YouTubes making more than surgeons

[Josh100LuBu]

This is probably complete nonsense, maybe the elite few channels make that kind of money but it's still something worth talking about. I watched a video where a video maker had 200,000 subs and he said he's earning more than a regular surgeon. I've actually heard this phrase several times from bigger Youtubers, do you think its at all true?

Google has infinite amounts of money beyond countable so possibly..

I believe it's possible, but it's really hard with only ad revenue as your source of income.
Most Youtubers have additional methods like selling shirts, products and etc

Does it make me a little upset that this guy makes more money then I make within a year? Yes, but I gotta hand it to those loud mouth entrepreneurs for having a job that they enjoy doing..

A surgeon should start doing YouTube videos of their surgeries... Then they'll be making YouTube Surgeon money!

The money people make from YouTube is crazy.. Like if you watched the video @Miketastic linked you'd have saw that KSI said he was a millionaire (he owns a penthouse apartment at the top of London, an insane Lamborghini & he also bought his parents house for them not to mention he pretty much owns another house that some of the sidemen live in & this is all from the money he's made online..). Now, if he has that kind of money at 21 years of age and only (stupid word to use here I know) 9/10 million subscribers, you can only imagine how much money Pewdiepie has with over 37 million subs... Although to be fair, Felix doesn't show it off where as a lot of others do, I think it's crazy how grounded and humble Felix has stayed because the majority of other people in his position wouldn't be as discreet with their riches

Big YouTubers can make way more than surgeons. I have two friends that both make over 100K a month from YouTube. You get about $1500-2000 per million views. So anyone whose getting 10 million views a month is probably making in excess of 15K per month and that's not including any outside revenue they generate from sponsorship.
