MrBeast reveals how much is actually in his bank account
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.'

In 2023, MrBeast's global virtual restaurant brand, MrBeast Burger, came to Ireland, with nationwide deliveries available.
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.

‘Just too soon' – Succession star cancels sold-out Dublin gig as hectic schedule forces him to postpone tour
'I can't be doing it' NO SHOW 'Just too soon' – Succession star cancels sold-out Dublin gig as hectic schedule forces him to postpone tour SUCCESSION star Brian Cox has had to cancel his upcoming Dublin gig due to a "very busy" schedule. The Scottish actor, who plays the infamous character Logan Roy in the hit series, was set to kick off his one-man tour in just a few weeks.

One of those dates included a sold-out appearance at Dublin's National Concert Hall on October 6. However, the 79-year-old has now revealed he's been forced to pull out, admitting the workload this year has taken a toll. Due to the hectic schedule and exhaustion, he had to make the tough decision to take a step back. Advertisement The acclaimed actor told BBC Newscast: "I just thought I'll do it sometime, [October is] just too soon." Cox is also getting ready to take his directorial debut - Glenrothan - to the Toronto Film Festival next month, adding even more to his already packed diary. He admitted: "It's been very busy and I just thought, 'I can't be doing it.'" The tour has now been postponed and new dates will be announced for 2026. Advertisement Ticket holders have been informed and refunds will be completed. When he launched the tour, Cox said: "I am looking forward to this tour as it marks something a little different for me - sharing the stage with myself. BBC axe celeb-favourite TV show after eight series "As the title indicates, the show will focus more than ever on my life and career. In the second half, the tables are turned and the audience will have the chance to put their questions to me. It should be a lot of fun." The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning star is also known for his role in the film Manhunter and his stage work with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). Advertisement The Scottish actor trained at Dundee Rep Theatre before moving on to perform with the Royal Lyceum Theatre, the Royal National Theatre and the RSC, where he gained acclaim for playing King Lear. The news comes after Cox - who first wowed Edinburgh audiences with the Royal Lyceum Theatre Company back in 1965 - hit headlines for speaking out on the current state of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. At a UK Government gathering of cultural leaders at the newly revamped Filmhouse cinema, Cox used the launch of a fresh partnership between the Scotland Office and the Fringe Society to urge a shake-up of Edinburgh's world-famous festivals. SPEAKING OUT He told The Herald: "I sort of find myself in a really weird position. Advertisement "Everybody's talking about art. I want to talk about practical matters - about how we coordinate everything." While admitting that a bit of "chaos" has always been part of the Fringe and International Festival's charm, Cox warned that poor coordination between the two was starting to undermine their success. "The problem about chaos is it's chaotic," he quipped, blasting competing box offices and clashing schedules as major headaches for performers and audiences alike. "There needs to be greater coordination, just practically, in order to make things function properly." Advertisement Cox stressed that the real magic lies in the work itself - how it's seen and how people pay for it - not in the organisational mayhem. He said: "At the moment, half the charm of Edinburgh is its chaos, but that's only half the charm."

‘People see themselves in me': Frances Tiafoe on being a tennis trailbazer in a mainly white sport
Frances Tiafoe is in his element when he talks passionately about the growing presence of black and mixed heritage players at the highest levels of men's tennis. During a stroll on tournament grounds he reels off the names of players he competes with regularly on the tour. 'Now they're at a position where I have wars with them and go back and forth. So this is great, man. It's great to see,' he says. 'And then you have Giovanni [Mpetshi Perricard], you have Gaël [Monfils], who I looked up to.' Seconds after Tiafoe mentions his name, Monfils suddenly appears from around a corner as if magically summoned by the American's utterance. His arrival naturally leads to a pause in this interview as an excited Tiafoe greets Monfils by heaping praise on his new haircut, particularly focusing his attention on the Frenchman's sleek fade. Monfils responds with a compliment of his own: 'You're looking like a wedding day,' he says, laughing. This encounter perfectly encapsulates the dynamic between two different generations of black players in a sport where their success immediately marks them as trailblazers. Although they step on to the court with the sole intention of beating each other, there is also a deep understanding between them and they are extremely supportive. 'He texts me all the time,' says Tiafoe. 'He tells me, like: 'Yo, you can do this.' Don't get it twisted, when he plays he still wants to beat my ass and so do I, but it's just a lot of love.' Tiafoe, at No 14 in the rankings is the third-highest ranked US man behind Taylor Fritz, the world No 4, and Ben Shelton, who won the Toronto Masters 1000 on Thursday night, but in terms of name recognition the 27-year-old has become the most prominent US male tennis player in years. His matches attract NBA stars like Kevin Durant, he breaks bread with Taylor Swift and has earned a fan in Michelle Obama. In recent weeks Tiafoe has been name-dropped in songs from the rap duo Clipse and the rapper Wale. 'I still think he's the player on tour with the most clout, like every celebrity knows him, or he knows every celebrity. He's mentioned in two rap songs, so he's pretty iconic,' says Coco Gauff, laughing. Tiafoe, for his part, believes his burgeoning profile underlines the importance of tennis reaching beyond its traditional audience: 'Just to be able to be in a position where I get crossover, people want to be a part of things I'm doing in a predominantly white sport. They see themselves in me, in the sport, and they want to get behind me. Hopefully I'm able to get that done,' he says. There is also simply nobody like Tiafoe. His extroverted character and bluntness can be abrasive to some spectators, but he is kind, warm and has time for everyone. Laughter is never far from his lips, which makes his energy infectious. He has also deliberately made a point of using his platform to promote female athletes. When he is not playing, he is often at WNBA games and he wears player jerseys throughout the tennis season during practice. He is friends with many female basketball players. 'I think [female athletes] just need to get their flowers,' says Tiafoe. 'They put in the work, just like we do. They just need to be getting their love, their notoriety, their compensation. Let them smell their flowers. That's kind of what it is. And I think more women should support women, to be honest with you, because it's a beautiful thing. It's not just me showing up and supporting it. It's me showing up and watching a good product.' In addition to his support for women's sport, Tiafoe has also actively tried to help certain female tennis players follow in his path. His success has paved the way for others at the Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC), his childhood tennis club near Washington DC, particularly the WTA players Hailey Baptiste and Robin Montgomery. This year, while also working with Franklin Tiafoe, Frances's twin brother, Baptiste has enjoyed a breakout season, reaching the top 50. Both players cite Tiafoe as a mentor they have constantly sought advice from and he has tried to be on hand to help them in any way he can. He takes great pride in their success. 'I'm still young – I've still got a lot more to achieve. I still haven't scratched the surface of my career. But with them, I've already won in so many ways,' says Tiafoe. 'So it's kind of how you look at the glass, but it's amazing to be in that seat. It's a blessing.' During tournaments, Tiafoe can sometimes be found training with other female players, which is still an unusual sight. He describes Jessica Pegula as his favourite training partner on the WTA: 'She hits the ball so pure and right in pocket every time,' he says. 'She's pretty relaxed as well. But she doesn't want to hit with me any more. She's made some finals now in some slams, 1000s, and she doesn't want to talk to me as much any more. She got too big time for me. She forgot about the little people.' Such is his jovial nature, Tiafoe is often the butt of jokes among his friends on the tour. They tease him for his questionable organisational skills, his lack of punctuality and his general unseriousness. His driving has also come under fire. Offered a platform to defend himself against his friends' scorn, Tiafoe smiles. 'I just recently got my license, so I was definitely shaky in the early days, probably when they were saying it,' says Tiafoe. 'But I'm definitely nice [at driving]. I'm definitely [Lewis] Hamilton 2.0 behind the wheel so I don't worry too much about it.' The story of Tiafoe's past has already been told countless times, but it can never be repeated enough. The son of Sierra Leonean parents who immigrated to the United States, Tiafoe spent much of his formative years at the JTCC, where his father worked as a janitor. He has defied almost impossible odds to establish himself as one of the best tennis players in the world. After reaching his second grand slam semi-final at the US Open last year, when he lost to Fritz in five sets in heartbreaking fashion, this year Tiafoe will attempt to rediscover the magic on courts that have regularly inspired his best. Regardless of what awaits him as he enters the prime years of his career, however, it is obvious that in many ways Tiafoe has already won. 'I'd tell guys from the [club] that I'd want to be a pro,' says Tiafoe. 'They would just clown and not take it seriously. I was always like: 'Don't worry, man. I'm going to be the last person laughing.' Here we are today.' Guardian
