How much could OBF potentially make from channel memberships?
We found no public sign that OBF has the Join button switched on, so the figures below are what memberships could be worth if they were enabled, not money being earned today. What we can do is model it. The sum is simple: estimated paying members × average membership price, less the 30% YouTube keeps on every membership payment.
Where memberships appear on YouTube
OBF
712.0K subscribers
| OBF membership earnings | Low | Mid | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Members converting from subscribers | 0.34% | 0.69% | 1.31% |
| Estimated paying members | 2,456 | 4,913 | 9,334 |
| Average membership price | $7.69 | $7.69 | $7.69 |
| Members revenue per month (before YouTube cut) | $18,887 | $37,781 | $71,778 |
| Creator keeps after YouTube's 30% cut | $13,221 | $26,447 | $50,245 |
| Membership earnings per year | $158.6K | $317.4K | $602.9K |
The working, step by step
- Start with a Finance benchmark conversion of 0.60% of subscribers paying for a membership.
- Adjust for audience size: at 712.0K subscribers we apply a 1× factor, because very large audiences contain far more passive viewers.
- Adjust for loyalty: 2.4M monthly views against that subscriber base gives a 1.15× factor.
- That lands on an expected 0.69% conversion, or about 4,913 paying members. The low case halves it, the high case is roughly double, covering the spread seen across real channels.
- Price each member at the blended $7.69 average across a standard tier ladder: $4.99 (70% of members), $9.99 (22% of members), $24.99 (8% of members).
- Multiply members by price, then take off YouTube's 30% cut to get what OBF actually keeps: $26,447 a month in the mid case, or $317.4K a year.
Until OBF switches the Join button on, membership income is zero regardless of the numbers above. Channels that run members-only videos, Discord perks or loyalty badges usually sit at the high end, while channels that enable memberships and never mention them sit below the low case. These are planning estimates from public data, not disclosed earnings, and not financial advice.
OBF channel history
OBF opened its YouTube channel on 6 December 2014, which makes it 11 years and 11 months old. Across that run it has published 159 videos and collected 118.7M lifetime views. YouTube does not publish historic snapshots, so the year by year split below is modelled from those lifetime totals using a standard growth curve.

OBF YouTube earnings, income and channel analysis: the full guide
How much does OBF make on YouTube per month?
To answer how much does OBF make, Branzly runs the channel's estimated 2.4M monthly views through the same ad revenue calculator used across the site: a Finance / Investing RPM of $5-$17 from 2026 niche benchmarks, with the headline figure taken at the middle of that range ($11), the same RPM used in the home page calculator. That puts OBF YouTube ad revenue at roughly $11,843 to $40,266 per month, or $142.1K to $483.2K per year from AdSense alone.
RPM is what the channel actually keeps per 1,000 views after YouTube's 45% revenue share, unfilled ad inventory and ad blockers, which is why these OBF earnings figures sit far below the advertiser-side CPM quotes you may see elsewhere. Views from Tier 1 countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia pay the most, while Shorts views pay a fraction of long-form RPM.
How much does OBF charge for a sponsorship?
On top of ad revenue, we assume one integrated-mention sponsorship per month priced on 746.3K average views per video at a Finance / Crypto cost-per-view rate of $0.02 with a 1.5× niche multiplier — the identical model in our sponsorship calculator. That suggests a OBF sponsored video is worth about $16,926 to $33,852, with a fair midpoint near $24,180.
Sponsorship pricing follows views and engagement, not subscriber count, so a large channel with a quiet video is still only paid for the views that video earns. Brands asking "how much does it cost to sponsor OBF?" should expect dedicated videos to cost two to three times an integrated mention.
OBF brand deals and channel partner retainers
Channel-level deals work differently again. A retainer is an ongoing fee for a set of deliverables each month, not the sum of every slot the channel could sell, so pricing follows published size bands. With 712.0K subscribers, OBF sits in the Large (500K-1M subs) band, where retainers typically run $10,000 to $22,000 a month. Niche demand, engagement, cadence across 3 uploads a month and how much of the audience watches each upload decide where in that band a deal lands. Spread back across uploads, that adds about $6,358 of value to each video.
OBF net worth and yearly YouTube income
Put simply, OBF YouTube earnings are estimated at roughly $42,122 to $96,119 per month when ad revenue, one sponsored integrated mention and a retainer are combined, or about $505.5K to $1.2M per year. Channels that publish more sponsored videos, sell merchandise or courses, run memberships, or earn affiliate commissions typically make more than this range.
Net worth estimates for YouTubers like OBF usually start from several years of this yearly income, minus taxes, team costs and production spend. Treat any OBF net worth figure as a planning range, not a disclosed number.
Who is OBF on YouTube?
OBF (@obfyt) is a finance YouTube channel that has published 159 videos and accumulated 118,662,131 lifetime views from an audience of 712,000 subscribers. The channel was created in December 2014, which makes it roughly 11 years and 11 months old, and it continues to publish content for viewers interested in finance topics. In the creator's own words: "I make videos. Want to reach me directly? oliver@obfproductions.com" Branzly analyses OBF using public YouTube data so creators, brands and media buyers can understand the channel's size, output and likely earning power before they reach out, benchmark against it, or plan a collaboration.
How long has OBF been active?
OBF has been on YouTube for approximately 11 years and 11 months, starting in December 2014. Across that period the channel has averaged around 14 uploads per year, which gives a useful signal about publishing consistency: channels that maintain a steady cadence typically build stronger session watch time and more predictable sponsorship inventory than channels that upload in bursts. Longevity also matters for advertisers, because an established back catalogue keeps generating views long after each video's launch week. With 159 videos in the library, OBF earns a meaningful share of its monthly views from older content rather than from new uploads alone, and that evergreen tail is one reason estimated revenue for finance channels can stay stable between releases.
OBF subscriber count and audience size
OBF currently has 712,000 subscribers, a figure that places the channel in the established mid-tier tier of YouTube creators. Total channel views stand at 118,662,131, and average views per video sit at approximately 746,303. The ratio of lifetime views to subscribers is about 166.7 views for every subscriber, which indicates a strong reach beyond the subscribed audience, typically driven by search, suggested video placements or Shorts distribution. Branzly estimates recent activity at roughly 2,368,615 views per month based on the channel's most recent uploads and publishing history, which is the number our ad revenue calculator uses to model earnings.
Most viewed videos and Shorts on OBF
The most-watched long-form video currently visible for OBF is "South Korea's Insane Plan To Survive" with 2,622,843 views. On the Shorts side, "What is the world's shortest border?" leads with 29,126 views. Top-performing titles are worth studying because they reveal which hooks, formats and topics the algorithm rewards for this audience. For brands, they also show the realistic ceiling of a sponsored placement: a dedicated integration on a channel of this size will usually land somewhere between the average video performance of 746,303 views and the outliers shown above.
Estimated OBF YouTube earnings
Based on an estimated 2,368,615 monthly views and typical finance CPM ranges, OBF could earn roughly $11,843 to $40,266 per month from YouTube ad revenue, or approximately $142.1K to $483.2K per year. These figures reflect the AdSense share only. Most channels of this size also earn from brand sponsorships, affiliate links, memberships, merchandise and product sales, so total creator income is commonly several times the advertising estimate. Sponsorship value is usually priced per view rather than per thousand impressions, and finance audiences typically command above-average rates because of advertiser demand in that vertical.
What niche and category is OBF in?
Branzly classifies OBF under the Finance category using the channel's description, keywords, topic signals and the language of its best-performing uploads. Category matters more than raw subscriber count when estimating revenue: a finance channel attracts a specific set of advertisers, and CPMs vary widely between verticals such as finance, software, education, gaming and entertainment. The channel lists DK as its primary country, which further shapes its CPM because advertiser spend differs sharply between geographies. Public channel keywords include Finance, Investing, Savings, Innovation, Stocks, Bonds, Interest Rates, Housing, which supports this classification. Use the Branzly ad revenue, sponsorship and financial freedom calculators to model how a channel like OBF converts views into monthly income, sponsorship pricing and long-term wealth.
How these numbers are produced
Every figure on this page comes from the public YouTube Data API, refreshed each time OBF is searched on Branzly. Subscriber counts, view counts and video counts are reported directly by YouTube. Monthly views are an estimate: YouTube does not publish per-month analytics for channels you do not own, so Branzly reconstructs recent performance from the views of the channel's latest uploads, falling back to lifetime views divided by channel age when recent data is sparse. Revenue ranges are modelled estimates, not disclosed earnings, and actual payouts depend on monetisation status, watch time, ad formats, seasonality, audience geography and YouTube's revenue share. Nothing on this page is financial advice, and Branzly is not affiliated with or endorsed by OBF or YouTube.
Finance YouTube RPM and CPM explained
Finance channels like OBF sit in the Finance / Investing RPM bracket. Advertisers pay more for audiences that buy — finance, business and tech pay the highest rates, while entertainment, gaming and music rely on huge view volume. Seasonality matters too: Q4 ad rates commonly run 30–50% higher than January.
