Even though he is a billionaire, MrBeast reveals that he has ‘less than a million dollars’ in the bank (Photo: Instagram)
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, officially became a billionaire last June. However, he surprised his fans by revealing that his bank account is not as filled as one might think.
The 26-year-old made his fortune primarily from his YouTube videos, which he started producing as a child back in 2012.
With his massive views, partnerships with big brands, and ventures into the business world, it’s no surprise that Jimmy has managed to accumulate a significant amount of money over the years.
However, when asked about his “billionaire” status in a recent interview with host Steven Bartlett, he said: “On paper, yes. But, I mean, in my actual bank account, I have less than a million dollars.”

MrBeast continued explaining how his income works, saying that he pays himself “a little” to make sure he has enough money to cover his regular monthly expenses and pay his employees.
But he emphasized that he sees money as “fuel to expand his business.” “You find a business you like, that’s better for Mother Nature or for Earth or for people, and boom, you have a fulfilled life. That’s my theory. When I’m 70, I don’t want to look back and regret it,” he argued.
MrBeast continued emphasizing that not everything is smooth sailing in his investments. He mentioned that he spent over $50 million to invest in his game show Beast Games, which he hosts on Amazon Prime, but in the end, he lost “tens of millions.”
