00:00 Here are the creators that came out on top, making bank in 2023.
00:05 Forbes magazine recently ranked the top creators of 2023, mostly based on follower count and
00:11 income.
00:12 As a surprise to virtually no one, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as Mr. Beast, landed in the number
00:17 one spot.
00:18 In just the last year alone, Forbes reported that Beast made a total of roughly $82 million,
00:24 putting him an astounding $47 million above the second highest earning creator.
00:29 Mr. Beast has become known for his larger than life videos, such as building a Wonka
00:33 chocolate factory and paying for laser eye surgery for 1,000 legally blind participants.
00:39 Not to mention his numerous business ventures, such as his chocolate brand Feastables.
00:43 The creators to claim second place are none other than YouTube veterans Rhett and Link
00:47 who run Good Mythical Morning.
00:49 The duo raked in $35 million in 2023, coming a long way since they started posting skits
00:55 on YouTube in 2006.
00:57 Now they have an entire company, Mythical, that creates a number of different online
01:02 shows and employs over 100 people.
01:05 Last but not least, in third place is a creator who's just 12 years old, Ryan Kaji, who
01:10 also made around $35 million this year.
01:13 Kaji reached internet fame at just 9 years old after his parents started posting the
01:17 young star's toy reviews online.
01:19 Kaji's parents quickly made use of the kids' insanely viral videos and launched their own
01:24 toy company, Ryan's World, while collaborating with major brands such as Roblox and Xbox.
