NELK Net Worth (2020) | YouTube Pranksters Making Bank

What Is NELK's Net Worth?
It has been nearly 20 years since the Jackass series on MTV launched and as the internet grew so did the opportunities for similar pranksters to gain popularity and wealth. Enter NELK, Kyle Forgeard, Niko, and Marko Martinovic began their YouTube careers with NELKFilmz which began in 2010. During the next year, the group gained popularity and started to earn advertising revenue. NELK invited new members: Jesse Sebastiani and Lucas Gasparini.
The Trouble with the Law

These young men have been arrested multiple times. In Ohio, during November of 2018, Jesse Sebastiani was charged and found guilty of disorderly conduct while filming a prank for their channel.
Before he was arrested Sebastiani apologized to the police officers which included seven officers, multiple cruisers, and substantial cost to the jurisdiction.
Luckily, the judge suspended Jesse's fine and court costs because he viewed the charge as a "humourous act." There's a popular video of the entire fiasco on YouTube.
They have also been barred from entering Russia. They were detained in August of 2019 in Germany while trying to travel to Russia. NELK's popularity backfired when they tried to spread their special type of humor internationally.
YouTube Fame

The NELK channel boasts almost 5 million subscribers with 750 million views! NELK experts estimate that the channel generates about 700,000 views daily. This level of traffic earns nearly $4000 every day which amounts to $1.3 million on an annual basis.
These Toronto, Canada natives are paid for the advertising seen on their channel. YouTube charges each channel a percentage of their revenue.
These payments per views are impacted by many different elements: the device used to view the video, audience location, ad inventory, the number of ads on a video if the audience skips the ads, the varying types of content and advertisements, ad engagement, and even the content's genre determine how much the channel earns.
Did you know that the worth of an ad view is based on an auction between advertisers based on viewing statistics? Advertisers can bid as low as one cent per view.
Google Preferred is another program where wealthy corporations utilize the top five percent of the most viewed YouTube content. While these ad rates are higher than normal they also get a deep discount in comparison to traditional television advertising rates
Apart from advertising-income, NELK also generates revenue from paid YouTube subscribers who fork over a monthly fee to view the latest NELK pranks and antics. These premium content projects don't usually have advertisements but the creators are paid for how long people watch the video. The longer the audience watches the content means a bigger paycheck for these mischievous Canadians.

The Future of Physical Comedy and Pranks
