It's not new information that you can make the big bucks by becoming an online influencer - no matter your age.
In 2021, some of the richest kids on social media under the age of 10 were raking in as much as $165,030 a month.
The likes of Anastasia Radzinskaya, Samayra Narula, and Sadim Khan were all under the age of 10 at the time of the report, and probably making more than their parents ever had.

Now North West could be in for a piece of the action and, what was initially just a page for her to create funny videos with her uber famous mom Kim Kardashian, could be helping the 10-year-old save up for her first car already.
The eldest offspring of Kim and 'Stronger' rapper Kanye West recently announced that she will soon release her debut album.
Titled Elementary School Dropout, the moniker gives a nod to her dad's 2004 album, College Dropout.
Since announcing the news last month, there's reports that North could bring in stacks of cash on TikTok alone - never mind from her music.
As per research conducted by Viralyft.com, North gained 800,000 followers in February of this year (prior to her album announcement), which took her follower count to a whopping 18.9 million.
With these figures in mind, it's estimated that the youngster could make a staggering £23,787.90 ($30,140) per TikTok video. Meanwhile, at the end of 2023, the average US yearly salary for a working adult was $59,384.
And her following has since increased to 19.1 million this month, meaning the she would be able to make even more cash now.
Speaking about the findings, a Viralyft spokesperson said: "North West shows a passion for music and creativity, which is inspired by her dad Kanye West’s musical legacy. It’s fascinating to see how much more influential and earning potential North can achieve.
"With the guidance of mum and mega-influencer Kim Kardashian, who manages her TikTok account, she's already gained a massive platform and income stream at ten years old. It’ll be interesting to see if her followers dramatically increase and what her future earning potential is when her debut album releases."
North has a bit to go until she's making as much as her celebrity mom on social media though.
As of 2022, Kim was reportedly making an eye-watering $1,689,000 per Instagram post.
With this in mind and her handful of successful businesses, it probably comes as no surprise to that the 43-year-old is a billionaire.
Kim officially reached billionaire status in 2021.
