Linus Tech Tips is one of the most well-known tech channels on YouTube. However, the channel could have looked very different if Linus Sebastian had accepted a deal. In a conversation, he explains that he has no regrets about the decision to this day.
Linus Sebastian is the head of Linus Media Group, which also includes his famous tech channel “Linus Tech Tips”. In a conversation in the latest episode of “Wan Show”, he explained that an unbeatable offer had been made for his then-young channel.
9-figure amount for YouTube channel, but how much, Linus does not reveal
He does not get very specific. He neither mentions a specific purchase price nor reveals the potential buyer. But he explains that he does not regret rejecting the offer:
No, no. I don’t really regret it, I was afraid that I would. I was worried. Have I ever said how much the offer was? Well, it was not six figures, and it was not seven figures. It was certainly not five or less… it was also not eight.
However, the offer is said to have been made to him before Linus Media Group grew to the size it is today. Now, Linus Media Group and the associated YouTube channels are likely worth significantly more.
Here you can see the entire conversation from Linus on YouTube:
Since 2013, a total of 9 different channels have belonged to the group, of which “Linus Tech Tips” is certainly the most well-known offshoot. The offer also shows how much money such a channel can be worth.
One of his last major actions was testing a gaming PC. Here he disassembled an expensive gaming PC from Starforge Systems. That is the company of Asmongold and other big streamers.
