MrBeast becomes only self-made billionaire under 30 as net worth hits $1 billion

MrBeast joins billionaires list at 27, becoming the only under-30 member without inherited wealth, reports say.

Jimmy Donaldson, widely known as MrBeast, has officially become the world’s only self-made billionaire under the age of 30.

At 27, the American YouTuber and entrepreneur has reached a net worth of $1 billion, according to CelebrityNetWorth.

Donaldson reportedly earns around $50 million per month and has a combined following of 396 million across his YouTube channels. He first confirmed his billionaire status earlier this year on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO podcast, stating, “Yeah. But in my actual bank account, I have less than one million.”

He added, “[I pay myself] a little bit, but I also have some assistants and things like that, so I try to pay myself what I spend personally, a month, just to stay even.”

MrBeast recently celebrated the milestone with a social media post recreating the viral “Hood MrBeast” meme, captioned, “You guys can stop asking me to recreate the meme now 😭.” The image showed him holding stacks of cash, a nod to his internet persona.

Donaldson’s rise to billionaire status sets him apart from peers like PewDiePie and the Stokes Twins, making him the only content creator in that tier to have built his fortune independently.
