Youtuber MrBeast, whose real name is James Stephen "Jimmy" Donaldson, shared his views on how important it is to create your own identity when it comes to creating content and the importance of authenticity when it comes to this craft. He specifically highlighted the achievements of one of the biggest streamers today, Darren Jason Watkins Jr., better known as IShowSpeed.

In a Tweet, the philanthropist shared,

"It’s cool to see Speed getting so big off of his own style of content. Lots of YouTubers think the only way to succeed is to copy others. Next, MrBeast won’t do what I do, next speed won’t do what he does. Find what content is true to you!"

He pointed out that today, most YouTubers think success comes from following existing formats, types, and trends and copying other creators.

MrBeast and IShowSpeed's Net Worth

MrBeast is not only a creator and YouTuber, but he is also considered to have a great mind when it comes to money and business. According to Celebrity Net Worth, James is worth approximately $2.6 billion. He has multiple business ventures and investments that have contributed to this, including his snack brand Feastables, which is pulling in more than $200 million in annual sales with distribution in Walmart, Target, 7-Eleven, and other retailers.

And now, to continue building his empire, he is also launching his very own bank that will work through phones.

According to the application filed with the USPTO, from Newsweek,

"The trademark is for downloadable software in the nature of a mobile application for banking services, short-term cash advances, providing cryptocurrency exchange services, providing investment banking services and investment management services, providing consumer lending services and insurance services, providing financial advisory and consultancy services, providing financial planning services, and providing financial wellness education services."

Meanwhile, Speed stands at $30 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, as a creator who is still growing. The streamer has quite a lavish lifestyle and has expensive supercars, including a Cristiano Ronaldo-themed Lamborghini Huracan, a Tesla Cybertruck gifted by Logan Paul, and a Chinese EV Hypercar that he bought when he visited the cybercity of Chongqing earlier this year on his trip to China.

Though there is not much of a comparison between the two as of now, Speed is determined enough to keep building his empire.
