MrBeast may actually have the least.
The world’s most-subscribed-to YouTuber (real name Jimmy Donaldson) revealed that despite his $2.6 billion net worth on paper—due to owning more than half of his $5 billion company Beast Industries, according to Fortune—his bank statements are shockingly low.
“It’s funny talking about my personal finances, because no one ever believes anything I say,” Jimmy told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Jan. 2. “They’re like, ‘You’re a billionaire!’ I’m like, ‘That’s net worth.’ I have negative money right now.”
The 27-year-old added, “I’m borrowing money. That’s how little money I have. Technically, everyone watching this video has more money than me in their bank account if you subtract the equity value of my company, which doesn’t buy me McDonald’s in the morning.”
That’s all to say, if you put his debts aside, Jimmy does have some money on hand. He previously said he keeps less than $1 million in the bank and explained why that’s the case.
