The YouTube star Mr. Beast just dropped a bombshell about his net worth.
Chatting on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO podcast, Mr. Beast got real about his money and business empire. When Bartlett asked point-blank if he’s hit billionaire status, Beast kept it 100 with his answer.
“On paper, yeah. But in my actual bank account, I have less than one million,” said Beast. “[I pay myself] a little bit, but I also have some assistants and things like that, so I try to pay myself what I spend personally, a month, just to stay even.”
Beast shared his money philosophy, saying he sees it as “fuel to grow a business” and thinks people should chase ventures they “enjoy, are better for mother nature, or Earth, or people” to live a “fulfilled life.”
Last year, Forbes crowned him king of their Top Creators list, raking in a wild $85 million yearly. Beast’s empire spans across social media with over 500 million followers and he’s pulled 9 billion YouTube views just in 2024. He’s keeping those numbers up even with some drama along the way.
His business game is strong too. Feastables, his snack company, is now the biggest ethically sourced chocolate brand in the country. Plus, his MrBeast Burger has exploded to more than 2,000 virtual spots worldwide.
