MrBeast – whose videos giveaway millions in prize money – admits he's broke, borrowing money for his Island wedding: ‘I have very little funds left…'
MrBeast may be worth a billion on paper, but if you ask him, he's personally running low on cash. The YouTube giant, who basically runs a one-man media empire and now has a foot in X (thanks to a personal push from Elon Musk), says he's borrowing money from his mom to pay for his wedding. The creator, real name Jimmy Donaldson, got engaged to longtime girlfriend Thea Booysen on Christmas Eve 2024 in a quiet family affair. When an X post dubbed him 'the only billionaire under 30 to have not inherited his wealth,' MrBeast jumped in with a reply that gave a rare peek into his wallet. Also read: MrBeast, world's top YouTuber with $85 million empire, laments: 'Average person…would be miserable living my life' MrBeast and his fiancée, Thea, have been together since 2022 after meeting in her home country, South Africa. Now, as they plan their wedding, the YouTuber said he is not funding it with his massive net worth. Instead, he revealed on X (formerly Twitter), 'I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything,' he wrote, adding, 'I think this year we'll spend around a quarter of a billion on content… Ironically, I'm actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol.' The man whose business runs on viral videos featuring massive giveaways and the high-budget competition series Beast Games (which handed out a $10 million prize), earlier admitted on a podcast that he has less than $1 million in his personal account. He said his focus is on doubling the money through new ventures, like his latest game show series, which Amazon just renewed for two more seasons, even though he reportedly lost 'tens of millions of dollars' on it. 'For me, it was about making season one as good as possible. I can't let the YouTube community down because creators don't have a good rep when it comes to doing stuff on streaming platforms,' he said to Business Insider. 'If I fail, it's over; no streaming platform is ever gonna touch a YouTuber ever again.'

His island wedding plans come at a time when the content creator is battling lawsuits, including one from the Mexican government over filming near Mayan ruins, and another from Beast Games contestants accusing his team of mistreatment. Still, he's not letting those overshadow his big day. 'I don't take much vacation because of how hard I work, so I definitely want to make sure that the wedding will be a time to celebrate with her and spend time with friends and family who we really enjoy being with. It will be the ultimate way to take some time away and enjoy things.'
