber (who I loathe).

Unsubbed him before he was cool.

Bullshit.

Good for him, It doesn't make me happy, It doesn't bother me, I don't care.

Also I don't follow him a lot, but isn't his production costs quite low?

My understanding is that the bigger channels are quite expensive to make content for if they have to film anything with decent quality. But, let's players and such just throw web cam feed next to video and upload it after some editting, basicly zero costs there...

Good for him.

That's what everyone in the youtuber world its trying to do and I don't think that line of work would go for the long run (you can be a popular youtuber in your 20's even in your 30's, but stretching it more than that would be really difficult because "the viewers" and the fans are something very random: today they love you and tomorrow nobody cares about you).

He can save money and get a more normal job in the years to come without worries.

I've had some laughs with his videos in some hard times for me and it didn't cost me anything, so I'm ok with him having that money.

the thing I hate about him is that he gets advanced copies of some games, and then he does a full playthrough...weeks before the official release. How is that fair to the other LPers who try to do their work the honest way: Get up early on the release day, get the game and play it. I watched PDP before, but after this happened I stopped. And I realized that his humor is just yelling like a girl at things that are not scary.

youtube kept recommending me pewdiepie videos so I had to install this script

Don't care. I'm more interested in that the Yogscast is 2nd place. :)
Also surprised that TotalBiscuit isn't in the list.

I don't care. some guys get much more for throwing / kicking balls around once a week.

Good for him, i rarely watch any of his videos however i have none of the idiotic, jelly fueled, hate some people, even around here, seem to have for him.

Estimated, but he's no doubt made a million or two. Far more are getting more for doing less (or doing more evil).

As for me, I don't like him or his "work" and will immediately close a tab if his voice or image appears but I'm not going to whine and complain about him. I see him as just one of those things people are into for a while and then look back and wonder "How did I used to like this?"
By far the worst thing about him is that he's part of the message that you too can be a YouTube e-celebrity if you're willing to whore yourself out and sell your soul to Google.

"Estimated yearly earnings"
Looks at total amount of views of the channel.

Ok sure, because PewDiePie has only had a channel for a year...
(Also, UberHaxorNova already said that those estimates are bullshit)

Based on Social Blade's statistics for him and comparing my own channel's actual monetary gain results vs what social blade reports, I think Pewdiepie makes around $3M-$5M per year.

I got that number by looking at SB's estimated monthly earnings (monthly, not yearly, because their yearly stat is currently broken) for me, taking my actual earnings and getting the %age of the max earnings SB reports. Then going to PDP's SB page and using that %age to gauge his earnings. Of course it's not that accurate since it takes into account only cpm/views of the last 30 days and multiplies it by 12... hence the big range of 3 - 5 m.

He found a good market place and he's using it perfectly. Good for him.
While he seems to be a super-nice guy, I think his videos are so silly and void of actual content that end up being just annoying.
