YouTuber 'becomes millionaire' despite only ever posting one video 9 years ago

When you think of millionaire YouTubers, the likes of MrBeast and KSI instantly pop into mind - but there's actually someone completely unknown who's said to have made that much cash from one singular video.

They're not a huge internet presence nor an influencer, and they don't churn out mind-blowing content with a big production value.

The person in question has only ever produced one video, which was nine years ago and it has since been viewed a whopping 157 million times - and we really don't think you'd be able to guess what it is.

The content that has reportedly made someone a millionaire is simply a 10-hour-long video of a fireplace crackling and burning away, called: "Fireplace 10 hours full HD."

The channel itself is also just called the same thing, as it only has the one video available to watch.

It's literally what it says on the tin, a video of a fire burning that people would whack on the telly for a bit of ambience in the background while they're doing chores, having guests over, are reading, or anything else you might not want to do in silence.

It's no secret that a fireplace makes a room way more cosy and adds some ambience, but of course it's not accessible for everyone to have one.

Those who can't fork out the cash or simply don't want to get an actual fireplace fitted would much rather instil the cosy vibes into their living rooms and bedrooms using their TV.

And while there are quite a few of these videos out there now, this particular one has the added benefits of being 10 hours long, so you don't need to restart it if you want it on overnight while you're sleeping, for example.

But people are losing their minds after someone pointed out the amount this YouTuber would have apparently earned from their singular video.

In a now-viral post, one Twitter user shared a photo of the channel and its estimated earnings, alongside the caption: "Bro is set for life."

An estimated earnings graph showed how the video's views have steadily risen since it was first uploaded in 2016.

The supposed total came in at a mind-blowing $1.248 million (around £927,000).

Shocked, one person wrote: "Bro might have found the loophole in squeezing max monetization on youtube..."

A second agreed: "Bro is printing money."

Another added: "Infinite money glitch."

Someone else questioned: "I’m so perplexed rn like what made him think about this?"

According to Dexerto, other social media users predicted the channel could have made between $500,000 and $800,000.

There are numerous ways to make money on YouTube, but most creators bring in cash via ad revenue from different overlay and display ads that play on and during their content.

As per MailOnline, YouTube stated: "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."
