In another post to his YouTube community page, Daniel wrote, "I just had to change the price of the cameos due to the current situation and legal crap."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf9YOmiapwewD1rh_GNIFTQ/community?lb=Ugkx5x7oPPeb69IMWsaYne2q-QJCOcXEohYN</ref> To go along with the cost of the Cameo itself, there is also a $99 booking fee, thus bringing the total cost of a Cameo to almost $600. Later on that same day, Daniel raised the price of a single Cameo to $830. When taking into consideration the $99 booking fee, it would cost one '''almost a thousand dollars''' for a Cameo from Daniel. The price of a single Cameo from Daniel raised and lowered several more times throughout the day, at one point reaching a maximum of $1,069,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14cypn1/is_he_insane/</ref> before lowering again to $900.

There are 42 current verified reviews, and considering the prices have fluctuated greatly, assume that everyone paid $30 and everyone that bought it left a review, however unlikely this may be. Using these assumptions, one can assume that Daniel has made at least $1,260 on videos alone. Taking into consideration the $3 messages, along with the assumption that not everyone that bought a cameo left a review, Daniel has probably made well over $1,300 in Cameo sales, although this figure is mere speculation. | ||

The above figures were accurate in the beginning of June 2023.
