MrBeast Joins Billionaire Club, Pledges to Donate Fortune

LOS ANGELES, CA — YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, reached a significant milestone this week as his net worth officially hit $1 billion. This makes him the eighth youngest billionaire in the world.

According to CelebrityNetWorth, MrBeast earns approximately $50 million monthly from various income streams. Just a few months ago, he appeared on Steven Bartlett’s podcast, where he revealed that while he identifies as a billionaire, he maintains a modest bank account, stating, “In my actual bank account, I have less than one million. I try to pay myself what I spend personally, a month, just to stay even.”

To celebrate his billionaire status, MrBeast shared playful photos on Instagram, holding stacks of cash, reminiscent of his comedic alter ego, MrLean, a character known for its humorous flexibility. In his post, he humorously remarked, “You guys can stop asking me to recreate the meme now.”

MrBeast has been vocal about his intentions to donate his fortune, emphasizing his desire to make a positive impact. In a 2019 post on X, he shared, “My main goal in life is to just make a bunch of money, and then give it all away while doing as much good as possible before I die.” This sentiment was echoed in January 2023, when he promised to give away every penny of his wealth.

With over 500 million followers across social media platforms, MrBeast is the most followed creator globally. He has 396 million subscribers on YouTube and significant followership on Twitter and Instagram. His income sources include YouTube stunt videos, brand partnerships, merchandise, and ventures like MrBeast Burger and Feastables.

In a 2024 estimate by Forbes, MrBeast’s net worth was reported at $85 million, and recent court documents revealed he earned $223 million in 2023. Projections indicate he could make $700 million in 2024. As he continues to rise in wealth, MrBeast remains committed to his mission of philanthropy.
