Just one upload could've changed the creator's life
It turns out that the ‘fireplace’ video which has over 10 million views on YouTube has made a mind-blowing amount of money over the years.
It’s a simple clip of a crackling fireplace that makes any living room look much more cosy, especially during the festive season.
That is what makes the YouTube video so popular, earning millions of views every year.
The super long videos of a roaring fireplace spike in their views during the winter months, but how much money do they earn?

Well, one social media user has done a deep dive into the financial data of one video in particular which was published by Fireplace 10 Hours on the video sharing app.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, to share his findings, the user who is known online as @Jeremybtc, wrote: “Bro is set for life.”
In the graph shared with the post, it details the estimated earnings for the channel as the views of the video can be seen steadily increasing from when it was first made back in 2016.
The total estimated earnings came in at a whopping $1.248 million.
And people were left in shock that just one video could earn that kind of cash, especially a video of just a fireplace.
One person wrote: “1M+ from one single vid is insane.”
While another said: “It’s crazy how things like this can make you generational wealth.”
And a third added: “Bro posted once and retired.”
While a fourth said: “Crazy how the most random thing can go viral and make you rich.”
There are many ways to make money via YouTube, but many creators do so via ad revenue.
YouTube explains that creators can ‘earn ad revenue from display, overlay and video ads that run on your channel’.
Meanwhile, there's also the option to earn a portion of a subscriber's fee when they watch the content.
YouTube add: “Advertising is the most common way for Creators to earn money on YouTube. Advertising revenue is generated when people watch ads that are running on videos. This revenue from ads is shared between YouTube and the creator – thus empowering Creators to directly profit from their work.
“Creators must first be eligible for the YouTube Partner Programme (YPP) in order to earn money from advertising on their videos and live streams. In keeping with our commitment to responsibility, we view monetisation as a privilege and reward only trusted Creators.”
