MrBeast is the richest creator in the world as Forbes releases 2022’s top 50 list

MrBeast didn't seem overjoyed by the announcement though

MrBeast has been named as the richest creator in the world by Forbes. The YouTuber earned the number one spot in the magazine's 2022 Top Creator's list. According to Forbes, the 24-year-old earned a ridiculous $54m in 2021, having 162 million followers, an average engagement of 5.99 percent and entrepreneurship score of three. He wrote: "Couple edits, I have more than 160 mil followers. Our channels have 200+ mil subs alone. The entrepreneur score seems off, some of my friends with sub 10 employees scored the same as ones with 100+ lol.

Last year, the creator made headlines after creating a real-life version of Squid Game. This saw 456 people take part in his own version of the hit Netflix show which he had almost perfectly recreated - at a cost of around $3.5m - with contestants bidding to win $456,000. Obviously there was no death involved but each contestant was even fitted with a little explosive dye patch on their stomach to make it look like they had been shot, just like in the series. It became his most viewed video, and has been watched 287 million times.
