How Does Keith Gill Make Money?
Keith Gill is a Youtuber and Investor known as user DeepFuckingValue on Reddit and RoaringKitty on Youtube.
His birthday is on June 8,1986 meaning Keith Gill is 34 years old.
Keith’s Youtube Channel, RoaringKitty, has 500k subscribers and according to Social Blade, it grew with 380k in the last 30 days.
According to his stats on Social Blade, he saw 4.5 million views in the last 30 days which could earn him around $1k to $17k.
That would mean he has an RPM (Revenue per 1000 views) of $0.20 to $4.
However, we know social blade estimates to be automated and widely inaccurate as they do not consider the niche of each individual Youtuber.
Since Keith Gill’s Youtube channel is in the investing niche, he would likely see an RPM similar to others we’ve profiled such as Andrei Jikh and Nate O’Brien who see an average of $13 RPM on their videos.
This means Keith Gill could earn $58,500 every month from Youtube assuming he has an RPM in the same range.
But… Keith Gill doesn’t monetize his Youtube channel.
Currently, Keith Gill likely makes all of his money from his investments.
As he famously invested $50,000 in Gamestop back in 2019 when shares were trading below $10.
At the height of GameStop Short Squeeze, his shares were worth an estimated $48 million!
Here’s a video from August 2020 where Keith Gill explains exactly WHY he invested in Gamestop, WAY before anyone else was talking about it.
Obviously, Keith doesn’t just invest in Gamestop and holds many different positions which he frequently shares on his Youtube channel.
