MrBeast reveals how much is actually in his bank account
The man behind the most followed YouTube account has finally lifted the lid on how much money he actually has. 27-year-old Jimmy Donaldson is better known as his online alias MrBeast with the Kansas native being active on the video-sharing platform since 2012. Earlier this year, MrBeast hit 400m followers on the site, which is the population of Ireland 77 times over. 27-year-old Jimmy Donaldson is better known as his online alias MrBeast with the Kansas native being active on the video-sharing platform since 2012. Pic:for Netflix The American's content ranges from challenges such as his real life recreation of Squid Game, which saw 456 people competing for $456,000, to more charitable causes. Just last week, MrBeast uploaded a video where he helped two million people in Malawi get clean water for the first time ever. The Kansas man has also funded the building of wells across Kenya, Somalia and Cameroon. Taking into consideration the extent of the content he creates online, it has been long speculated that the online star is a billionaire, with the man remaining tight-lipped on his fortune to date. Now, however, MrBeast has bared all as he revealed just how much his bank account currently holds, as he explained he tries to pay himself just what he would spend personally in the month. Fellow internet personality Adin Ross recently asked the YouTuber if he was a billionaire, encouraging him to 'be honest.' 'In my actual bank account, I have less than $1m (€858,000),' MrBeast answered, '[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.'

The first restaurant was launched in 2020, with MrBeast launching dozens of locations across North America and Europe via 'virtual/ ghost kitchens.' This is where brands use kitchens in actual restaurants to deliver the food, exclusively through delivery apps. MrBeast Burger launched its arrival in Ireland with an event in the Hyde in Dublin City Centre, which saw attendance from people such as Terence & Calvin from the Talking Bollox Podcast, Keilidh Cashell, Aideen Kate, Lauren Whelan, Shanice Griffin, Ryan Mar & Shauna Davitt.

Kevin Doherty hails ‘brilliant' Luke Dennison after Drogheda keeper secures fourth clean sheet in a row
Drogheda United boss Kevin Doherty has lauded goalkeeper Luke Dennison after his fourth successive shutout kept their European football hopes alive KEVIN DOHERTY paid tribute to goalkeeper Luke Dennison after his side picked up another clean sheet on Friday night. It was Dennison's fourth shutout on the spin as the Drogs played out a scoreless draw with Waterford. Advertisement 2 Drogheda United manager Kevin Doherty hailed after a fourth clean sheet in a row 2 Drogheda United goalkeeper Luke Dennison has been in fine form But it keeps them dreaming of European qualification after missing out this year due to a breach of Uefa's multi-club ownership rules. Dennison has helped marshal a defence that has been one of the meanest in the Premier Division this season — shipping just 25 goals in 27 matches. But the American — who joined Drogheda from Bohemians last summer — had to be alert to keep his fine record intact as he denied Blues' Conan Noonan from distance. And his boss Doherty said: 'He's brilliant. Advertisement 'It's all good in hindsight but Luke was in the stand at Dalymount so it was a really good signing by us.' Friday's clean sheet was Dennison's 14th of the season in all competitions and no keeper has made more saves in the top flight than him. And Doherty was quick to hail the keeper who slotted in perfectly for Ireland Under-21 international Andrew Wogan. The Drogs chief added: 'I had no doubts. Advertisement 'He's just so calm when he needs to be and is a bit mad when he needs to be as well. 'He pulls off saves and keeps the ball out of the net. That's what goalkeepers do. Benjamin Sesko is paraded around Old Trafford after completing £74million transfer 'It's not 'he', it's not just the defenders either, it's the attackers who defend but he's been absolutely excellent. 'I know it's really basic but he keeps the ball out of the net. Advertisement 'There's a lot more to goalkeeping nowadays and I'm not saying Luke can't do that but he's just so comfortable. 'He's very calm and he commands his box. 'He's a good fella, as they all are.' On Friday's stalemate at home, the United boss was not too downbeat that this team had missed the chance to go clear in second place. Advertisement They sit level on 42 points with Derry City — who they face in the FAI Cup last 16 on Saturday in a repeat of last year's Aviva Stadium showpiece. Doherty explained: 'We've beaten Waterford here already, Sligo here twice and we've beaten Galway here. 'We don't struggle to beat teams who would be perceived to be in and around us. 'Better teams than us have drawn games, I can assure you. Advertisement 'We're not happy or satisfied with a point, we never are. 'It was a decent contest without loads of quality moments at either end. It shows you how far we've come. 'For me to be disappointed and whatever, shows you how far we've come in a seriously short space of time
