Cristiano Ronaldo breaks internet record after launching his YouTube channel
Cristiano Ronaldo officially unveiled his YouTube channel and it took him just one hour to hit 1 million subscribers, breaking internet records.
48M plus to be exact! However, estimating exactly how much he makes from YouTube can be tricky because it depends on several factors, including ad revenue, sponsorship deals and the type of content he posts.
But by ad revenue alone with Google's percentage already excluded he has already made almost 2 million dollars in ads alone, ($1.8M+) from twenty-one videos which is mind-boggling.
YouTube ad revenue is based on the number of views and the type of ads shown. On average, YouTubers can earn between $2 and $12 per 1,000 views, depending on their content and audience demographics.

Victor Wanyama benched as CF Montreal suffer home embarrassment
Victor Wanyama watched proceedings from the bench as his club CF Montreal suffered one of their biggest home losses in what is a setback to their MLS playoff hopes.
Given Ronaldo's global appeal and his millions of views per video, his earnings from YouTube ads alone are already substantial, though likely not his primary income source in the long run.
While Ronaldo's YouTube income is a small fraction of his overall earnings, it still represents a significant amount for most of us. His record breaking channel not only provides him with a steady stream of income but also reinforces his global brand and allows him to connect with millions of fans around the world.
And who knows, he could quite possibly beat another record by being the highest earner on the streaming giant that is YouTube. And he could indeed also beat another record by overtaking Mr. Beast and being the most subscribed channel globally. Only time will tell.
