How much money does Gothamchess, the internet's chess teacher, make?

  Chess has historically been a sport that pays very little. The first person that usually comes to mind when talking about Chess Profits would be Hikaru Nakumara. However, during the Chess Boom, another person rose to fame. The person, is Levy Rozman, aka GothamChess!



YOUTUBE


Firstly, let’s account for the place most of you have met Gothamchess, which is YouTube. Levy currently has 4.11 Million subs, currently on YouTube. With an average of 63 Million views a month, Levy Rozman is the biggest YouTube Channel in the Chess Niche.



According to SocialBlade, these view counts would generally result in $15.8K - $252.3K per month, depending on how the ads do. With this, we can average it out to $134K a month, or $1.6M a year. This is even more than Hikaru, who, on average, makes $338.7K per month from YouTube.


For some comparison on YouTube profit:


  • BotezLive - $378,150

  • Chessbrah - $27,100

  • KDlearns Chess - $40,100

  • Eric Rosen - $44,250


TWITCH


However, some of you will know that Gothamchess doesn’t just have a YouTube Channel, but also a Twitch channel. According to https://twitch.pages.dev/earnings/gothamchess/, GothamChess makes $424,505, during the 26-month period from Aug 2019 to Sep 2021.



Doing some basic maths, we can turn this into an average of $16,327 per month, which is, once again, an incredibly huge number. So far, by adding on to the total, he would be making $353,000 a month, or $4,236,000 a year, from both YouTube and Twitch.


CONCLUSION


While yes, GothamChess also has other revenue streams, such as his website Chessly, however, since there is no data on them, I have concluded that these are insignificant numbers in the grand scheme of things. Therefore, we can conclude that Gothamchess makes $353,000 per month!


So, did this number surprise you in any way? Please answer in the comments section below!
