I know a little bit about YouTube earnings. I can assure you he is most likely making more than $20k/month.
Interesting. Can you elaborate a little?

I have heard that he uses it, probably among other things, to hunt feral hogs.
Brad He has two of them. Garmin G3X touches. I honestly don't know how you'd maintain this machine without a full time retired military crew chief working on it. He's the guy that owns the CAA FBO there.
I only popped in to say this, but looks like I'll only be verifying.......

Ryan from Ryan’s Toy Review could buy 3 new S-76s a year and afford to operate a G-V with crew!

I personally know a guy that makes almost $500k/year filming pretty girls on his boats, as well as doing a few videos about airplanes. They make all that money off of the channels, or they make all that money from other revenue streams that the push along with the channels, like Patreon? I thought that the direct income from streaming was more limited.

We all also know another guy that does pretty well selling ice! It's a good thing he doesn't own any boats!

To heck with the Blackhawk, I want an F-15. Do you think a local CFI could check me out?
