Okay, here’s my attempt at documenting my deep dive into Michael Reeves’ net worth, written in that casual, personal-blogger style:
So, I got sucked into a YouTube rabbit hole the other day (as one does), and it ended with me watching a bunch of Michael Reeves videos. You know, the guy who builds those crazy robots that swear and tase people? Hilarious stuff. But it got me thinking: how much is this guy actually worth?
I started with a simple search. Just typed in “michael reeves net worth” and hit enter. Right away, a bunch of those websites that estimate celebrity net worth popped up.
I’m always a bit skeptical of those sites, to be honest. It’s like, where are they even getting this information? But, hey, it’s a starting point.
I clicked through a few of them, and they all seemed to hover around the same general ballpark figure.
Digging a Little Deeper
Seeing those numbers just made me more curious. I mean, he’s a YouTuber, primarily, right? So, I started thinking about his income streams.
- YouTube Ad Revenue: This is probably a big one. He gets millions of views on his videos. I’m no expert on YouTube monetization, but I know that those views translate to dollars.
- Sponsorships: He’s done sponsored content with some pretty big companies. I figure those deals must pay pretty well.
- Merchandise: He sells merch, like t-shirts and stuff. I doubt it’s a huge part of his income, but it all adds up.
- Offline TV: He’s started to appear in Offline TV content which is going to boost him a lot.
I spent a good chunk of time just browsing through his YouTube channel, looking at view counts, checking out his sponsor mentions, and browsing his merch store. I even tried to find some older articles or interviews where he might have talked about his income, but no luck there.
I even went down a bit of a rabbit hole researching average CPMs (cost per mille, or cost per thousand views) for YouTube. It’s a whole world in itself, with rates varying wildly depending on audience demographics, watch time, and a bunch of other factors. It’s all pretty complicated, and frankly, a bit over my head.
My (Very Rough) Conclusion
I’ve spent a good amount of time investgating this guy.
Honestly, I’m no financial analyst. It’s tough to put an exact number on it. Based on the ranges on those net worth websites, and taking into account his various income streams, I’d say it’s a safe bet that Michael Reeves is doing pretty well for himself. I am never going to be as rich as him.
It’s all just educated guesswork, though. Unless he decides to publicly share his financial details (which he probably won’t), we’ll never know the exact number. But hey, it was a fun little investigation!
