Survival Beast Net Worth – $700,000

 

Survival Beast is a popular YouTube channel created and run by an Australian guy named Adam Cavanagh. He has an estimated net worth of $700,000. The content in the channel mainly consists of Adam living alone in the wild and encountering different wild animals and sea creatures such as giant lizards, deadly snakes, spiders, sharks and many others. We also get to see bushcraft, spearfishing, line fishing and the outdoors in general. Adam only eats what he catches.

A number of the videos are silent besides natural sounds. The goal is for the viewer to feel as if they were there, taking in the beauty of nature, the sounds of the ocean, rain forests, mountains etc.

In addition to the Survival Beast channel, Adam runs another channel known as Cavy Fishing (90 million views) where he films himself traveling in search for the biggest fish to catch from the shore. His main target species are Giant Trevally, Dogtooth Tuna, Coral Trout, Mahi mahi, Barracuda, Wahoo, Marlin and Sailfish.

How Much Money Does Survival Beast Earn On YouTube?

The channel has over 800,000 subscribers as of 2022 and has accumulated over 120 million views so far. It is able to get an average of 200,000 views per day from different sources. This should generate an estimated revenue of $1,600 per day ($585,000 a year) from the ads that appear on the videos.

YouTube content creators based in the US, UK, Canada and Australia generally get paid $2 – $12 per 1000 monetized views after YouTube takes its cut. Monetized views usually range from 40% – 80% of the total views. All these are influenced by several factors like the device played on, time of the year, the location of the viewer, ad inventory, how many ads there are on a video, how many people skip the ads, type of advertisement, ad engagement, type of content, etc.

The cost of an ad view is based on an auction between advertisers based on views. Advertisers have to bid a minimum of $0.01 per view.

There is also a program known as Google Preferred where deep-pocketed companies can target ads on the top 5% most popular content. The ad rates here are higher than normal.

Apart from ads, YouTubers also generate extra from YouTube Premium viewers who pay a monthly fee to view premium content on YouTube and watch videos without ads. Here they get paid based on watch time on their videos. The longer the viewers watch their videos, the more money they earn.

Adam generates extra income from selling merchandise.
