Martha Stewart said YouTuber MrBeast seemed “entertaining and intriguing” after they spent three days together. In an AARP interview published Sept. 24, she said she had initially wondered who he was and why his YouTube channels drew billions of hits.
Stewart said MrBeast had “found a void that wasn't being filled, and he filled it,” while questioning whether influencers truly influence people or simply waste their time. She did not explain what brought them together for the three days.
Forbes named MrBeast the highest-paid YouTuber in June 2025, with earnings of about $85 million. He has also launched Feastables and the competition series Beast Games.
