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.

Who Else Made the List?

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.
