Mr. Beast Confirms He's a Billionaire ‘on Paper’

Mr. Beast has revealed he has already crossed billionaire status when it comes to his finances.

During an appearance on Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast, Mr. Beast opened up about his life and various businesses. At one point, Bartlett asks Beast if he's a billionaire, and the Internet personality confirms he is while adding the money in his bank account is much less.

"On paper, yeah. But in my actual bank account, I have less than one million," said Beast. "[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."

Beast added that he looks at money as "fuel to grow a business" and that people should find business opportunities that they "enjoy, are better for mother nature, or Earth, or people', as it would lead to a "fulfilled life."

According to a Forbes article published last year highlighting the highest earners in their Top Creators list, Mr. Beast came in at No. 1 with an insane $85 million made in annual earnings. Beast has built a platform with over 500 million followers across several social media platforms and 9 billion views on YouTube in 2024 alone, and he's still doing numbers despite several controversies that have come across his desk.

One of Beast’s most profitable business ventures is Feastables, which he revealed is the largest ethically sourced chocolate company in the country. Another one of his brands, MrBeast Burger, has bumped up to over 2,000 virtual locations across the globe.
