Simon Lane’s Net Worth 2018 – $1 Million
How did Simon Lane Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on March 14, 1978, Simon Lane was raised with his younger brother in England. Growing up, he dreamt of becoming an astronaut. Interestingly enough, however, he was advised to become an Insurance Actuary by a career advisor when he was in school. After graduating, he studied at Cardiff University in Wales.
Ultimately it was in 2008 that he ventured into the realm of Youtube. That year, he and his best friend decided to start a channel together called The Yogscast. From there, it wasn’t long before they became one of the most respected guides for World of Warcraft. Since their rise to fame, they’ve also expanded their channel to include the games Grand Theft Auto, Garry’s Mod, and Minecraft.
Currently, their most popular upload, Screw the Nether (Moves Like Jagger Parody) has generated over 43 million views. Some of their other top hits include Diggy Diggy Hole, Minecraft Parody- How Do I Craft This Again, and Minecraft: How to Survive the First Night, all of which have been viewed millions of times.
As of 2018, their gaming channel has gained over 7.3 million subscribers with more than 3.7 billion views. With those kinds of numbers, surely their earnings are nothing to scoff at? How profitable has The Yogcast been? Assuming that 40% of their total view count is monetized at a rate of $5 per 1,000 views, they would have already made over $7 million (before Youtube’s cut).
Given that their popularity continues to increase over the next little while, it wouldn’t be too surprising if their earnings were to also go up.
In addition to the Youtube channel, Simon and his friend have also founded YoGPoD, a popular podcast known for its hilarious banter and tales. A spin-off of their channel, it has received nothing but rave reviews since its launch in 2009. Considering that, it probably also yields the duo a fair amount of income.
