All of this has put the YouTuber's net worth at $1 billion, according to Celebrity Net Worth, with an estimated monthly salary of $50 million.

However, a court case related to MrBeast Burgers in 2024 showed that he had made $223 million in 2023 and was on track to make $700 million in 2024. Unlike many other billionaires, MrBeast, who was born in North Carolina, started his career from the bottom and worked his way up. According to Benzinga, he started when he was a teenager, making gaming videos on YouTube. MrBeast created a video in 2017 named 'I Counted To 100,000!' where he spent 44 hours counting to 100,000. This video is what skyrocketed his popularity, according to Celebrity Net Worth, and has been viewed over 31 million times.

In 2023, MrBeast faced backlash for releasing a video that showed him paying for 1,000 blind people to have surgery, according to Benzinga. He was criticized for making content out of philanthropy. MrBeast responded to the backlash, saying, 'I promise to give away all my money before I die. Every single penny.' He reportedly made a similar statement in 2019, saying, 'I know most people prob won't believe this but my main goal in life is to just make a bunch of money, and then give it all away while doing as much good as possible before I die.' MrBeast has always been huge on philanthropic work. He has donated over 100 cars, given away $1 million in one YouTube video and raised $20 million to plant 20 million trees. Along with his extremely popular YouTube video, MrBeast also has branded merchandise and partnerships with companies like Walmart and Microsoft. He also owns Beast Philanthropy, which is his non-profit initiative that funds the larger-scale projects. Some of his other ventures include: Beast Burger: MrBeast holds a stake in the food delivery app Beast Burger. Beast Burger allegedly makes $2.3 million every month. However, MrBeast did file a complaint in 2023, claiming that the company had poor quality control and it was damaging his reputation. Juice Funds: Along with Creative Juice, MrBeast launched the two-million-dollar Juice Funds. It offers creators up to $250,000 for a stake in their channels and videos. Feastables: This chocolate brand has become popular and has reportedly helped fund MrBeast's YouTube videos. Started in 2022, it released three versions of its chocolate bars and made over $10 million in the first few months, according to Axios.

World's richest comedian is a billionaire, has only 1 hit film, yet richer than even Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Shah Rukh
Stand-up comedy is a lucrative career. But one may not be able to imagine just how lucrative it is. The fame that stand-up gave to this one comedian was enough to catapult him to a superstardom few have seen. Over the years, it even made him a billionaire, richer than even the top film stars in the world. Jerry Seinfeld, creator and star of the iconic 90s' sitcom Seinfeld, is the richest comedian in the world and the only billionaire in the community. According to Forbes, Seinfeld has a net worth of $1.1 billion, which makes him one of the richest men in Hollywood. The magazine notes that "his fortune comes from his share of the syndication revenue the show generates, as well as income from touring, films and other projects". However, it should be noted that the bulk of Jerry's earnings come from the show's syndication revenue. "Seinfeld and co-creator Larry David reportedly earn 15% of the show's syndication revenue, which includes sales to local television stations and streaming platforms," notes Forbes. Apart from the show, the comedian has acted in only two films - Bee Movie and Unfrosted. The first was a hit while the latter was a commercial failure. Yet, the syndication revenue of Seinfeld is enough to earn Jerry millions. It was estimated that he has earned over $700 million from the show. His other work includes Netflix comedy specials and the successful interview show Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. Seinfeld's $1.1 billion net worth makes him one of the richest 'actors' in the world even though he has only a few acting credits. The only man ahead of him is Tyler Perry, another occasional actor. Some big names follow, including Shah Rukh Khan ($770 million), Tom Cruise ($600 million), Dwayne Johnson ($400 million), and Johnny Depp ($100 million).
