With an accumulated net worth of $54 million and more than 40 billion views combined on his videos, these homes don’t exactly scream luxury living.
Donaldson purchased his own home when it went up for sale — and what would be his first on the street — in 2018 for about $320,000, according to records obtained by The Post.
Occupying nearly 3,000 square feet, that two-story home is made up of four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The kitchen featured new granite countertops, a breakfast bar, a breakfast room and a pantry.
The second level holds three additional bedrooms, the laundry room and a bonus room.
Donaldson then slowly began to buy up the rest of the homes surrounding his for family and employees — paying more than usual for each.
The remaining homes were not up for sale and were purchased off-market. The following year, he purchased those three homes for a combined $1.45 million.
There remains just one hold out house, which Donaldson’s former neighbor attributed to the family likely wanting their kids to finish school.

Bowden told The Post his own reasons for selling his home, which he had lived in since 2016, were business-related.

Bowden explained how Donaldson informed him of his plans to move his employees and family into each of the homes.
And when Donaldson is not home or traveling, his rep told The Post, the internet star is living in his studio — where all the magic happens.
To date, Donaldson has over 150 million subscribers, and his main YouTube channel ranks the fourth most-subscribed on the platform.
