Forbes just released its list of the top creators of 2024, and MrBeast, Druski, and Kai Cenat all made the top 50 earners.
As detailed by the Top Creators 2024 list, the Forbes report breaks down the earnings of some of the biggest stars across social media, whether it be YouTube and Twitch or TikTok and Instagram. Unsurprisingly, the hugely popular YouTuber MrBeast, real name James Stephen Donaldson, landed at the No. 1 spot with an astonishing $85 million in annual earnings. With over 500 million followers across several social media platforms and 9 billion views on YouTube in 2024 alone, MrBeast continues to dominate despite weathering multiple controversies.
Druski also made a big impact at the No. 11 spot with $12 million in earnings, the Georgia comedian has raked in a lot of money thanks to some smart advertising deals with the likes of Google and Microsoft, and a successful stand-up and sketch comedy tour.
Twitch superstar Kai Cenat, meanwhile, landed at No. 24 with $8.5 million in earnings and over 48 million followers. Cenat broke the North American Twitch record for most concurrent viewers earlier this year when he streamed with Kevin Hart and Druski, but he's also made moves with McDonald's and T-Mobile commercials and a partnership with Nike.
