As one can imagine, most of Rhett’s wealth comes from his YouTube channels. The network currently contains four channels:

  • Rhett And Link – Their original channel, on which they post their songs, skits, and commercials. The channel has been running since 2006 and currently has 4.4 million subscribers.
  • Good Mythical Morning – GMM is the duo’s popular daily talk show, on which they talk about interesting everyday events that are happening in their lives. The show has been going on since 2008, and currently has close to 13 million subscribers.
  • Good Mythical More – When GMM became a huge hit with the fans, the duo started GMMore, a channel for the extra stuff that didn’t make it to the main show. GMMore was started in 2013 and currently has 3 million subscribers.
  • This Is Mythical – A channel started by the rest of the Mythical crew, This Is Mythical includes various experiments, challenges, and sketches. The series started just last year and has 600,000 subscribers at the time of writing.

Combined, the Mythical Entertainment YouTube network rakes in millions of views each day, making Rhett a significant amount of money through advertising alone. Combined with sponsorships, YouTube certainly is McLaughlin’s highest-earning business.

Film & Television

The duo also produced and hosted a handful of TV Shows, such as Online Nation, Looking for Ms. Locklear, and Rhett and Link’s Buddy System, among others. They are also frequent guests on talk shows hosted by the likes of Conan and Jimmy Fallon. His work as a producer, actor, and singer on televised content surely made Rhett huge amounts of money.

Podcasts

Books

Not as popular as the other categories, but still worth mentioning is the duo’s recent book. The book was released in October 2017 and immediately made it to The New York Times Best Seller List in its category.
