How much money does Roblox make?

Roblox offers a service that lets users develop their own games, play other people’ games, and explore user-created content.

It allows users to hang out with friends, explore virtual spaces, and play a huge array of games and content.

Furthermore, players can try their hand at making their own content, or collaborating with others to bring their vision to life.

Players on the platform can buy a digital currency, Robux, which lets them purchase special items within games.

Robux purchases allow the developers of games to earn money for their efforts.

Forbes report that a staggering $325 million was paid out to Roblox creators in 2020 alone.

They add that top Roblox creators can also make real money from their creations.

In 2020 it’s claimed that over 300 players pocketed a huge $100,000-plus.
