KSI’s estimated earnings from YouTube were inadvertently leaked on the most recent episode of Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.

The 32-year-old, real name Olajide Olatunji, is one of Britain's most influential online creators with around 75 million followers across all social platforms, including YouTube.

'JJ' has come along since filming his now-iconic FIFA 12 'Race to Division One' series, which was called his "magnum opus" and a "masterpiece" by those who followed his early work.

As well as reaching 17 million subscribers on his main YouTube channel, KSI has co-founded Misfits Boxing and co-owns numerous brands, including Prime Hydration and Lunchly.

He has also featured on numerous mainstream TV shows over the years, with his latest appearance coming on the BBC programme Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, which was filmed in November.

Here, McIntyre took control of KSI's phone during the popular ‘Send to All’ segment.

The segment typically involves McIntyre accessing a guest's phone to message everyone in their contact book but before doing so, the comedian often scrolls through various apps.

On this occasion, he decided to access YouTube Studio, which proceeded to reveal KSI's estimated earnings to be $105,000 over the previous 28 days.

McIntyre apologised for revealing the financial information, although he described the earnings as "very impressive". KSI replied: "Thank you, thank you. I’ve been working hard.”

KSI surprises viewers after revealing how much he turned down to fight Jake Paul

On a recent podcast appearance, KSI claimed he turned down an eight-figure sum to fight Jake Paul.

The YouTube personality has called out the American on several occasions over the years. Back in 2022, he offered Paul the chance to appear on the undercard of his Misfits bout against Alex Wassabi, which was later cancelled.

A year later, it looked like a match-up was in the pipeline until it was announced that former UFC welterweight contender Nate Diaz would face off against Paul, who was looking to bounce back from a defeat against Tommy Fury.

Paul has also flirted with the idea of coming up against KSI.

However, in a recent podcast episode with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, the Brit poured cold water over a bout happening in the future as he claimed to be "done" with boxing.

Olatunji also revealed that he turned down "30 million" to fight Paul.

"My fight with Tommy Fury... all the money I made, I gave it to my trainers. All of it. For me, I don't do stuff for this," he began.

"I've been offered 20 million to fight Jake Paul, 30 million to fight Jake Paul. These guys can't give me any amount of money to fight this guy. When it comes to boxing, I'm done.

"I tried. My main goal when I got into the boxing ring again was to fight Jake Paul and build Misfits. I built Misfits, tried to fight Jake Paul time and time and time again, but there was excuse after excuse after excuse.

"Instead of Tommy Fury, I was there ready to fight Jake Paul. I was ready. I was there. And instead he fought Nate Diaz. And at that point, I had to fight Tommy Fury."

"I tried to build up again, to then try and fight Jake," added Olatunji. "And then he was just getting heavier and heavier and heavier, trying to move the goalposts when it comes to weight. Then it got to the point where I was like, 'What am I doing, man?'"
