Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, YouTube’s most-followed creator with over 363 million subscribers, allegedly leaked his monthly YouTube earnings, shocking fans with the reported figures.
A leaked screenshot from MrBeast’s YouTube Studio shows his main channel received 2.688 billion views and over 162 million watch hours in just 28 days. According to the leak, MrBeast’s estimated revenue for that period is over $4.2 million, which translates to nearly $50 million annually from his main YouTube channel alone.
While the numbers are impressive, some fans expressed surprise, expecting higher earnings given MrBeast’s global popularity. One user commented, “Is this from just one video?” while another remarked, “I thought the earnings would be higher.”
The authenticity of the earnings leak has been questioned. A co-founder of ViewStats, a YouTube metrics platform, and a member of MrBeast’s “Ideas & Thumbnails Team” dismissed the screenshot as fake. However, they admitted the numbers appeared “close enough” to reality, suggesting minor adjustments were needed for real-time data.
The leak, shared on X (formerly Twitter), claimed, “MrBeast’s YouTube analytics have allegedly leaked, showing over $4,000,000 in monthly revenue.” Although MrBeast has not commented publicly on the leak, estimates suggest his total earnings from YouTube could exceed $100 million annually, considering his multiple successful channels.

Beyond YouTube, MrBeast has built an expanding business empire. His ventures include Feastables Chocolate, Lunchly (a meal kit company), and Prime Hydration, which he co-founded with Logan Paul and KSI.
Despite the leak’s unverified status, MrBeast remains a dominant force on YouTube in terms of subscribers and revenue generation.
