CNN reportsed that the Boram Family Company recently purchased a five-story home for $9.5 billion Korean won (just over $8 million US) in a suburb of Seoul.
Boram’s most popular videos have more than 300 million views. In addition to earning money from ad revenue, YouTube stars like Boram can earn even more from sponsorship deals with toy companies and other retailers.

Videos starring children are massively popular on YouTube, even though the platform is intended for users over the age of 12. YouTube is reportedly considering shifting children’s videos to YouTube Kids as the FTC reaches the final stages of an investigation into the video platform’s handling of children’s privacy and data collection.
