9. Mister V – €7 Million
Comedian, rapper and entrepreneur, Mister V (Yvick Letexier) is a true jack-of-all-trades on the web.

The result: an estimated fortune of around €7 million. Mister V earns by making people laugh on YouTube and by making them dance on Spotify.

He has also lent his image to advertising campaigns and made cinema appearances – you may have spotted him in the film Taxi 5.

He can boast of having turned his jokes into gold bars… and no doubt drives a beautiful car while listening to his own hits to celebrate!
8. Inoxtag – €8 Million
At just 22 years old, Inoxtag (Inès Benazzouz) sees his fortune reach new heights, literally. This young YouTuber, a companion of Michou, has accumulated around €8 million in assets. Propelled by his wild Minecraft and Fortnite videos, Inoxtag stepped things up with insane challenges, like climbing Everest in 2023!

Between his YouTube revenue, his sponsored streams and even a few music tracks, he monetises every view and every click. His recent Everest expedition, followed by millions of fans, earned him a shower of sponsors. Safe to say he knows a thing or two about mountains: he climbs them and earns banknotes from them! Joking aside, Inoxtag proves that the new generation can very quickly catch up with the veterans in terms of YouTube wealth.
7. Norman Thavaud – €9 Million
Known for his famous catchphrase “Norman fait des vidéos” (Norman makes videos), Norman Thavaud has also made… a tidy pile. His fortune is estimated at around €9 million. A pioneer of YouTube comedy in France with cult sketches about everyday life, he built an enormous audience (over 12 million subscribers at his peak). Thanks to ad revenue from his viral videos, TV and film appearances, and advertising contracts, Norman has raked in millions.

He also lent his voice and face to productions, adding lucrative strings to his bow. Despite a few recent setbacks off the web, his wallet remains well-stocked. The “godfather of French YouTube” proved you can become a millionaire by chronicling your life… at least when you have Norman’s talent and self-deprecating humour!
6. Amixem – €10 Million
Travelling to the four corners of the world, XL challenges and gadgets of all kinds: Amixem (Maxime Chabroud) never shies away from an idea… nor from the euros that come with it. His fortune is estimated at around €10 million. A regular creator of big-budget videos – you may have followed him to Mongolia or Lapland – Amixem has won over 8.8 million subscribers and astronomical view counts. His income comes from YouTube of course, but not only: this Nantes-born creator has launched his own clothing brand and features plenty of high-tech product placements in his videos.

His production company also allows him to work with other talents and increase his earnings. In short, every Amixem vlog is a profitable investment. With his good-natured humour and sense of spectacle, he has turned his geeky passions into a very prosperous business… and can travel in first class without batting an eyelid.
5. Michou – €11 Million
At just 23 years old, Michou (Miguel Mattioli) already has around €11 million to his name. Propelled by Fortnite and wild vlogs, the youngest in this top 10 has monetised his hype like a pro. YouTube (8 million subscribers) brings him substantial ad revenue, but Michou quickly realised he could go further. He has released music tracks that are hits with his community, created his own clothing brand Team Crouton, and even appeared on Dancing with the Stars on TF1, which brought him fame beyond the internet (and a few lucrative contracts along the way).
Michou
This young man from Amiens now runs a little “Michou enterprise” between sponsored content and personal projects. The result: a bank account that would make many a veteran YouTuber green with envy. The next generation is here – and extremely wealthy!

Showcasing priceless supercars on his YouTube and Instagram channels. Contrary to what you might think, GMK wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth: he built his empire all by himself.

Between his income as an automotive content creator, his car customisation garage in Monaco and his investments, he has well and truly shifted up a gear financially. In a candid video in early 2025, he even let slip that his assets were in the 8-figure range. Today, GMK can afford all the supercars of his dreams. You could say his roaring passion has given him a well-oiled bank account… and that he now rides on (almost literal) gold!

With his parody videos and crowd-pleasing sketches, he has gathered over 14 million subscribers over the years.

Cyprien has proved you can last on YouTube while continuing to evolve. Fun fact: he was one of the first to make a living from his web passion, cashing his first big cheques as early as 2010 thanks to Dailymotion and then YouTube.

His fitness and motivation channel brings him substantial advertising revenue, all the more so as he has accumulated over 5 billion views. But Mr InShape didn’t stop there.

FAQ: The Wealth of YouTubers
Q: Who is the richest French YouTuber in 2025?
A: That would be Squeezie. In 2025, his fortune is estimated at around €36 million, placing him comfortably at the top of the ranking of the richest French YouTubers. His phenomenal success and various projects (music, streaming, business…) have allowed him to reach this level of wealth.
Q: How do YouTubers make money from their videos?
A: YouTubers draw income from several sources. First, advertising: YouTube pays them for ads shown before or during their videos (the more views, the more it pays). Then there are sponsored partnerships: a brand pays the creator to talk about a product or feature it in a video. Many also have merchandise sales (clothing, accessories branded to their channel) or launch their own brand. Finally, the best-known diversify through Twitch streams, book or music sales, paid media appearances, and even investments in businesses. It’s truly a blend of multiple income streams that builds a YouTuber’s fortune.
Q: Does having lots of subscribers mean being rich for a YouTuber?
A: Not necessarily. Subscriber count matters, but it’s not the only factor in wealth. For example, a YouTuber can have millions of subscribers but earn little if they don’t monetise their videos well (low ad rates, few sponsors, audience using ad blockers, etc.). Conversely, a creator with fewer subscribers but a very profitable niche (such as finance, luxury or high-end cars) can attract advertisers who pay very well and earn a great deal of money.
What matters most is the number of monetisable views, the type of ads, the sponsors and the side projects. In short, lots of subscribers help you get rich, but it’s only part of the equation.
Q: How are YouTubers’ fortunes estimated? Are these figures reliable?
A: The fortunes shown are estimates based on various publicly available information. YouTubers don’t share their bank statements, so data is cross-referenced: estimated YouTube revenue from views, known advertising contracts, merchandise, companies they’ve created, etc. Specialist media and web analysts sometimes calculate or disclose these amounts.
Statements made by the creators themselves are also used when they let slip clues (for example, GMK discussing his fortune in a video). These figures should therefore be taken as ballpark estimates. They are plausible and give an idea of who earns the most, but the actual fortune may vary. In any case, whether it’s €8 million or €10 million, it remains enormous – and it changes fast with success!
In conclusion, the wealth of French YouTubers in 2025 shows that creating content online can pay off enormously. Between creativity, hard work and business acumen, these 10 web stars have struck gold… and their bank accounts are in excellent health. Who said filming videos in your bedroom couldn’t lead to the millionaires’ club?
