It's hard to deny that YouTube has become a staple on the internet, and it seems like it's here to stay. We all want to watch the people we love succeed, and YouTubers seem to have created that same relationship with their fans. Over the years, many YouTubers have built a stable platform for themselves along with a loyal fan following who support them through everything. Keep reading to see if any of your favorite people ended up being one of the most-watched YouTubers recently!
At only seven-years-old, Diana is the most subscribed YouTube channel from Ukraine and the second largest for kids. With fourteen channels on the platform translated into nine languages, Diana's channel was created to document her and her brother, Roma's, life to their family and friends; but it quickly caught attention online, gaining around a million followers in just one year!
After seeing their children's YouTube channel grow rapidly, the siblings' parents quickly abandoned their jobs to focus on YouTube full-time -- which was clearly the right decision. Now they have their own hybrid animated and live-action show, along with merchandise and applications.
In 2021, Anastasia Yuryevna Radzinskaya, AKA Like Nastya, was one of the most popular YouTubers. At only seven years old, she is in the Youtube hall of fame as both the fifth-most viewed channel and eighth-most subscribed channel!
Nastya's parents sold their companies to start a full-time YouTube channel when doctors diagnosed her with cerebral palsy. The doctors were worried that she might never be able to speak. The channel, which started out by posting toy unboxing videos, shifted gears by documenting vlogs of their trips to amusement parks all over the world.
It was quite a risky move, seeing as they took out around 1 million Russian Rubles from their family's savings per month in order to produce quality content on the platform. However, their big leap of faith turned out pretty successful in the end - she has an estimated net worth of more than $187.2 million!
Vladislav and Nikita, a brother duo based in Miami, Florida, have captured YouTube with their fun videos of them playing with toys-sometimes joined by their mom Victoria Vashketova and baby brother Christian Sergey Vashketov. They don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon either; they own around 21 channels available in 18 languages which have generated over 118 billion views collectively!
Amassed by a following of over 3 million children globally, the partners have additionally sealed a pact with an Australian-based licensing agency and Playmates Toys to help take their brand worldwide. Now available in stores such as Target, the twosome also has merchandise and mobile applications.
Jimmy Donaldson's fame probably wasn't on his mind when he created his YouTube channel in 2012 at the age of 12. MrBeast6000 first posted videos nine years ago, but it wasn't until 2017 that one of his videos reached 100,000 views and went viral.
Mr. Beast is one of the most popular YouTubers with 82 million subscribers and 13.8 billion views, coming in second only to another channel owner. His fame likely comes from a combination of his fear-invoking stunts, comedic elements, and gaming skills, but might be bestowed by his giving spirit. He gave away $1 million dollars in 2018 alone!
In 2020, he created Finger on the App, a game that challenged players to keep their fingers on their phone's screen for as long as possible. The players with the most screen-time would win $25,000. 4 players ended up winning $20,000 each. A sequel for the game was then released and offered a cash prize of $100,00.
The most viewed video on Jimmy's channel is based off of Youtube's viral Asian drama, Squid Game. In this game there were 456 players competing for a prize of $456,000 .
Constantly making content that kept people intrigued was no easy task, but some of these creators managed to do so successfully and have been rewarded with a place among the best rising YouTubers in the world.
