MrBeast is one of the biggest names in the YouTube business, and boasts a subscriber list larger than the entire population of the United States.
Nearly everyone under the age of 30 has probably sat down to watch one of the 27-year-old's videos, whether you prefer his huge recreation of Squid Game or his more philanthropic ideas, such as a recent one which saw two million people in Malawi receive clean water for the first time.
While you might not like the idea of someone spending huge amounts of money on wacky ideas that see people rewarded for training non-stop in a gym or refusing to leave a circle, a lot of the YouTubers videos - real name Jimmy Donaldson - go towards creating a better world, with his charitable videos proving that he does at least have his head in the right place.
And considering MrBeast has just admitted how much he is worth, it can only be a good thing that he's doing so much good, as there's certainly plenty of billionaires out there who might use their almost unlimited funds for something a little less humanitarian.

In a recent live stream hosted by internet personality and streamer Adin Ross, Jimmy was asked about his true net worth.
Adin asked: "Jimmy, are you a billionaire? Be honest," to which he replied: "Yeah."
He added: "What would you say the largest YouTube channel in the world is worth?"
While his casual admission left much of the world shocked, it's perhaps no surprise that MrBeast is worth so much, given his videos have been watched 92 billion times, while he also has other successful business ventures, including Feastables and MrBeast burger.

It isn't the first time the content creator has been candid about his massive earnings on the internet, as he also revealed how much money he had in his bank account during an interview with Steven Bartlett on the Diary of a CEO podcast.

He said: "In my actual bank account, I have less than $1 million (£793,000)."
"[I pay myself] a little bit, but I also have some assistants and things like that, so I try to pay myself what I spend personally, a month, just to stay even."
So, it might be time to revisit that YouTube channel you made when you were 11 because MrBeast is proof that perseverance is key to finding success in the world of content creation.

After all, his first viral video was literally just him counting to 100,000.
