Influencer Evan Leealso known as Evantube and his family accumulated quite a few followers in the early days of YouTube – making a lot of money during their peak reputation.
According to The New York Times On Sunday, April 27, early YouTube creators could make money by following videos or part of their advertising revenues that are traded and sponsored by brands. For the Lee family, the web manufacturer studio helps Evan's father Jared Leeenhance YouTube's perspectives by generating ideas and sharing analytics. Maker will also provide brand partners for Evantube to generate multiple revenue streams.
Jared told the media that when they are most popular, families earn $1 million to $2 million a year.
Evan, 19, rose to stardom in October 2011 when his freelance photographer father created the homepage video of an Angry Birds video game made from imitation clay. The video ended up reaching 11 million views, and the rest is history. Evan's sister, Jillianalso began to appear in the video.
Jared claimed to the media that over the past few months, Evantube has received only $100,000 from Google ads.
When Evan was 9 in 2014, Evantube amassed 1 million subscribers. The following year, Evantube allowed families to establish family trusts, savings, 529 college funds and Coogan accounts, as well as Roth Iras already owned by Evan and Jillian. The family bought a $3 million six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home, according to the accountant’s instructions.
Evan, 19, reviewed his parents asking questions about money throughout their childhood, noting that if he wasn't working on YouTube, the family “may not be able to afford” private colleges.
Evan shared that he eventually “realized that we wouldn’t be able to make a lot of money unless my parents were involved.” He added: “A 10-year-old who has no idea that he can keep a successful YouTube channel, generate profits, work with the brand. But if I remove it from the equation, there will be no stars.”
Evan ended up with a stop at Evantube at the end of his high school career in June 2024, before attending college at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
“I've been so grateful for watching videos over the years,” he said. “I've got millions of dollars – or I don't know, millions – but your comments have a lot of comments, 'You're my childhood.' Thank you so much for watching all my videos.
