In this day and age, being a YouTuber has become an actual job that earns some people way more than the normal nine-to-five job. But of course, it all depends on whether people want to watch their content or not, which ultimately decides how much a YouTuber can earn.
This online industry is growing rapidly, and particularly in South Korea, the YouTube industry has become quite popular among youngsters. But who knew that a six-year-old would become so successful doing YouTube videos that she could afford to buy a luxury house worth about RM31 million??
According to Oriental Daily, Boram and her family have two YouTube channels, Boram Tube Vlog, with 17.6 million subscribers, and Boram Tube ToysReview, with 13.6 million subscribers. Being one of the most popular YouTube channels in South Korea, the views on Boram’s videos vary from about 1.5 million views to up to 300 million views!
According to Korea Herald, they reported that the two channels hold the biggest share in marketing profits among Korean YouTube channels as listed on Social Blade. The analyst estimated the average monthly revenue coming from the two channels to be around $3.1 million (RM12.7 million)
