Court documents reveal YouTube star MrBeast expects to make $700 million in revenue this year, three times what he made last year

YouTube celebrity Jimmy Donaldson, known by his username MrBeast, aims to earn $700 million in revenue this year, according to court documents.

Donaldson, 26, is the most-subscribed-to YouTube creator, with 279 million subscribers (that number will likely have increased by the time you read this).

His projected earnings for 2024 are about three times as much as the $223 million in revenue Donaldson’s businesses generated last year, according to the documents.

Donaldson’s revenue was outlined in a court filing related to ongoing litigation tied to a lawsuit Donaldson filed against the partner company behind his virtual dining chain, MrBeast Burger.

Puck earlier reported on the revenue figures.

Donaldson has been trying to shut down the ghost kitchen behind MrBeast Burger. In 2023, he filed a series of lawsuits, which are still being litigated.

A July suit filed against MrBeast Burger’s partner company, Virtual Dining Concepts, alleges it had served “low quality,” sometimes “inedible” food.

Aside from burgers, the MrBeast empire spans several other business ventures, including a chocolate and snack brand, Feastables; charity, Beast Philanthropy; and a partnership with Amazon Prime for a reality competition series called “Beast Games.”

His business earns money in various ways. The court documents outlined his revenue sources and assets, including content, commerce, and real estate.

For content, MrBeast’s main revenue streams are his several YouTube channels, sponsorships, licensing and content syndication, and merchandise. He also runs an internal international dubbing studio, CreatorGlobal, and an analytics platform, ViewStats.

He owns several YouTube channels, including Beast Philanthropy and MrBeast Gaming, and channels in Spanish, French, Russian, and Arabic, among other languages.

The court documents also revealed plans to launch two commerce businesses: a mobile game and a beverage.

Donaldson and his business reside in Greenville, North Carolina. He recently told comedian Howie Mandel that he lives in his company’s warehouse, “when my girlfriend is in town, I’ll go to a house. But it’s much easier to stay here because then I don’t have to drive a lot.”

MrBeast’s team did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
