Estimated net worth: $1 billion
MrBeast has an estimated net worth of around 1 billion dollars, within a very wide published range of 500 million dollars to 2.6 billion dollars. Almost all of that estimate is equity in Beast Industries, his holding company, rather than cash. Forbes estimated his earnings at 85 million dollars between April 2024 and April 2025, ranking him first among all creators.
Bio
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, was born on May 7, 1998, in Greenville, North Carolina. He is the most subscribed individual creator on YouTube, and his company Beast Industries runs his channels, the Feastables snack brand, and the Beast Games series on Amazon Prime Video.
Career timeline
He started his channel in 2012 and went viral in 2017 with counting and endurance stunt videos. He reinvested nearly all revenue into bigger productions, launched Feastables in 2022, and premiered Beast Games in 2024. Beast Industries was valued at about 5.2 billion dollars in a 2025 funding round, per reporting on investor documents, with Donaldson holding a majority stake.
Income sources
His income sources are YouTube advertising and sponsorships across his channels; Feastables, the largest revenue driver inside Beast Industries; Beast Games licensing; merchandise; and his majority equity stake in Beast Industries. Donaldson has said publicly that he keeps less than 1 million dollars in personal cash and reinvests the rest.
Estimated net worth breakdown
The estimate of 1 billion dollars sits in the middle of the published range. The top end of 2.6 billion dollars, reported by Fortune and Celebrity Net Worth, marks his majority stake at the full 5.2 billion dollar company valuation. The 500 million dollar bottom end discounts that private equity heavily for illiquidity. This article takes the middle, because the stake is real but cannot be sold at the headline valuation today.
