Does anyone know why my finalized earnings are MUCH higher than estimated (youtube)

My estimated was roughly a buck (don't laugh, its just a hobby). But I do realise that I did have a very high RPM (4$). But that's it. My estimated was 1$, and it ended up at 30$. Maybe my loyal fanbase likes me more than I think? But its finalized, since Google is sending me a PIN (10$ in order to have it happen) so I think's that what I'm making. And no I didn't make any "special videos". Maybe my account just has high earnings, but I mean its extremely high!

Rpm of 4 bucks is pretty high.. Maybe your video has a connection to one specific product/advertiser and he was willing to pay more for their ads..
