"Ryan ToysReview", a 7-year-old leads YouTube's highest-paid list with $22 million

Ryan is not your average seven-year-old — he earned an estimated $22 million (around €19.2 million) in a year, according to Forbes' list of Highest-Paid YouTube Stars 2018.
Since launching the wholesome channel, "Ryan ToysReview" in 2015, Ryan now has over 17 million subscribers and raked in an estimated $22 million in just 12 months!
True to his handle, this seven-year-old toy expert has a thriving channel (nearly 26 billion views on his videos!) that shows him reviewing toys and games from different makers, playing with his mom and dad, and performing a few fun “challenges” to mix it up.
The estimated figures — for the year to June 2018 — given by Forbes were before tax and fees for agents, managers and lawyers.

Despite Ryan's videos getting millions of daily views, just $1 million of the total came from advertising shown before videos, according to Forbes, with most of his revenue coming from sponsored posts. He also has a line of collectables on sale at Walmart, including eggs and "squishies" (soft plastic toys).
What are the seven-year-old's plans for later on in his already booming career? "I want to be a game developer," he said.
