Obviously, this begs the question: How rich is she?
Apparently, Boram earns 3.7 billion Korean won (Rs. 21.51 lakh) each month!
Boram owes her staggering earnings to her two YouTube channels: Boram Tube ToyReview, where she reviews toys, and Boram Tube Vlog, which focuses on her life.
Boram Tube ToyReview has 13.6 million subscribers on YouTube while Boram Tube Vlog has 17.5 million subscribers.

Controversy
Many filed complaints against Boram's channel over its 'negative impact'

However, her popularity also has a downside as many raised concerns of child abuse.
In 2017, an NGO called Save the Children received several complaints from people who worried the YouTube channels negatively impact the emotional and ethical development of young viewers.
Instances where Boram was seen stealing money from her father's wallet and seemingly drove cars were cited in these complaints.

Interestingly, Boram isn't even the richest child YouTuber out there.
According to Forbes, Ryan ToysReview, which also reviews toys, earned a whopping $22 million (Rs. 151cr) in 2018. The channel has 20 million subscribers.
In fact, Ryan ToysReview's earnings were the highest in 2018, surpassing even the Swedish gamer Felix Kjellberg (2018 earnings: $15.5 million or Rs. 106cr), who runs YouTube's most-subscribed channel PewDiePie.
