Ryan: A Seven-Year-Old Kid is the Highest-Paid YouTube Star

It is very usual that kids spend most of their time playing with their toys either alone or with other same-aged children, but Ryan, a little preschooler, spends most of his time making videos for his YouTube channel named Ryan ToysReview. This toy review channel has not only brought him stardom but also made him the highest-paid YouTube star.
According to a report published by Forbes magazine, the seven-year-old Ryan earned $22 million in the last year, which ended on June 1, 2018. His YouTube channel had a total of 26 billion views since its journey in March 2015. His YouTube channel has also more than 17 million subscribers, mostly children around his age.

Ryan’s popular YouTube channel earns revenue from two main sources: pre-roll ads and sponsors, hence making him a mini-millionaire. Apart from making reviews of toys, he also launched his own line of toys and apparels, known as Ryan’s World, with Walmart this past August.


After the report got published, Ryan’s parents received both positive and negative comments from readers. Some people think that Ryan’s parents are taking advantage of their child’s popularity and making money. They also called for a ban of the videos. However, Ryan is enjoying his fame. Seeing Ryan’s success, many people will now try to follow this path and create their own YouTube channel. I doubt very few might get success in this online platform.
