MrBeast Makes More Money Monthly as a YouTuber Than the Combined Monthly IGR of All 36 Nigerian States.
MrBeast, the biggest YouTuber in the world, earns between $50 million to $120 million every month. (This include ad revenue, sponsorships, merchandising, and business earnings built through YouTube.)
At the current official exchange rate of ₦1,530 per dollar, $120 million is about ₦183.6 billion.
To put that into perspective, the combined Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of all 36 Nigerian states and the FCT is approximately ₦202.5 billion per month.
That’s just about ₦17 billion more than what one YouTube channel makes monthly, simply by creating content and playing games.
MrBeast’s first video was uploaded 13 years ago. I checked that video this morning, it once had fewer than 200 views. But since his channel blew up, people went back to it, and it now has over 30 million views.
Thirteen years later, he’s the biggest YouTuber, generating almost the same amount of money as all Nigerian states combined.
The video he posted yesterday already has over 55 million views. Imagine that!
Why I’m Sharing This:
-There’s insane money on the internet.
-You don’t have to build your own platform. You can leverage platforms others have built.
-Identify a profitable business, and dedicate your time to building it. Even if it takes years, be patient.
Stop building with a quick-money or survival mode mindset.
Stop wasting time arguing with people trapped in ignorance.
Focus on a profitable venture, and let your sweat wet and dry on your desk until the world hears about you.
