Tubbo (real name: Tobias Smith) is a Twitch streamer and YouTuber who exploded in popularity in 2020. He’s one of the members of the Dream SMP server and is good friends with Thomas Simons (TommyInnit), also one of the most popular Twitch streamers. As of today, he is 18 years old but is already very successful in his gaming career, mostly streaming Minecraft.
Tubbo is one of those creators where the headline numbers (followers, subs, viral moments) can make his income look either wildly inflated or weirdly “low,” depending on what month you look at. The truth is: his earnings spike hard during marathon events (like Tubbathon), then normalize when he’s streaming less.
Quick Answer (best estimate)
Tubbo’s net worth is best estimated at ~$1.9 million, with a realistic range of $1.2 million to $2.7 million.
That range reflects how creator income swings year-to-year, plus the fact that Tubbo hasn’t publicly published detailed financials (so any number online is an estimate).
Why that estimate is reasonable (the short version)
-
He’s proven he can generate six figures in a single high-intensity month. Streams Charts estimated his 2023 subathon ended around 40K subs and about $104K from subs for that run (subs only, not counting ads/donations). Streams Charts
-
He still has massive platform reach, with ~5.2M Twitch followers and a long-running YouTube presence. Wikipedia
-
Net worth ≠ revenue. After taxes, costs, and “quiet months,” a mid–mid-single-digit million gross career earnings profile often lands in the low-single-digit millions net worth (depending on spending + investing habits).
Who is Tubbo?
Toby Smith (real name: Tobias Smith) is an 18-year-old popular English Twitch streamer and YouTuber from the UK. Toby aka Tubbo started streaming on Twitch on May 15, 2018, on his channel: Tubbo.
Toby was born on December 23, 2003 (zodiac sign: Capricorn), in England. Little is known about his family, but he has two sisters: Lani and Teagan. Lani is also a gamer who appeared on his stream where he called her Tubbling (combination of Tubbo + sibling).
Toby Smith finished high school but is not pursuing his college degree at the moment because he wanted to focus on his streaming career. His marital status is single and he isn’t currently dating anyone.
Twitch
Toby has two Twitch channels: Tubbo as his main channel where he dedicates it to playing Minecraft only, and a second Twitch channel named TubboLive where Tubbo streamed different games and IRL streams.
Before he became a popular English Minecraft streamer, just like others he started at the bottom. When he joined Twitch in 2018 with the Twitch handler Blue Turtle, he only had an average of 9 viewers per stream. In 2019, he had an average of 21 viewers per stream. His Twitch career started booming when his friend TommyInnit (Thomas Simons) raided his stream. They were friends even before both of them became popular.
In 2020, Toby joined the Dream SMP server, one of the most popular Minecraft servers. Since then his Twitch channel skyrocketed and now has accumulated more than 6 million followers on his two channels: Tubbo and Tubbo Live.
Games that Tubbo Plays
Tubbo plays Minecraft most of the time. However, he plays other games on his second channel such as Valorant, CS: Go, and Fortnite.
Toby has an upcoming Minecraft network for Java and Bedrock players which will be named TubNet. This network’s purpose is to opt for different Minecraft mods like Bedwars and Skyblock, so that platforms such as XBOX, PS4, PC, and mobile can connect. There is still no news as to when this network will be launched, but we all hope it’s soon.
Tubbo Net Worth – How They Made Money
Tubbo’s income isn’t one “salary.” It’s multiple revenue streams that stack differently depending on how active he is.
1) Twitch subscriptions (biggest swing factor)
Subs are the engine during long streams and community events. Twitch Partners typically earn a revenue split that varies by tier, and can vary by contract (and local sub pricing can change how much a sub pays out). StreamScheme
A clean example of Tubbo’s earning power here:
-
During his 2023 subathon, Streams Charts estimated he finished around 40K subs and earned about $104K from subs for that run. Streams Charts
If you want the mechanics behind that math, see our breakdown of how Twitch payouts work (sub splits, tiers, and what creators actually keep).
2) Twitch ads (steady, but usually not the main event)
Ads are typically meaningful for consistently high CCV channels, but on Twitch they’re often more “baseline” income than a creator’s main driver. StreamScheme’s own guide uses a commonly-cited Twitch ad rate example around $3.50 CPM (creator-side depends on delivery + region + fill). StreamScheme
If you want to tighten this section on the page, link to our Twitch affiliate ads guide and keep the copy focused on why ads are secondary to subs for most creators.
3) YouTube ad revenue (often underrated for streamers)
Tubbo’s YouTube is a long-term asset: older videos keep earning (even if he uploads less). Wikipedia lists his YouTube handle with stats updated Sept 30, 2025. Wikipedia
The exact number depends on upload frequency, views, RPM, and niche. For most creators, YouTube becomes a “catalog income” stream that helps smooth out Twitch’s volatility.
4) Sponsorships (high leverage when he’s active)
Even if sponsorship details aren’t always public, creators at Tubbo’s size typically earn meaningful money from:
-
integrated reads during streams
-
branded YouTube segments
-
event-based partnerships

5) Merch + music + appearances
Tubbo has released music on major platforms (e.g., Spotify lists releases including “Life By The Sea”). Spotify
Music income varies wildly, but it’s still a legitimate additional stream (plus live appearances/events can add to the overall picture).
6) Side projects (TubNet and other ventures)
Tubbo was involved in the Minecraft server TubNet, which launched in late 2022 and later went on hiatus in early 2024. Wikipedia
Projects like this can be cost centers before they ever become profit centers, so it’s better to frame them as “brand expansion + experimentation,” not guaranteed income.
Net worth estimate: how we’re calculating it
Most net worth posts online do this badly: they grab a random “net worth” number and call it a day.
Here’s the cleaner way to present it:
Step 1: Anchor to a verified earning snapshot
Tubbo’s 2023 subathon provides a rare, semi-quantified data point: ~$104K from subs estimated for that run. Streams Charts
That tells us two important things:
-
His audience can support huge subscriber volume in peak moments.
-
His income is event-driven (meaning annual income varies a lot).
Step 2: Add reasonable annualized ranges (not a single “salary”)
A creator with Tubbo’s reach can plausibly land anywhere from:
-
lower six figures in a quieter year
to -
mid-to-high six figures (or more) in a year with major marathon streams + sponsors.
Step 3: Convert income → net worth responsibly
Net worth is what’s left after:
-
taxes
-
management/editor costs
-
business expenses
-
lifestyle spending
-
investments/savings
That’s why we land on: ~$1.9M best estimate (range $1.2M–$2.7M).
How Much Does Tubbo Earn From Twitch?
With a collective of over 6 million subscribers from his two Twitch channels, Tubbo earns about $140,000 to $153,000 a month, supposing Tubbo earns $3.50 per subscriber from a $5 monthly fee. This estimated revenue is from streaming on Twitch alone. He has an average of 40 thousand Twitch subscribers each month. As of March 2022, he has 43, 792 active subscribers. Assuming all his subscribers are Tier 1, Tubbo’s estimated net worth is $1.3 million to $1.5 million per annum on Twitch alone from his subscribers. Moreover, he also earns from ads on his streams. With an average of 21,000 viewers per stream and assuming he earns with a CPM of $2 per 1,000 views, he would roughly earn $42,000 from the ad revenue supposed he streams once a month.
How Much Does Tubbo Earn From YouTube?
