YouTube star MrBeast is now the world’s eighth youngest billionaire, having grown his expansive online empire into a hugely profitable brand that can’t be ignored.

Jimmy ‘MrBeast‘ Donaldson is the owner of the world’s most-subscribed YouTube channel, successfully surpassing Indian music label T-Series in 2024 to claim the title.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though. Donaldson is arguably one of the most famous figures in the modern world, boasting hundreds of millions of followers across multiple social platforms, a successful candy company, and even his own charity organization.

From his Feastables chocolate bars to Lunchly lunch packs and hosting his own record-breaking game show on Amazon Prime, MrBeast has become a household name — and it’s earned him a pretty penny.

MrBeast is the world’s youngest billionaire – and probably the richest content creator on the net.

MrBeast is the only billionaire under 30 to not have inherited his wealth

In June 2024, Donaldson officially became a billionaire, and he’s one of the youngest to ever reach this unfathomable amount of wealth.

As per calculations from Celebrity Net Worth, the 27-year-old YouTuber boasts a net worth of $1 billion as of May 2025, with a projected salary of $50 million per month.

On top of this, he’s one of only 16 billionaires under 30 years old — and the only one not to have inherited his jaw-dropping revenue.

MrBeast has become a household name over the years, rubbing elbows with major celebrities and even becoming one such major celebrity himself.

MrBeast has made it clear over the years that he actually loses money on his YouTube videos, which often net him tens of millions of views within the first 24 hours of publication. He also puts a large amount of cash toward his charitable endeavors, which now focus on ending child labor on cocoa farms in West Africa.

However, the YouTuber’s business was valued at $1.5 billion in late 2022, and he secured a $100 million deal with Amazon for his game show, Beast Games, on Prime Video.

With his multiple collaborations with large brands like Jack’s Links and Beast Games getting renewed for two additional seasons, MrBeast has quite the comfy cushion to fall back on — even though he’s said in the past that he has no concern whatsoever for the state of his own pocketbook.
