MrBeast enters billionaire club with $1 billion net worth, fans congratulate him
YouTuber MrBeast has joined the billionaire club with a net worth of $1 billion, according to a report by Celebrity Net Worth. The report claims that the 27-year-old is the eighth youngest billionaire in the world and the only one under the age of 30 who hasn't inherited his wealth.
The YouTuber with the most views in the world was born James Stephen Donaldson in 1998. He grew up in Greenville, North Carolina. According to a report by Business Insider, his mom raised him as a single parent after she divorced her husband. MrBeast is tight-lipped about his personal life and keeps it out of the limelight.
The report states he was an 'extremely quiet child" growing up'. However, he was also obsessed with YouTube as a kid. Finally, he started his YouTube journey by posting his first video under the username MrBeast6000. In his initial videos, he was mostly off-camera. He once enrolled at East Carolina University but dropped out soon after to pursue his career as a YouTuber.
