Forbes declares MrBeast as the number one creator in its Top Creators of 2025 list
(Image via YouTube/@MrBeast) YouTube's king of chaos, giveaways, and jaw-dropping stunts just did it again. Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a. MrBeast, has officially claimed the #1 spot on Forbes' Top Creators of 2025 list, and let's be honest: we all saw it coming. With $85 million in the bank, over 634 million followers, and a business empire built on wild YouTube ideas, this man's not just breaking the internet, he's rewriting how it works. MrBeast is the King of the Internet MrBeast isn't just a YouTuber anymore. He's a global content empire. And this year, Forbes named him the #1 Creator in the World on its highly anticipated Top Creators of 2025 list. Here are some of the numbers you should know about: Estimated 2025 Earnings : $85 million Total Followers (across YouTube, Insta, X, etc.): 634 million Average Engagement : 1.39% (which is wildly high when you've got that many fans) And it's not just ad revenue. MrBeast has built an empire: Beast Burger Feastables Multiple YouTube channels Viral stunts and challenge content And even charity work that regularly trends on its own He's not just pulling in views; he's pulling in power. Not Just Viral — Visionary It's easy to think MrBeast just hands out Lamborghinis for clicks. But there's strategy behind the madness. This guy has cracked the code on creator-business hybrids: He's running multiple revenue streams : YouTube channels, Beast Burgers, Feastables, and more. His Entrepreneurship Score (as per Forbes) is top-tier — a 4 out of 4. Translation? He's not just making money from the internet. He's building stuff on it. The Content? Still Next-Level MrBeast is known for videos that feel like Hollywood blockbusters, and he's only dialing it up. One of his latest challenges apparently took 171 days to film. That's not just dedication — that's Netflix-level production for YouTube. From recreating "Squid Game" to giving away private islands, the man's content isn't just viral; it's a cultural event every time he uploads. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Who Else Made the List? MrBeast may be #1, but the rest of the creator world wasn't left behind. The 2025 list also includes: Dhar Mann – Ranked #2 with $56M in earnings Jake Paul – #3 IShowSpeed – #42 Nickmercs – #27 Kai Cenat – #28 All major names, sure. But none even come close to the scale or scope of MrBeast's global presence. The MrBeast Era MrBeast's top ranking isn't just a personal win; it's a clear signal that the creator economy has gone pro. It's about a new era in content creation where creators aren't just entertainers; they're brands, builders, and bosses. MrBeast isn't riding the wave. He is the wave. And with this Forbes #1 title, he's officially cemented his spot as the most dominant force in the creator economy.

Parmeet Sethi says he's ‘international superstar' in Switzerland as he recreates iconic DDLJ scene with Archana Puran Singh; son says, ‘In his dreams'
Actor and television personality Archana Puran Singh has been treating fans to glimpses of her picturesque family vacation in Switzerland through a series of YouTube vlogs. Accompanied by her husband, actor Parmeet Sethi, and their two sons Ayushmaan and Aaryamann Sethi, the trip has featured everything from local cuisine to stunning landscapes, and some unexpected laughs along the way. In the latest vlog, the family set out to discover Mürren, a quaint and lesser-known Swiss mountain village. On their way, Archana and Parmeet took a trip down memory lane by recreating the iconic train scene from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, a film Parmeet starred in. In the playful recreation, Archana is seen running to catch the train as Parmeet extends his hand to help her onboard, just like Shah Rukh Khan did for Kajol in the film. But the moment quickly turned comedic. As soon as she boarded, Archana burst into laughter and exited the train, joking: 'Ye toh Raj nahi, Kuljeet hai!' (This isn't Raj, it's Kuljeet!) To which Parmeet replied with mock indignation: 'Kuljeet ki bhi feelings hoti hai yaar.' (Even Kuljeet has feelings, you know.) Also Read | Archana Puran Singh's husband Parmeet Sethi calls her a 'liar' for claiming she cooks, son Ayushmaan escapes a fatal accident in Switzerland Once they reached Mürren, the men in the family, Parmeet, Ayushmaan, and Aaryamann, set off for Via Ferrata, a historical climbing route initially developed during World War II to help Italian soldiers navigate rugged terrain. Today, it's a popular adventure sport known for its steep cliffs and dramatic views. The trio documented their thrilling experience as they scaled challenging rock paths and even witnessed adrenaline junkies taking part in base jumping. At the end of the climb, Parmeet declared: 'This is the scariest thing I've ever done!' He teased Archana, saying she would have never managed to do something that intense. Their Swiss adventure continued as the family visited a traditional village named Gimmelwald. Immersing themselves in local culture, they explored farms and encountered the iconic Swiss cows. In one light-hearted moment, Parmeet jokingly asked Archana to taste the cows' fodder, prompting a faux-furious reaction from her: 'Apologize to me because if I get angry then you will be left with no option!' Despite the playful banter, the vlog ended on a heartwarming note. The family settled at a scenic mountaintop spot, where Ayushmaan and Aaryamann serenaded their parents with songs while Archana and Parmeet enjoyed the music and the mountain vibes.
