Summary
FamousYouTubecontent creator MrBeast is currently the youngest billionaire who hasn’t inherited his wealth from someone else, like a parent. It’s just one of the stunning figures surrounding MrBeast, who has gradually built his empire, beginning with his firstYouTubevideo upload way back in 2012.
This empire has also led to MrBeast reaching some impressive figures, becoming the youngest billionaire to not inherit their wealth. According to calculations fromCelebrity Net Worth, it’s believed that MrBeast has a net worth of $1 billion at this time, and he is one of just sixteen billionaires who are under the age of 30. Of those, fourteen inherited their wealth, making MrBeast just one of the two self-made individuals among them, and the youngest. While his net worth is still a far cry from some of the most well-known billionaires on the planet, like Elon Musk and Bill Gates, it’s a thoroughly impressive achievement.
How MrBeast Built His Empire
MrBeast got his start like many YouTubers, sharing videos of gameplay footage, starting out in 2012. By 2016, his channel had grown enough that he dropped out of college and began focusing entirely on his YouTube career, which got him kicked out of his childhood home by his parent. His YouTube channel began to grow rapidly with the production of challenge videos. As his channel grew, he put most of the money earned from it back into producing projects, including a number of competitions that gave away large sums of money to winners.
MrBeast has also expanded his brand to encompass way more than YouTube videos. Part of his net worth and fame is now made up by additional ventures, like MrBeast Burger, his Feastables chocolate, the Lunchables-like Lunchly product in partnership with KSI and Logan Paul, and theAmazon seriesBeast Games. Not all of it has led to profit, though, with MrBeast claiming that he lost millions in the production of the Amazon show.
While there has also been a lot ofcontroversy around MrBeastover the years, there’s no denying that he’s been an extraordinarily successful individual. Where he goes from here and whether he continues to rise through the ranks of billionaires remains to be seen, but so far, his popularity shows no signs of stopping.
