  • YouTuber Ai Sha Sha and Nepalese yoga master Raj Karmayogi are in a dispute over profit sharing from their online courses.
  • Ai Sha Sha claims she paid Raj over NT$5 million (approx. $155,000 USD), including bonuses, while Raj insists he only received $126,000 USD.
  • The disagreement centers on whether Raj's $126,000 payment represents his total earnings or just a single bonus installment.

A heated dispute over profit sharing has erupted between Taiwanese YouTuber Ai Sha Sha and Nepalese yoga master Raj Karmayogi concerning their online course collaboration. The conflict escalated as both parties took to social media to present their versions of the financial agreement. Ai Sha Sha asserted that Raj's claim of receiving only 1% of the profits is false, stating the total amount paid to him exceeded NT$5 million (approximately $155,000 USD), including base pay and performance bonuses.

However, Raj Karmayogi countered Ai Sha Sha's claims, accusing her of taking all the profits and disrespecting their partnership. He presented a profit-sharing table, insisting that the total amount he received was $126,000 USD (about NT$3.78 million). He stated this figure represented all his earnings, including bonuses, which he claimed were paid to him in a single transaction.

The real betrayal is that you took all the profits and still disrespected us!

The core of the disagreement lies in the interpretation of the $126,000 figure. Ai Sha Sha argued that this amount was merely the "4th installment of bonus profit sharing" and challenged Raj to release all invoices, implying there were more payments. Raj, in response, directly replied to a netizen's question confirming the $126,000 was his total earnings, including bonuses, and provided a tiered bonus structure table that matched this amount based on course sales reaching 36,000 participants.

With conflicting accounts, the dispute continues, with Ai Sha Sha maintaining that other invoices remain undisclosed and Raj insisting the $126,000 covers everything. The public exchange of financial documents and accusations highlights a significant breakdown in trust and communication between the collaborators.

This is everything including the bonus. They sent me all at once of course.
