After thanking his fans for their wishes, MrBeast shared a set of figures, allegedly stating:
“This is how many views I got on YouTube during each year of my life (thought it’d be cool to update).”
MrBeast generates over $4 billion a year from YouTube

Readers can check out the tweet below.
Fans have continued to shower MrBeast with wishes on his timeline, congratulating him on his successful and long career on YouTube.
The mind-blowing estimates have MrBeast’s fanbase in awe, and they are questioning the internet celeb’s net worth. So here’s a breakdown of the star’s massive revenue
How much is MrBeast worth?
YouTube’s analytics service, Social Blade, revealed that the philanthropist generates over $3.1 million a month in revenue from his primary YouTube channel. Last year, it was estimated that he had total earnings of $24 million.
MrBeast is projected to surpass the largest independent creator on YouTube, PewDiePie, in the next year.
However, Donaldson started under a different username, called “MrBeast6000,” and was unsuccessful in finding stardom and a stable career on the platform during the first few years.
He slowly transitioned to gaming and tried different titles based on trends such as “Minecraft” and “Call of Duty.” Ironically, the star even engaged in making info videos estimating YouTuber’s wealth and commenting on YouTuber drama, offering video-making tips too.
Donaldson generates revenue from multiple YouTube channels, restaurant chain, and more
Currently, Donaldson also generates massive revenue from his other channels: Beast Philanthropy, MrBeast Gaming, MrBeast Shorts, Beast Reacts, and MrBeast2.
Besides being YouTube’s most prominent philanthropist, Donaldson has even started other ventures such as MrBeast Burger, taking responsibility for the entire ownership of the restaurant chain and launching over 300 units nationwide.
The American has also invested in the tech industry and started Juice Funds. This $2 million investment fund aids creators by providing financial support up to $250k in exchange for equity from their respective YouTube channels.
Clearly, Mrbeast’s growing popularity continues to up his massive net worth. However, the internet sensation was recently caught up in a controversy over a toxic work environment. But so far, it hasn’t affected his stardom.
