Nobody knows the exact number but it's enough to employ LMG... just.

But it's worth asking. Why does he even need donations?

Enough to buy a Lambo :P

 

Seriously though, nobody really knows, but he did say in a WAN show that 20 hours of work would cost him about $500, so it's more than $600/ day if I haven't mucked up and forgotten something

 

Edit: 600/day is just how much he'd earn, but he has to pay like 6 people

*If I say something that seems offensive, please don't take it seriously, it was most likely meant as a joke/sarcastically*

He isn't allowed to say anything to do with google ads, But that, which he has said before today is only a small fee, and the sponsoring, as well as the "premium" membership and T-Shirts on the forum is enough for him to employ people and support a family. That's probably the best answer you'll get, unless he was to openly say what he earns.

He earns much, but he spends even more. Probably not getting rich too fast. Judging from how he drools about Tesla Model S he probably can't afford that.

I just think that it isn't ethical to ask how much one earns. At least where I live it is like that.

I once had one of these, now I've got this.

The only way you could know for sure is to ask.

 

However, he is not allowed to disclose sponsorship money or youtube money, so yeah.

nobody knows the answer. I'd be shocked if many people knew what their parents make, let alone somebody they have never met.

He buys all my black magic.

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

A lot of tubers have a way of donating to them. It's just something to support them and help them expand.

He earns enough to sustain LMG and earn a decent living, I think that's about all we need to know.
