The philanthropist and entrepreneur currently has a net worth of an estimated $54 million, reported by Forbes, according to website Marca. On the other hand, his monthly salary ranges between $3 million and $5 million. Not to mention that he’s one of the highest paid YouTubers across the globe.

MrBeast’s net worth is more than Antonio Brown and Colin Kaepernick

Diving deeper into his massive profit-making YouTube career, then MrBeast has gained a star status these days. Moreover, his estimated net worth is even higher than some of the famous NFL faces in the world. To name a few, there is Antonio Brown, the first player in the league’s history to have more than 1,000 yards receiving and returning in a single year.

Speaking of Brown’s net worth, then it currently sits at an estimated $20 million, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth. Although he had $77 million of NFL contracts, he didn’t end up earning all of that money.

Another NFL star player that MrBeast has surpassed is Colin Kaepernick. The latter is an American civil rights activist, apart from being a former quarterback. During his tenure, he played six seasons for the San Francisco 49ers.

Most notably, during the 2013 season, he helped the 49ers to reach the NFC Championship Game. When it comes to Kaepernick’s earnings, he too is reported to have a net worth of $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

MrBeast, on the other hand, with an estimated net worth of $54 million is clearly ahead of both these NFL stars.

How has MrBeast’s net worth grown in years?

As reported by Celebrity Net Worth, MrBeast makes around $3-5 million each month from ads alone. But going back a little earlier in his career, then he’s really come a long way from his younger days on YouTube.

In 2017, he gained major recognition after the release of his video “counting to 100,000”. In that clip, he spent 44 hours counting to 100,000 and then the rest became history. The video went onto receive more than 21 million views.

Talking about his YouTube journey, in the last five years, then it’s been nothing less than a dream run. Currently, he has more than 90 million subscribers and is on his way to become the second individual after PewDiePie to reach 100 million subscribers.

Thanks to this growing popularity, he has managed to make big strides in the earnings as well. Also, he once raised $20 million for his initiative of planting 20 million trees.
