What is MrBeast’s net worth in 2024? Jimmy Donaldson is the most followed YouTuber in the world, here’s who he is and how much he earns.
MrBeast is one of the richest YouTubers in the world, as well as one of the most famous. His main channel boasts over 237 million subscribers, without taking into account the 30 more YouTube channels linked to his name. Thanks to his outstanding fame, MrBeast also achieved a stunning net worth.
Jimmy Donaldson (MrBeast’s real name) reached his internet fame with insanely expensive videos. Just one upload on MrBeast’s main channel can have a multimillion-dollar budget, all for a 10/15 minute video.
Moreover, Jimmy’s videos constantly break new records. Just six months ago, his video 7 days stranded at sea broke the world record for most views in 24 hours at 113 million.
So let’s estimate MrBeast’s net worth, also taking a look at who he really is.
Who is MrBeast
Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, was born in Kansas in 1998 and currently lives in North Carolina. His early years were not much different from other teenagers of his generation.
Like many other YouTubers who today are multi-millionaires (like PewdiePie, Ninja, and Markiplier), Jimmy’s advantage was starting up early.
His first video was uploaded in 2012 when he was just 14 years old.
Over time, his fame has grown in proportion to his epic videos. His first successful video dates back to 2017 and is titled "I counted to 100,000".
Thanks to this video, the US YouTuber reached a million views for the first time. With success, Donaldson has chosen not to continue his studies after graduating high school, so he could focus on his digital creator career.
In general, MrBeast’s videos are based on a form of entertainment that features two main formats: the first involves challenges, in which he tests himself by trying to do absurd things, while the second sees him spending large amounts of money in the most disparate ways.
These formats have brought him much luck: today, 11 years after his debut, his YouTube channel has 237 million subscribers, 775 videos, and 42 billion views, very impressive figures.
With the growth of his popularity and financial availability, MrBeast had the opportunity to shoot some videos that earned him internet fame. One of the most recent is "1,000 blind people see for the first time", in which the YouTuber paid for a delicate eye operation to allow 1,000 people to see again.
In addition to his main channel, Donaldson also owns dozens of other YouTube channels in 8 different languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French, Arabic, Indu, and Japanese). His 4 most notable channels outside the main one are:
- MrBeast2 (33.6.7million subscribers);
- Beast Reacts (32.2 million subscribers);
- MrBeast Gaming (41.7 million subscribers);
- MrBeast Philanthropy (22.2 million subscribers).
On this last channel, the YouTuber shares his social actions with his followers. Some of his famous charitable videos published on the main channel are: "I Built 100 Wells In Africa", "1,000 Blind People See For The First Time" and "I Donated $300,000 To People in Need".
All of these were preceded by an event that had a very strong media echo in the United States: in 2019, together with a NASA engineer, MrBeast organized a fundraiser called #TeamTrees to plant trees.
In a short time, the collection, made in support of the Arbor Day Foundation, reached 22 million dollars, in addition to the participation of important entrepreneurs, including Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey.
To this day, given the quality and scope of his videos, MrBeast is considered a film producer. Over time, he has built up a real team that helps him with all aspects of production, from video previews to editing.
What is MrBeast net worth
It’s not at all easy to calculate MrBeast’s net worth. His channels keep growing and his videos are ever more expensive. Other than YouTube, Donaldson owns several businesses like a fast food chain, which increases his fortune.
Today MrBeast’s net worth is estimated at around $500 million.
The reason for this decline is likely the increase in the cost of his videos on his many channels. Most notably, his $456,000 Squid Game In Real Life video is today at 532 million views, which would be a lot if it wasn’t that, according to some estimates, the production of that video cost $21.4 million.
In this particular video, Donaldson recreated the setting of Squid Game, a popular Netflix Series. Therefore, this video might be an outlier in terms of cost, but all his other content is wildly expensive as well.
For this reason, MrBeast’s net worth is subject to constant change.
