However, we estimate that Ryan Higa’s net worth is around $6 million, most of which came from YouTube revenue. Speaking of revenue, let’s take a look at how does one go about making millions off YouTube:

How Did Nigahiga Make His Money & Wealth?

Early Life

Ryan was born on June 6th, 1990 in Hilo, Hawaii, where he would also grow up. He started practicing judo, together with his older brother Kyle, when he was five years old. During middle school, he managed to achieve great results at a placement test, which caused him to skip a grade, which in turn made him a target for bullies. He managed to fend off the bullies by making them laugh (!), and by doing that found his passion for making people laugh. Shortly after, Ryan started making funny skits for his family to watch on Sundays. Finally, in high school, Higa started wrestling, which turned his life around, as he says. This is where he met Sean Fujiyoshi, with whom he went on to start the Nigahiga YouTube channel.

YouTube Career

In 2006, while still in high school, Ryan started uploading his comedy skits to YouTube, so he wouldn’t have to bring a physical copy of the video to his family. His videos started to gain traction thanks to both the content and the novelty of YouTube. The channel started to hit it big once he started his ‘How To’ video series, which included videos such as ‘How To Be A Ninja’, which currently has 50 million views and ‘How to be Emo’, which currently counts 37 million views. After some controversies later that year, his earliest videos, which were those of him and Sean lipsyncing to popular songs, were removed. From then on, Ryan started to compose his own music and turned his focus towards creating more skits, instead of covers.

During mid-2009, he became the second YouTuber who crossed the one million subscribers count, beaten only by the now forgotten Fred. A year after, he managed to up his count by another million, and from there, the subscribers started pouring in even faster. By 2012, when he started his production company, he had close to 6 million subscribers, and held the title of the most subscribed YouTube channel for over 2 years!

Unlike many of his peers such as Fred or Ray William Johnson, Ryan managed to stay relevant up to this day. His channel is the 41st most subscribed one at the moment, and he gains over half a million views on his videos each day. Ryan currently has over 20,000,000 subscribers on his main channel, and close to 5 million on his second channel, HigaTV.

With such numbers, he is, of course, able to rake in an enormous amount of money each month. Over the years, the amount has piled up, and Nigahiga’s estimated net worth grew to the whopping number of $6,000,000!
