Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) is estimated to earn $1,360 to $4,534 a month from X (formerly Twitter) creator payouts, if enrolled in Original Content Rewards. Astrophysicist whose short science posts are widely quoted.
That figure comes from roughly 15M followers posting about 5 times a week, which we model at around 121.2M impressions a month. The audience is mostly us / canada and the niche is typical mix, which together set the applied rate at $11.22 to $37.40 per million impressions, including a 1.9× volume premium because Premium-subscriber engagement concentrates under the biggest accounts.
Within Science & Education, that is below the median tracked account in the category, at about 55% of it. Engagement is classified as high, which sets how far each post travels beyond the follower count itself.
