She might have last year but this year, most YTers are reporting lower income, mostly with lower cpms. Amber has been complaining about it earlier this year. Using NoxInfluencer and using a cpm of 3, she is now making about $76,000 per year, but YT takes 45%, so in reality, her gross yearly income is about $42,000. If she pays 15% tax (?), her monthly income is approximately $3,000. Not bad for someone putting no effort in her work, but not enough to live in the lap of luxury. She is probably spending her savings to maintain her purchases, but unless something changes, she will not be able to do it for long.
