nctnico:
The ideal amount of money is enough.  8)

Too little or too much is problematic.

Ed.Kloonk:
Lets see what happens from here.

Its a typical Linus publicity stunt.
He did same saying he was leaving the youtube show.
Turned out he was just giving the crap work to someone else and just doing the shows on youtube.

$100M ? for what a youtube channel ? While youtube channels make money its not worth any where near $100M.

Well, LTT has like 7 YT channels, a merchandise store, a brand and runs LAN parties.

All together the main YouTube channel has 15.6 million subscribers over 7.2 billion views.  In terms of YouTube revenue alone that's probably some $5 million per year.  Add in sponsorship money and store sales and you're looking at least around $10 million per year.

So a $100 million valuation does sound pretty fair.  Obviously it requires the buyer to take care of the channel and the brand to make it worthwhile, but it seems eminently reasonable.

SiliconWizard:
Linus's company is not just about the YT channel, even though it's one of its main vectors. It has surprisingly over 100 employees. It's a pretty big business.
I've seen tech companies designing and selling pretty advanced products, with about the same number of employees, sold for less than this, but $100M is not as unrealistic as you make it sound.
Definitely not your average "YT channel".
