2. The members of Sidemen make their money from various streams of income and all revenues are shared equally among them.
Sponsorship deals – big brands are keen to advertise with the Sidemen due to their large audience. Their fans are mostly aged 15-25 and based in the UK, they haven’t cracked America yet! Depending on the type of promotion, the group could easily make six figures for an advertising deal. Anything less and it’s not worth it for them.
YouTube Ads – these are the ads that appear before videos and can be a big earner if your viewing figures are in the millions. Per their Social Blade, the group generates earnings of $930 to $14.9K in a day, the revenue of $6.5K to $104.2K in a week, an income of $27.9K to $446.5K in a month, and a salary of $334.9K to $5.4M.
Merchandise Sales – the clothing range is another cash cow for the boys and earns them about £2 million annually, per Techie Gamers.
All of the revenue generated is shared out equally among the group. Outside of the Sidemen channel, each member also has their own personal YouTube channels to make extra income. Some of them set up their own businesses and report profits to the Companies House in the UK. Based on this financial data, we calculate the net worth of each member.
