Warning! What you are about to read may seem unbelievable but though estimates, the “facts” are based on data & research. At least that’s what Online financial hub TopDollar claims.

TopDollar by Accredited Debt Relief has just released a “definitive” list of the most popular individual YouTubers (no brands, bands or shows) in nearly every country in the world. Since the data presented in the list showed some astounding earnings & following, we thought we would reproduce some of the key findings on our Website, of course with due credit to TopDollar. So here’s the list of the most popular YouTubers in the world.

So here are some of the key findings:

  • The world’s most popular individual YouTuber is PewDiePie, a Swedish influencer based in England with a channel registered in the US. He has 105 million subscribers. But, wait, he earns US $ 1.16 million a month!
  • Now, before you recover from your faint, brace yourselves. There’s more. The most popular YouTuber actually based in the US is a six-year-old Russian-American named Anastasia Radzinskaya, who has the YouTube handle, “Like Nastya”. Guess what her (estimated) earnings are? US 7.7 million a month!
  • The most popular beauty channel to also be the top YouTube channel in its country is NikkieTutorials in the Netherlands with 13.4 million subscribers.
  • The most popular gaming YouTuber in the US is Markiplier, who has 26 million subscribers.

TopDollar has explained that to arrive at the most popular YouTubers names it used statistical Sites like Social Blade & Vidooly to find out which YouTuber had the most subscribers in each country aross all the continents. If the most subscribed channel was a band, media channel or company of any kind rather than an individual YouTuber, it looked for the next highest subscribed channel.

TopDollar then used “Banner Tag” to find average daily views, & estimated how much each channel was earning using a Site called “Noxinfluencer”.

Just that readers know, YouTubers make money from advertisements shown within their Content. To arrive at an estimated income figure, TopDollar has said in its report that it used the Noxinfluencer YouTube Money Calculator, which takes the average views & number of subscribers of a YouTube channel to estimate how much money it makes from ads per thousand views.

More findings…. For the Middle East & Central Asia market, the report said Shfa, an eight-year-old Emirati girl was the most popular YouTuber there. With average daily views of over 30 million, the Site estimated her earnings to have topped $1 million. Shfa has been posting Frozen role plays, skits & product reveals since 2015.

Saudi Arabia’s mmoshaya was not far behind. Mohammed Moshaya Al-Ghamdi shares his family diaries with around 17 million subscribers, making stars of himself & his three children in the Arab world.

So, if you would like to find out the most popular YouTubers in your region, head here.

A headsup: TopDollar has emphasized that all figures mentioned were estimated, as there were many unknown factors that decided earnings, such as the video type & location of the channel.
