Just looking at Schmee on social blade, 170k, videos views down nearly 6 million a month in two years.
Does anyone really believe without being very rich yourself, all this is done off the back on a channel. I'm sure he said he had a big team as well. Running a channel at a loss to tell people how rich you are, that is pretty desperate and sad.

But he clearly couldn’t keep buying all the cars he’s doing if he wasn’t making serious money somewhere.
** Looks back at the glorious history of people seen on PH with big toy collections and no obvious/known means of income to support them. ** Usually even with YouTube types the processes of paying for it all are fairly easy to spot, so people don't fall back onto speculating 'it must come from somewhere'.

I can’t see the Shmuseum channel going much longer though, paying the least charismatic man alive (on camera, never met him) to shuffle cars around with a full time videographer surely can’t last.
By all accounts he has a team of 10 people behind the scenes not just the chuckle brothers but I agree he is awful on camera.pquinn said:

There's barely any channel sponsorship and 'merch' I would guess to be tiny.
He's on the road 24/7 for YT so time to physically manage a profitable business is in short supply so either he's got something that generates massive amounts of passive income (in which case well done) or.... who knows.
I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that YT is pretty much a hobby for him at this point and a way to immerse yourself 24/7 in cars, which tbf is what a majority of us would want in all likely hood.
If it was a 'traditional' side business people would find the details on companies house within 5min
How much revenue would someone need to support the essentially 365 day per year travel, hotels and massive fleet of cars? £1mil+?
