MrBeast, whose real name is James Stephen 'Jimmy' Donaldson, has been creating and uploading YouTube videos since 2012, showcasing his genuine talent and dedication to content creation. This has led to his channel's phenomenal success.
The 26 year old, born in Kansas, USA, initially started with 'Let's Play' videos, where he'd play through video games, offering commentary and insights. He later expanded to other content, such as guessing fellow YouTubers' wealth and sharing his thoughts on YouTube "dramas".
After going viral in January 2017 with a video of himself counting up to 100,000, MrBeast was able to diversify his creative output. He's now famous for his elaborate stunts and gameshow-style videos, often featuring people competing for huge sums of money.
Jimmy, also known as MrBeast, has a reputation for not just being an internet phenomenon but for his philanthropy and green efforts. Surrounded by childhood friends who now form part of his team, he's the brains behind ventures such as MrBeast Burger and Feastables.
How viral is MrBeast's content?
MrBeast, renowned for his meticulous approach to virality on platforms like YouTube, didn't shy away from divulging his strategies with Rolling Stone magazine.
His exact words were: "There's a five-year point in my life where I was just relentlessly, unhealthily obsessed with studying virality, studying the YouTube algorithm. I woke up, I would Uber Eats food, and then I would sit on my computer all day just studying s--- nonstop."
Additionally, Jimmy manages numerous YouTube channels including MrBeast Gaming and MrBeast Shorts, further boosting his view count and reach. He's pulling massive numbers and his videos have collectively hit an eye-popping 58,261,003,910 views.
Among the chart-toppers on his channel are the '$1 vs $500,000 Plane Ticket!' video, with 481 million hits; '50 YouTubers compete for $1,000,000', amassing 240 million views; and the trendsetting '$456,000 Squid Game in real life', clocking in at 651 million views.
Jimmy has a real talent for creating content that resonates with and reaches a wide audience, making him one of the most well-known and influential YouTubers ever.
What is MrBeast's net worth?
While Jimmy Donaldson himself hasn't confirmed it, several reports suggest that MrBeast's net worth is around $700 million. If this is accurate, his monthly income would be approximately $5 million.
On X, he posted a screenshot showing the ad revenue from one video. Impressively, it garnered more than 155 million views and earned him just over $270,500 as a result. This might explain how he's been able to afford multiple properties including a $19,633,500 mansion in North Carolina, complete with its own home cinema, swimming pool and extensive grounds.
In addition to this, he reportedly owns a luxury car collection that includes two Lamborghinis, a Tesla and a BMW 3 Series.
What is MrBeast most proud of?
The YouTuber is understandably proud of his charitable work. He co-founded Team Seas, a fundraising initiative for the nonprofit environmental advocacy group Ocean Conservancy, and The Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit environmental engineering organization based in the Netherlands.
Team Seas has raised more than $30 million. He also co-created Team Trees, another environmentally-focused fundraiser.
In the biography section of his main YouTube channel, Jimmy lists a series of accomplishments and achievements he's earned during his time as a content creator.
