YouTube might be where it all started for Shane Dawson, but Celebrity Net Worth reports that in 2011 Dawson announced a partnership with Sony Pictures to develop films and series.
Dawson again took his talent outside of YouTube in 2013 with a podcast, Shane and Friends. The podcast produced 140 episodes over the course of four years. Shane and Friends was generating $15,000 per episode in 2014, making it one of the highest earning podcasts in the world.
Also in 2014 he released his first original feature film, Not Cool, and in 2015, Dawson made some of his most watched videos in a video series about conspiracy theories.
Dawson has also authored two books, I Hate Myselfie and It Gets Worse. Both books went on to become New York Times best sellers.
