Thomas also keeps his 2.3m followers updated on Instagram, sharing a recent picture with fellow YouTube star and rapper KSI.

In second place are sisters Ruby, 15 and her six-year-old sibling Bonnie who – along with their family – play games and make entertainment videos for kids. They are estimated to earn £204,000 a month, which works out at about £2.45million over a year.

Siblings Gaby, six, and Alex, seven, are third with a predicted £161,000 a month in earnings. The pair’s channel has the most subscribers on the list – 17 million – and they use their platform to teach kindness to children.
