Threadguy reveals that the top 10 developers on Roblox are making over $38,000,000 a year “Brother, the top 10 developers are making NBA money, they’re making Patrick Mahomes, Lebron James type of money”

In before the whole of crypto Twitter jumps into Roblox for three weeks only to find out they have 150m competitors

is being a roblox dev the new meta?

@marcell0x i mean if u can be top 10

This is exactly why i’m currently learning how to make roblox games lol

👀

If you like NFTs, Meme Coins & Games My game is perfect for you, trust me bro it’s gonna be a banger.

@Jackkk I don't think it's worth to cause because Roblox took 75% of the revenue

@Jackkk earning 25% of $100k/month doesn’t sound too bad.

@Jackkk Yeah but just remember, it's a hit or miss thing some releases on a certain games sometimes good, sometimes bad

@Jackkk just like everything else in the whole world.

brb having a long talk with my son about dropping out of school to making Roblox games

😂

wait til he finds out just 1 Fortnite dev alone made over $30mil last year

those numbers actually make sense when you see how obsessed the new generation is with roblox gaming economy looking wild next few years

Already made wearables for it a few years ago to test it all out. Massive ecosystem.

make much?

Nah not at all. Was more testing the build and what parameters it wanted you to stay within. So more about testing their process. I’d def revisit it and go ham. My son plays Roblox all day every day often with me. Been playing daily for 5 years so it’s a massive market and god knows I’ve spent 1000s there with him.

oh that’s dope

More wearables coming soon ;)

FT @notthreadguy @counterpartytv

how about the 90th-100th, what are they making?

Making things like this:

👀

$1B+ in creator payouts sounds huge until you realize roblox kept $3B+ for themselves creator-first means actually paying creators. up to 85% with $NEURAL 🤓

i can confirm this as a roblox developer (top 2,500 game, only on track to make like 90k-100k this year tho), dunno where these numbers are coming from, prob inflated due to rdc this year being full of large devs

The NBA has a salary cap; Roblox doesn't. It's wild that coding is now more lucrative than a killer crossover. These kids build digital empires with zero overhead while athletes destroy their bodies for the same check. We laughed at the Metaverse, but Gen Alpha is printing GDP. LeBron better learn Lua to keep up with these teenage tycoons.

Yeah let’s see them make some games

fyi i'm pretty sure this is from devex's lots of devs also make money from commissions doing work for other devs in exchange for BIG $ sums

for those intrested:

😭

Time to learn Roblox dev

The Open World is inevitable.

I had a business idea

In every niche and industry, there are unlimited ways to make money The real game is simple: find what you’re good at and enjoy, then go all in and become undeniable in that space

Top ten of anything noticeable is worth a lot of money

Learn to code?

that’s why i am building

Top 10 Roblox devs pulling NBA-level bags while most crypto degens are still grinding for scraps, time to dust off Studio and start building instead of buying memecoins? 👀

True, I can confirm. (Imagine all the sponsor collabs as well lmao)

Ahhh we're selling dreams again.

Building in Roblox is really amazing and fun

Mind-blowing numbers, $38.5M average for the top 10 is legitimately elite-athlete territory. What fascinates me most is the path to getting there. For anyone who's studied or built in the space: - How much of reaching that level is creative vision vs. obsessive iteration on retention & monetization loops? - Is discoverability still mostly luck/virality in 2026, or are there repeatable playbook moves now (marketing inside Roblox, cross-promo, trends timing, etc.)? - And realistically, if someone’s extremely dedicated but starting from zero today, what’s a honest multi-year timeline to even crack top 1,000 (~$1M avg)? Curious to hear from devs or people close to the ecosystem, the power law here is wild. Would love to see some real stories / breakdowns surface from this thread. 🚀

@notthreadguy Bro is finding out about Roblox in the big 26’ 🥀

That's wild. Who knew Roblox could pay like that?

Catching the eye of those not connected to the Web3 space is key! The kids playing Roblox are in, and they are not leaving. Avatars advancing is inevitable... keeping ownership of those Avatars is becoming more and more popular...

This is mind blowing

each?
