Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is one of the prospering YouTubers in the community. Expected to be the first YouTube billionaire, the young star has gone from earning no money to giving away nearly $8 million in 2022. But one does ask, at what point does earning money become important?

Known to invest a greater margin of his money in the production of his videos, the star still bags a larger amount of money from his businesses as well. One question that everyone has is the proper ratio of money and happiness. More so, at what point does money buy happiness, if it does? While everyone has their own opinion, MrBeast too has his own take on it.

MrBeast portrays his thoughts on money buying happiness

MrBeast and Lex Fridman recently appeared together on the podcast panel to discuss topics on social media, content creation, the future of MrBeast’s career, and many more. As the podcast reached its conclusion, Fridman asked, “Let me ask you the ridiculous question. Since you went from being broke to being rich, although you keep spending all your money, but does money buy happiness? How has money changed your contentment, your happiness in life?”

To this, Jimmy said, “Does money buy happiness? No, not… I mean, to a point, yes. Once you can take care of your health, you can take care of any immediate dangers, and you can take care of your family. Relatively, no, it doesn’t, but those things do.” 

Supporting his ideology, he said, “When I first came into money, one of the first things I did was retire my mom and that brought me tons of happiness, you know what I mean? And if my brother had a medical emergency and we couldn’t afford it, and I made money to afford it, that’d bring tons of happiness, you know?”

He continued, “So once you take care of those basic necessities, so we’ll say make over, hypothetically, a million dollars, no, it really doesn’t. Adding an extra zero, going from 10 million to 100 million, or whatever it is, makes no difference.” It can be imbibed that the young YouTuber understands money to bring/buy happiness till it fulfills basic necessities.

Therefore, this was MrBeast’s take on money when put against happiness. What do you think about this notion? Do share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
