Mr. Beast Net Worth 2023: How Much Does Mr. Beast Make A Year?
It is difficult to accurately estimate the annual income of Mr. Beast as he has many sources of income, including his very own MrBeast Burger Restaurant Chain.
Mr. Beast has over 100 million subscribers on YouTube as of December 2022, and he typically averages between 40 million to 100 million views per video, which he monetizes through ads and sponsorship.
According to Social Blade— a website that tracks YouTube channel statistics— Mr. Beast’s channel has the potential to earn between $300,000 and $4.8 million per year from ads alone, based on an estimate of his average views per video. However, this is just a rough estimate and does not take into account other sources of income, such as sponsorships or merchandise sales.
‘From literally the time I started making money at 16 until now, I just reinvested everything I made. One dollar a day turned into two and then three. And then eventually I was making $10,000 a month then a $100,000 a month, then $1 million a month,’ he says.
In addition to his YouTube income, Mr. Beast has also participated in various business ventures and has reportedly made significant investments in various companies. It is not clear how much he has earned from these ventures.
Despite the success of his videos, Mr. Beast claimed that he runs his main channel at a loss.
“Almost all my recent videos lost me a ridiculous amount of money,” Donaldson tweeted back in 2021. “That’s why I started the gaming channel so I can use the extra money to run the main at a loss and just focus on making the best videos possible. My end goal is to have Beast Shorts, Beast Reacts, and Beast Gaming all funneling money into the main so I can film videos that are so stupidly expensive they don’t make sense. Then leverage that attention to open a couple hundred food pantries/homeless shelters.”
Mr. Beast is currently the world’s richest YouTuber, with an estimated net worth of more than $105million.
‘I just want to make the best YouTube videos possible. I don´t really care about living in a mansion or driving a Lamborghini,’ he says. ‘I live to create content and I want to entertain people.’
