The main reason why he has amassed a global fan following is his simple way of interacting with people around him. No matter if it’s the video or real life, he remains the same person who talks just like a normal individual would, instead of throwing a celebrity tantrum. Most YouTubers do that these days, but MrBeast is totally different.

Another reason for his popularity is his amazing mind that never disappoints in coming up with the most stunning content ideas. On his channel, there’s hardly any video that hasn’t reached a massive viewership.

Also, his humbleness is the key to his reach across millions of fans not just in the US but in other countries as well. Hence, he is now the second-most subscribed solo YouTuber with a subscriber count of over 106 million.

What’s the total net worth of MrBeast in 2022?

There’s no doubt about the fact that popularity brings immense wealth to a person who becomes everyone’s favorite. It applies in the case of Jimmy as well. Thanks to his consistency in being appealing, the YouTuber has succeeded in attaining a net worth of $25 million, as of 2022, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

There are multiple factors for accumulating so much money. Apart from his popular videos on YouTube, MrBeast also keeps partnering with famous brands. As a result of his different deals with big companies, he ends up receiving millions of dollars.

For example, in the past, he has collaborated with brands like EA and even Microsoft to promote their products. Furthermore, he also partnered with brands like Nike and Champion.

Which is the most-viewed MrBeast video on YouTube?

Although he has made endless videos so far in his career and many of them have been huge hits, there’s one, in particular, that is on the brink of creating history. Last year, in November 2021, MrBeast uploaded a clip titled ‘$456,000 Squid Game in Real Life’. It was based on the hit Netflix series of the same name.

This video, since it was initially uploaded on YouTube, has garnered over 294 million views so far. This means that it’s on the verge of becoming the first-ever MrBeast video to cross 300 million views.

Speaking of other most-viewed videos of Jimmy, then he also came up with a clip featuring a dangerous Escape Room. This clip has generated more than 138 million views as of now. Then there’s one video in which the YouTuber built a real-life Willy Wonka‘s Chocolate Factory. It has amassed over 112 million views so far on the streaming platform.

This year has been very busy for MrBeast as he has interacted with a lot of fellow creators apart from working on his videos. Almost a month ago, he appeared in an episode for the FLAGRANT podcast series by Andrew Schulz. He sat down with his crew, talking about different aspects of his life and all the success he’s witnessing.

However, while talking about his future ambitions, he revealed that he’s very interested in making a Netflix show. And that he will make it on a huge scale, with multiple episodes involved.
