MrBeast says he's borrowing from his Mom to pay for wedding despite $1B net worth
ALBAWABA - MrBeast reveals surprising wedding struggles despite massive billion-dollar business empire.
MrBeast, whose actual name is Jimmy Donaldson, stated that he has "very little money" and needs his family's help to pay for his upcoming wedding to content producer Thea Boysen, even though his estimated net worth is $1 billion.
Responding late Sunday, June 1, 2025, to a post on X that called MrBeast "the only billionaire under 30 who didn't inherit his fortune," the YouTuber, who has more than 400 million subscribers, took action. He stated, "I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think we'll spend about a quarter of a billion dollars this year on content)."
He continued, "Ironically, I'm actually borrowing money from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding, lol," going on to say, "But on paper, the businesses I own are very valuable."
Mr. Beast isn't satisfied with only sharing his movies on social media, where he offers absurd antics and substantial cash rewards. In addition, he hosts the reality competition show "Beast Games," which gave a record-breaking $10 million reward to the winner of its inaugural season.
During Amazon's annual presentation last May, it was revealed that the most popular Prime Video series would be renewed for a second and third season.

According to reports, Mr. Beast first encountered Poison in 2022 when she was in her native South Africa. A month or so later, the pair started dating, and in April 2022, they made their red carpet debut together at the Kids' Choice Awards.
The two content creators hinted at their wedding plans at the time and wanted to keep the big day out of the spotlight when they exclusively told People magazine that they were engaged on Christmas Day 2024.
According to Best, "This will definitely be a warmer, more family-friendly, more private time," she told People magazine at the time. Because of my hectic work schedule, I don't have much time off, so I really want the wedding to be an opportunity to celebrate with her and spend time with our loved ones. It will be the most enjoyable way to enjoy time away from home.

Angelina Jolie accused of 'Haunting' Brad Pitt during his NYC movie premiere
ALBAWABA - Angelina Jolie has been accused of "haunting" her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, after she appeared in New York while he was promoting his latest film, "F1." During Pitt's press tour, the ex-couple, who were embroiled in a bitter court dispute over their Chateau Miraval winery, allegedly nearly collided. Brad Pitt allegedly "loved" having girlfriend Ines de Ramon around during the premiere and claims to have discovered the "perfect" match in her. US actress, director Angelina Jolie (Photo by Valery HACHE / AFP) After completing their divorce last year, Jolie and her ex-husband, Pitt, ran the danger of an embarrassing run-in in New York this week. While in New York City to promote his latest film, "F1," Pitt and his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, stayed at the Whitby Hotel in midtown. Jolie unexpectedly made an appearance in the city as well; however, it's still unknown why she traveled to New York. "Angelina said she was going to move to New York two years ago but didn't quite get the glowing reception she thought she deserved, so she went back to LA," a source in Hollywood told News Nation. "It's just insane that Angelina would show up in the city the same week as Brad's premiere," said the insider. She simply cannot tolerate him receiving favorable press. She seems to be haunting him. Although it is unclear why Angelina Jolie showed up in New York during Pitt's movie premiere, Page Six reported that a source saw her by herself at the Upper West Side's Fairway Market on 74th Street when she was buying groceries for her children. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 16: (L-R) Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon via AFP) During the film's New York premiere, Pitt and his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, appeared to be inseparable. The "Fight Club" actor "loved having" her around, according to a source who spoke to People Magazine. The two looked stunning together on the event's red carpet. The insider claimed that the 32-year-old jewelry designer is "perfect for him" and that "she's no drama, very supportive, and they're doing really well." While de Ramon attracted attention in a white two-piece outfit including a long skirt with feathery details and a halter neckline that went sheer at the stomach, the 61-year-old actor wore a navy blue double-breasted suit over a white dress shirt to the event. The pair first appeared together on the red carpet at his Venice Film Festival premiere of "Wolfs" last September. They were first connected in November 2022. Actor Brad Pitt (Photo by Marco BERTORELLO / AFP) A source criticized reports that the "Troy" actor intends to "cut off" his sons, Pax and Maddox, following Pitt and Jolie's recent trip to New York. The "Maleficent" star was accused by the source of "leaking" information about the actor in an attempt to "damage him." "It's all nonsense, and that's to be expected. These 'leaked' articles attempt to harm Brad whenever he has a big project underway or makes headlines for something positive. It's crazy. We are all aware of the origins of these stories. When Brad succeeds, Angelina Jolie can't handle it," the insider claimed. According to a report in the Daily Mail, Pitt believed his relationship with Pax was "unfixable" and was prepared to sever his links with both Maddox and him. "He will never cut them off," a News Nation source retorted to the claim. Angelina was the one who blew their legacy. The purpose of Chateau Miraval was to leave a legacy for the children. Angelina made money by selling her portion. It is to be left for the kids, and Brad still retains his part. Every one of them. Pitt revealed in an Entertainment Tonight red carpet interview that he has matured to the point where he understands what matters in life since he has had to grow up learning from his previous "mistakes." "No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from it and you move on, and it'll lead to the next success," he stated. Pitt went on, "I think that when you reach my age, you realize how vital it is to surround yourself with friends, family, and the people you love and who will love you back. That's about it. We then have the opportunity to go and create stuff. Therefore, I believe the equation to be rather straightforward. Writer-director-producer-actress Angelina Jolie Pitt and actor-producer Brad Pitt (Photo by MARK RALSTON / AFP) Less than a year after an eight-year protracted fight since their 2016 split, Pitt's remarks about learning from past "mistakes" were made. The ex-couple has also been involved in a contentious court dispute regarding their vineyard, with Pitt accusing ِAngelina Jolie of attempting to undermine him after she sold her shares in Chateau Miraval to a Russian tycoon without telling him first. Pitt recently revealed, nevertheless, that he doesn't consider the completion of their divorce to be a significant turning point in his life. It wasn't that big of a deal, in my opinion. Just anything that's happening. According to the law," he told GQ Magazine.
