How MrBeast got rich is a question frequently leveled at the extravagantly generous YouTube personality, but as he donates so much to charitable causes, it has become a recurring query. While he started as a gaming streamer, Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a MrBeast, is an internet sensation whose YouTube channel has racked up over 6 billion views since he began in 2012 at 13 years old. Over two decades later, MrBeast has over 217 million subscribers on his main account, while MrBeast Gaming has over 30 million. Donaldson’s fanbase is a critical factor in making him one of the wealthiest YouTubers ever.
