Rick Astley & Baby Shark How Much Is A Viral YouTube Video Worth

YouTube videos like Never Gonna Give You Up and Baby Shark are known by everyone — but how much money do these viral clips actually make? Ever since people learned how to make money using sites like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, etc., there’s been a constant desire to know exactly how much online creators are paid. People regularly flood comments sections asking these questions, there are videos dedicated to guessing these things, and it’s a never-ending cycle.

In the case of YouTube, specifically, monetization works in a few different ways. For a lot of channels/videos, the primary money-maker comes from ad revenue. When advertisements are played before, during, or after a YouTube video, the creator gets a small portion of the advertising earnings from YouTube. In addition to advertising dollars, many YouTubers have also begun using sponsorships to increase their income. If a video is sponsored by a company like Hello Fresh, Nord VPN, etc., that company has paid the YouTuber directly to be mentioned in their video. Throw in things like merch, YouTube Super Chats, and channel memberships, and there are multiple ways for a YouTuber to make money.

Along with specific YouTubers, it’s also fun to think about how much money viral videos have generated. There are videos on YouTube with 1, 2, and 3 billion views — and those numbers continue to go up with each day that passes. For those videos that hit especially hard, how much money are they making? While YouTube doesn’t make these numbers public, there are other ways to get a general estimate of what these earnings look like. Take Influencer Marketing Hub, for example. Using its ‘YouTube Money Calculator,’ anyone can enter a YouTube video URL and see its estimated video earnings. Influencer Marketing Hub bases these estimates on a few things, including the 45 percent cut Google takes from the total advertising income. It also assumes that everyone who’s seen the video has watched the included advertisements, along with the advertiser paying the average CPM (cost per thousand views) rate of $7.60.

How Much Money Never Gonna Give You Up & Baby Shark Have Made

With all of that in mind, how much does the YouTube Money Calculator estimate that some of the most viral videos have made? With a little over 1 billion video views, the official music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up has apparently earned $2 million — and that’s after Google’s 45 percent cut! That’s $2 million for a video that was uploaded in October 2009, but that’s still a good chunk of change for a single video.

Earnings get even crazier with a video like the official Baby Shark Dance, which is sitting at a little over 9 billion views at the time of publication and is the most-viewed video on all of YouTube. The YouTube Money Calculator estimates it’s earned a whopping $17 million — despite having just been uploaded in June 2016. Again, that’s after Google takes its 45 percent cut and assumes advertisers are paying the average $7.60 CPM (which could be higher in the case of a video like this).

Although only a small fraction of YouTube videos see the level of success that Never Gonna Give You Up and Baby Shark do, it’s beyond impressive that a single video can generate such high numbers. And because these videos are available on YouTube 24/7, getting more and more views by the second, those earnings are also continually rising. The YouTube code is hard to crack, but when someone does so, the rewards are plentiful.
