Exactly, he may live not live in a mansion but I'm sure he has lots of cash in the bank.
Certainly...

Gary Eats is probably earning roughly:
£5,000–£10,000 per month from YouTube ads
Possibly £10k–£15k+ total including sponsorships/freebies/other platforms
Main reasons:
Around 450k+ subscribers
Likely 4–6 million monthly views
Food channels usually earn decent ad rates compared with gaming or prank content
Big caveat:
If most views are Shorts, earnings could be much lower
Viral long-form videos pay far better
In short:
Comfortable full-time income, but probably not “Dubai penthouse and rented Lamborghini” money. More “nice semi-detached in Essex and an air fryer the size of a tumble dryer.”
What would he earn for one video with 650K Views in the 1st 24 hours
If a video did 650,000 views in 24 hours, a realistic estimate is:
£500–£1,500 if it’s mostly Shorts traffic
£2,000–£5,000+ if it’s a normal long-form review video with strong UK/US viewers
For his sort of channel, I’d guess:
Around £2k–£4k for that one video
…just from YouTube ads.
Me thinks he doth protest too much.
