Ad Sense
In simple words, Ad Sense refers to the revenue generated through advertisements that play throughout the videos. This is called CPM which varies from country to country. For instance, the CPM in Brazil will be lower than the CPM in countries like USA and Canada. However, it can be assumed that the average CPM is $5, which means creators get $5 dollars per thousand views. According to this calculation, for a video with 283 million views, MrBeast would earn 1.4 million net.
Sponsorships
According to reports, MrBeast charges $1 million to sponsors on his main YouTube channel. If it is assumed that he charges yet another $1 million on his other channels, it can be said that he earns around $2 million through sponsorships in one month.
Merchandise
MrBeast also makes a huge amount of money through his merchandise. For instance, last year he earned $54 million, out of which, approximately half the money came in from merchandise. This means that he earned around $2.25 million in March through merchandise, which can be assumed as $2 million, just to be conservative.
If we add these numbers, it would mean that MrBeast earned approximately $5.5 million in the month of March alone.

5. Being Anti-Christ and greedy?

The first round of surgeries was done by ophthalmologist Jeff Levenson in Jacksonville, Florida. He said that the YouTuber’s acts could benefit humanity. As per Sportskeeda, he said, “If MrBeast can light a fire, and if we can get governmental and private support behind it, we can end half of all the blindness in the world.
