Forbes magazine has just unveiled the top 10 of the highest-paid YouTubers in the world in 2019. At the age of 8, he takes the lead for the second consecutive year. With $26 million made from his Ryan World YouTube channel, Ryan Kaji is doing even better than last year.

Two of the first three places are occupied by young people under the age of 10.
