Overview
- A Tech Informer ranking based on MyJar Blog estimates named Tanmay Bhat India’s richest YouTuber with a reported net worth of Rs 665 crore, a list widely reproduced by Indian outlets and social accounts.
- Bhat reacted on X with a quip that if he had that much money he wouldn’t be selling YouTube memberships, a post that quickly drew widespread attention.
- He has also said the number is “wildly off” for him, publicly disputing the estimate.
- The same list places Technical Guruji at Rs 356 crore, Samay Raina at Rs 140 crore, CarryMinati at Rs 131 crore, and Bhuvan Bam at Rs 122 crore.
- MyJar has not detailed how it calculated the figures, as coverage shifts to the scale of India’s creator economy, with EY projecting the influencer market to surpass Rs 3,000 crore by 2026.
