Needless to say, I said this before: I've been watching and following Linus since his days at NCIX, and dare I say I have watched at least 75% of his videos. And that includes LinusCatTips, ChannelSuperFun, TechLinked, TechQuickie and ShortCircuit. Not a big fan of CarpoolCritics (sorry James) but that's just me, I wish them luck with that. So looking back, I like to think I have been a dedicated LTT follower for what I think it's about 9-10 years now. To my shame, I never bought merch or subscribed to FloatPlane, mostly because I kept postponing buying anything due to shipping costs being too high (I live in Europe, UK). But watching this I think... I will just buy a water bottle and a couple of t-shirts the first moment I can afford it because to be fair they deserve it and seeing how much of a difference their lttstore makes to their survival, it's only fair I support them some other way than sharing or liking their videos. Thank you for existing... I remember when I built my first gaming computer, Linuse's videos were the ones that helped me build it and chose the parts for it. And this gaming laptop I have now for the past 3 years, only bought it due to an LTT review they did on it. So... yeah. I don't know. Linus is one of the few that I hope gets stinking rich and I don't mind it one second, he's genuine good to this staff, honest and provides a lot for this community. Yet again, thank you.

I wasn't going to take a stab at this, but now I'm intrigued, and thanks to those three points at the end, I'm also feeling a bit challenged. So, even though this doesn't really matter, I'm still going to try and make an educated guess, despite the fact that I'm not the best versed in this so my estimate might end up way off. Sorry Linus.. So, by referring to Social Blade, we can try and estimate the number of views across all LMG's channels for this year. Social Blade forecasts 1.25 billion views for this channel alone this year, but given what we've seen in the video, the channel did 831.3 million views as of the 15th of September (there were 108 days left in this year), so I think Social Blade's forecast is a bit off (that might be wrong given the fact that we're going into Holiday season where views might increase because people will likely have more time to watch stuff on KZbin), but in any case, if it stayed linear (with no increase in the average daily viewership till the end of the year), then, extrapolated linearly, it should do 1.188 billion views this year. Let's round up and call it 1.2 billion (Social Blade was off by 4.16%, not bad). Adding up the views from all channels and correcting for that 4.16% difference, we arrive at a total of around 1.56 billion views annually. A quick search on Google shows that it's common for channels to make anywhere between 2,000 to 5,000 USD (tech channels are apparently on the lower end of that range) per 1,000,000 video views (not to be confused with ad views). Now, LMG's channels are watched worldwide (probably with the majority in Tier 1 & Tier 2 countries) and their videos are typically long (around 10 mins). Accounting for the RPM boost that chats and KZbin Premium gives, I think saying they make around 3.0k USD per 1,000,000 views from KZbin alone isn't completely out of whack. So, given that KZbin Adsense contributes 26% to their revenue, we can make a rough estimation of LMG's yearly revenue. 3,000 / 1,000,000 = 0.003 USD per 1 video view. 1,560,000,000 * 0.003 = 4,680,000 USD from KZbin Adsense alone. 4,680,000 / 0.26 = 18,000,000 USD in yearly revenue. Assuming my estimates were somehow within 10% of the actual number (given the rough nature of these calculations), we get a range of 16.2 to 19.8 million USD annually. Personally, I've got a hunch it's closer to the 17 million USD mark. TLDR: Roughly around 18,000,000 USD in yearly revenue.

If his revenue was indeed $18 million he'll be rocking some serious hardware and forking out a lot more on equipment. $6 million / .30 of actual profit before tax = $2 million before tax and by what he was saying he can indeed earn another million for his "family" by the end 2021 if he keeps on growing his company. $6 million to $7 million in revenue growth by the end of 2021. Linus did do a pretty good job of telling approximately of what his company mates in a given year so good on him for that!

Actually, if Linus could drop things at a rate of 10 things per second (the theoretical limit for someone his age, I could go much faster since I workout) and did so all day every day, he would be making roughly 100$ per second. In a day, that's $8640000 . In a week, that's $60480000 . In a 30 day month, that's $259200000 . In a year, that's $3153600000 . Jeff Bezos's current net worth is $175300000000. Therefore, if Linus dropped things at that rate for every day (now ~ 80 yrs), he would make a total of $145065600000 If Jeff Bezos's net worth remains the same he will have much more money than Linus, making Linus look poor. Hence, your comment is wrong and you should delete it immediately, to avoid humiliation. Thank you for coming to my T.E.D. talk.

I'm just pointing out that while Linus did not give his salary, he's shown enough of his lifestyle to indicate that he does not take home nearly as much as someone that has worked as hard and struggled as much as he has would easily be entitled to. I've always trusted LTT as a source because at the end of the day I don't believe Linus or most of the main cast could be bought off. They hold very important jobs, but I genuinely believe they are just kids running around a toy store of their own making and no amount of money could take that from them.

Linus said they are running at rate of about billion views for 2020, so that is $3,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00 in KZbin revenue alone. Linus showed that KZbin brought 26% of revenues, so that means the total revenue is between $11,500,000.00 and $38,500,000.00. Even assuming very generous pay for the 30 employees, assuming he pays rather expensive rent, and other costs he isn't spending over $5,000,000.00, so the profit ends up in the $6,000,000.00 to $33,000,000.00 range depending on what KZbin actually pays, but tech content leans toward the higher end of the payscale. Scale down for previous years as they had less views then for what they earned before. So conservatively he is worth somewhere in eight figures, certainly not in nine or ten, but more than "mere" millionaires with just seven figures. Not counting the worth of the channel, since he could only realize that by selling it, which he said he won't do.

Taking the number of views showed that The LTT main channel has had in 2020 (826,000,000) So calculating that on the low end ($3 per thousand views) brings it roughly to $2.478M Since KZbin makes up 26% of their annual income we can multiply our final answer to get the final amount bringing us to a whopping $9.515M total annual income However, calculating it more on the high end of RPM ($5 per thousand views) we end up with a much different number So taking the 826M channel views in 2020, and finding the amount that's worth at a $5RPM brings us to $4.13M However, that's only 26% of their income so far so the total income will bring us to $15.859M So LTT as off October 2020 Has made between $9.515M to $15.859M Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

I’m pulling this number completely out of thin air, but judging the house Linus lives in, the technology he are keeps in it, and the upgrades hes made to it. I’m willing to guess he takes home around 135k USD a year. From what I’ve learned about Linus after watching since 2015, is that at the end of the day, hes humble. He’s put ALOT more money into building his business than into his personal life. He cares more about his company, his employees, and the quality of his content than his own pay. Thank you for being such a good man, Linus. :)

I had to take you up on the challenge. I don't know your 2020 viewer numbers, but I do know that your 2022 viewer numbers were around 800m. Assuming your views were around 500m at $11 cpm (views is probably higher, CPM is probably lower) that'd put you at about $5.5m in YT revenue. Since that's ~26% of your annual revenue, the multiplier to get to your annual revenue is 3.846153846. That would put us at an annual revenue of about $21,153,846 but since this is an estimate, I'll say around $20m and probably between $18m and $22m. This doesn't include expenses and I'm estimating your expense ratio at roughly 80%. That puts your profitability at roughly $3.6m to $4.4m per year. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if your take home is between $500k to $1m. You don't seem like the greedy type (but I could be wrong, I only know you through your channel persona and I don't know you personally) but we'll split the difference and I'll estimate your take home income at $750k. That would leave the company with $3m in the bank. It also means you'd make about $2/subscriber/year which I don't think is an unreasonable estimate, either (total subs at the time was 11.8m).

On Wan show linus said one of his goals at LTT was that all employees would be able to own a home off of what they make at LTT and that he was very happy because pretty much everyone except luke had homes at that point. Luke was still renting but now he has bought a house. Many LTT members drive Tesla's and bmw's aswell so I'd assume they are paid quite well. Sure new employees might not of purchased a home at this point but as long as theres a possible path to do so I'd say thats awesome. Also they are based out of Vancouver which has extremely expensive housing so to own a home takes some serious money.
@garywatersjr89594 жыл бұрын
In all fairness, his employees should all be well compensated. Most of the jobs performed are what is known as "skilled positions". Meaning that most would have an educational background in their respective field. Most skilled positions have higher pay rates. Now, in America at least, this doesn't always translate well and we see a lot of underpaid skilled workers. I believe that should be changed as to encourage people to seek higher education as a means to better there fiscal life's. With the caveat that they actually enjoy their chosen career.

I did the calculations on the actual amount LMG makes per year as an estimate and got $7,692,300. I based it off the 26% KZbin Adsense and as Linus said they were on track for 1 billion views. At a very reasonable price of $2 per 1000 video views, this equals to $2M, and as per the pie chart, this is 26% of total income. You then divide the $2M by 26 which gives you 1% ($76,923). Then multiply this by 100 which gives you the total income for Linus Media Group is $7,692,300. Please note this is just an estimation and they have a huge amount of expenses such as staff salaries, multiple RED Cameras, the studio, sets and a huge amount of other equipment.
