How much is Drew Binsky Worth? Drew Binsky Net Worth in 2026
Drew Binsky’s net worth is estimated at $4 million as of November 2026. His first 300 videos earned nothing, then a five-hour shoot about a Bangkok burger maker brought in about $10,000. This one is a rough estimate: little of the money is documented. Binsky, born Drew Goldberg, visited all 197 countries and now has more than 7 million YouTube subscribers and a payroll to feed.

How much is Drew Binsky worth in 2026?
Our figure is $4 million, in a range of $2 million to $7 million. His own numbers stop in 2021, and the recent sponsorship numbers come from a tracker’s estimate. So the ledger leans on assumptions, and it says where.
Public estimates vary because most quote gross income as if it were savings. He told CNBC in 2021 that a team of about 23 made his salary bill high, and he pays for most of his own travel. Take those out, then tax, and a seven-figure year shrinks fast.
How Drew Binsky built it
- Made 300 videos for no pay. His first 300 videos earned nothing before the burger video paid about $10,000.
- Turned one goal into a brand. He spent nearly ten years visiting all 197 countries and filming it.
- Hired a team early. He had about 23 people on the payroll by 2021, by his own account.

| Source | Our estimate | What it rests on |
|---|---|---|
| Income kept, 2018 to 2021 | $650,000 | More than $154,000 in 2018. Assumption: $300,000, $500,000 and $700,000 for the next three years, a gross of about $1.65 million. After 40 percent costs and 35 percent tax, about $650,000. |
| Ads, 2022 to 2026 | $3.46 million | $20,000 to $40,000 a month from YouTube, with Facebook similar. Assumption: $60,000 a month combined, or $720,000 a year for 4.8 years. |
| Sponsored videos, 2022 to 2026 | $7.2 million | Assumption: $1.5 million a year for 4.8 years, a climb from about $500,000 in 2022 to the $2.55 million midpoint of a tracker’s estimate of $1.7 million to $3.4 million for the past 12 months. |
| Team and travel costs | minus $4.26 million | Assumption: 40 percent of the $10.66 million in the two rows above, given a team of 23. |
| Income tax | minus $2.24 million | Assumption: 35 percent of the $6.4 million left. |
| Book, courses, merchandise, Netflix | $300,000 | Assumption. His book Just Go came out in 2024, and courses sold for $150. He called merchandise not very profitable. |
| Living costs | minus $1 million | Assumption: $200,000 a year for 5 years. He says he eats street food and stays in simple hotels. |
| Total | $4.11 million | Rounded to $4 million. Almost every row is an assumption built on his 2019 and 2021 interviews. |
A whole year of 2018, two videos at a time
In 2018 he made a little over $154,000 from every source combined. By 2021 he was charging $15,000 to $30,000 per sponsored video. The tracker’s October 2026 estimate is $74,000 to $148,000 per video, on about 3.7 million views an upload and 23 sponsored uploads in a year. By our math, one or two sponsored videos now earn what all of 2018 did: $154,000 divided by $148,000 is about 1, and divided by $74,000 is about 2.
Those are benchmarks, and the tracker says so. It infers sponsors from the videos, and it counts 41 sponsored videos in the channel’s history, so the earlier years were thinner. Still, the shape holds against what he reported himself: at the 2021 rates, 23 videos would have brought $345,000 to $690,000. Sponsors look like the part that grew.
$5,000 at the Olympics, $2,000 an hour in Bangkok
He started with $2,000 a month teaching English in South Korea, with free housing. Brands then paid him to make Snapchat stories, including $5,000 for the Rio Olympics, for about $30,000 over a year. Then the burger video: about $10,000 for five hours of work, or $2,000 an hour by our calculation. It stayed his top-earning video for the next 18 months.
The country count was the product, and it wasn’t cheap to make. A February 2022 interview puts the trip at nearly ten years, about 1,500 flights and 1,100 bus and train rides. Tourism boards covered some of it, and he paid for almost everything else.
Netflix, and what could change the number
The newest money event is a Netflix arrangement reported on September 4, 2026: a selection of his videos from September 19, with new uploads reaching Netflix the same day as YouTube. No fee has been reported for him, though the same report mentions seven-digit payments for creators in general. If he got $1 million, our 40 percent cost and 35 percent tax assumptions would leave about $390,000, nearly a tenth of our total. A company he could sell would change the figure far more, and we found no reliable record of one.
