What is Unspeakable from YouTube’s net worth? YouTuber Unspeakable has earned millions from his Minecraft videos.
With millions of subscribers and billions of views across his channels, Unspeakable has built a YouTube empire — and a reported net worth of $20 million–$40 million — with his Minecraft videos.
The video game Minecraft has been a cash cow for Unspeakable and other content creators since its 2011 release, especially because of its enduring popularity.
“I think it’s because of the way the game was built and designed,” Unspeakable, whose first name is Nathan, told The Houston Chronicle in 2015. “It was built as a sandbox game, where you can literally do anything. The community is so strong because of YouTubers and because of just the player base. With Minecraft, there’s a new thing every week. There’s a new, amazing map that comes out that someone made. Or there’s a new game mode.”
Here’s a look at how YouTuber Unspeakable got famous and, more importantly, how he racked up a multi-million dollar net worth.
UNSPEAKABLE Profile Summary
Much of Unspeakable’s net worth is likely tied to the $28.5 million he received from selling his catalog of YouTube content to Spotter in 2021, according to Forbes. Unspeakable’s position on social media has not only made him quite rich, but it has also helped him land the #13 spot on Forbes 2022 list of Top Creators and #5 of its 2022 list of Highest-Paid YouTube Stars.

How did Unspeakable get rich?
Unspeakable explained to the Chronicle that he realized his YouTubing could be more than a hobby when his first paycheck arrived. “It was $156,” he said. “I didn’t even know getting paid on YouTube was a possibility. I was like, ‘Wow, this is crazy. This is a real thing. I can turn this into something that’s huge.’ It opened up my mind to a lot of different goals that I wanted to reach with this whole thing.”
Unspeakable did indeed turn his channel into “something that’s huge.” Online estimates of his net worth range from $20 million to $40 million.
In fact, the website Naibuzz reported in January that he likely gets $16,000 per day and $6 million a year from his UnspeakableGaming channel and $26,500 per day and $9.7 million per year from his Unspeakable channel.
It wasn’t always that way, of course. “Becoming a YouTuber is very similar to creating your own business,” he told the Chronicle. “It’s gonna take a lot of time to get momentum and build up and actually create somewhat of a source of revenue or views from it. If you don’t have the passion, and you’re not super-excited, and you’re not willing to be patient with it, then you’re not gonna make it. You’re just gonna end up giving up after a year of trying. It took me about a year-and-a-half to even start making over $100 a month.”
How did Unspeakable get famous?
Nathan started UnspeakableGaming in 2012 and has racked up 10.5 million subscribers and 4.2 billion views. His Unspeakable channel came three and a half years later and has accrued 10.9 million subscribers and 4.4 billion views. Nathan is also behind the YouTube channels ASWDFZXCVBHGTYYN, which hosts “random Minecraft videos,” and Unspeakable 2.0, which goes behind the scenes of his content-creation process.
“It feels unreal,” Nathan said in a new interview with The Knockturnal. “Honestly, every day I wake up, and I’m just like, ‘Wow, this is crazy.’ I’m kind of living my dream because I’ve always wanted to be a YouTuber. That was always the goal. That was always my destiny, so it’s a pretty unreal feeling. It really is. But I also always think about when I first got started and how hard it was, and still now, it’s still not easy. I’m still struggling a lot and learning so much every day.”
