Have you ever wondered who are the biggest companies on Upwork in terms of spending?

featured image - Top 100 Highest Paying Upwork Clients

Hope you enjoyed the holidays, my fellow freelancers!

Here’s how we’re gonna do it. First, go through this list with your eyes wide shut. Then, there’ll be a FAQ section at its end. That’s gonna reduce the number of comments and save me time to finish binging the second season of Squid Game.

I ain’t saying I got them all, but if you have some additional ones, leave a comment.

FAQ your FAQs:

YOUR QUESTION: Is this list accurate?

MY ANSWER: Nope. These companies have spent more in the meantime.

YOUR QUESTION: Is it legal to publish this list?

MY ANSWER: Yup. This is publicly available information. You can log in right away or create an account on Upwork and use the filter to see how much clients have spent. According to Upwork ToS, every client and/or freelancer has the right to disclose or keep it private how much they have spent/earned.

YOUR QUESTION: What am I supposed to do with this list?

MY ANSWER: Dunno. Use your imagination.

YOUR QUESTION: Is it ethical to publish this list?

MY ANSWER: It’s not ethical for Upwork to charge for everything and anything both clients and freelancers. I wrote a series of articles about it.

YOUR QUESTION: Is it fair to Upwork?

MY ANSWER: It ain’t fair to lay off 21% of Upwork employees to save $60M.

YOUR QUESTION: Is Upwork going to like it?

MY ANSWER: I don’t care.

YOUR QUESTION: What’s the point?

MY ANSWER: It’s easy to ask questions and find answers online about how much you can earn on Upwork or what’s the most money some freelancer has ever made, but it’s a different story when it comes to clients and how much they spend.

YOUR QUESTION: Aren’t you afraid that this list may potentially get you “Epsteined?”

MY ANSWER: I can only hope, but I’m not afraid. Batman has my back. As you can see (attached image), I’m currently selling stuff to survive at my local flea market. My first neighbor is no other than Mr. Wayne. That’s why I ain’t complaining, Wayne Entreprises is going through some tough times too. You can’t see Bruce while I’m looking after his company’s stuff. It’s his turn to get a coffee. Forget what you saw in the movies, he can be so stingy.
