After years of speculation from his followers, Jimmy Donaldson finally revealed the estimated value he puts on his video business.
At only 22 years old, Donaldson built a YouTube empire worth an estimated $200 million and counting. His ingenious channel has helped him amass more than 50 million subscribers, along with multiple awards for online influencer excellence. Most notably, he made history in 2018 when he became the first creator to reach 10 million subscribers without relying on sponsored content or endorsements. With such achievements and possibilities yet to come, it’s no wonder why many people have pegged MrBeast as the new face of success on YouTube.
MrBeast, born Jimmy Donaldson, has been making waves online with videos that feature daring stunts, outlandish giveaways, and incredible acts of charity. His mobile app, currently used to track who can keep their finger pressed within the app for the longest amount of time, is just a preview for a yet-to-be-announced mobile strategy game. The generous YouTuber regularly gives away large sums of money and expensive items to strangers as part of his popular channel.
He recently outdid himself by covering the costs for 1,000 blind people to receive cataract surgery and experience the gift of sight. The video showcasing the amazing moment when they removed bandages to reveal clear vision was seen by millions across the world.
YouTuber MrBeast hit the 100 million subscriber mark in July 2022, and already the number has climbed to a whopping 133 million viewers. Proprietor of the MrBeast-branded companies Jimmy Donaldson, more commonly known as “MrBeast”, expects his corporate holdings will only keep rising in value. In one podcast, Donaldson suggested that his empire may be worth even more than it currently is – with one host noting they were surprised Walt Disney Co. hadn’t made him an offer, and another noting MrBeast is now worth more than Meta Platforms Inc’s WhatsApp messaging service.
Clearly this YouTuber-slash-businessman is a force to be reckoned with!
