Forget about grown-ups, kids dominated YouTube in 2019—and we don’t mean by watching!

Forbes recently released it’s highest-paid YouTube stars of 2019 list and eight-year-old Ryan Kaji was at the top. Kaji, who is more than well-known for his unboxing videos on Ryan’s World, has 23 million subscribers and earned a whopping $26 million.

Along with the eight-year-old, five-year-old Anastasia Radzinskaya was also a top earner. The Russian-born YouTuber, who has cerebral palsy, has gained a worldwide following with more than 107 million subscribers across seven channels, including her super-popular Like Nastya channel. Most of the little girl’s videos are literally child’s play. The five-year-old has playdates with her dad Yuri, jumps on an inflatable castle, visits a petting zoo and pretty much does what your kiddo enjoys on a daily basis.

As number three on Forbes’ highest-earner list, Radzinskaya brought in an impressive $18 million in 2019!
