News of the Coronavirus/COVID-19
rapidly spreading around the globe has made many people go into a state of
fear, looking for answers from medical practitioners and political
figures.
However, nowadays, you don’t necessarily need to go to
your GP to get answers. Some doctors have created an online platform on YouTube
and social media to speak about medical issues and answer the questions most
people have.
With that in mind, OnBuy.com sought to find out
the most popular medics of YouTube and how much they make monthly from sharing
their knowledge via online videos.
OnBuy.com gathered data using a tool created by Sellfy, which calculates the estimated minimum and maximum monthly revenue
they earn from ads and selling their
merchandise.
So, who are the famous doctors spreading awareness
online, while earning a fortune for it?
First on the list is Doctor Mikhail Varshavski,
also known as Doctor Mike.
The American-Russian doctor is not only famous for his
medical advice, but also for his great looks. In fact, both traits have earned
him over 5 million followers on YouTube, and an estimated extra half a
million pounds in his bank account monthly.
In the midst of the Covid-19 outbreak, he is urging
his viewers to be ‘alert not panicked’ and is giving the latest updates
on the virus.
Second and third on the list are two fellow USA based
doctors, Dr. Eric Bern DC, and the famous TV star Doctor Oz, both
making over £120,000 from their YouTube channels.
In fourth place is Russian-based, Dr. Vivek Joshi,
earning an estimated £21,757 monthly. This is a huge leap from the top
three positions, however still a considerable sum.
Dr Hope’s Sick Notes
comes fifth. The UK based doctor and YouTuber makes approximately £16,281,
from his videos monthly. Two other brits make the top 10 list; The Doctor’s
Kitchen (£1,661) and The Junior Doctor (£1,567).

is 6th on the list (£5,420), followed by Dr Levi Harrison
from the USA (£2,482) and Doctor Raga from the United Arab
