When someone says the word celebrity, someone that usually pops into people’s minds is a famous artist or an athlete. However, with the growth of content creation, there is a new era of celebrities coming through. Unlike the conventional idea of a celebrity, these content creators became popular because of the way they create content on online platforms such as Twitch or YouTube. One of these celebrities is MrBeast. Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson quickly dominated YouTube, with his spectacular videos. He amassed over 100 million subscribers on YouTube. In the process, he was among the list of millionaires emerging from the platform.

Following this, MrBeast invited NFL Legend and former quarterback Tom Brady to be a part of the ‘$1 V.S. $1 Billion Yatch’ video. After the video, fans wondered how Donaldson’s net worth sizes up against Tom Brady’s. Here is a look into an in-depth comparison between the two celebrities’ wealth!

MrBeast’s net worth

Take a look first at MrBeast, he is a YouTuber with humble beginnings on the platform. Initially uploading videos of him playing video games, Donaldson quickly moved on to making challenge-based videos, such as his ’24 hours underwater challenge’. This was the early stage of his meteoric rise to stardom. Fans began flocking to his channel, mainly due to the scale of his content. As a result, he quickly overtook Pewdiepie in subscriber count. At the moment, MrBeast’s subscribers come in at 160 million.

Now what does this mean for his net worth? To begin with, with a massive subscriber count of over 160 million viewers, the channel has a healthy viewership. On average, every single video that he releases gets 40 million views.

Donaldson expanded the MrBeast brand outside YouTube. Firstly, he opened MrBeast Burger. This online venture sold burgers by collaborating with 300 restaurants across the United States. In terms of figures, one million burgers were sold three months after launch. Even more astounding is that MrBeastBurger selling five million burgers to this date, according to data from Forbes.

MrBeast also expanded into the food market with Feastables. He used the MrBeast brand to create a range of chocolate bars to sell to people. It was a big hit among fans, reaching 70 million in sales just in 2021. Feastables were available in around 4700 Walmart stores. Donaldson remains the majority owner, with other investors bringing in money. According to Forbes, investors poured in $5 million for 20%. By this calculation, Feastables is worth $25 million.

Additionally, MrBeast also introduced $250000 into the brand from the Creative Juice financial network in exchange for equity in 2021. As of 2023, his net worth is estimated to be somewhere in the region of $105 million. However, it does not stop there. With the way things are going at the moment, there is speculation MrBeast could be the first billion-dollar YouTube brand! MrBeast’s brand is currently valued at over $500 million.

MrBeast re-invests money he earns from YouTube back into the channel. Given the massive sets they create and the amount of money it takes for these videos, it is no surprise MrBeast expanded the brand to sell merch, Feastables, and burgers. The amount of work that went into the Squid Games video required a whole room full of people working on CGI.

Regardless, the young boy from North Carolina came a long way from his initial work under the username MrBeast6000.

Tom Brady’s net worth

Over the last few decades of the NFL, Tom Brady is a name that stands out from the crowd. An era-defining player, he truly became the GOAT for football fans. Along the way, he made hefty additions to his pocket. Throughout his career, Brady first played for the New England Patriots during a 20-year stint. He then moved to the Tampa Bay Buccanneers.

For starters, a majority of Brady’s net worth comes from his income as an NFL player. During his years as a quarterback, the NFL legend signed numerous contracts that earned him a lot of money. First, his contract from June 2000 was a rookie deal valued at $866500. Once Brady pushed the Patriots to win the Super Bowl, he signed a massive four-year extension worth $29.6 million. Following this, he signed several extensions, with values that kept touching the skies.

He signed an extension in 2005 for five years worth $42.8 million, a four-year deal worth $72 million extension. In 2016, Brady signed a two-year extension in a $41 million deal. This came after the Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2014. In 2018 when he signed a two-year contract worth $30 million, and a final single-year contract worth $23 million in 2019.

Having spent 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, the NFL legend made a move to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, making $98 million along the way.

His total income from his time spent as a football player comes up to $332962392. This includes a deduction caused due to salary Brady forfeited as part of the Deflategate controversy. Remember, this number is only his earnings on the field!

Off the field, he signed brand endorsement deals worth $52 million. This brings his total net worth to $300 million as of 2023.

Who has a higher net worth: MrBeast or Tom Brady?

Based on these numbers, it is clear Brady does have a greater net worth than Mr Beast. However, this may not be the case for long. At the rate at which MrBeast grows popular, it may not be long before he overtakes the NFL GOAT. Having already overtaken Khaby Lame in terms of social media popularity, MrBeast is touted to become one of the first YouTube billionaires.
