MrBeast Is Worth $2.6b But Has A “Negative” Income, Here’s How That’s Possible

Can’t afford McDonald’s? He’s in the big leagues now.

The world’s most popular YouTuber (no, not Steve1989MREInfo), Mr ‘Jimmy’ Beast, might be worth $2.6 billion but technically he’s broke and honestly, it’s not surprising.

Because we all know by now that this is how the ultra wealthy operate. The world’s richest man, Elon Musk is famously cash poor, securing massive bank loans by using his stock options as collateral, getting another loan when the first runs out and just all round running a ponzi scheme.

Well, now MrBeast can say he’s made it because he’s entering the same boat. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal to promote his new TV show (remember, everthing is an advert) Jimmy had this to say, “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.”

MrBeast? More like mr yeast, amiright?

He’s covered this a few times in the press, saying that he reinvests all the money he makes into his videos. Posting on X, Donaldson said, “I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think this year we’ll spend around a quarter of a billion on content). Ironically I’m actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding but sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot.”

The post was in response to someone claiming that he didn’t inherit his wealth but guys, he’s literally called ‘Donaldson’, you think he didn’t get even a little bit of money from daddy Trump?

But there you have it. Maybe you, dear reader, and Mr Beasty boy have more in common than you think. Maybe you’re not such a failure after all. Maybe the next time your mom asks you to pay her back for the one time she paid for your bail after you accidentally committed an arson, you can just say that actually, MrBeast wouldn’t be able to pay you back either so I’m not a useless bum actually.
