What is Real Science's net worth and estimated earnings?

Nobody outside the channel sees the real figure, and ad revenue is only part of it - sponsorships and merch often dwarf it. But from public view counts, Real Science pulls roughly 1.7M long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $1,720-$6,880 a month in ad revenue (about $20,640-$82,560 a year). Treat it as a ballpark, not a payslip - real creator income varies wildly, and this ignores the back catalogue.

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 20 min+ format, ship on Wed, and build titles around its proven words (insane, biology). The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 1.0M views.
