A TikTok video has emerged of MrBeast being interviewed by Logan Paul about his billionaire status.
In the video posted to a fan TikTok account (unlimited_content_beast), Paul asks MrBeast about whether he’s hit the billion-dollar mark yet
In 2023, Time named him as one of the world’s 100 most influential people.

He has ranked on the Forbes list for the highest paid YouTube creator in 2022.
Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, earns $54 million annually, according to Forbes.
“Let’s be honest, you’re going to be YouTube’s first billionaire,” he said. “Has it happened?”
“No responds,” MrBeast.
“If I was it would obviously be paper – it’s like Beast Burger and stuff.
“Actual cash, I’m probably the poorest person in this room.”
Logan Paul scoffs at the idea – which is understandable considering MrBeast recently tipped a waitress with a car and gave an island to a subscriber.
The YouTuber explains further, saying that if he makes $3-4 million a month, “he just spends it on videos the next month”.
He describes his margins as “razor thin”.
Which could be true after how much he owes after offering two strangers $500,000 to survive 100 days trapped together was revealed.
The unbelievable amount MrBeast actually earns from YouTube was recently revealed, as Elon Musk made him an X offer.
Paul then asks him about the risks of a video not yielding the response he’d hoped for.
MrBeast responds that he puts as much into his videos as he gets out.
“As long as you’re reinvesting everything and you’re constantly innovating and adapting it’s pretty hard to fall off if you’re like putting in the effort,” he says.
To which Paul responds with what we’re all thinking: “That’s easy for you to say – all you do is put in the effort!”

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
