He’s nine! Yes, a nine-year-old child pulled down north of $29 million on YouTube.

In all honesty, I never heard of this kid before this morning. I didn’t even know he existed. Then, I hopped over to YouTube and was blown away.

This kid has nearly 28 million subscribers! What world am I living in right now?

I have no idea who is running this kid’s finances, but I hope it’s someone really good. He just made more money in a year than most people make in three lifetimes.

The insanity of this situation is just mind-boggling to me. A video about frozen cereal pulled down 10 million views.

You know America is truly the greatest country on earth when kids seven years removed from being able to legally drive are being paid the same as NFL stars.

Capitalism sure is a beautiful thing!

Stack that money, Ryan! Stack that money!
