Mr. Beast has become one of YouTube’s biggest stars by not only creating one of a kind content,
but also by giving away a lot of money. In fact, over the course of the past year alone,
Beast has given away over one million dollars in some of the most creative ways possible.
He gave a random homeless person an entire house!
He gave 10,000 dollars in tips to a waitress after only ordering water
10,000 dollars in tips to pizza delivery guys
Payed an Uber driver to basically take him across America.
But he probably could have just gotten one of his friends to drive him because he’s
bought a lot of them new cars!
Gave 100,000 dollars to random twitch streamers And most importantly of all, gave 100k to
his mom for all of the hard work she did raising him.
And that’s just the beginning of it. In this video we’re gonna take a look at everything
that Mr. Beast has bought over the past year and also take a look at how much money he makes.
According to Nailbuzz.com, Mr. Beast has a net worth of around 6 million dollars. With
over 16 million subscribers and 2.5 billion views, he could be making an average of 30k
per day.
Socialblade.com estimates that he could be making anywhere between $43.5k and 696.1k
per month and anywhere between $522.1K - $8.4M dollars annually. This guy truly is a beast
on YouTube.

of YouTube’s finest, Mr. Beast. If you’re new here, I’m the LA host for this channel
bringing you weekly content. I’m still not Michael’s younger brother or son no matter
how many times you tell us that we look alike. But I will take it as a compliment because
Michael is a very handsome man. Anyways, I’ve covered Ariana Grande, Jordyn Woods and Mia
Khalifa in other Rich Life videos so be sure to check those out after you finish watching
this one! The motto is better every video. So leave me a comment down below, let me know
how I did and who to cover next and I’ll try to respond to as many people as possible
within the first few hours. And like every Rich Life video, we’ll pose a question now
that you’ll have to wait until the end of the video to find out the answer to.
Today’s Question is:
“How many 1 dollar bills did Mr. Beast use to buy his brother a Camaro”
Alright. Let’s get into the video ya filthy animals!
Mr. Beast was born Jimmy Donaldson on May 7, 1998 in Greenville, North Carolina. When
he was around the age of 12, after having a funny moment with a hacker in a Facebook
game called Battle Pirates, he created his first YouTube channel. Eventually, he created
a second channel called MrBeast6000 so that he could post Minecraft videos, and from there
he kept uploading consistently on this channel over the course of the next few years. Despite
what many people think, it actually took Jimmy years to ever see substantial growth on his
channel. It fact, it took him 2 years to grow his channel to 1000 subscribers.
And he never gave up. He kept changing formats in his videos and adjusting the
content to what the audience wanted to see. Eventually, he found success with
a series called “Worst Intros” where he would basically roast the worst YouTube intros
On his channel. He started to grow pretty quickly, and then he started doing things
to catch viral moments like counting to 100,000
on camera, which took almost 24 hours straight. Reading the whole dictionary, which
took about 8 hours, saying Logan Paul’s name 100,000 times, which took about 17 hours.
and from there Mr. Beast’s popularity started to grow.
and, you know, after that he was able to do some of the most
amazing things in individual videos and create the most unique pieces of content,
that we've seen on this site in a long time, and he was also able to give away
a lot of money.
So, the question a lot of you guys are still asking is, how is this dude able to give out
so much cash like it’s nothing? Well, in short, for him, it sort-of, is nothing. What
I mean is, if you never had something, then it’s hard to lose it. Okay, so what I actually
mean is, that a lot of the money Mr. Beast gives away, wasn’t his money to begin with.
When Mr. Beast started doing giveaways, he would partner with brands, most popularly a sticker
app called Quid, who would give him $10,000 or more to promote their app on his channel,
and he would just give the money away. And that became the Mr. Beast partnership. Companies
would give him money to give away to people, knowing that millions of people would see
the video, that in turn, put millions of eyes on their brand. Now of course, those millions
of views would also generate a lot of ad revenue for Mr. Beast, so, he recouped much of his costs.
But, he told Logan Paul in a recent interview that up until 6 months ago, he wasn’t
making any money off of YouTube because he was spending so much money on each month’s videos
He does have a lot of merch that he sells and regularly updates with new stuff, so
that has become one of his biggest sources of income. In fact, he planned to raise 2 million
dollars through his merch store so that he could buy Pewdiepie a Super Bowl ad before
later worrying that they would deny his commercial request and he'd be left with
2 million dollars and not know what to do with it. The guy is dedicated to the cause, I'll give him that.
Alright, so let’s get into what Mr. Beast spends his money on. First and foremost, the
guy spends a lot on making the best videos possible. He’s said for years now that his
only goal in life, at least at this point, is to become the best and second biggest YouTuber
in the world. He still wants to leave the top spot for PewDiePie. But in order to be
the best YouTuber and cut through the thousands of videos uploaded every second to this site,
you’ve got to not only have creative ideas, but you have to be able to execute those ideas
with high quality production value. So how much does that level of video quality cost?
Well let’s take a look at some of his most popular videos.
One of his most popular videos is called “I Put 100 million Orbeez in my friend’s backyard,”
where he does just that. And, the video has over 50 million views!
On Amazon, a package of 50,000 orbeez costs 6.99, and assuming he has prime, it was free
shipping.
So I did some quick maths…
* calculates
Yup.
100,000,000 divided by 50,000 per bottle equals 2000 bottles of Orbeez. Which at $6.99 per
bottle would equal $13,980. So yeah, that’s a decent amount of money to spend
on one video.
In the video called “Last to remove hand, Gets Lamborghini Challenge” where, the last
person to remove their hand from the car actually gets a Lambo. The winner was gonna get a 20,000
1999 Lambo on Ebay… the winner ended up splitting the 20k with the other guys who
participated, but either way, Beast spent 20 grand on the video. With 33 million views
on it though, he probably made that back.
Speaking of cars, he also has a video called “Destroying my friend’s car and surprising
him with a new one” where he does just that. Gotta hand it to Mr.Beast for really living
out his video titles.
In the video they had a can of spray paint which costs around 15 bucks.
Three buckets of slime which will probably cost around 30 bucks, actual explosives to
blow up the car, which I don’t wanna search up the cost of, just in case anyone is looking
through my search history.
FBI, open up!
And oh yeah, 10k on a new car for his friend. With more than
27 million views, I’m sure he recouped that money pretty easily also.
In one of his videos, they build a Lego house using 1 million pieces of Lego.
Now, on Amazon the cost of 1,040 pieces of miscellaneous Lego is $25.99
So… Some more quick maths.
*calculates
Gotta carry the 2
To get to a million that will equal 961.5 boxes, but since you can’t buy half a box,
it would take 962 boxes to get to a million pieces of Lego,
which equals out to $25,002.38 cents. Plus he got some snacks, and a rug which we’ll
say was probably about 40 bucks combined
And He ordered a large pep and large cheese pizza
According to the website fastfoodmenuprices.com, which does exactly what you think it would
do, a large pepperoni pizza from Pizza hut costs about 14.99 and a large cheese pizza
costs the same. Which is a good deal for the pepperoni pizza because an additional topping
seems to cost nothing! So, that’s a total of $25,072 dollars and
36 cents for the Lego house video. Which is probably less than it cost Ed Sheeran to make
the music video for his song called Lego House. I mean, he got Ron Weasley to play his stalker
in the video! That’s gotta cost at least 150 points from Griffindor
In his video “Breaking Glass using only megaphones”
He bought more than a hundred megaphones.
On Amazon, the ones he used cost 12 dollars. So quickly, 12 x 150 = $1800 bucks. That was
a light video for them. Plus some glass and headphones, he was probably only looking at
around 2 grand for that video.
But besides the actual cost of his videos, Mr. Beast spends a lot of money on just giving
back to people. Which also doubles as great content.
He first gave a homeless man 10,000 dollars. Then he gave ten homeless people 1,000 dollars
each, and then, if that wasn’t enough, he actually bought a homeless man a home, like
a real house!! The video was sponsored by the browser extension Honey.
He donated $10,000 to attractive twitch streamers, 30,000 to Ninja for charity
He bought a car using only pennies. Well and some quarters, nickels and dimes, and it equaled
out to 12,000 dollars.
And he bought a yellow Camero for his brother, using only $1 bills, techinically 17 thousand
one dollar bills coming straight from his own pocket.
And there is the answer to your question!
But the list goes on and we could go on for days here. As you can see, Mr. Beast doesn’t really spend much
on himself, in fact, he gives away almost everything he earns to other people.
I know there has been some controversy over Mr. Beast in the past, you can think he uses
people for clout and subscribers, you can think he exploits charity for views, but love
or hate the guy, my opinion is, he truly is using his platform to make an impact on the lives of
a lot of people in the world. You can be upset at who he spends his money on, but regardless,
he is changing a lot of lives using his passion and has given an incredible life to all of
those who are around him and the people who came up with him.
