MrBeast has an estimated net worth of more than $2.5 billion, according to Business Insider, MrBeast's ownership stake in Beast Industries revealed (figures as of November 2025).
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, turned giant stunt videos into the most-subscribed channel on YouTube. Forbes says his channels have more than 640 million subscribers and over 5 billion views a year.
He runs his empire like a company, not a channel. Beast Industries includes his media business, Feastables and Lunchly snacks, the Viewstats analytics tool and licensing. On paper his stake is worth billions, but he has said he reinvests almost everything back into his videos and businesses.
How MrBeast makes his money
MrBeast earns money in more ways than most creators. His YouTube videos bring in ad revenue and sponsorships, but the bigger business is Beast Industries, the company behind his media studio, Feastables chocolate, Lunchly snack packs, the Viewstats analytics tool and his toy and clothing licensing. Business Insider reported that the company had more than $400 million in revenue in a single year, though it was not yet profitable because of high video costs.
He also has a reality competition show, Beast Games, on Amazon Prime Video. Forbes estimated his earnings at $85 million for April 2024 to April 2025, and at $300 million on its 2026 Top Creators list, though he has publicly disputed past estimates.
Rich on paper, light on cash
In a deposition, Donaldson said he owns a little over half of Beast Industries, which raised money at a valuation of about $5 billion. By Business Insider's math, that stake is worth more than $2.5 billion. He has stressed that this is paper wealth. He has said he reinvests nearly everything into his videos and companies, keeps very little cash, and even borrowed money from his mom for his wedding. Forbes has not published a net worth estimate for him, so we show the Business Insider figure and label it clearly.
That is why his headline figure here comes with a caveat. It is a reported paper value, not cash in the bank, and it could change as the company raises money.
