KSI – $25 Million
Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, simply known as KSI, first established his name in the world of YouTube before dipping his toes into music. He launched his own channel in 2009, first meant to make commentaries on games, specifically about the “FIFA” series. He also tried vlogging, much to his subscribers’ delight.
On top of this, he also engaged in boxing, starring in a bout against another YouTuber, Logan Paul, in a pay-per-view event that was said to have earned them at least $2 million each. Then, in May 2020, KSI released his debut album titled “Dissimulation” after signing with BMG and RBC Records.
