The theories around MrBeast’s net worth are always trending on social media. While the official statistics remain a mystery to date, fans have even speculated the number to be in the billions. If these claims are to be trusted, MrBeast might be in the top tier of influencers in terms of valuation, or maybe the richest! The Forbes list of 50 Richest Influencers is out and we finally have an answer. 

Jimmy Donaldson aka MrBeast had been crowned the ‘King of YouTube’ a long time back. Today, the creator is nothing less than a brand. Moreover, the social media numbers of YouTubers across all platforms have witnessed phenomenal growth in recent times. Thus, the theory of him dominating the list of richest influencers seems like a smart rational guess. However, if your competition is with superstars like KSI, Logan Paul, Jake Paul, and Charli D’Amelio, a win isn’t a guarantee.
