It is a matter of perspective whether 6 figures is good money or not – personally I don’t start getting impressed till 7 figures. Google’s Eileen Naughton, the company’s director of media platforms, told the audience of a number 6-figure earners at the OMMA Video conference in New York in mid-June.
The high-pitched YouTube star “Fred.” During her keynote, Naughton said Lucas Cruikshank, who plays “Fred,” is making a six-figure income from his YouTube videos. That includes YouTube partner revenue and money from “Fred’s” ongoing ad deal with Zipit Wireless. “Fred” is the most subscribed YouTube channel of all time and has earned more than 300 million views total. Other YouTube celebrities are supporting themselves from the site too, including most notably Michael Bukely’s “What the Buck,” which he has said earns more than $100,000 a year from his videos.
