Chatting on Financian - a channel all about 'business, finance, investment and personal growth' - MrBeast spoke all about just how much money he's raking in from all of his companies.
The YouTube sensation first hit the scene back in 2012 and has since grown a huge empire online for pioneering a whole new genre of content on the platform.
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is no stranger to knowing exactly how to gain an audience - and a huge one at that.
Taking to Twitter last week (5 February), MrBeast revealed that 'almost 10%' of the entire world had tuned into his channel.
He posted: "Our Youtube channel has reached 616,000,000 different people in the last 90 days."
In the Financian interview, hosts began by asking MrBeast what his 'craziest cheque' was in history.
Teasing the information, the YouTuber revealed he once had an offer which he described as a 'pretty crazy one'.
When the hosts asked what it was, MrBeast explained that he was offered a staggering $1 billion for his channel and the companies surrounding it.
Not bad for a 20-something.
Some of the companies in question include a 'mobile game company', 'MrBeast burger' and 'Feastables'.
While MrBeast found the offer 'enticing' he eventually passed up on it, noting that he 'doesn't know' if he wants to work for his own YouTube channel.
Cutting to the chase, the hosts asked MrBeast: "What's your number right now?"
Stalling a bit, the YouTuber explained: "It's so crazy...I don't even want to say it."
Explaining his rejection of the offer a little more, he added: 'I'm thinking where I want to be', before explaining the numbers attached to just a handful of his income streams.
When pushed again to just 'say it', MrBeast finally revealed the mystery number that fans and businesses alike have been trying to work out.
"Probably like $10 billion, $20 billion," he said.
'Crazy' is correct.
As the chat came to an end, one of the hosts made an interesting comparison between MrBeast's reported company worth and another huge company in the world.
"You know what's crazy," he started, 'you're worth more than WhatsApp.'
According to Business of Apps, the communication app holds over two billion users and generated generated $906 million in 2022.
That figure stands in the shadows when compared to MrBeast's self-estimated company worth of up to $20 billion.
Not just a YouTube giant and reported multi-billionaire, MrBeast has taken it one step further and shared some thoughts about getting into politics.
The YouTuber sent out a poll to his Twitter followers asking them to decide whether or not he should run for U.S. President.
The poll was titled: "Would you vote for me if I ran for president?"
With over two million votes cast, the answer was very clear - as a resounding 70.1 per cent of voters said 'Yes'.
Who knows what's next in store for MrBeast...
