A recent leak claiming to reveal MrBeast’s YouTube earnings has sparked widespread debate.
A screenshot circulating on social media suggested that Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, earned $4.23 million in the last 28 days from YouTube ads alone.
However, some industry insiders have dismissed the leak as fake, while others say the numbers are “close enough” with minor corrections.
With over 363 million subscribers and 72 billion total views, MrBeast is the most subscribed YouTuber.
While reports differ on his exact earnings, Forbes estimated his 2024 income at $85 million, while other sources claim he could be making around $50 million per month from various ventures, including Feastables, Beast Games, and Amazon partnerships.
Twitch streamer Tectone noted that 90% of a large creator’s income comes from ads, suggesting the leaked figure represents only a fraction of MrBeast’s total revenue.
Given his massive influence and business empire, his actual earnings could be far higher than the leaked numbers suggest.
