Tanmay Bhat Named India’s Richest YouTuber in Viral List as He Questions the Numbers

Questions about MyJar’s opaque methodology shadow the widely shared ranking.

Overview

  • Tech Informer published a ranking based on MyJar Blog data that places Tanmay Bhat at Rs 665 crore, calling him India’s richest YouTuber.
  • Other top estimates in the list include Technical Guruji at Rs 356 crore, Samay Raina at Rs 140 crore, CarryMinati at Rs 131 crore, and Bhuvan Bam at Rs 122 crore.
  • Tanmay Bhat reacted on X with a joke that he wouldn’t be selling YouTube memberships if he had that much money, playing down the claim.
  • As reported by Free Press Journal, Bhat also rejected the figures as “wildly off,” and MyJar has not explained how it derived the estimates.
  • Coverage situates the list within a fast-growing creator economy, with outlets citing an EY projection that India’s digital influencer market could exceed Rs 3,000 crore by 2026.
