IShowSpeed
Forbes estimated IShowSpeed's earnings at $30 million for March 2025 to March 2026, eighth on its Top Creators 2026 list. He started a YouTube channel in 2016 with NBA 2K and Fortnite videos that few watched, broke through five years later when clips of his gaming outbursts went viral on TikTok, then moved into football content — including collaborations with Cristiano Ronaldo — and live travel tours such as Speed Does America and Speed Does Africa. He has 184 million followers and brand deals with Dick's Sporting Goods, Beats by Dre and Doritos.

How to read IShowSpeed's earnings per second
MoneyPerSecond Editorial·Data last reviewed: September 30, 2026
IShowSpeed's route to the Forbes list is the most improbable on this site. He started a YouTube channel in 2016 posting NBA 2K and Fortnite, and for years few people watched. The turn came about five years later, when short clips of his loud, unfiltered reactions to games spread on TikTok and pulled viewers back to his long live streams — an audience built on personality rather than on any particular game.
From there he moved towards football, the sport he is most associated with now, and filmed with players including Cristiano Ronaldo, whose counter on this site runs about ten times faster than his. He then turned the live stream into a travel format: tours such as Speed Does America and Speed Does Africa, in which he streams for hours from city streets to millions of viewers. In summer 2026 he launched a World Cup 2026 Tour with FIFA as the tournament came to North America.
Forbes lists 184 million followers and brand deals with Dick's Sporting Goods, Beats by Dre and Doritos. Unlike MrBeast or Mark Rober, he has no consumer-products company in his profile, so his $30 million rests on audience, sponsorship and appearances rather than on a separate business — which also makes it more exposed to a change in how platforms pay or how brands spend.
He ranks eighth even though Codie Sanchez, tenth, has a slightly higher estimate at $31 million. That is because Forbes ranks the list on reach, engagement and entrepreneurship as well as earnings. The counter on this page uses only the earnings estimate, which comes to about $0.95 a second.

Methodology
The annual figure is Forbes' estimate of $30 million for March 2025 to March 2026, from its Top Creators 2026 list. It combines platform income and brand deals that Forbes does not itemise, and the list is ranked on earnings together with audience, engagement and an entrepreneurship score — which is why he sits eighth with a lower figure than the creator in tenth. The per-second rate divides the estimate by 31,536,000 seconds.
