There are a lot of YouTubers out in the world – this we know.
We also know that some of those YouTubers make a lot of money.
Like, a lot. Like, in the millions.
Most of these YouTubers tend to make their money through makeup tutorials, hauls, comedy sketches, or just regular old blogging about their everyday lives.
However, one little boy who appears to have found a gap in the online video market is Ryan from Ryan ToysReview.
The six-year-old has his own YouTube channel where he – you guessed it – reviews toys.
These aren’t just any toy reviews though. These are toy reviews aimed at Ryan’s 10 million subscribers, so you know they’d better be good.
And, seeing as Ryan made it to the top 10 of Forbes’ highest paid YouTubers list from June 2016 to June 2017, we’re going to go ahead and say that his videos are pretty good.
Lately, there’s been one about a shopping spree.
There’s been another about an advent calendar and another about a Thomas the Tank Engine toy.
There’s also been lots of videos about science experiments – educational and fun.
According to Forbes, Ryan made $11m (€9m) in one year, literally just from YouTubing.
Clearly, the six-year-old has enlisted the help of his parents to made these videos a reality but at the end of the day, the content is all Ryan.
And if you’re wondering why Ryan’s videos took off as hard as they did, you need look no further than the one that essentially launched him.
It’s called Giant Egg Surprise opening.
And it’s adorable.
Ryan’s mum, Loann, says that she has used her son’s earnings to set up a trust fund for him and his sisters.
Sure, at least he’ll be well looked after.
