MrBeast uses stunts and tricks to entertain his audience.
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, was the highest-earning content creator on the internet in 2011.
His stunts have generated more than 10 billion views on the platform and earned him $54m.
Ryan Kaji has topped the annual list for the past two years.
The 10 best-paid YouTubers made a combined $300m in 2021, according to the US magazine.
Jake Paul is in second place, his first appearance in the top 10 in a year, and his brother is back after being away for a year.
Nathan Graham, known as Unspeakable, made the list for the first time.

Jake Paul's boxing fights have earned him a spot back on the list.
Chris said that this year's list shows how "stale" YouTube has become. He said that it strikes him how white and male the list is.
If you look at previous years' lists, you'll find them in a different order.
Traditional entertainment media had a hard time adjusting during the Pandemic. Video game releases were delayed and soap opera schedules were altered.
It was a good time for the video sharing site.
According to research, the platform had 2.3 billion users. One billion hours of video content is watched on the platform every day.

Ryan Kaji was ranked in the top seven.
"YouTube was developed as a way to shake up the media industry and get rid of the people who control it." It was going to make our society and entertainment industry more democratic.
It seems like it's become more like TV than it would prefer. The arrival of money on the platform means that content is very high stakes.
It's not like anything else on the internet. It's like a big-budget TV.
The high production values of YouTube are creating a barrier to entry, meaning you need to pay to play and be successful.

There is only one female in the top 10.
Those who have been able to successfully earn money through brand partnerships, sponsorship deals and merchandise sales are the ones identified by Forbes as the top earner.
English-speaking creators are most able to make money from their popularity, despite the fact that two-thirds of the content on YouTube is not in the English language.
Although it is dealing with issues of misinformation and harmful content, it doesn't seem to have affected its creators' ability to attract advertisers and sponsors to their channels.
He runs several channels on the website, but he grew his community largely by watching videos about the game.
He earned an estimated $16m in 2021, down from the year before, when he placed sixth.
The boxer was last in the top 10. He made $18m in 2021.
The funniest person on the list in 2020 was Dude Perfect. He made $20m last year.
The world's most famous toy reviewer dropped from the top of the tree to number seven.
His blend of toy reviews, educational videos and family vlogs helped him earn $27m in 2011.
The seven-year-old Russian has more than 90 million subscribers on the video sharing website.
She started as a toy unboxer but has grown in popularity and her earnings have risen to over 20 million dollars in 2021.
A new entrant in the game, the player has been uploading for a decade.
The rights to his back catalogue were sold to Spotter last year, which contributed to his earnings of over twenty million dollars.
The hosts of Good Mythical Morning earned $30m in the year of 2021.
Markiplier made $38m last year by making a successful brand of merchandise.
Jake Paul is back in the top 10 after branching out into boxing. His fights against UFC stars helped him earn over forty million dollars in 2011.
It's a new beginning for the creator who was lambasted for some of his vlogs in the past, which many found to be in poor taste.
With more boxing plans in the future, it would be no surprise to see him keep his place on the list.
A creator on the video sharing site is the top earner with his stunts and tricks.
He played hide and seek in an 80,000-seater stadium and recreated elements of Squid Game on his channel last year.
Jimmy Donaldson almost doubled his income in the year after he ranked second on this list, because of his 10 billion views.
