Inside life of world’s richest YouTube kid who earned £21m a year aged 10… with Hawaii holidays & Japanese ski breaks
HE’S the world’s richest YouTuber, and earned a staggering £21million by the time he was just 10 years old.
And Ryan Kaji is enjoying every second of his success, with a luxurious lifestyle which includes regular trips to Hawaii, and even a skiing holiday in Japan.
The pint-sized influencer – born in October 2011 to Shion and Loann Kaji – started making videos on a YouTube channel his mum had made for him, called Ryan’s ToyReviews, when he was just three years old.
Within months, Ryan’s popularity increased and the amount of people subscribing to his page surged dramatically.
So much so that Ryan’s mum decided to quit her teaching job to manage her son’s channel full time.
His most successful videos include one back in 2015, when he opened a giant Lightning McQueen egg – and a staggering one billion people tuned in to watch.
Ryan’s channel was renamed Ryan’s World, and he’s gone from strength to strength – launching his own games, toys and even a 20-episode TV series for preschoolers.
By the time he was eight years old, he was named YouTube’s highest paid star, having earned an incredible £20million.
He can apparently earn £36,000 per video, and has an estimated net worth of £79million.
Ryan also now shares videos other than toy reviews – such as family-friendly science vlogs.
He’s the older brother of twins Emma and Kate, and the family regularly enjoy holidays – many of which are shared on Ryan’s Instagram page.
In a previous post, Ryan shared a picture of himself swimming with dolphins in Hawaii, and also taking part in his first-ever surfing lesson.
And at Christmas, he and his siblings and parents travelled to Japan, to enjoy a skiing holiday.
“Happy New Year everyone!” Ryan wrote alongside a picture of himself in the snow.
“We spent a few days skiing and snowboarding before school starts again.
“Hope everyone has an amazing time celebrating with friends and families.
“2024…. Here we come!”
In a list of richest YouTubers conducted last year, Ryan was in at number seven.
And while he earned an estimated £21million in 2022, he was beaten on the list by Like Nastya, who had 104million subscribers compared to Ryan’s 34.2million.
