You don't get to earn the title of the world's most-subscribed YouTuber without expecting some downsides from all the fame and fortune. Even though we don't know the exact net worth of Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson, it's safe to assume that he's amassed quite a fortune over the years. Not bad for a guy who started with Minecraft Let's Plays.
Making his fortune on YouTube, MrBeast has since branched out with ventures like Festables, Lunchly, and two seasons of Amazon's Beast Games. Despite finally seeming to admit he's a billionaire, Donaldson recently did some damage control by saying he's currently 'cash-poor' and is having to borrow money to pay for his wedding.
Then again, with his most recent video having 88 million views in 12 days, and his most successful one clocking up 902 million views, he's still everywhere.

MrBeast's profile has continued to skyrocket in recent years thanks to various rounds on the media circuit, saying he'll start his own mobile network, and even teasing a potential presidential run.
With all his fame, Donaldson said he has a few specific rules when it comes to meeting his adoring fans. Whereas celebrities including Scarlett Johansson, Justin Bieber, and Jennifer Lawrence are said to swerve photos with fans, MrBeast does it on his own terms.
Speaking on Steve-O’s Wildride! Podcast (via Dexerto), the YouTube megastar explained why it can be a 'death sentence' unless you take the photos for fans and get out of there sharpish: "If someone asks you for a photo and you go yes and then you let them hand the phone to their mom, you’re cooked.
"It’s like a f**king flare in the middle of Walmart for everyone to start lining up, just ruining our trip."
As for the death sentence bit, he continued: "You have to understand, it’s a death sentence if it’s not quick because, again, when you take photos in public, it causes everyone to turn and look, and lines form, and then it just gets bad because once a line forms, people just want a photo because other people are getting a photo."

Instead, MrBeast tends to take the device from someone and take the photograph before dashing off.
Having previously been thrown out of stores for inadvertently starting a mob, Donaldson seems to have things down to a fine art.
He concluded: "We like our fans and we’re not pieces of s*it, it’s just a factual thing. If we don’t take it quick enough, things just go bad, and it’s something that’s very hard to understand, but you’ve just got to take our word for it."
Even though the content creator has spent whole days taking thousands of photos on a 'conveyor belt', that's at specific events that are organized by his team. When it comes to seeing MrBeast in the wild, you'd better be quick getting your snap.
