Actionkid Net Worth In 2022: How Does He Make Money? Details To Know

ActionKid is a Chinese-American Youtuber primarily known for his tour vlogs about New York City.

What separates ActionKid from other travel bloggers is that he makes irl live streams of his travels throughout New York City. These point-of-view videos have made him very popular among Youtube fans and the mainstream. 

He is also known for making compilations of life in the Big Apple. His live streams usually last one or two hours and follow a certain part of New York. 

For example, he would walk around Manhattan, Chinatown, or Astoria, film the localities and people for hours, and cut that into a video.

ActionKid's efforts in New York City have been recognized by the city's government, as his videos show, and many people who travel the city use his videos as a reference point and guide to what parts of the city they should visit.

He started filming a mixture of short and long videos. The short videos were mostly videos of irresponsible drivers and pedestrians, and the longer videos would be vlogs of him walking or cycling around that eventually expanded into the kind of videos he makes today. 

Quick Info

ActionKid's Net Worth In 2022

Chinese-American Youtuber ActionKid's net worth is estimated to be $1 million as of 2022.

The YouTuber's main source of income is through his Youtube videos. He has amassed 355K subscribers on his channel.

The YouTuber joined the platform on September 6, 2010, but didn't post any videos for six years until January 10, 2016. Since then, he has posted 3,786 videos.

He has posted such a large number of videos because most of them are through his live streams. As mentioned above, the Youtuber uses POV live streams to showcase his content: walking and traveling through New York.

Also, a few years before he made the content he does today, the Youtuber primarily made short compilations quickly.

The highest number of views he has received on his channel is 3.1 million. Of the 3,786 videos on his channel, 12 videos have reached or surpassed a million views. 

As of late, ActionKid's views lessened than the amount they used to be when he was posting shorter videos, but since the videos are live streams, they don't attract as many people. These videos have earned ActionKid a new, more dedicated fan base, and he's doing all the better for it. 

These fans stick around and watch the entirety of his videos, which is why he has amassed such large net worth, although his subscriber number is lower than most people with a million dollars net worth.

Also, as mentioned above, many people, especially fans, use ActionKid's videos to navigate, explore, and sightsee the city of New York, which has increased their fidelity and loyalty to the channel.

How Does ActionKid Make Money?

ActionKid primarily makes money off of his Youtube videos. He makes money off of the AdSense that his Youtube videos make. Youtube pays $2-$12 per 1000 monetized views in the US, UK, and Canada after the company takes its cut.

Also, YouTube pays more depending on how long people stick around and watch the videos. This rule is advantageous for ActionKid since he is a live streamer. It's his viewers' nature to stick around for the whole thing. 

Also, he has a Patreon page where people can pay him a monthly fee for different perks. Usually, people who have a Patreon also have tiers where people can pay more for more perks.

ActionKid is no different, and he has three tiers. They are:

• Tier 1: Bronze: $1 Per Month: The member gets access to ActionKid's monthly update post, and the Member Section of the ActionKid Discord Server, where he discusses:
  • Where he's been
  • Upcoming video ideas
  • Other topics of interest
• Tier 2: Silver: $5 Per Month: The member gets access to all the perks of the tier before, along with the following new perks:
  • Exclusive members-only live streams
  • Exclusive members-only videos
  • 10% Off Items from the ActionKid TeeSpring Merch Store
• Tier 3: Gold: $10 Per Month: The member gets access to all the perks of the tiers before, along with the following new perk:
  • 20% Off Items from the ActionKid TeeSpring Merch Store

As evidenced above, another way ActionKid makes money is through merchandise. He has partnered with the company, Spring, to distribute his merchandise on his website. As a content creator with a loyal fan base, one can assume that ActionKid sells a fair amount of his merchandise to supplement his income. 

Also, his Patreon and merchandise store work hand in hand because the higher tier someone is on his Patreon, the cheaper they can buy his merchandise. This symbiotic relationship helps ActionKid's income nicely.

How Much Is ActionKid's Career Earnings?

Strictly looking at the view counts on his videos, ActionKid has earned roughly $1,581,996.

The number is calculated from the total amount of views he has amassed on his videos, which is 131,833,071. As mentioned above, since most of his videos are live streams, one can assume that his earnings veer towards $12 rather than $2.

ActionKid also has about 189 Patreon followers, and their monthly donations have surely added to his career earnings. The reasoning is that Patreon subscribers are monthly, so even though the amount they donate each month is low, it is still a consistent amount. 

So, regardless of how much they donate, ActionKid makes thousands every month from his Patreon account. Also, the Youtuber is running a promotion where he gives a 15% discount to everyone who pays for a year in a one-time payment.

He also accepts one-time donations through PayPal and Cash App. Though there is no data to support it, the fact that his loyal fanbase has supported him through one-time donations is not far-fetched. 

ActionKid's entire online persona is based on the fact that he is a kind and positive person. His videos show it too, and often he has been rewarded with one-time donations while on video. 

He also has his merchandise, which he has partnered with Spring to help advertise and distribute.

Regarding partnerships, he has many sponsors to help fund his videos and holds an NYC tour guide license as of 2019, so he also has the city's support, which is no small feat.

What Is ActionKid's Real Name?

Chinese-American YouTuber ActionKid's real name is Kenneth Chin. 

ActionKid aka Chin, was born on October 9, 1987, and is currently 34. He was born and raised in New York City, New York, which explains his fascination with the big apple. 

Not much is known about the YouTuber's early and personal life. However, he has stated that he decided to start making videos and posting them regularly on Youtube at the end of 2016. 

He has long been fascinated with New York City because he was born and raised there and simply because he loves living and exploring the town. 

The Youtuber has explored the city he loves with a range of tactics like:

• Walking tours
• Cycling videos
• Cultural events
• Parades, and 
• Seasonal Festivals

ActionKid lets his work speak for him, and as someone who loves to travel and explore a dense city filled with something or the other to see and do, there are times when the Youtuber lets the city speak for him. 

Though not much personal information is known about the Youtuber, he has stated that he aspires to inspire positivity with his videos as much as he can. 

This aspiration toward positivity is one of the reasons why the Youtuber moved away from the short videos of his past where he would post about rude drivers and pedestrians. He focuses on the beauty around him instead of awful things. He has diversified his videos and explored other cities, most recently Miami, Florida.

Is ActionKid Married?

No, The Chinese-American Youtuber ActionKid is not married or in a relationship.

He is very private about his personal life, so even if he were in a relationship, his fans and the public wouldn't be aware if he didn't publically state it, a feat which he has never done. 

ActionKid's Instagram has 13.9K followers and 1,061 posts about his traveling exploits, but not a single picture or any inkling of his personal life. He has made many friends with fellow Youtubers with whom he has traveled and collaborated. 

One of his more recent collaborators was Jaycation, a smaller channel. Jaycation has 73.1K subscribers compared to ActionKid's 355K subscribers. He has uploaded 874 videos on his channel and travels primarily around the San Diego area of California.

Jaycation's real name is Jay Jay Maniquis, and he and ActionKid collaborated when the Chinese-American Youtuber went to Miami, Florida. 

ActionKid going to Miami was the first time in a long while that the Youtuber's content veered from his usually New York City-based videos. 

He made more than a hundred streams in Miami, where he used his trademark exploration style of walking around the city by visiting different places in the town. 

Jaycation appeared in most of the Miami videos. One of the great things that ActionKid did is that he didn't only show the fashionable side of the city but how hard it can sometimes be to traverse through the town. 

His Miami videos were a huge success and showed that the YouTuber could survive in any locality and that although he makes videos about New York City, he does not simply have to be relegated to that position for his entire life.

He is now back in New York City and has continued his regular streams but seems to have a new joie de vivre to his creations. Here's to wishing him luck.
