MrBeast is one of the most popular YouTubers in history and as a result he is certainly taking home the big bucks, according to this alleged leak.
MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, regularly wracks up millions of views for his videos that showcase challenges, games and all manner of oddities that end with cash prizes.
Regardless how you feel about them - or him for that matter - they bring in the big views often well surpassing his whopping 363 million subscriber count.
A leak showing metrics from ViewStats between January 20 2025 and February 15, 2025 shows what these views transfer into when we start talking dollars.

According to the leak, MrBeast’s YouTube Studio page shows 2.688B views for the last 28 days and over 162M watch hours total.
When it came to how that translated to cold, hard cash, several Twitter users were surprised
“That is not as much as I thought… is this off just one video?” one said.
Another added: “Less than I imagined, to be honest.”
MrBeast's whopping number of views converted into $4.2 million. If this is to be believed, this means that MrBeast’s main channel is earning him around $50 million a year.
Writing on Twitter, people revealed their shock.
However, others highlighted that MrBeast has a lot of fingers in a lot of pies and will be getting revenue streams from his other YouTube pages as well as other business ventures.
One person commented: “Add the sponsors and we are looking at 7 mil a month, All deserved tho without any doubt.”
Another added: “This is monthly. 90% of a larger creator's income is ads.”
And another simply wrote: “He’s rich either way you look at it.”
But before you get excited and start planning to start your own YouTube channel, MrBeast has not confirmed whether the leak is genuine or not.
A Twitter user called chucky, ViewStats co-founder and member of MrBeast’s 'Ideas & Thumbnails Team', said it’s a fake screenshot.
However, they added that it was ‘close enough’ as he responded to it on Twitter.
He said: “Fake screenshot, so many things wrong it’s just inspect element.”
He went on to add: “It’s close enough, just real time numbers and view abbreviations need to be fixed lol.”
With Donaldson’s success in Amazon’s Beast Games, Feastables chocolate and Lunchly, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the YouTuber’s income far surpassed that sum in reality.
UNILAD has contacted MrBeast for a comment.
