MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is never one to mince his words.
Especially when it comes to money.
On an episode of the Full Send Podcast, he gave his opinion on TikTok…
Including his prediction for the app.
MrBeast was asked if TikTok would eventually take over his beloved YouTube…
He explained: “I thought the same but YouTube Shorts, they’ve really taken some huge strides.”
The reason? Money, of course!
“So starting in January, if you get like, hypothetically, a billion views on TikTok, whatever that is, that’s like $1,000. A billion views over here on YouTube? I mean, that could literally make you like $100,000,” MrBeast said.
The host then asked: “Is TikTok going to adapt to that, you think?”
To which MrBeast replied: “Yeah, I think they’re going to be forced to.”
He was also asked what he thought this meant for the biggest TikTok stars.
“Charli [D’Amelio], Addison [Rae] – all these people, if they can just literally do what they’re doing but over on YouTube and make a bag off of shorts and then on top of that, that boosts long form which makes even more money, you’re gonna be crazy to be a TikTok first content creator,” MrBeast said.
The YouTuber admitted that he sees a mass migration to YouTube Shorts in the future.
Where they will be able to, “‘gain subs, get more views on your long-form, and make f****** money.”
“You really think TikTok over here printing tens of billions of dollars is just overnight going to go, ‘You know what? Half of these tens of billions, we’re just gonna give it away.’
“All I’m saying is, once this Partner Program kicks into effect on Shorts, I think you’re gonna see a lot of big TikTokers coming over here,” he said.
And it’s clear MrBeast is enjoying the spoils of YouTube content creation…
He recently revealed a shocking income source to the world…
He has been paid $250,000 in the past for personalized videos for billionaire’s kids!
Now that’s got to be the easiest money ever, right?
According to Forbes, the twenty-four-year-old earned USD $54 million in 2021, with his net worth currently being USD $25 million.
And now he has hit another huge milestone…
MrBeast is officially the most subscribed YouTuber ever!
He has overtaken the previous titleholder, PewDiePie, and has 111 million subscribers and counting!
