Richest YouTubers 2021

You can make a lot of money through YouTube. Of course, it’s not easy to become a YouTube millionaire. For every one out there are thousands, maybe millions, of YouTubers who make little to nothing on their accounts. However, if you want to get rich on YouTube, then sometimes it can help to look at those who do succeed. After all, watching how those accounts make money can give you ideas of your own. So who are the richest YouTubers of 2021?

What Does It Mean to Be The Richest YouTubers in 2021?

We scoured the Internet for information about the richest YouTubers in 2021. Using information published online between February 2021 and early July 2021, we discovered that there are a range of different rankings for Richest YouTubers 2021. Although most of the lists have similarities, they definitely aren’t all the same. So, what accounts for the differences?

Well, there are lots of different reasons that one list might differ from another. But the two main ones are that it depends a lot on what you’re factoring in to consider someone among the Richest YouTubers 2021. Some lists look specifically at the person’s net worth. Others look at the annual income generated from the income. Plus sometimes you have outliers like a list that might include someone who earned the most for a single video. So, no list is all-inclusive / definitive.

Moreover, most lists only include people who make a majority of their income from YouTube itself. Or at the very least, a large portion of it. However, some lists include people of high net worth who only have YouTube as a small side income. For example, John Green is best known for authoring “The Fault in Our Stars.” However, only a tiny portion of his $17 million net worth comes from YouTube.

With all that said – after comparing and contrasting 5 top lists, we’ve come up with what we think is the best list of Richest YouTubers 2021. The lists we compared came from: Wondershare Filmora, CommonCentsMom, Gulf News, Slice, and Pressfarm.

40 Richest YouTubers 2021 by Net Worth

Combining the information from all of those lists, we came up with a list of the 40 richest YouTubers by net worth.

Figuring Out a YouTuber’s Net Worth Isn’t Always Simple

Sometimes all sources agreed on a person’s net worth. For example, everyone lists Jeffree Star as having a net worth of $200 million. Similarly, multiple sources agree that Ninja has a net worth of $25 million.

In other cases, there are tiny discrepancies. For example, sources sometimes list Jake Paul at $19 million but other times as $20 million. In a few instances, there are huge discrepancies. For example, Dude Perfect’s range is from $30 – $50 million although most sources will shoot for the middle and say $40 million. And then consider DanDTM; most sources say his net worth is between 35 – 40 million. However, Slice lists it as just $18.5 million. This is in spite of the fact that Slice’s numbers are comparable to other sources on many other of the Richest YouTubers in 2021.

Vera Farmiga's Net Worth

Vera Farmiga is a beautiful actress who has appeared in a diverse range of television and movie roles. She began her acting career on the stage. When she moved to the screen, she placed particular emphasis on working in independent films. Her Rotten Tomatoes bio expresses that the actress spent over a decade committed to playing nuanced, complex, interesting characters. While that doesn’t always lead to monetary success, Vera Farmiga had some breakout roles that really garnered her attention (as well as income.) So what exactly is Vera Farmiga’s net worth today?

Who is Vera Farmiga? Personal Life.

Vera Farmiga has an interesting back story. According to her IMDB profile, she was born in New Jersey in 1973. Her Ukrainian parents didn’t speak English at home. They also lived in a Ukrainian neighborhood. Therefore, Vera herself didn’t speak English until age 6.

Her mother was a teacher, and her father was a computer systems analyst. They enjoyed keeping their Ukrainian culture alive and rich in their home. In fact, some of Vera’s earliest performances were playing piano and folk dancing as a teenager through a Ukrainian touring company. Fun fact, though, her mother was raised in the United States and her father was raised in Argentina. In fact, Vera’s father was a soccer player scouted for an Argentinian team at one point in his young life.

Acting Sisters: Taissa Farmiga

Vera is the second oldest of seven children. Her sister Taissa Farmiga is more than two decades younger than Vera. She’s also an actress. In fact, she’s only an actress because Vera eventually also got into directing, and she convinced her little sis to star in one of her films.

Taissa was 15 in 2011 when Vera cast herself as the lead in “Higher Ground,” which was her directorial debut film. She wanted someone who looked like her to play the younger version of her as the lead. Who better to ask than her sister? Taissa’s role was well-received at Sundance. Therefore, she decided to go into acting as well.

Fun Fact: Their cousin, Adriana Farmiga, is an artist who also helped on “Higher Ground.”

Two years later, Vera played Taissa’s mother in “At Middleton.”

Vera Farmiga: Marriages, Divorces, and Children

According to her IMDB profile, Vera Farmiga fell in love with actor Sebastian Roche when they met during the production of “Roar” in the late 1990s. Before the show had come to an end, the couple had married. The marriage lasted about seven years. They divorced in 2004.

Four years later, she married Renn Hawkey, who is a musician. They have two children together, a son and a daughter, born about a year apart shortly after the marriage. The family lives together in the Hudson River Valley region of New York State.

Pets, Hobbies, and Fun Facts

According to her IMDB profile, Vera has pet Angora goats that she enjoys spending time with. They shear the goats’ wool and she uses it to knit. Vera stays fit through jujitsu and Muay Thai boxing. Just like when she was a child, she still plays piano. Vera is also an avid reader. So, despite her fame as an actress, she really enjoys a lot of downtimes relaxing with her family and pets.

Who is Vera Farmiga? Professional Life.

As aforementioned, Vera Farmiga started out as a stage actress. She attending the Syracuse University School of Performing Arts. In fact, she graduated with an acting degree in 1005. She spent the next couple of years performing on and off-Broadway.

In 1997, she moved to the screen — the little screen that is. This was when she made her television female lead debut in “Roar.” As you may recall, this was where she met her first husband, Sebastian Roché. However, the male lead acting across from her in that show was Heath Ledger. Farmiga was well-received in that role and other opportunities kept coming her way.

  • She played a great supporting role in “15 Minutes” in 2001.
  • “Down to the Bone” (2004) garnered her a Best Actress Sundance award. This is her highest-rated film on Rotten Tomatoes.
  • That same year, she also appeared in “The Manchurian Candidate.”

In particular, 2006 was a busy year for Vera’s movie career. She was in “Running Scared,” “Breaking and Entering,” and “The Departed.”

In 2009, she performed in “Up in the Air.” In fact, she received an Academy Award nomination for that performance.

Fun fact: Vera’s son was just two months old when she returned to work on “Up in the Air.” She used a body double for the nude scenes because she wasn’t comfortable with her post-pregnant body. However, she has done nude scenes herself in other films.

Then, as you know, in 2011, she performed as the lead in her own directorial debut of “Higher Ground.” That’s the one in which her sister played the younger version of the lead, launching her own acting career. Another fun fact: she was five months pregnant with her daughter when she completed filming of “Higher Ground.”

Additionally, in 2015 he received The GEANCO Foundation’s Global Promise Award. This award recognizes the actor’s Nigerian charity work.

In 2020 he was nominated for an Outstanding Narrator award at the Emmy’s for the documentary “The Elephant Queen.”

Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Personal Life

His original given name is Chiwetelu Umeadi Ejiofor. He was born in Forest Gate, London on July 10, 1977. His parents were both medical professionals from Nigeria. They are from the Igbo culture of Nigeria but their region collapsed due to the Biafran War so his parents ended up in London.

Chiwetel is the second of four siblings. His younger sister, Zain Asher is well-known as a CNN news correspondent. According to Answers Africa, his other sister followed in their parents’ footsteps and became a doctor.

When he was 11 years old, he was in a car accident that killed his father. Ejiofor still has scars on his forehead from that event. He spent two months in the hospital recovering. They had been visiting Nigeria at the time of the accident. However, his mother was at home in London — pregnant with one of his younger siblings.

He started acting on stage a couple of years later. Although acting has been his primary creative outlet, he also sang backup vocals in a band in his teens. As far as his education, he attended Dulwich College and then the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). However, he left the latter after the first year because that’s when he got “discovered” and went to make the film “Amistad.”

Dating and Marriage

Chiwetel Ejiofor is not married. He’s been linked to several prominent women over the years. He dated British actress Naomie Harris for about seven years. Like him, she’s named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. They split up in 2007.

Five years later, Ejiofor was rumored to be dating his “12 Years a Slave” co-star Lupita Nyong’o. However, that’s never been confirmed or denied. The following year, he was romantically linked with Canadian actress Sari Mercer, but only for a brief period of time.

In 2015, he began dating Australian model Frances Aaternir.

Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Net Worth

It’s always hard to pinpoint a celebrity’s exact net worth. Many records are kept hidden from the public. However, we’ve done some digging, and here’s what we’ve come up with.

Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Income

Ejiofor earns his income as an actor. He’s been in some very high-grossing films: “12 Years a Slave” grossed $187.7 million, “2012” was $769.7 million, and “The Lion King” remake grossed over half a million dollars in the Americas but over one billion dollars internationally.

He also does endorsements, invests in stocks, and earns money from his writing and directing.

Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Assets

Ejiofor used to live on a houseboat. He thought he would save money that way. However, it needed so much repair that it wasn’t really a valuable asset.

Ejiofor lives in a house in London now, near Exmouth Market. Although we don’t know the exact value of his house, Zoopla  provides us with some average pricing for houses in this area:

  • Average property: £904,743 or about $1,261,285
  • Average price of flat: £788,518 or about $1,099,258
  • Terraced house average price: £1,553,609 or about $2,165,857

Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Net Worth

By all reports online, Chiwetel Ejiofor’s net worth is estimated at $12 million. According to Taddlr, the actor was worth about $8 million around the time that he was dating Sari Mercer. His net worth has grown another $4 million as of 2021 according to reports by The Richest and CelebrityNetWorth.

For what it’s worth, MediaMass claims that he is the highest-paid actor in the world, garnering nearly $100 million so far this year. It cites his net worth as $275 million. This seems far-fetched; the $12 million number is far more consistent and likely to be the truth). However, it does suggest that his star is on the rise. With his recent and upcoming writing, directing, and acting credits, his net worth is poised to continue growing.
