Jimmy Donaldson is a genius when it comes to marketing and content creation. Better known as MrBeast, he is already in the debate about whether he is the best YouTuber in history. And by income, he probably is. From starting out making YouTube videos, he has created an entire empire.
That’s why he is at the top of Forbes’ ‘Top Creators 2024’, which reflects the most successful content creators of the past year. More than 500 million followers across the different networks give rise to incredible earnings as reflected in the publication.
MrBeast, in the ‘top’ of the content creators according to Forbes
The renowned website, famous for its rankings of great personalities, has also wanted to do the same with content creators. In first place they have placed MrBeast, highlighting his more than 320 million subscribers on his main YouTube channel or his more than nine billion views.
These, along with his various projects such as his ‘Feastables’ candy bars or his Amazon show ‘Beast Games’, are said to have led him to earn $85 million in 2024, more than anyone else on the list.
The streamer has several channels in addition to his main one, where he uploads his videos in other languages, thus generating income from different communities. He also has one dedicated solely to philanthropy, where everything he collects goes to those most in need, and another dedicated to gaming with more than 46 million subscribers.
An eminence capable of bringing together the best
Last year, MrBeast became even more of a star. He was able to bring together the world’s leading content creators at his own event. He held a ‘Squid Game’ among them, in which only one could win.
This is the first time that such stars have come together, and it is likely to be the last. MrBeast achieved a magical result, which has led to more Americans being known in the Spanish community, and Ibai, Rubius or Nil Ojeda, for example, to be better known in the American community.
