Title: Laszlo - Supernova

[antoniohenrique]

he has a only fan's, 96% of the profits come from there

[matsy]

Linus doesn’t get paid in money, he gets a hefty amount of waterbotles and ltt underpants every year.

[SuperSandwich]

Linus is a genius he's literally making money just telling us how he makes his money. It's even sponsored

[FaeAtaraxia]

You got me Linus, after 12 years of watching you from NCIX, I will buy your LTT bottle.

[AnonimInc]

Kinda crazy watching a channel for 7 years... But I am happy that LTT just keeps getting bigger, and better

[RolyRamosPR]

This is actually a job opening ad: if you can figure out how much is made, you're hired as an accountant

[williamstoney]

Linus makes a whopping $17 CAD a month
He just steals snack from the break room.

[SunnyShuklathedoctor]

Linus it's ok you can say "I'm bad at math and Yvonne does the thing"

[DutchBushcraftKnives]

LTT is actually a big example to me. I can't think of any youtuber who has put so much revenue back into expanding their channel as Linus.
Linus should be called the Big Father! he's providing work for what? 30 families now?

[StereoBucket]

My educated guess says that Linus takes home at least 20 dollars a year.

[YAEteddy]

Don't know why, but the transparency, the adherence to ethics, and the thanking got me emotional. Damn you, Linus.

[drewwalters]

I really like how honest Linus is. As much as people love to give him crap, he really is a great guy and the fact that he took the time to make this video purely for his integrity and our curiosity says a lot about the man.

[alejandromoran]

He forgot to mention the most important thing: he's been working on this for at least 14 years.

[poisonouslead]

You live comfortably, while doing what you love, while being surrounded by people you like, while being in complete control of your life. That's a form of wealth that isn't measured in dollars.

[CB-uyni]

Thank you for being so transparent about all this, been a fan for years and makes me even more want to buy your merch

[craigwhittaker]

For all of you wondering,
Assuming one view equals .005 cents and that the channel got 1, 000, 000, 000 views in 2020
LTT Netted 24, 230, 769 dollars in 2020
(I got my number from knowing that ad sense accounts for 26% of their revenue)

[masuri]

Guys I just wanna point out that we as his viewers pretty much had a shareholder meeting regarding finances.

[HowardRoarkBR]

Being really honest here: when I search for anything related to tech or computers - if there's a LTT video, I don't even bother watching the other search results. You guys always make acessible content that is nice to watch, it's really outstanding. And Linus simply couldn't be more charismatic

[jon]

You deserve all the success that you've achieved. You worked your ass off with your staff from day 1. From the outside looking in you're not just a boss but a friend when you need to be to your staff. You genuinely care, that's why your staff and fans will always be here.

[abhishikthvutukuri]

I feel how much ever he might earn, let it even be a million dollars a month, he genuinely deserves it 100% because of the amount of hard work & patience he has put in for LMG
