Mr Beast, one of the most renowned YouTubers, is reportedly earning significant revenue, as suggested by a recent leak.
This leak related to Mr Beast has sparked curiosity and confusion among internet users.
Jimmy Donaldson, widely known as Mr Beast, consistently garners millions of views through his videos that feature challenges, games, and various unique content offering cash prizes.
A disclosed document from ViewStats, covering January 20, 2025, to February 15, 2025, reveals how these views translate into monetary value.
The leaked information indicates that MrBeast’s YouTube Studio page recorded 2.688 billion views over the past 28 days, with total watch hours exceeding 162 million.
This staggering viewership was reportedly converted into $4.2 million. If valid, this suggests that Mr Beast’s main channel could be generating around $50 million annually.
Reactions on Twitter demonstrated surprise.
One user expressed: “That is not as much as I thought… is this off just one video?”
Another remarked: “Less than I imagined, to be honest.”
One individual commented: “Add the sponsors and we are looking at 7 mil a month, All deserved tho without any doubt.”
Someone else noted: “This is monthly. 90% of a larger creator’s income is ads.”
And another simply stated: “He’s rich either way you look at it.”
Despite the buzz, Mr Beast has not verified the authenticity of this leak.
The co-founder of ViewStats, also a member of MrBeast’s ‘Ideas & Thumbnails Team’, dismissed the screenshot as fake.
Nonetheless, he admitted it was ‘close enough’ in a response on Twitter.
He clarified: “Fake screenshot, so many things wrong it’s just inspect element.”
He further explained: “It’s close enough, just real time numbers and view abbreviations need to be fixed lol.”
Considering Donaldson’s additional ventures such as Amazon’s Beast Games, Feastables chocolate, and Lunchly, it’s plausible that his actual income may be even higher.
