A seven-year-old boy who reviews toys has been revealed as YouTube’s highest-earning star, raking in $22m.
一名7岁的男孩通过评论玩具,成为YouTube收入最高的明星,收入为2200万美元。
The estimate by Forbes magazine found that Ryan of Ryan ToysReview pipped Jake Paul by $500,000 for the 12 months to June.
据《福布斯》杂志估算,名为瑞恩的男孩的账户“瑞恩评论玩具”在截至6月份的12个月中比收入最高的杰克·保罗高出了50万美元。
Videos are posted most days and one promoting a blue giant mystery eggbearing Ryan’s face has had more than a million views since Sunday.
该视频大多数日子都有更新,而且一个推广印有瑞恩头像的蓝色神秘巨蛋的视频从周日开始就获得超过一百万的观看次数。
Ryan’s earnings, which do not include tax or fees charged by agents or lawyers, have doubled compared with the previous year.
瑞恩的收入(不包括代理商或律师收取的税费)与上一年相比翻了一番。
Asked by NBC why kids liked watching his videos, Ryan - who is now eight - replied: "Because I’m entertaining and I’m funny."
当被美国全国广播公司(NBC)问为什么孩子们喜欢看他的视频时,现在已经八岁的瑞恩回答说:“因为我很有趣,而且我很搞笑。”
Since the channel was set up by Ryan’s parents in March 2015, its videos have had almost 26 billion views and amassed 17.3 million followers.
该频道由瑞恩的父母于2015年3月成立,其视频已有近260亿次观看,并积累了1730万粉丝。
Forbes said all but $1m of the $22m total is generated by advertising shown before videos, with the remainder coming from sponsored posts.
《福布斯》表示,总计2200万美元中仅有100万美元来自视频前播放的广告,其余部分来自赞助帖子。
The amount generated by sponsored posts is small compared with other top YouTubers, Forbes writes. It is "the result not only of how few deals Ryan (or his family) chooses to accept, but also the fact that his pint-sized demographic isn’t exactly all that flush".
《福布斯》写道,与其他顶级YouTube玩家相比,瑞恩的赞助帖子产生的收入很少。 这不仅是因为瑞恩(或他的家人)选择接受的交易数量很少,而且他的小型受众并不那么冲动。
As he is still a child, 15% of Ryan’s earnings are put into a bank account that he can only access when he becomes a legal adult.
由于他还是个孩子,瑞恩15%的收入都存入银行账户,只有当他成为合法成年人时才能使用。
