6-year-old on Forbes highest-earning YouTube celebrities makes $11 million a year reviewing toys
A six-year-old boy made Rs 70 crore in a year by reviewing toys on YouTube. The channel was launched in 2015.
What is a kid and earns in big dollars? Well, that's a six-year-old kid with a YouTube channel.
Ryan, who is the host of his own YouTube channel -- Ryan ToysReview -- is making millions through internet. Ryan runs a video channel and he reviews toys.
The boy's channel made as much as $11 million (Rs 70 crore approximately) in 2017, of course excluding the deduction of tax. What doesn't make you poor is certainly not tax.
The boy has even made it to the annual list of Forbes highest-earning YouTube celebrities.
Ryan's mom and dad are the foundation of the little boy's superhit channel. They shoot and produce the wonder work of the kid. Ryan ToysReview went live in March 2015 and Ryan was just three.
Ryan ToysReview had a slow start but one day in July 2015, it suddenly picked up for the boy. One of his videos went crazy viral. The video featured the boy unboxing and reviewing 'GIANT EGG SURPRISE' box which contained over 100 toys from Pixar's 'Cars' series. Want to know the views? Well, it has gathered close to 800 million views.
HOW IT STARTED
"Ryan was watching a lot of toy review channels - some of his favorites are EvanTubeHD and Hulyan Maya - because they used to make a lot of videos about Thomas the Tank Engine, and Ryan was super into Thomas," his mother told TubeFilter last year.
"One day, he asked me, 'How come I'm not on YouTube when all the other kids are?' So we just decided - yeah, we can do that. Then, we took him to the store to get his very first toy - I think it was a Lego train set - and it all started from there," she added.
And like people say, behind every successful man (in this case a child), there is a woman. And that woman is his mother Loann who quit her job as a high school science teacher to work on the channel full-time.
Well grownups, still stuck with a 9 to 5 job haa?
