Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese football icon, is making waves beyond the soccer field with his new YouTube channel, ‘UR – Cristiano.’ Launched recently, the channel has quickly become a sensation, breaking records in just one day. Known for his immense social media following, Ronaldo is now making a significant impact on YouTube as well. Even with most of his videos running around one minute, the channel surpassed 1 million subscribers faster than a typical football match.
So, how much could Ronaldo be earning from this latest venture?
In under two days, Ronaldo has uploaded 12 videos to his channel. While YouTube’s ideal video length is around 10 minutes, Ronaldo’s remarkable popularity ensures that even his short videos attract millions of views. Notably, three of his videos have already surpassed 20 million views each.
According to Thinkific research, YouTube channels can earn up to USD 6 per 1,000 views, translating to earnings between USD 1,200 to USD 6,000 per million views.
As of now, Ronaldo has accumulated over 100 million views. Considering his massive star power, advertising revenue, and sponsorships tied to his YouTube success, his earnings could already be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
