YouTuber MrBeast has said he is borrowing money from his mother to pay for his wedding, despite his net worth hitting $1 billion.
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, runs one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world, with over 400 million subscribers, and is worth $85 million, according to a Forbes estimate in October last year.
But Donaldson said on Tuesday that he has to borrow money from his mother to pay for his wedding because he invests most of his earnings.
I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think this year we’ll spend around a quarter of a billion on content). Ironically i’m actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol
But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot.

He was replying to Dexerto, a media company that covers news about influencers, streamers, gaming and viral content, which had posted: “MrBeast is now the only billionaire under 30 to not have inherited his wealth.”
