What is Jacob Meijer’s net worth in 2024? Fortune of Netflix’s The Man with 1000 Kids subject explored

Netflix’s The Man With 1000 Kids, which was released earlier this month on July 3rd, delves into the story of Jonathan Jacob Meijer, a Dutch musician and content creator. Meijer grew famous after he was found having donated sperm to a variety of organizations around the world, after initially starting around 2007.

This was despite laws in the Netherlands stipulating a limit of 25 children or 12 women when it came to sperm donation. Meijer was eventually found guilty in the Netherlands, after which he began to donate sperm to organizations around the world under false pretenses, and an alias.

The content creator is now known to have amassed a net worth of around $1 million, with some estimates claiming that it might be between $600-900k instead. Regardless, both the figures suggest that as of 2024, he has already amassed a fortune, according to the Cinemaholic.

The story has been delved into via The Man with 1000 Kids, Meijer himself remains an avid YouTuber. He has recently been chronicling his travels around the world and even posted a video criticizing Netflix for the series.

Jonathan Meijer Net Worth: Everything known about the content creator

A musician, YouTuber, and prolific sperm donor, Meijer is known to have completely committed to content creation. His official YouTube account features regular videos that delve into his travels around the world, and a look into his recent clips suggests that Meijer has already traveled a good part of it.

The YouTuber has been posting 4-5 videos every week on his official account, which has undoubtedly contributed to his current net worth. Meijer is also known to have worked as a civics teacher, a cryptocurrency consultant, and a musician over the past decade.

This puts his net worth anywhere between $600-$900k, with some estimates claiming that it might be closer to $1 million. While Meijer has become popular due to the Netflix series, he reportedly did not receive a single penny from the streaming giants.

As a matter of fact, the content creator was asked to be a part of the series, but ended up refusing, as per his own admission. Regardless, there have been two major legal cases that he has had to fight against.

Firstly, a domestic case in the Netherlands prohibited him from continuing sperm donation. However, afterward, he found a loophole, in the sense that he was not prohibited from doing the same in other countries, something he was known to have been doing under a range of aliases.

The content creator then saw a civil suit being filed against him, which concluded in April 2023. Meijer was told that any subsequent donation would lead to a fine of 100,000 Euros.

However, by this time, he was already known to have fathered at least 550-600 children worldwide, with some estimates claiming that the number might be as high as 800.

Further, it was his victims, in the form of mothers around the world, who came together to form the Donorkind Foundation, which eventually initiated a civil suit against Meijer. It came to a conclusion in 2023 and brought forth a permanent stoppage to Meijer’s sperm donation activities.

Further, clinics around the world who had his sample were also asked to destroy them, which has understandably had little impact on his overall career. In some ways, the increased fame that he has amassed via The Man With 1000 Kids has only added to his income, which is set to have an effect in the coming time as well.

Regardless, as things stand, his net worth is estimated to be around $1 million, and may further increase in the coming time.
