Who is BeardMeatsFood? What’s His Net Worth? How Does He Make His Money?

BeardMeatsFood Is the social media name of Adam Moran whose birth date is July 8, 1985. He is a personal trainer, competitive eater and is more prominently known as a YouTuber.

He is British by descent. He is currently ranked among the top twenty among the world’s top competitive eaters. He mostly participates in competitive eating challenges in England but has also competed in Scotland and Wales.

He has also competed internationally more prominently in North America. He is also a former banker and a sock garter model during his early twenties. He workouts two hours a day of which he claimed that it has improved significantly his weight to fat ratio.

In 2016 he was also given a position as food tester by an owner of an American-style diner chain in Yorkshire. The company took out a £1 million insurance on his stomach and his tastebuds.

He started posting YouTube videos on January 12, 2015. He has so far amassed 2,223,000 subscribers and his channel has amassed 597,611,824 views. He has 633 videos. This means that on average, he has 950,000 views per video.

We should however note that he started over 7 years ago and during the early years he was only getting at most 100,000 views per video. But nowadays, each of his videos have been averaging over a million views each.

Almost entirely the bulk of his videos are about eating a vast array of different food themes. He may for example eat a group of pizzas from one food chain or what a particular celebrity eats in any given day like an athlete a weightlifter and so on.

But his most popular videos are the restaurant eating challenges where he travels to restaurants both locally and overseas and beats the restaurant’s food challenge which usually has a time limit.

I think that one of his appeal is that for one, he is good looking (at least in my opinion) and he has established his brand early on. His long beard is his trademark as well as his usually long hair which most people don’t sport.

In essence, among a group of average or normal looking men, he stands out among the pack. He has also this aura of being laid back and playful which seems to blend with his carefree image.

A video about a man eating a lot of food can get pretty boring after a while, but somehow, he seems to be able to keep his viewers entertained with his witty banter.

And I think the presence of his partner in some of his videos has also added to his YouTube Channel’s appeal. He’s like your average chum who happens to be capable of eating all the food in your kitchen!

Now, for the most important question: “How much is his net worth?” If you Google this question online you would come at different answers. Some websites report that his net worth is worth a couple of millions of dollars while others report that it’s less than a million.

But this interview of him in the “What Is BeardMeatsFood's Net Worth?!” video podcast of the YouTube Channel Breaking Bread Podcast showed a glimmer of his financial situation.

In minute 43:15 of the video, the question was asked of him. After a few minutes of rambling he admitted that he “lives a comfortable life” but is not worth 2.1 quid (or US$ 2.4 million). We could note that he drives a Lexus in many of his videos which is not a cheap car.

But he’s definitely earning much more than your average personal trainer which he stopped doing after his YouTube video “eating” content creation career started making him more money.

This might be insignificant information to us but it highlights an important thing: YouTube “eating” content creators can actually make much more money that personal trainers who have to train and get certification to be personal trainers.

We already know that the bulk of his income is thru his YouTube Channel of which he has millions of subscribers. But if you look at the BeardMeatsFood Website, in the CONTACT/BOOKING ME section, you would readily see that he does more than just make videos.

He does eating performances, content creation and social media marketing. He even does event and TV appearances. It’s clear that he’s made his online brand into a money making venture.

He also has a store in his website where he sells his own line of t-shirts. I could even imagine that one day he’ll be selling more items like mugs and other food related items. He may actually even sell food one day which fits his online brand.

In case you’re already interested in creating “eating” YouTube videos and living a comfortable life while all you have to do to earn good money is to go all over the world and eat large portions of delicious food, think first who would be watching your videos.

There a lot of other eating video content creators who have built their own niche in the scene. There are those that specialize in street food, there are those that specialize in the authentic food of many cultures and then there is BeardMeatsFood.

He mainly specializes in western food (but on occasion he deviates from his norm) and targets the European (mainly UK) market and the North American market. I don’t know if this is his intention, but as far as I know, ads targeted for western people are usually very profitable.

As you might know, western food is also very popular globally. Just take a look at the foods he showcases on his channel: McDonalds, Krispy Creme, Taco Bell and so on. All of them are recognizable foods globally.

He’s eating food that a lot of people want to eat themselves and in large quantities if they can. Its like he’s eating for me the foods I want to gorge on but can’t for some reason or another. This is why I always feel happy after watching one of his videos.

BeardMeatsFood is proof that one can earn a comfortable income while basically just eating and making YouTube videos. He may even branch out to cooking which just shows how big a food and eating channel can get.
