Intro
Gaming is something that seems to be gaining a lot of momentum right now, as the quarantine hit. People opted to experience their wildest dreams and desires all in their own living room, as gaming has gained momentum so has watchung people play games. It sounds crazy right, but gaming youtubers have been pulling in a lot of money recently from ad revenue and views on the youtube videos they post online. Something you may find obscene is some people will actually donate money to these people, only increasing their riches even more. But i can’t not mention that many of these donations made by these patrons are sent to various charities, so there is some good in this for sure
But that’s enough rambling from me now, let’s get stuck in. Here today I’m gonna be listing some info about the top 5 gaming youtubers. Stay tuned
1 – Faze Banks (Richard Bengtson)
Born on the 18th of October and currently at the age of 29, this guy has already hit a net worth of $13 million dollars. Faze net worth is high not out of luck, it wasn’t given or gifted to him. He’s had to work for his success in the gaming industry. He’s a very varied guy, by that I mean he does all sorts of things. He surely isn’t your standard monster drinking sit at home all day with the lights off kind of gamer. He doesn’t have greasy long hair, and he actually looks like he takes a shower at least once a day. He’s into singing and producing, this isn’t something that usually runs alongside gaming for a profession. So good on him, keeping balance in life is good and that applies to everything
2 – PewDiePie (Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg)
Now dont get triggered ok! Before you get all crazy with me, this list is in no particular order. So keep your pants on please. I think if you even watch youtube you’ll know this guy, he actually has the biggest following out of every creator on youtube. So as you may presume this guy is raking it in, I think it’d be impossible to spend that amount of money. With a net worth of over $52 million, you can understand why i reckon it’d be impossible
3 – VanossGaming (Evan thong)
Being among the richest youtubers in the world this guy has surely made a big name for himself. He specializes in playing games like GTA 5, yes of course a very controversial game. Especially among young people, but somehow he’s managed to make a living out of what he enjoys most. Which is clearly doing hit and runs, and punching people in the street. But all in the safe space of his own living room, what a time to be alive
4 – MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson)
Now I’ve got to give it to the guy, what a generous and selfless person he is. He has many videos where he will spoil random people in parking lots and parks with crazy gifts. But, like most things there is a catch. He first of all will make a large sum of money from these generosity videos, is that a bad thing? No, not at all. He has to earn some money somehow, he definitely makes his money back after putting out the video. But I say good for him, he’s making a massive difference in someone’s average life whilst making a large sum of money for himself and his team. Born on the 7th of May, at only 23 years old. This guy has achieved a lot more than what people could achieve in 5 lifetimes. He’s also given aliot away which makes people very fond of him, it makes me fond of him too!
5 – Fernanfloo (Luis Fernando Flores Alvarado)
I don’t mean to be rude, and if you’re reading this Fernanfloo I do really apologize. But this guy looks the youngest out of all of them. He’s got a really cute little baby face. He may not look it but he’s actually 29 years old, and oh boy, has he achieved a lot. Writing this article makes me want to start a gaming channel. No, but all jokes aside this guy has done extremely well for himself. Being Salvadoran will make that even harder for him, Salvador isn’t the safest place, but he made it through. He’s been in the business since 2011, and his content ranges from daily vlogs to gameplay videos. He also has in total over 9 billion views, crazy right?
My Closing thoughts on this topic
So as you have read, it is a pretty normal thing to be bringing in mountains of gold just by playing a few games. Well that’s the perspective many people may have at first, but i have to tell you. There is a lot more to it than that, we only see the tip of the iceberg. This is of course a very lucrative business, but at the same time it’s unhealthy, time consuming and also dangeorios. Being in a constant state of virtual reality can be damaging to your mental health. Sitting down for long periods of time bent over playing games can be bad for your spine and overall posture. And i would say dangerous because you can easily become hooked on it
What’s my advice if you wanna get started, well my answer would be the simple word that you should be applying in all areas of your life. That word is moderation, do everything in moderation. It will make you balance your life better. If you need an example, have you ever seen Italian men. No more words needed, I’ll leave you to do the research!
