Meet Ryan Kaji, the 9 year old top earner on YouTube

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Just in case you wanted to hate your job a little bit more.

Meet the top earning YouTuber & he’s just 9 years old. 

Ryan’s World YouTube channel earned almost $30 million. Whoah! That's about P1.4 billion.

Ryan Kaji, who reviews toys on the said channel, has been named by Forbes as YouTube's top earner in 2020.

His channel has more than 12 billion views and it's his third consecutive year at the top. He made $22 million in 2019. 

He really continues to rake in record amounts of money, even topping his earnings from the past years to become the platform’s highest paid star for the third consecutive year.

He's made over $200 million from his branded toys and clothes, clinched deals with M&S, Nickelodeon,etc

This really blew me away.

And you think education is the key and not the key holder.

Our parents are nagging us for playing with toys and games all days. Maybe I would have become a millionaire by now too.

And I'm here, doing "...not pale, anicteric, acynosed, afebrile...."!!! 

Chai!!! This life no just pure at all!! I really need a change of career!!

Ryan’s power is his distribution - 43B channel views.

Where he monetizes 3 ways: 

    1. Consumer Retail & Licensing 

    2. Digital Licensing

    3. YouTube AdSense

1/ Consumer Retail & Licensing 

Ryan has over 1k products in 75k stores, including Target and Walmart. 

Sales are up 500% in 3 years. 

      2018: $42m

      2019: $150m

      2020: $250m 

2. Digital Licensing  

This is David’s next frontier - digital goods. 

In Dec, Ryan launched his own virtual world inside Roblox. 

Ryan’s World location will sell gems for digital goods. 

Owned Distribution

This is Ryan’s unfair advantage, he has $0 marketing costs. 

His channel is a free commercial driving kids in-store & into his digital world.

3. YouTube Ad Revenue

Ryan was the top earning YouTuber in 2019 & 2018. (2020 numbers haven’t been released) 

       2018: $22m

       2019: $26m

Together, Ryan is creating the modern entertainment franchise.

The most important thing is that ryan is a child and with all these stats behind him is never pressured to do anything! The brand comes from his love and passion for toys not forced content. 

Just a little note for anyone pushing their kids into the light.

Has Toni Gonzaga learned her lesson too!?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Toni Gonzaga: Russu was evicted because of a mistake he did...People are quick to judge him...He has learned his lesson and this will help him grow.

I applaud Toni Gonzaga's word of wisdom but I remember that she's an enabler and a DDS.

Eh ikaw, Toni? Have you grown? Kaya mo na bang magsalita laban sa pagpapasara ng ABS-CBN? O enabler ka pa rin?

What a perfect scenario: A PBB_DDS host ushering a certified DDS housemate out. Awkward?

Toni Gonzaga is apparently trending because of her words of wisdom but nah uh, she is a DDS, an enabler. So no amount of WOW's will be enough, unless she takes back her political stance, admits that she learned her lesson, and starts to use her influence to fight for the injustices.

Robi Domingo was hospitalized after the eviction due to severe backpain caused by carrying his co-host, Toni Gonzaga.

We have successful evicted a DDS housemate pero we cannot cancel the DDS host. How ironic pa na nasa ABS-CBN, one of the organizations na extremely targetted and persecuted by this admin’s tantrums, pa siya. Lmao.

LOL at Toni dahil affected siya kasi she’s projecting. She also wants the public to forgive her for being a Marcos/Duterte enabler. 

There is such a thing as accountability. Forgiveness and consequence of your actions do not go hand in hand.

Toni Gonzaga defending Russu in the same way Imee Marcos defends herself by saying “maliit pa ako” during Martial Law. She was 19 when she became the founding chairman of Kabataang Barangay. During her stint, Archimedes Trajano was brutally murdered. 

I heard that the Dutertes are family friends nina Toni Gonzaga and that's what makes it hard for her to comment against them. But again, being a Christian also means you shouldn't condone the wrongs being flagrantly committed specially by your friends.

I heard that she's a member of the United Methodist Church which since the time of its inception during the Industrial Revolution always stands up against all forms of injustice & political oppression. Methodists are consistently known in fighting against State repression & systemic injustice.

“Methodists are consistently known in fighting against state repression and systemic injustice...except Toni Gonzaga.”

Robi Domingo: DDS Russu is just a "Victim of the Broken System"

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Robi Domingo on PBB Housmate Russu Laurente admitting his participation to #YesToABSCBNShutdown 

"We can forgive, but we will not forget." Eto yung tinig ng mga nawalan." 

Also as what the wise Robi Domingo just stated amidst the controversies regarding the ABS-CBN shutdown: Si Russu ay biktima lamang ng broken system - referring to this government.

I agree with Robi, hindi kaaway ang tulad ni Russu, he was just another victim of another misinformation.

And yet we live in this system everyday and not clamor about it.

The real fight is outside and is far from over. 

We have to be accepting & forgiving to those who were misinformed.  Look at how this administration manipulates facts that they can even justify smuggling. 

Let's educate, inform and fight fake news. But never forget.

The words of Russu's brother are very sincere. And Robi was not prepared for this one. There was no script for this one. 

Nothing but respect for Robi Domingo. That’s how you respond to a conflicting view. Sana nga lang he said that on the day #YesToABSCBNShutDown issue of Russu ang pinag-uusapan nila ni Bianca. But no he acted like Russu is the enemy. Kahit ano pa paliwanag gawin ni Robi the damage has been done. 

We give all our uwu's and appreciation to Robi Domingo. That eviction was a difficult one, but he still handled it professionally. Kudos! One of the finest TV hosts of today. 

While Robi was talking about the broken system, I wonder how Toni Gonzaga felt being a DDS. 

Shuta ang bait ni Toni at Robi, they hug Russu genuinely after their closing spiel. Salute! 

Yung agad-agad niyakap ni Toni G. si Russu kasi alam niya na sobrang bigat na dala-dala na pasanin ni Russu. 

Kung sa akin, we wouldn't know until a lot of time has passed and Russu be able to show if he really meant whatever he said, if he really learned, or if it was all just a  show.

So many people from Davao and Mindanao are like Russu who is defending people, flesh and blood, instead of defending principles and righteousness. That sucks! Unless all of them show me they have learned, I would still be sus of them, and of Russu...

Anyway I can see naman Russu as portraying kontrabida roles paglabas. Hindi sya kukunin ni Direk Lauren Dyogi kung hindi sya nakitaan ng talent or charisma.

So far, this is one of the most unforgettable and tensed eviction night that ever happened sa Bahay ni Kuya. I feel sad for Russu, but as Robi said, Russu is just a victim of the system. And my heart is aslo touched when Russu's brother said 'sorry' to Robi.
