MrBeast's 'casual confession about his net worth has YouTube fans floored
Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson is behind one of the most successful YouTube channel boasting more than 420 million subscribers. He also runs a host of businesses and charitable ventures YouTube star MrBeast made a 'casual' confession about his net worth which left many people amazed. The 27-year-old, whose real name is James Stephen 'Jimmy' Donaldson, is behind the most subscribed to channel on YouTube, boasting an online community of 420 million subscribers - a figure which continues to grow each day. The content creator is renowned for his quirky brand of charity and high production gameplay, which pulls in audiences all over the globe. His videos are often creative and elaborately planned, with quirky plots such as being 'trapped' inside a private jet for 100 days, or finding items to win cash prizes. His charitable endeavours are also incredibly prominent on his channel, with a recent video upload centring on his mission to provide clean water to millions of people. Much has been reported about his net worth, which is estimated to be $1 billion (£747.8 million), but a recent video shared on social media shared his 'casual' attitude towards it. In a recent live stream hosted by internet personality and streamer Adin Ross, Jimmy appeared alongside other online content creators and the topic of his net worth came up. Adin asked: 'Jimmy, are you a billionaire? Be honest.' Jimmy replied: 'Yeah.' A snippet of this exchange was posted on TikTok and captured the other creators' stunned, silent reactions. Many of them let their mouths fall open in shock. Jimmy then added: 'What would you say the largest YouTube channel in the world is worth?' In the comments section, fellow TikTok users were keen to share their thoughts. One person said: 'That 'yeah' was so casual, it's actually insane how smart Jimmy is." Another referenced Canadian content creator xQc's facial expressions after hearing Jimmy's net worth. They said: 'Xqc's eye opened up like 'bruh I got competitions now'." Someone else commented: 'Well if someone [has] over 200million [subscribers] of course he ain't gonna be broke." Another added: 'You know what's the craziest part about this, is his wealth will just expand faster from now on." In an appearance on Steven Bartlett's popular Diary of a CEO back in February, Jimmy confirmed his staggering net worth but said it's only 'on paper'. In his actual bank account, he shared: 'In my actual bank account, I have less than one million.' He explained the majority of his wealth is reinvested into his content creation, as well as paying his staff. The 27-year-old, who was born in Kansas, US, originally began his online career with 'Let's Play' videos - whereby the creator plays through a video game in its entirety offering their commentary and insight on their experience of it - before progressing to other types of content like guessing fellow YouTubers' wealth, and offering his thoughts on YouTube 'dramas'. He first went viral in 2017 with a YouTube video that captured him counting up to 100,00, before progressing to the inventive and high-budget productions he's so known and loved for to this day. The star is also the founder of several businesses, including MrBeast Burger and Feastables.
