Summary
- MrBeast is the youngest self-made billionaire, with a $1 billion net worth.
- Started with gaming videos, his empire now includes various ventures beyond YouTube.
- Despite controversies, MrBeast's success and popularity continue to grow.
Famous YouTube content creator MrBeast is currently the youngest billionaire who hasn't inherited his wealth from someone else, like a parent. It's just one of the stunning figures surrounding MrBeast, who has gradually built his empire, beginning with his first YouTube video upload way back in 2012.
Real name James Stephen Donaldson, MrBeast has 397 million subscribers on YouTube as of publication time, making his channel the most-subscribed across all of YouTube. Getting his start with simple gaming videos, MrBeast has built an entire content empire over the years, which now extends far beyond YouTube videos.

The highly popular streamer Asmongold reveals several injuries on his arms and legs, which he got after “almost dying” in a household accident.
This empire has also led to MrBeast reaching some impressive figures, becoming the youngest billionaire to not inherit their wealth. According to calculations from Celebrity Net Worth, it's believed that MrBeast has a net worth of $1 billion at this time, and he is one of just sixteen billionaires who are under the age of 30. Of those, fourteen inherited their wealth, making MrBeast just one of the two self-made individuals among them, and the youngest. While his net worth is still a far cry from some of the most well-known billionaires on the planet, like Elon Musk and Bill Gates, it's a thoroughly impressive achievement.
How MrBeast Built His Empire
MrBeast got his start like many YouTubers, sharing videos of gameplay footage, starting out in 2012. By 2016, his channel had grown enough that he dropped out of college and began focusing entirely on his YouTube career, which got him kicked out of his childhood home by his parent. His YouTube channel began to grow rapidly with the production of challenge videos. As his channel grew, he put most of the money earned from it back into producing projects, including a number of competitions that gave away large sums of money to winners.
MrBeast has also expanded his brand to encompass way more than YouTube videos. Part of his net worth and fame is now made up by additional ventures, like MrBeast Burger, his Feastables chocolate, the Lunchables-like Lunchly product in partnership with KSI and Logan Paul, and the Amazon series Beast Games. Not all of it has led to profit, though, with MrBeast claiming that he lost millions in the production of the Amazon show.
While there has also been a lot of controversy around MrBeast over the years, there's no denying that he's been an extraordinarily successful individual. Where he goes from here and whether he continues to rise through the ranks of billionaires remains to be seen, but so far, his popularity shows no signs of stopping.
