What is Matt Stonie’s net worth?
Matt Stonie has a net worth of $10 million. It might seem like a contradiction, but competitive eater and student of nutrition Matt “Megatoad” Stonie is making the juxtaposition work.
Between learning about healthy eating, devouring a Happy Meal in 15 seconds, and harnessing the power of social media with his following of 15 million YouTube subscribers, where did Matt Stonie even come from?
Matthew “Megatoad” Kai Stonie was born in San Jose, California, on May 24, 1992.
The savvy social media star comes from a multicultural background, with Lithuanian, Czechoslovakian, and Japanese bloodlines.
He has a younger brother named Morgan, who often helps with video production on the ultra-successful Matt Stonie YouTube channel.
The California native attended Evergreen Valley High School in his hometown.
He went on to enroll at Mission College in Santa Clara—not venturing far from his roots—where he studied nutrition.
Despite his career as a competitive eater, Stonie’s goal is to become a dietitian.
A Recipe For Success
Stonie fell into the local competitive eating scene back in 2010, following in the footsteps of the famous Joey Chestnut—another San Jose local.
He was 17, entering a local lobster roll contest at the beach with the sole dream of winning the $1,000 prize money.
He did it.
More than just the cash, an eating competition opened the teen’s eyes up to a whole new career prospect.
By 2011, when he was just 19 years old, Matt went pro.
Since then, he’s conquered multiple world records—including Joey Chestnut’s 8-year golden run at Nathan’s Famous 4th of July Hot Dog Eating competition.
That win, in 2015, solidified what those on the competitive eating scene all knew—Stonie was a force (or a stomach) to be reckoned with.

Stonie’s fans recognize him for his speed from the starting bell, where he often pushes ahead of the competition to give himself a comfortable lead buffer.
The Megatoad views competitive eating much like any athlete sees their sport—he trains and fine-tunes his skills in much the same way.
