Trick shots are some of the coolest viral videos on the internet. It could be a half-court shot in basketball or a ping-pong ball bouncing off a wall into a cup. The YouTube channel, Dude Perfect, took advantage of the trick shot and perfected the concept into a successful channel with millions of subscribers.

The Dude Perfect crew has pulled off some amazing shots and even broke some records in the process. The question remains: how much money does Dude Perfect make off their trick shot videos? Here’s what the net worth of the members of Dude Perfect looks like.

I’m really in shock on how much money they have made…

What is Dude Perfect?

Dude Perfect is a YouTube channel and American sports entertainment company. Founded in 2009, the channel currently has 54.1 million subscribers, making it the most-subscribed sports channel on YouTube. According to FanBuzz, Dude Perfect has more subscribers than “NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL’s YouTube channels”.

The five members are Coby Cotton, Cory Cotton, Garrett Hilbert, Cody Jones, and Tyler Toney. The “dudes” first became popular for their basketball trick shot videos but now make an assortment of videos for their channel. Twins Coby & Cory came up with the name after one of them uttered the phrase “dude, perfect” during one of their videos.

Dude Perfect was formed when these five former high school basketball players met while studying at Texas A&M University. As roommates, they made bets on trick shots. One of the trick shots was uploaded to YouTube with the title “Backyard Edition: Our First Video.” The video got up to 200,000 views within a week.

The dudes then posted a trick shot video from a summer camp, Sky Ranch, and garnered 20 million views. After ESPN asked Dude Perfect to film something, the dudes went to Texas A&M’s football field, Kyle Field, and hit a basketball shot from the third deck. This shot set the record for the longest basketball shot as the ball soared for 3.9 seconds. So they are pretty lucky!
