$26m fortune sets eight-year-old Ryan Kaji as YouTube’s highest-earning star
Eight-year-old Ryan Kaji has topped the list of YouTube earners for the second year in a row, making $26million (£19million) in the year 2019.

The figures are based on estimated earnings between June 2018 and June 2019.
Because he is a minor, Kaji’s parents have previously said most of the money he makes is being held in a fund to be put towards his college education.
