The calculations were made using a dedicated tool a tool created by Sellfy that considers the minimum and maximum monthly revenue the YouTuber could make through advertisements and merchandise to reach the results.
The analysis points out that the influencer made the most in September when he raked in $9,148,005.50 (a large part of which was driven by Minecraft content on his channel) whereas his slowest month was November when he reportedly earned $3,878,603.
