He has been getting millions of views every years since about 2015 though. Let's not forget that not only the new views give him money, but also the views to his old videos. And with all the videos he has up, it will still give him a good amount of money.SystemDownload wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2019 2:04 pmEstimated 16 million.
And just to mention, he didn't make just 16 million, bare in mind all that money is being split between paying his staff eg: Robin and also paying his tour crew after he toured everywhere. I highly doubt it made that much money in return seeing as he has been selling off all the old stock recently.
Plus he has rent, buying games and new equipment. Buying different merchandise and clothing. Plus whatever amount he sunk into the Cloak brand as a start up revenue. Plus booking flights for gabs to come to his home, plus sending her back. Plus he had to fly out to collect her, fly her back to brighton so they could both fly out to japan together. Which lts be honest, Japan isn't cheap. Plus hotel booking, buying food and supplies....
Then you also have buying gifts, his own groceries....
Like you can say that "16 million" (I highly doubt he made that considering his views, I think around 11-13 million tops. Since it goes through his youtube network too since they get a cut of his earnings.), but considering his lifestyle at the moment and previously, he'll be burning through that money fast.
So I'm 50% sure he has money issues, however its an assumption.
Jack is a millionaire. Even if he only made... lets say 5 million last year. Do you really think that all cost him the other millions he collected over the past years? Not to mention that often the huge gaming youtubers don't even have to pay for most games or even equipment (e.g. his PC was given to him by Origin PC for free, the same brand that regularly also sponsors Felix.)
Of course all he is spending is adding up - but not so much that he easily has lost most of his money. I'm not sure how much he invested in cloak, but I don't think it was that much either.
(He also bought the house, on twitter he said he was the proud owner of a house, so he doesn't have rent either).
Let's compare him to Felix for example who was estimated to have made less money than both Jack or Mark in the last two years. Felix owns 10 houses (he talked about it with his editor Brad in a livestream in 2017), goes on vacation about every one to two months, at least once a year to Japan for a month, and buys almost exclusively expensive clothing brands.
So I really think Jack is fine - for now at least.
EDIT: I do think though, that he is getting insecure. Seeing your numbers going down must have an effect on you. I just wish he'd be open about it and listen to his fans (and not the crazy stans) to hear about what people actually want to see from him instead of just pushing his old fans away just because they dare to criticize him.
