YouTube Earnings
The Chris Bumstead YouTube channel has ammased nearly 2 MILLION subscribers, which seems to be growing more rapid each month. The views in the last 12 months have almost doubled and Chris consistently gets 500k + views on each one of his videos. This is the main factor when calculating the Youtube earnings, as many channels have high subscribers but average around 100k-200k views. In our article detailing the net worth for Mike Rashid, we analyised his Youtube channel and despite having more subscribers he had less monthyl viewers.
This surge in popularity for Cbum means that some of his videos have frequently broke into the 1 million+ views which puts him in a great position for ad revenue.
Based on these figures, we can calculate Chris Bumstead to earn around $325,000-$360,000 per year from his Youtube channel alone. This is taking in to account he pays a full time videographer and video editor to help him produce the content.
Raw Nutrition
In september 2021 Cbum officially joined Raw Nutrition as a co-owner of the business. Talks of this were already in place before Raw Nutrition was founded, but Chris was already in a contract with Jacked Factory at the time.
Since joining the team at Raw, Chris has released his own line of supplements and drawn huge attention to the brand including the apparel side of the business. Raw nutrition sells wholesale to over 164 brick and mortar stores across the US now, with 20% of total sales coming direct through their online shop. Raw nutrition supplements can also be purchased through many online ecom stores.
Raw Fitness has grown to become a huge success, with revenue estimates of around $5,000,000 – $5,500,000 so far. This has to go towards stock, warehousing, shipping and all other business expenses + paying the 30+ employees & athletes.
After all this is calculated, we can expect to add around $800,000 to Chris Bumstead net worth from Raw Nutrition.
CBUM Fitness Merch Website
This is Chris’s personal site, selling his popular clothing line which mainly features the T-shirts we often see him wearing. The website gets around 260k visits a month in traffic, with an average ecom conversion rate of 2% this gives us around 5200 monthly orders with an average value of $35 per order.
This puts the CBUM Fitness site at $182k monthly turnover and somewhere around $100,000 profit per month, bringing in a yearly total of around $1.2m profit.
BUM Coaching
Chris Bumstead has a coaching platform that allows him to share his expertise gained during his Mr Olypmpia career so far. This can either be paid in a yearly payment of $75.99 or $8.99 per month. Currently the app has around 20k downloads, which nets him around $150,000 a year from coaching.
The Cbum app includes daily workouts, “exclusive content” and the chance to be part of the Cbum community of like minded people.
The real selling point of the app is the live group calls, where Chris will answer your questions in the Facebook live private group to engage with the members of his program.
Exclusive content includes things like motivational videos, instructional workout videos and lifestyle vlogs exploring the Chris Bumstead day-to-day life.
What Does Chris Spend His Fortune On?
Cbums House
Well, the main thing you would expect from a high net worth individual like Chris Bumstead, is to buy a home. In April of 2020 that’s exactly what he did, roughly setting him back around $500,000 which is a lot of money when you’re buying a house on your own. Although Chris Bumstead has a girlfriend (Courtney King) he is thought to have purchased the home in his own name.
Cbums Truck
Cbum also drives his iconic 1978 Ford F-150 Lariat which set him back roughly $50k at the time of purchase. For a 1970s Ford, the truck is in great condition, with no rusting and the original interior intact. Chris has plans to lower the truck and possibly respray the truck, but for now the thing is a beast and looks great the way it is. No doubt, if it’s kept in good condition then the F-150 Lariat will increase in value over the years.
