6-Year-Old Youtuber Buys $8 Million Property
According to a public real estate registration report, Boram bought the $8 million (9.5 billion Korean won) five-story building in the popular Seoul suburb of Gangnam earlier this year, through the Boram Family company, which was set up by the YouTuber’s parents.
The little girl Boram also has two successful YouTube channels. The first one is a toy review channel with 13.6 million subscribers and the second one is a video blog channel with 17.6 million subscribers.
In one of her most viewed clips, which attracted over 380 million views, Boram makes instant noodles using a plastic toy kitchen and then slurps them down on camera.
But some of Boram’s video has brought debate in South Korea for the values it promotes. A non-governmental organization received objections from citizens in South Korea who were annoyed Boram’s clips could negatively affect the emotional and moral growth of children.
Especially, they were concerned by the videos that explained Boram stealing money from her father’s wallet and appearing to drive cars on the road.
Save the Children reported her videos to the police. The Seoul Family Court made it compulsory for Boram’s parents to attend a counseling program created to stop child abuse. The offending videos have since been removed.
Recently, Forbes issued the list of highest-earning Youtubers
The top-earning YouTuber last year was 7-year-old Ryan Kaji, the American star of Ryan ToysReview. In 2018, he earned an approximated $22 million through his channel, which has brought over 20.8 million subscribers.
Some other prominent young Youtubers include five-year-old American Tydus, who appears on his family’s YouTube channel Trav and Cor, which has 3.1 million subscribers.
There are several ways in which YouTubers make money. These include taking a cut of the ads that play on their videos, partnerships with brands to sell their goods or introduce products and services in their content.
In the past few years, some people have highlighted concerns over how YouTube manages videos that star children. In February, YouTube decided to switch off comments on videos of children after allegations that the platform had supported pedophiles in finding videos of children.
