Here's why MrBeast's main YouTube channel with 156M subscribers is considered a loss maker
Millions of dollars are reportedly spent on MrBeast's videos. These include crazy deeds like developing his own Squid Game and giving out thousands of dollars to complete strangers. MrBeast was able to create his empire using this as the foundation and pillars for his channel.
However, some sources claim the official MrBeast channel has a fairly distinctive feature. Despite having a huge reach, they say that the primary channel is a loss-maker.

Is his channel a loss-maker?
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is a content creator who enjoys investing all into his projects. He has lived by this maxim from the start of his career, and it has earned him a particular place in the hearts of his followers. His primary channel accidentally boomed as a result of this. But in a podcast with Jason Nash, something intriguing was reportedly brought up in relation to the main channel's earnings.
Discussions suggest that MrBeast's official channel doesn't generate as much revenue as its supporters believe. However, this does not necessarily imply that the channel is not earning any money. Donaldson's primary channel follows a similar pattern to his charitable channel, the proceeds of which are donated to worthy organizations.
The money made from the MrBeast's YouTube channel is probably used to create even more bizarre stuff.
Major income through gaming and reaction channels
The debates also noted that Jimmy's sources of money are probably from the gaming and reactions channels. The MrBeast franchise is supposedly worth more than a billion dollars, according to the podcast. We've also heard stories that Donaldson turned down a business proposition for his brand. This is a sizable sum, but as was already indicated, MrBeast uses the revenues to continue making the entertainment he enjoys.
The addition of many languages in the MrBeast channel is another fascinating aspect that is now visible. Jimmy is attempting to apply the same concept as Netflix, which enables customers to watch episodes and movies in local languages. This would unite all of his supporters, who are dispersed all over the world.
