And now, most of the YouTubers in the biz are even crossing over into the mainstream, as YouTube is becoming more prevalent in the news.

Popular YouTube stars have become more prominent in the media landscape due to their accomplishments or scandals. However, there’s still debate on the popularity of the most successful YouTubers. Who is more popular? We’ve tried to rank these famous YouTube Stars for you.

30. Fine Bros Entertainment

Fine Bros Entertainment, aka FBE, was initially established by Benny and Rafi Fine, both content makers and media innovators. The company produces a variety of subject matters, the React series, storytelling web series, and a “transmedia” comedy series called MyMusic. FBE began making content around the year 2004 and took the opportunity to reach new viewers once they launched their channel in 2007.

They’re among the few businesses on YouTube with over 10 million subscribers spread throughout two channels. They currently have more than 50 million subscribers throughout all platforms, and their online content has gained over 15 billion views.

29. Ryan Kaji

Ryan’s World, previously known as Ryan ToysReview, is a kid’s YouTube channel centered on Ryan Kaji and his parents. The channel has been described as a combination of personal vlogs and toy unwrapping videos. Although the channel appears to embrace excessive consumer culture, it also incorporates innocent children’s shenanigans to create a friendly atmosphere for its audience.

As per Forbes, the channel managed to earn $11 million during the 2016-17 period and was the 8th top paid Content creator on YouTube. Ryan Kaji’s YouTube channel has over 30 million subscribers and almost 45 billion views as of now.

28. Paul Brothers

The Paul brothers were in scandals all through their careers. Since both brothers began their social media career paths on Vine, Jake Paul accumulated over five million followers before Vine eventually died out. At the same time, Logan was listed as the tenth most powerful social media personality.

However, the duo has gotten quite a bad rep on platforms due to controversies, and several have branded them as wannabes and attention-seekers. Despite the criticism and negative press, the two brothers have amassed an accumulative fan base of 43 million and continue to break records.

27. Lilly Singh

Lilly Singh began her career in YouTube around the year 2010. According to Forbes, she became the tenth highest-paid YouTuber in the world by 2017. She, however, has launched her first documentary film, showing her promotional tour. Lilly has also published her first book, making it number one on the New York Times best-seller list. So, she has become much more than a YouTuber with all the success and opportunities coming her way.

Singh went by her real name, Lilly Singh, instead of her previous screen name, “Superwoman,” on her YouTube channel in 2019. She has already accumulated an audience of around 18 million both through her main and vlog channels at this point.
