Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has officially become the only self-made billionaire in the world under the age of 30.
Now 27 years old, the American YouTuber and entrepreneur has amassed a net worth of $1 billion, as reported by CelebrityNetWorth.
It’s estimated that Donaldson brings in approximately $50 million each month and commands a massive total audience of 396 million subscribers across all his YouTube channels. He first revealed his billionaire status during an appearance on The Diary of a CEO podcast hosted by Steven Bartlett, where he said, “Yeah. But in my actual bank account, I have less than one million.”
He further explained, “I pay myself just enough to cover what I spend monthly. I’ve got a few assistants, so I try to break even personally.”
To commemorate his new billionaire status, MrBeast recently posted a humorous image on social media recreating the famous “Hood MrBeast” meme, captioned, “You guys can stop asking me to recreate the meme now .” The post featured him posing with stacks of cash, a playful nod to his well-known internet persona.
Donaldson’s achievement puts him in a league of his own, surpassing other top creators like PewDiePie and the Stokes Twins, and becoming the only digital content creator to independently reach billionaire status.
