MrBeast is the highest-paid YouTuber in the world in 2021, with earnings of $54 million

According to some YouTubers, the year 2021 must have been a very successful one. It is becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between content creators such as MrBeast, Jake Paul, and Markiplier and celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Will Smith, as their earnings exceed those of a number of Hollywood celebrities.

After earning $54 million in 2018, MrBeast is ranked first on the list of the top ten highest-paid YouTubers of 2021, according to Forbes. That is nearly twice the amount earned by the top earner in 2020, Ryan Kaji, who earned $29.5 million. The 10 billion views on his YouTube channel account for a significant portion of the $54 million in revenue. Additionally, MrBeast Burger's app and menu, which is currently available in 1,600 restaurants across the United States and has already sold five million sandwiches, played a significant role in the victory.

Jake Paul comes in second with $45 million in his bank account. Three boxing matches in 2021 against Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley are expected to generate the majority of this revenue ($40 million). The boxer, on the other hand, claims that these figures are a little lower than what he actually earned in his career. This is not surprising given that he primarily uses YouTube to promote his boxing career. The remaining $5 million comes from advertisements on the video platform.

Markiplier finished third on the podium, earning $38 million in revenue from YouTube and merchandise sales combined. The Edge of Sleep, a post-apocalyptic thriller written and directed by Markiplier, will be broadcast on television following the success of his Unus Annus series, which he ultimately decided to delete. Markiplier hopes to sell the series to a streaming service, such as Hulu or Netflix, by the end of the year.

She is ranked sixth, the same as Nastya is. The following is the complete list of the top ten highest-paid YouTubers in the year 2021:

• MrBeast ($54 million)
• Jake Paul ($45 million)
• Markiplier ($38 million)
• Rhett & Link ($30 million)
• Unspeakable ($28.5 million)
• Like Nastya ($28 million)
• Ryan Kaji/Ryan’s World ($27 million)
• Dude Perfect ($20 million)
• Logan Paul ($18 million)
• Preston ($16 million)

These values are estimations based on measurements taken from January 1st, 2021, to December 31st, 2021, and data from Captiv8, SocialBlade, Pollstar, and industry insiders. These figures are pre-tax and don't include fees for agents, lawyers, and managers.
