Over the years, he has evolved into a full-blown entertainer, even starring in Bollywood films like “Student of the Year 2.”
Harsh is not just a YouTuber anymore—he’s an actor, influencer, and entrepreneur. With over 15 million subscribers and one of the most engaged fan bases on Indian social media, Harsh continues to set new benchmarks.

Brand Value & Influence
While both creators are making impressive money, the type of influence they carry is different. Elvish Yadav appeals more to the masses, especially Hindi-speaking Tier 2 and Tier 3 audiences. His videos are often viral-worthy and dominate trending charts.
On the other hand, Harsh Beniwal has a more urban, comedy-savvy fan base and a longer history of consistent content creation. His polished editing and acting skills also make him more appealing to corporate brands and the film industry.
Who’s the Real Millionaire?
In terms of monthly earnings, both creators are neck and neck. Harsh may have a slight edge with diversified roles and long-term brand partnerships, but Elvish’s recent surge in popularity makes him a rising financial force.
If we’re talking pure YouTube revenue—Elvish might be ahead due to his consistent viral content. But when broader income streams like acting and production come into play, Harsh Beniwal holds a stronger footing.
So, who’s the real millionaire?
Both are, in their own unique way.
