It comes as no surprise, but YouTube fame and fortune are certainly for the young, relatable, and outrageous. A versatile video platform, YouTube has almost replaced television in terms of media influence and content; today it represents the cutting edge of influencer culture, youth trends, and social capital. From fake drama kings, gamers, vloggers, and streamers, to a 7-year-old toy reviewer, these are the highest-paid YouTubers today.

This list was compiled by Forbes based on creators’ earnings from June 1, 2017 to June 1, 2018.

10. Logan Paul – $14.5 million

Vlogger Logan Paul tumbled from YouTube’s fourth largest earner to tenth due to an ill-advised video he filmed in Japan’s infamous Aokigahara suicide forest. As a result, the 23-year-old was dropped from YouTube’s Google Preferred list impacting his ad revenue but not his subscribers. Paul has 15.6 million followers.

9. PewDiePie – $15.5 million

Arguably the most recognizable YouTuber ever, Felix Kjellberg aka PewDiePie may have the most subscribers with more than 92 million subs, but at number nine is still not the highest earning. YouTube does not seem to have a shortage of controversial figures and Kjellberg is no exception. The video game commenter has been accused of racist and anti-Semitic content which led him to be dropped by Disney and YouTube on a joint series in 2017.

Advice for would-be-YouTubers: avoid the edgy jokes.

5. Jeffree Starr – $18 million
