YOUTUBE STARS ARE becoming more and more like Hollywood celebrities, with hordes of screaming fans and generous incomes.
But it turns out that they may be making even more money than you think.
AdAge recently published a ranking of the top YouTube stars according to their estimated monthly earnings.
The data was compiled by Outrigger Media, who focused on the top-earning channels in two genres: beauty and style, and food and cooking.
The top earner in the food and cooking genre is a channel called CharlisCraftyKitchen, which features videos of an 8-year-old named Charli sharing baking tips.
According to Outrigger’s estimates, Charli’s channel generates an average of $127,777 (€118,000) in ad revenue per month. That’s taking into account YouTube’s cut of revenue. The channel gets an average of 29 million views each month — in March, it had 29,133,270.
Charli began making her videos in 2012, when she was 6. Her 5-year-old sister, Ashlee, also plays a role as chief taste tester. The girls have made tutorials for everything from Minnie Mouse Oreo pops to jello popsicles inspired by “Frozen”.

Name and shame
@Paul Weldon: ill bring the pitch fork!
@Paul Weldon: Shamed for what exactly? They should have all stood together back in October and refused to close when there was no evidence they spread Covid-19. It’s spreading in household but that can’t be stopped so punish retailers
@Paul Weldon: Alleged.
@David Lee: its a joke how publicans and retail have been treated. I was in my local when they opened back up. It was restricted access, pre-book and very proffesional.
@Vinny Clare: but then we have a guy on RTE visiting a pub that is supposed to be closed and 12 regulars drinking there as well. Then we have hotels catering for more guests than allowed. Unfortunately the few spoil it for the many that try and comply. I am not disagreeing with the idea that some places can be safely opened, in fact it is the case that they can but the ones who break the rules need to have consequences for the punters, the owners and the managers and staff.
@David Lee: Stood together to help spread it even further?

@David Lee: There is plenty of evidence that indoor gatherings spread Covid.
@Paul Weldon: what? For selling socks?
@David Lee: And where did it come from to get into the household. The old chicken and egg conundrum
@Paul Weldon: Dealz are still selling clothes, tshirts, jeans. Hardly just the essential socks/jocks type stuff. So I’d say they’re on the list.
@David Lee: The general issue is congregation, be that in shops, pubs, restaurants, tracel on bus, train, taxi etc. The more activity the greater risk of spread at some point during the event i.e. from the moment you leave the house, travel, congregate and travel back home.
Its so frustrating how people are pushing boundaries instead of taking personal responsibility to ensure we get the infection rate down.
Is this really the best use of garda time?
@Mairead Jenkins: Yes
@Thomas O’ Donnell: The travel and the 5km rule? The shops? Both?11 days until they open up again
@Mairead Jenkins: yes
@Mairead Jenkins: yes
@SprintFitz: Still can’t be fined for breaching the 5km. Those fines haven’t come in yet so if stopped the only power they have is to advise
If the government dont have a plan to get the economy open asap 2021 will be worse than 2020. If a shop has 800sq foot it should be allowed 8 people or something to that effect. Missing silly season will kill off alot of business’s
@Vinny Clare: Many businesses are currently being kept afloat by government Covid grants and loans, do you think your comment is the motivation they needed to realise that?
@Cynical: yeah but getting the government grants and loans is a lesson in futility.
@Dick Durkin: Talk to anyone availing of them, it is the only thing sustaining their business/industry.
We’ve all seen the results of the austerity route.
They name and shame restaurants when they fail to adhere to Health regulations
No one cares!
@ccara: Except all the other law-abiding retailers!
Maybe, even though they’ve breached the regulations, they may still be entitled to a degree of anonimity. You only have to look at how heated the debates on the subject of Covid get here to realise that there are some people willing to take the law into their own hands.
We’ve seen evidence of this with protesters storming public transport recently, so is it too much of a stretch to believe that a business that did the wrong thing for maybe the right reason may become a target if named? We all want this to be over, to get the vaccine and put Covid in the past… Well, most of us anyway.
@Arch Angel: i wouldnt confuse those muppets on the luas with genuine concerns over the lazy legislation that was dished out by our finest politicians. Those clowns along with that dingbat dj should be put down
@Arch Angel: they haven’t breached the regulations. It’s still alleged
Let the guards bring these terrible alleged crimes to court,and see how far they get. It’s only a matter of time before more people will “allegedly” break these so called regulations. People have had enough of false science and fake pos cases that does not justify locking down the country.
A PUBLICAN ON VANCOUVER Island has been fined 4300 Dollars for a Breach of Covd 19 Why not the Same here And Why are Bars open at Dublin Airport Wake up Boys before it’s too late
Bit much lads in all honesty!
@VeganIreland: Says the Vegan…
@Cynical: should it be magram or did i misspell it
Good use of time
have your say
