YouTube sensation Zoella earns at least £50,000 a month according to accounts filed last week.
The 25-year-old vlogger, whose real name is Zoe Sugg, earned a profit of almost £400,000 in the eight months to November 2014 according to The Sunday Times.
Since setting up her YouTube channel in 2009, Zoella has risen to fame for her hair and make-up tutorials and now has a following of over 10 million on YouTube.
The vlogger recently posted a 21-minute-long breakdown of her removing items from a Boots carrier bag which has been viewed more than 2 million times.
The Wiltshire-born internet star’s debut book Girls Online published by Penguin was the fastest selling debut book in history - selling 78,109 copies in just one week in 2014.
Zoella lives in a five-bedroom mansion worth £1 million in Hove with her boyfriend and fellow YouTube sensation Alfie Deyes who has 4.8 million subscribers.
The couple are dubbed ‘Zalfie’ by fans and routinely make appearance in each others 'vlogs' - one particular video where they quiz each other on how well they know one another has amassed over 15 million views.
