This is a post inspired by the recently published list on Forbes, scheduled to appear on the November 2’nd issue of the financial magazine. I think that most of youtube watchers are already subscribed to almost all the following stars. The new generations are part of the future, so it was obvious for them to consider youtube as the global television of the future and to build their brands there. I assure you it isn’t simple and it wasn’t simple for them to attract so many fans (meaning subscribers) which is what made the advertisers to cut their particular deals with any of them. Even the ultra known adsense platform is a real source if you have these many views on your videos. The following people have to make you to admire them, not to envy, because they had the courage to leave everything for their creations. It is true that not everyone is cut for stardom, or even for a whole bunch of money, but the remedy for this is that you have jobs, and you’re afraid of not losing them, or relaxed for having tomorrow’s bread assured.
Felix Kjellberg, alias “PewDiePie“
He is the leading champion of youtube, with $12 million. He is Swedish, he has an Italian girlfriend with another famous account even if it doesn’t make this top, “CutiePieMarzia“. They both are very reserved with media contacts, no interviews, no paparazzi, with rare visits to Los Angeles YouTube Studios.

To support my sayings, you have below one of her most comical videos.
Roman Atwood
Roman Attwood is a prankster and he made $2.5 million this year. He makes what Ashton Kutcher used to, in Punk’d. Not on the very best taste, but with a lot of glow, so he is another YouTube personality.

Rosanna Pansino
With $2.5 million, Rosanna Pansino is not at all the last on this top, but on a tie with her above two accounts. She’s American a baker, an actress. She is best known for her nerdy-themed cooking show Nerdy Nummies, one of the most popular baking shows on YouTube.

As you see, I have added their account links, where, if you don’t already know them, you can have a pleasurable experience starting now. Along Lilly Singh, PewDiePie – CutiePieMarzia pair is another favorite. I also like Smosh and how Lindsey Stirling sounds. Not to forget the React account, which was brilliantly made.
