If you are someone who wants to know more about MrBeast’s net worth from YouTube and his other business ventures, the following article is for you. It brings you everything we know about his YouTube channel, his journey as an entrepreneur, and his philanthropy.
MrBeast’s Successful Journey On YouTube As A Content Creator
Jimmy’s YouTube journey is nothing short of amazing and highly inspirational. According to certain reports, he first started his YouTube journey when he was 12 years old, making gaming videos for his channel “MrBeast6000.” After he completed his graduation, he took a short break to focus on content creation only. His initial videos included gaming, giving reactions, and compilations of funny videos. His major breakthrough came in 2017 when his video titled “Counting to 100,000” earned a total of 21 million views. The video took him 44 hours to make, and since its success, he started focusing on posting bizarre challenge videos like reading the entire dictionary.
By the year 2018, he gained immense popularity for stunt philanthropy where he created attention-grabbing videos like giving away hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars to strangers. Currently, MrBeast has over 396 million subscribers on YouTube and has around 83.1 billion views.
MrBeast’s Net Worth Crosses the $1 Billion Mark
The Forbes Top Creators list, which was released in 2024, recognised MrBeast as the number one creator on YouTube in the world. Forbes estimated Jimmy Donaldson’s net worth in 2025 at $85 million. However, MrBeast Burgers faced a court case in 2024, and the filings revealed his net worth stood at $223 million in 2023 and was on the road to $700 million in 2024. In 2025, Jimmy revealed that his net worth has now crossed the $1 billion mark, which is a huge milestone for someone who started his journey from scratch. According to certain sources, his monthly salary is estimated at $50 million.
MrBeast And His Business Ventures That Earned Him Billionaire Status
After gaining immense popularity from YouTube, Jimmy decided to expand his business and launched many new ventures that further contributed to his enormous net worth. Back in December 2020, the delivery app Beast Burger was launched, which reportedly makes $2.3 million every month. MrBeast still owns a certain stake in the delivery app.
MrBeast also launched Juice Funds worth two million dollars, along with Creative Juice, which reportedly offers him $250,000 for a stake in their channels and videos. He then launched Feastables in 2022, a chocolate brand that gained immense popularity. According to the reports, the earnings from the sale of Feastables helped Jimmy fund his YouTube videos. He made a total of $10 million from the sale of Feastables in the first few months. Jimmy also decided he should invest in Bitcoin and 8 CryptoPunks NFTs.
The billionaire also launched XCAD Network, which is basically a decentralized finance market and a plugin for YouTube. It helps YouTube creators earn from their content with one-click NFTs. There are certain reports of his involvement in two crypto companies namely Coinbase and Refinable. According to the recent updates, the billionaire YouTuber has cracked a hundred million dollar deal with Amazon for an exclusive TV series.
MrBeast Criticised For Making Videos Out Of Philanthropy
A major section of MrBeast’s popularity came from the videos in which he was seen handing out millions of dollars to random strangers. He has always been famous for his work as a philanthropist, giving away 100 cars, giving away $1 million in one YouTube video, and raising $20 million for the plantation of 20 million trees. However, when the YouTuber posted a video of him funding the cataract surgeries of 1,000 blind people, people started criticising him for making money out of philanthropy. In response to the major backlash, Jimmy stated that he’s going to give away all his earnings before his death. He also gave a pretty similar statement in 2019, saying his main goal in life is to just make a whole bunch of money and give it all away before his death.
