MrBeast says he's borrowing from his Mom to pay for wedding despite $1B net worth
ALBAWABA - MrBeast reveals surprising wedding struggles despite massive billion-dollar business empire.
MrBeast, whose actual name is Jimmy Donaldson, stated that he has "very little money" and needs his family's help to pay for his upcoming wedding to content producer Thea Boysen, even though his estimated net worth is $1 billion.
Responding late Sunday, June 1, 2025, to a post on X that called MrBeast "the only billionaire under 30 who didn't inherit his fortune," the YouTuber, who has more than 400 million subscribers, took action. He stated, "I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think we'll spend about a quarter of a billion dollars this year on content)."
He continued, "Ironically, I'm actually borrowing money from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding, lol," going on to say, "But on paper, the businesses I own are very valuable."
Mr. Beast isn't satisfied with only sharing his movies on social media, where he offers absurd antics and substantial cash rewards. In addition, he hosts the reality competition show "Beast Games," which gave a record-breaking $10 million reward to the winner of its inaugural season.
During Amazon's annual presentation last May, it was revealed that the most popular Prime Video series would be renewed for a second and third season.

According to reports, Mr. Beast first encountered Poison in 2022 when she was in her native South Africa. A month or so later, the pair started dating, and in April 2022, they made their red carpet debut together at the Kids' Choice Awards.
The two content creators hinted at their wedding plans at the time and wanted to keep the big day out of the spotlight when they exclusively told People magazine that they were engaged on Christmas Day 2024.
According to Best, "This will definitely be a warmer, more family-friendly, more private time," she told People magazine at the time. Because of my hectic work schedule, I don't have much time off, so I really want the wedding to be an opportunity to celebrate with her and spend time with our loved ones. It will be the most enjoyable way to enjoy time away from home.

Dakota Johnson steps out without ring after Chris Martin split
ALBAWABA - It seems like Dakota Johnson has completely moved on from Chris Martin. Following her breakup with the 48-year-old Coldplay frontman, the 35-year-old Materialists actress was seen in New York City on Monday, June 2, and Wednesday, June 4, without her engagement ring. On Wednesday, Johnson wore a bohemian-style shirt, wide-leg slacks in tan and cream hues, and a floppy sun hat as part of a neutral look. She wore dark brown flats to complete the ensemble. She was spotted out and about in the Big Apple two days prior, wearing a black leather jacket and without wearing her ring. Dakota Johnson Steps Out in N.Y.C. Without Engagement Ring After Chris Martin Breakup image via PEOPLE The connection between Johnson and Martin, which had been intermittent for almost eight years, had ended. A source stated, "It feels final this time," regarding the separation. Following the singer's 2014 breakup with his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, whom he formally divorced in 2015, Johnson and Martin were initially connected romantically in 2017. He and Johnson became "engaged years ago," according to a source who spoke to PEOPLE in March 2024, but they were in "no rush to get married." Just Jared Instagram profile The Fifty Shades of Grey actress and "Yellow" singer kept their romance largely hidden, but later in March, when Bustle asked Johnson how it felt to watch Martin perform, Johnson talked candidly about Martin. "I adore observing him. She remarked, "I could watch him every day." "I'm not sure how to describe it. I'm not sure, but I feel like... I'm witnessing my favorite person perform his favorite activity. The actress's representative denied breakup rumors when they surfaced in August 2024, stating that the two were "happily together." Just Jared Instagram profile Around the same time, a source stated, "Yes, they have experienced problems and pauses in the past, but everything is fantastic right now. Both of them are passionate about their jobs. They are doing their utmost to maintain equilibrium. Before then, in June 2024, a source stated that Martin and Johnson had experienced "ups and downs, but now they're definitely back on." The last time the two were pictured together was on May 16 in Malibu, California, which was two weeks ago. Prior to that, in January, while Martin and his band were on tour in India, they held hands.

Blind Spots and Wishful Thinking: Why Data Resilience Needs a Reality Check
For years, many organizations have been guilty of putting data resilience on the back burner. Over time, however, the rising tide of threat levels, regulations, and best practices has lifted all boats. Resilience is now firmly on the for a rethinkAwareness is only half the battle; preparedness is another matter. Now that industry benchmarks have improved so that organizations have a better idea of what to look for, they are waking up to an uncomfortable fact – they aren't as prepared as they ought to be. The Veeam report on data resilience among larger enterprises in collaboration with McKinsey found that key aspects of cyber resilience - even old-hat fundamentals like 'People and Processes - were regularly self-reported as significantly did we get here? And how can organizations shore up these shortcomings? For C-suite decision-makers, resilience perhaps isn't the most exciting or business-critical concern. Historically, it was often lumped in with general cybersecurity and assumed that it was already in place. Unfortunately, like most contingencies, the true value of data resilience can't be appreciated until things go wrong. Aside from the CISO, chief execs would often treat backup and recovery processes like you would an airbag. Forget it's in place at all, until you're involved in an incident, and then suddenly you're thanking your lucky stars you had it in law enforcement cracking down on some of the most prominent groups, including the likes of BlackCat and LockBit, there might have been an assumption that cyberattacks as a whole are trending down. But the reality couldn't be further from the truth. In the last year alone, 69% of companies faced an attack at one point or another, yet 74% still fell short of data resilience best practices. The threat is only evolving, with smaller groups and so-called 'lone wolf' attackers stepping into the gap. And with a new subsection of attackers comes a new set of methods, with the faster data exfiltration attack methods on the writing's on the wallThe same Veeam report, in collaboration with McKinsey revealed that 74% of participating enterprises lacked the maturity needed to recover quickly and confidently from a disruption. While cyber resilience gaps are often a case of 'not realising before it was too late', in this case, many of these deficiencies were self-reported. But if organizations are aware, why haven't they plugged these gaps?For some, it could be down to the simple fact that they've only just realized. The recent wave of EU-focused regulations, including notably NIS2 and DORA, has spotlighted the issue by requiring organizations to up their resilience across the board. In the build-up to their compliance deadlines over the last year, organizations had to critically assess their full data resilience, many for the first time, revealing a number of previously unknown blind no matter how they realized their gaps, organizations did not fall behind overnight. For many, it's happened incrementally with their data resilience standards not keeping up as new technologies and applications have been adopted. With most organizations implementing AI at will to stay ahead of the competition and optimize business processes, the impact on their data profiles has gone largely unnoticed. The sheer amount of data needed and generated by these applications has resulted in sprawling data profiles that fall far outside existing data resilience this with an underdeveloped understanding of modern data resilience, and you've got a recipe for disaster. It's often a case of 'you don't know what you don't know'. As a result, many organizations have been benchmarking themselves against the wrong yardsticks. Take your standard tabletop exercise, sure, it's better than nothing, but data resilience can't be measured on paper. In theory, their processes might work, but in reality, it's a whole other a step in the right directionSo, what's next? Rather than waiting for an incident to come along and put them to the test, organizations need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. That means proactively uncovering and addressing gaps, however uneasy it might make them first step for any organization with below-par data resilience should be to gather a clear picture of your data profile. What you have, where it's stored, and why you do or don't need it. With this, you can reduce at least some of your data sprawl by filtering out any obsolete, redundant, or trivial data to focus on securing the data you actually need. Then, get to work securing the work doesn't stop there. Once you've got your shiny, new data resilience measures in place, it's time to stress test them. And not just once. Data resilience measures need to be consistently and comprehensively tested to push them to their very limits, much like in the real thing – cyber-attackers won't just stop when your systems start to creak a little. And they won't wait until the perfect through scenarios where key stakeholders are on annual leave, or where security teams are occupied with something else entirely, to expose all of the potential gaps in your measures. It might seem excessive, but otherwise, the first you'll hear about these vulnerabilities will be during or following a real a significant piece of work to undertake, but data resilience is worth every penny. According to the Veeam report, in collaboration with McKinsey, companies with advanced data resilience capabilities have 10% higher annual revenue growth than those lagging. That's not to say that improved data resilience will magically boost these figures for you, but bringing up your data resilience standards will inevitably have a knock-on effect on processes across the board. At the very least, you can be sure that cyberthreats will only grow more complex, and that data footprints won't be getting smaller any time soon. It's an issue that every organization will have to face, so jump in the deep end now before you get pushed beyond your limits by a cyber-attack.
