We spend the whole day watching YouTube videos on our mobile phones. We waste time watching cooking tips, movie trailers, comedy videos, etc. But if I tell you that someone is earning hundreds of crores of rupees every month using this YouTube, will you believe me?
Yes, a news that went viral on social media recently caught my attention and I widened my eyes in surprise! World famous YouTuber **Mr. Beast** is earning more than 415 crore rupees every month through his YouTube channel! Who is this person? What is his address? How does he earn so much money? Today we are going to talk about all these things in simple terms.
### Who is this Mr. Beast? (Name and Identity)
First of all, let's find out what his real name is. Although we call him 'Mr. Beast' on YouTube, his real name is **Jimmy Donaldson**. This young man, who is just 28 years old, is ruling the entire digital medium today.
If you look at his birthplace and address:
* **Birthplace:** Wichita, Kansas, United States (USA).
* **Current address:** Greenville, North Carolina, United States.
He has built his entire video shooting studio and empire in the city of Greenville.
### An empire of 480 million subscribers!
For a typical YouTuber, having one lakh or one million subscribers is a big deal. But if you combine Mr. Beast's main channel and his other sub-channels (including Hindi, Tamil and Telugu), his subscriber count is more than **480 million**! This means that one-third of our entire Indian population follows him.
Their videos are like that, they are made on a budget that no one can even imagine. They spend crores of rupees to make videos. For example: "Give a luxurious bungalow to the last resident of this place", "Give a car to those who adopt street dogs", "We donate money for eye surgery for the poor", etc. The idea behind their videos is very different and amazing.
### 415 crores per month! How is all this possible?
It is difficult for even the CEOs of big companies in our country to earn so much money. But how does Jimmy Donaldson earn this money? The reason is not only YouTube views.
1. **YouTube advertising:** Each of his videos is watched by at least 10 to 20 crore people, so he earns crores of rupees from advertising.
2. **Big brand endorsements:** The world's leading companies showcase their products in his videos.
3. **His business:** He does much more than just making videos. He has his own chocolate brand called 'Fistables' and a big food chain business called 'Mr. Beast Burger'. Through this, he earns huge profits.
### He is not only a 'Beast' in earning money, he is also great in charity work!
This is the most important thing that we all need to know. Mr. Beast is not just a person who earns money and deposits it in the bank. He donates a large part of the money he earns from other videos to people.
He performs free eye surgeries on thousands of blind people, digs hundreds of wells for drinking water in African villages, distributes food to millions of hungry people... His humanitarian service is truly immense. "I don't want a single penny in my bank account before I die, I want to give that amount of money to the society."
### Friends, what do you think?
A simple young man who started making videos in a small room at the age of 13 is now earning 415 crores every month. It seems that there is continuous hard work and creativity behind this. Instead of wasting time watching video clips on social media, if we think of something new, won't our lives change?
