AI Summary

Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, says that despite his $2.6 billion net worth and running a $5 billion entertainment empire, he is cash‑poor and often has to borrow money. He told the Wall Street Journal that his personal bank balance is insufficient even for everyday purchases like McDonald’s, and that most viewers likely have more cash on hand than he does after accounting for his company’s equity.
