YouTube career

Early viral attempts (2012–2017)

Donaldson uploaded his first YouTube video in February 2012, at the age of 13, under the handle «MrBeast6000»; his early content ranged from Let’s Plays (mainly focused on Minecraft and Call of Duty: Black Ops II),^[2] videos estimating the wealth of other YouTubers,^[30] videos that offered tips to upcoming YouTube creators, and commentary on YouTube drama. Donaldson appeared only infrequently in these videos.^[2] In July 2013, the subscriber count of his channel, then named «That-dude», was around 240.^[31]

In 2015 and 2016, Donaldson began to gain popularity with his «Worst intros on YouTube» series poking fun at YouTube video introductions.^[32] By mid-2016, Donaldson had around 30,000 subscribers. In fall 2016, Donaldson dropped out of East Carolina University to pursue a full-time career as a YouTuber.^[10][30] His mother did not approve of this and made him move out of the family home.^[27]

As his channel grew, Donaldson hired four childhood friends – Chris Tyson, Chandler Hallow, Garrett Ronalds, and Jake Franklin – to contribute to his channel.^[27] They then contacted numerous YouTubers in order to obtain statistics of their successful videos and predicting the platform’s recommendation system.^{[33][clarification needed]} Franklin left the crew in 2020; afterwards, Karl Jacobs, previously a cameraman, was promoted to take his place.^[34][35][36]

Rise to fame (2017–2020)

In January 2017, Donaldson published an almost day-long video of himself counting to 100,000.^[37] The ordeal took him 40 hours, with some parts sped up to «keep it under 24 hours.»^[37] Donaldson also gained popularity during this period with stunts, such as attempting to break glass using a hundred megaphones, watching paint dry for an hour,^[28] attempting to stay underwater for 24 hours (which ended up failing due to health issues), and an unsuccessful attempt to spin a fidget spinner for a day.^[38] By 2018, Donaldson had given out $1 million through his outlandish stunts, which earned him the title of «YouTube’s biggest philanthropist.»^[27]

During the PewDiePie vs T-Series rivalry in 2018, a competition to become the most-subscribed channel on YouTube, Donaldson bought billboards and numerous television and radio advertisements to help PewDiePie gain more subscribers than T-Series.^[39][40] During Super Bowl LIII, he bought multiple seats for himself and his team, whose shirts spelled out «Sub 2 PewDiePie.»^[41][42]

In March 2019, Donaldson organized and filmed a real-life battle royale competition in Los Angeles with a prize of $200,000 (two games were played, making game earnings of $100,000 for each game) in collaboration with Apex Legends.^[43] The event and prize pool was sponsored by Apex Legends publisher Electronic Arts.^[44]

Donaldson was accused of using counterfeit money in his video titled «I Opened A FREE BANK», published on November 23, 2019.^[27] He later explained that he used fake money to avoid participant safety concerns and that participants received real checks after the shoot.^[27]

In April 2020, Donaldson created a rock, paper, scissors competition stream that featured 32 influencers and a grand prize of $250,000, which at the time became YouTube’s most-watched live Original event with 662,000 concurrent viewers.^[45] The event was ultimately won by Nadeshot.^[46] In October 2020, Donaldson hosted another influencer tournament featuring 24 competitors with a grand prize of $300,000. The tournament was ultimately won by the D’Amelio family, which caused controversy due to claims that they cheated.^[47]

Career (2021–present)

On January 1, 2021, Donaldson released the video «Youtube Rewind 2020, Thank God It’s Over».^[48] In Donaldson’s video, he explains that he had always believed that YouTubers «should get more say in Rewind,» and with this in mind, he decided to call «hundreds of YouTubers.»^[48] At the end of the video, Donaldson gives a shoutout to PewDiePie, citing him and his 2018 Rewind as the inspiration for Donaldson’s Rewind.^[48] A month later, Donaldson signed a Facebook and Snapchat content distribution deal with Jellysmack.^[49][50]

In November 2021, Donaldson uploaded a recreation of the survival drama streaming television series Squid Game in real life, in which 456 people competed for a $456,000 cash prize, without the violence in the show.^[51] The video has more than 325 million views as of December 24, 2022,^[52] making it Donaldson’s most-viewed YouTube video and also making it one of the most-watched YouTube videos of 2021.^[53] A review of the video in Vice stated that it «badly misunderstood the anti-capitalist message of Squid Game«.^[54]

In December 2021, Donaldson created a third influencer tournament featuring 15 competitors with a grand prize of $1,000,000.^[55][56][57] In January 2022, Forbes ranked MrBeast as YouTube’s highest-earning creator, earning an estimated $54 million in 2021. Forbes also stated that his income in 2021 would have placed him 40th in the 2020 Forbes Celebrity 100, earning as much money as Vin Diesel and Lewis Hamilton did in 2020.^[58][59]

On July 28, 2022, Donaldson surpassed 100 million subscribers on his main channel, making him the fifth channel and the second individual YouTuber to achieve the milestone.^[60][61] On November 17, 2022, Donaldson achieved the Guinness World Record of «Most Subscribers for an Individual Male on YouTube» with his MrBeast channel at 112,193,139 subscribers.^[62]

In February 2023, he appeared in a viral commercial^[64] for the NFL which aired during Super Bowl LVII.^[65]

Business model

Donaldson’s videos are known to contain certain elements in order to go viral. By doing so, he gains advertising sales of «tens of millions of dollars», as social media’s recommendation systems show his videos to more people. Accordingly, per The Detroit News, his videos have elements of internet challenges, guest appearances, and reaction videos – three popular video genres online.^[66] On YouTube, his videos make use of catchy clickbait titles such as «I Adopted EVERY Dog in a Dog Shelter»,^[A] explain the challenges in under half a minute, and keep their length between ten and twenty minutes.^[33]

According to Donaldson, large monetary prizes are also an important factor in viewer engagement.^[33] Therefore, his videos often involve him donating large amounts of money to individuals, with many of these videos being sponsored by various companies through large-scale brand deals that appear as advertisements within his videos.^{[67][68][69][27]} He also sometimes hosts competitions in video games, such as Minecraft, for large prizes, including donating a house in one of his gaming videos.^[28][70] MrBeast has been credited with launching a new style of high-cost stunt videos on YouTube, where creators pull off elaborate challenges and large-scale sponsored giveaways.^[27] Donaldson claimed in January 2021 that he runs his main channel at a loss.^[71]

Psychologist Tim Kasser claimed that a MrBeast video promoting a product would be about half as expensive as running a television ad, with higher engagement and reception.^[72]

Other ventures

Finger on the App

In June 2020, Donaldson, in collaboration with Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF, released a one-time multiplayer mobile game titled «Finger on the App». In the game, players touch their phone screen and the last person to remove their finger from the screen wins $25,000.^[73] In the end, four people ended up winning $20,000 each after keeping their finger on the app for over 70 hours.^[74] The game was reportedly so successful that a sequel titled «Finger on the App 2» was planned to originally launch in December 2020. However, the game was postponed to February and then further delayed to March 2021 due to a flood of downloads, causing the game to crash and requiring the game’s developers to upgrade their servers. This time, the game featured a grand prize of $100,000.^[75] The winner kept their finger on the phone screen for around 51 hours; the second-place finisher also received a prize of $20,000.^[76]

MrBeast Burger

Will Hyde, a producer for the MrBeast channel, announced in a November 2020 article with The Wake Weekly that Donaldson would launch a virtual restaurant called MrBeast Burger in December 2020. Hyde said his team worked with Virtual Dining Concepts during the development of the restaurant concept. He said that MrBeast Burger will sell franchise rights to serve the burgers to restaurants across the US and customers will be able to order the burgers via online delivery services.^[77] Then in August 2022, Donaldson announced that he would bring a MrBeast Burger shop to the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey, near New York City, to be the location of his first U.S. restaurant. The restaurant opened on September 4, 2022.^[78]

Feastables

In January 2022, Donaldson announced the creation of a new food company called Feastables, which launched with its own brand of chocolate bars called «MrBeast Bars.» At launch they offered 3 flavors of bars, original, almond and quinoa crunch. The launch corresponded with a sweepstakes with over $1 million in prizes, including 10 grand prize winners who would receive a chance to compete for a chocolate factory in a future video.^[79] The video was released in June 2022, which featured Gordon Ramsay as a cake judge and a $500,000 cash prize.^[80][81] The video contained a series of elimination challenges where the winner won the chocolate factory. The video contained cameos from competitive eaters Matt Stonie & Joey Chestnut.^[82] On February 2, 2022, Feastables announced partnerships with Turtle Beach Corporation and Roccat to provide prizes for the sweepstakes.^[83][84] Feastables reportedly made $10 million in its first few months of operation.^[85]

Investments and partnerships

In March 2021, Donaldson partnered with Creative Juice financial network to introduce Juice Funds, a $2 million investment fund for content creators.^[88][89]

In April 2021, Donaldson became a long-term investor and partner of financial technology company Current.^[90][91] The same month, Donaldson received backlash after fans lost large amounts of money in a cryptocurrency scheme that Donaldson had invested in and promoted.^[89]

Philanthropy

Team Trees

On October 25, 2019, Donaldson and former NASA engineer and YouTuber Mark Rober announced a collaborative fundraising challenge event on YouTube called #TeamTrees. The goal of this project was to raise $20 million for the Arbor Day Foundation by January 1, 2020, and plant trees «no later than December 2022.» Every donation goes to the Arbor Day Foundation, which pledges to plant one tree for every dollar donated. Notable YouTubers such as Rhett & Link, Marshmello, iJustine, Marques Brownlee, The Slow Mo Guys, Ninja, Simone Giertz, Jacksepticeye, and Smarter Every Day brought attention to the project, and trees began to be planted in October 2019 in US national parks.^[92][93] On December 19 of that year, the $20,000,000 goal was surpassed.^[94] The project has received large donations from corporate executives Jack Dorsey, Susan Wojcicki, Elon Musk,^[95] and Tobias Lütke.^[96], as well as from companies such as Discovery, Verizon and Plants vs. Zombies.^[97] Tobias Lütke, founder and CEO of Shopify, holds the record for the highest donation at 1,000,001 trees planted.^[98] As of February 11, 2023, the original goal of 20 million trees has been far surpassed, with over 24.3 million trees in the ground.^[99]

Beast Philanthropy

On September 17, 2020, the YouTube channel Beast Philanthropy was created.^[100] On the channel’s first video, Donaldson announced the charity and food bank and named Darren, who had appeared in previous videos, as executive director.^[101] According to the channel description, 100% of its advertising revenue, brand deals, and merchandise sales are donated to charity.^[100]

Team Seas

On October 29, 2021, Donaldson and Rober organized another collaborative challenge event on YouTube titled #TeamSeas. The goal of this project was to raise $30 million for the Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup by January 1, 2022. The $30 million goal would fund the removal of 30 million pounds of plastic and other waste from oceans, rivers, and beaches. Donaldson and Rober enlisted thousands of content creators, including AzzyLand, DanTDM, TommyInnit, LinusTechTips, TierZoo, LEMMiNO, The Infographics Show, Hannah Stocking, Dhar Mann and Marques Brownlee, and partnered with BEN and TubeBuddy’s initiative of 8 million global creators, to promote the fundraiser.^{[102][103][104]}

Cataract surgery

In January 2023, Donaldson paid for cataract surgery for a thousand people who had severely limited vision and had been unable to afford the procedure.^[105] Responses to his video on the subject ranged from praise to criticism that he was motivated solely by profit.^[106] Other comments criticized the American medical system for failing to provide the necessary healthcare to the patients in the video, questioning why patients had to rely on a YouTuber for the procedure.^[107]

Public image

Opinion polls have shown that Donaldson is one of the most well-liked YouTubers on the platform. A 2021 SurveyMonkey poll showed that 70% of respondents have a favorable view of him, compared to 12% who had an unfavorable view.^[108]

During a Clubhouse room in February 2021, Donaldson booted entrepreneur Farokh Sarmad after he said he could not pronounce his name, a move that Sarmad later said was racist. Sarmad’s claims were questioned and denied by other Clubhouse users who were present at the call who argued against Sarmad’s claims, claiming that MrBeast removed him along with others to make room for women on the stage to be more inclusive.^[109][110]

In a May 2021 New York Times article, Matt Turner, an editor for Donaldson from February 2018 to September 2019, claimed that Donaldson berated him almost daily, including calling him a retard. Turner also reported that he was regularly not credited for his work.^[89] Reporting by Insider showed that Turner previously posted a video in 2018 explaining his allegations, and in October 2019 released a deleted Twitter thread which stated that he was «yelled at, bullied, called mentally retarded and replaceable by MrBeast every single day.»^[111]

Nate Anderson quit after working for Donaldson for a week in 2018 over what he said were unreasonable demands and called Donaldson a perfectionist. After releasing a video describing his experience, Anderson reportedly received death threats from MrBeast’s fans. Nine other employees who worked for Donaldson also stated that while Donaldson was sometimes generous, his demeanour would change when cameras were off. They described a difficult work environment while working under him.^[89][111]

According to Donaldson, large monetary prizes are also an important factor in viewer engagement.^[33] Therefore, his videos often involve him donating large amounts of money to individuals, with many of these videos being sponsored by various companies through large-scale brand deals that appear as advertisements within his videos.^{[67][68][69][27]} He also sometimes hosts competitions in video games, such as Minecraft, for large prizes, including donating a house in one of his gaming videos.^[28][70] MrBeast has been credited with launching a new style of high-cost stunt videos on YouTube, where creators pull off elaborate challenges and large-scale sponsored giveaways.^[27] Donaldson claimed in January 2021 that he runs his main channel at a loss.^[71]

Psychologist Tim Kasser claimed that a MrBeast video promoting a product would be about half as expensive as running a television ad, with higher engagement and reception.^[72]

Other ventures

Finger on the App

In June 2020, Donaldson, in collaboration with Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF, released a one-time multiplayer mobile game titled «Finger on the App». In the game, players touch their phone screen and the last person to remove their finger from the screen wins $25,000.^[73] In the end, four people ended up winning $20,000 each after keeping their finger on the app for over 70 hours.^[74] The game was reportedly so successful that a sequel titled «Finger on the App 2» was planned to originally launch in December 2020. However, the game was postponed to February and then further delayed to March 2021 due to a flood of downloads, causing the game to crash and requiring the game’s developers to upgrade their servers. This time, the game featured a grand prize of $100,000.^[75] The winner kept their finger on the phone screen for around 51 hours; the second-place finisher also received a prize of $20,000.^[76]

MrBeast Burger

Hyde said his team worked with Virtual Dining Concepts during the development of the restaurant concept. He said that MrBeast Burger will sell franchise rights to serve the burgers to restaurants across the US and customers will be able to order the burgers via online delivery services.^[77] Then in August 2022, Donaldson announced that he would bring a MrBeast Burger shop to the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey, near New York City, to be the location of his first U.S. restaurant. The restaurant opened on September 4, 2022.^[78]

Feastables

In January 2022, Donaldson announced the creation of a new food company called Feastables, which launched with its own brand of chocolate bars called «MrBeast Bars.» At launch they offered 3 flavors of bars, original, almond and quinoa crunch. The launch corresponded with a sweepstakes with over $1 million in prizes, including 10 grand prize winners who would receive a chance to compete for a chocolate factory in a future video.^[79] The video was released in June 2022, which featured Gordon Ramsay as a cake judge and a $500,000 cash prize.^[80][81] The video contained a series of elimination challenges where the winner won the chocolate factory. The video contained cameos from competitive eaters Matt Stonie & Joey Chestnut.^[82] On February 2, 2022, Feastables announced partnerships with Turtle Beach Corporation and Roccat to provide prizes for the sweepstakes.^[83][84] Feastables reportedly made $10 million in its first few months of operation.^[85]

Investments and partnerships

In April 2021, Donaldson became a long-term investor and partner of financial technology company Current.^[90][91] The same month, Donaldson received backlash after fans lost large amounts of money in a cryptocurrency scheme that Donaldson had invested in and promoted.^[89]

Philanthropy

Team Trees

On October 25, 2019, Donaldson and former NASA engineer and YouTuber Mark Rober announced a collaborative fundraising challenge event on YouTube called #TeamTrees. The goal of this project was to raise $20 million for the Arbor Day Foundation by January 1, 2020, and plant trees «no later than December 2022.» Every donation goes to the Arbor Day Foundation, which pledges to plant one tree for every dollar donated. Notable YouTubers such as Rhett & Link, Marshmello, iJustine, Marques Brownlee, The Slow Mo Guys, Ninja, Simone Giertz, Jacksepticeye, and Smarter Every Day brought attention to the project, and trees began to be planted in October 2019 in US national parks.^[92][93] On December 19 of that year, the $20,000,000 goal was surpassed.^[94] The project has received large donations from corporate executives Jack Dorsey, Susan Wojcicki, Elon Musk,^[95] and Tobias Lütke.^[96], as well as from companies such as Discovery, Verizon and Plants vs. Zombies.^[97] Tobias Lütke, founder and CEO of Shopify, holds the record for the highest donation at 1,000,001 trees planted.^[98] As of February 11, 2023, the original goal of 20 million trees has been far surpassed, with over 24.3 million trees in the ground.^[99]

Beast Philanthropy

On September 17, 2020, the YouTube channel Beast Philanthropy was created.^[100] On the channel’s first video, Donaldson announced the charity and food bank and named Darren, who had appeared in previous videos, as executive director.^[101] According to the channel description, 100% of its advertising revenue, brand deals, and merchandise sales are donated to charity.^[100]

Team Seas

On October 29, 2021, Donaldson and Rober organized another collaborative challenge event on YouTube titled #TeamSeas. The goal of this project was to raise $30 million for the Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup by January 1, 2022. The $30 million goal would fund the removal of 30 million pounds of plastic and other waste from oceans, rivers, and beaches. Donaldson and Rober enlisted thousands of content creators, including AzzyLand, DanTDM, TommyInnit, LinusTechTips, TierZoo, LEMMiNO, The Infographics Show, Hannah Stocking, Dhar Mann and Marques Brownlee, and partnered with BEN and TubeBuddy’s initiative of 8 million global creators, to promote the fundraiser.^{[102][103][104]}

Cataract surgery

In January 2023, Donaldson paid for cataract surgery for a thousand people who had severely limited vision and had been unable to afford the procedure.^[105] Responses to his video on the subject ranged from praise to criticism that he was motivated solely by profit.^[106] Other comments criticized the American medical system for failing to provide the necessary healthcare to the patients in the video, questioning why patients had to rely on a YouTuber for the procedure.^[107]

Public image

Opinion polls have shown that Donaldson is one of the most well-liked YouTubers on the platform. A 2021 SurveyMonkey poll showed that 70% of respondents have a favorable view of him, compared to 12% who had an unfavorable view.^[108]

During a Clubhouse room in February 2021, Donaldson booted entrepreneur Farokh Sarmad after he said he could not pronounce his name, a move that Sarmad later said was racist. Sarmad’s claims were questioned and denied by other Clubhouse users who were present at the call who argued against Sarmad’s claims, claiming that MrBeast removed him along with others to make room for women on the stage to be more inclusive.^[109][110]

In a May 2021 New York Times article, Matt Turner, an editor for Donaldson from February 2018 to September 2019, claimed that Donaldson berated him almost daily, including calling him a retard. Turner also reported that he was regularly not credited for his work.^[89] Reporting by Insider showed that Turner previously posted a video in 2018 explaining his allegations, and in October 2019 released a deleted Twitter thread which stated that he was «yelled at, bullied, called mentally retarded and replaceable by MrBeast every single day.»^[111]

Nate Anderson quit after working for Donaldson for a week in 2018 over what he said were unreasonable demands and called Donaldson a perfectionist. After releasing a video describing his experience, Anderson reportedly received death threats from MrBeast’s fans. Nine other employees who worked for Donaldson also stated that while Donaldson was sometimes generous, his demeanour would change when cameras were off. They described a difficult work environment while working under him.^[89][111]

― Jimmy

Jimmy Donaldson (born: May 7, 1998 [age 24]), in Wichita, Kansas, commonly known on the internet by his YouTube channel name, MrBeast (formerly MrBeast6000), is an American YouTuber currently residing in Greenville, North Carolina. He is known for doing a wide variety of expensive challenge videos that reward thousands of dollars, donation videos involving a lot of money, videos either with arduous tasks or survival, original vlogging videos, and more.

He started the channel in 2012 at the age of 13. He was initially known for uploading the «Worst Intros» series, a series of videos where he reviewed small pre-teen YouTubers with funny or «bad» intros. Over the years, as he gained more sponsor money, he became a lot more generous and helpful to others.

With unrelenting passion and devotion to finishing arduous, yet creative, challenges, Jimmy has become an extremely popular YouTuber in recent years, and one of the most subscribed non-corporate YouTube channels, having reached the 60 million subscribers milestone in April 2021 and 100 million subscribers in July 2021. His main channel is the 7th most subscribed channel in the world and the 2nd most subscribed channel in the United States.^[1][2] With the exclusion of children-oriented channels, corporate channels, and channels of music artists, MrBeast is the second most subscribed YouTuber, only behind PewDiePie.

Personality

Jimmy is particularly generous and kind, as shown by his donations and giveaways. He’s also humble, as he doesn’t flaunt his money; He funds lots of money towards good causes and hasn’t shown buying expensive things for himself. He has a very polite personality, except with his friends, where he is more laid back and energetic.

Early life

Not much is known about Jimmy’s childhood, except that he has two brothers and a sister and it appears that Jimmy doesn’t have any contact with his biological father. Before he started MrBeast6000, he had a now-deleted channel called Beast5ty. He started his new YouTube channel at the age of thirteen, under the name «MrBeast6000.»

YouTube Career

Jimmy officially started his YouTube channel on February 19, 2012. He first started uploading gaming videos, and the first video game that he recorded was Minecraft. After a year, Jimmy started recording other games such as Pokemon Online, Black Ops 2, and Battle Pirates. He also started his first series where he talks about how much each YouTuber earns, the first being PewDiePie.

After two years, Jimmy stopped making gaming videos and started to make discussion videos, where he would discuss many random topics that he wanted to. On April 18, 2015, Jimmy officially had 2,000 people subscribed to his channel, which led to him deciding to make a video about it, being grateful for the success.

In 2016, he used to make a series called «Worst Intros» which involved him laughing at lower-quality intros, but these videos are now deleted because he shifted his content to challenges in 2016-2017, then stunts that allow him to grow in popularity, mainly because of both his generosity and original type of content.

As the years go by, the videos started involving bigger challenges and bigger prizes. At one point, with the increase of content and channels made by MrBeast (gaming videos in 2020, reaction videos in 2021, philanthropy videos also in 2021), MrBeast went from an independent YouTuber with a few friends to a whole production company, registered as MrBeast LLC, featuring around 50 employees who were shown on camera and presumably around 50 more off-camera, all of them getting highly paid to work on MrBeast’s videos for a living and with Jimmy being the CEO of the company. Other than cameramen and editors, they also have ADR tech, logistic techs, producers, two accountants, a lawyer, admin staff, a personal bodyguard, a business manager, a talent manager, medical professionals for challenges, and construction workers that build his sets.

Jimmy uploaded the second $200,000 Youtuber Battle Royale video on this channel.

Income & Spending

Currently, he has an estimated net worth of around 25+ million dollars (currently; the number may vary). In many of his videos, he budgets hundreds and thousands of dollars, but of course, it depends on the video, like if he is buying something expensive, donating a lot of money to people, or hosting a challenge with his friends; it all requires a large amount of money. According to a Colin and Samir interview, he and his team have spent a total of $50 million a year investing in his videos and this number tends to increase as MrBeast receives more popularity. Moreover, a MrBeast staff member confirmed that in the more recent videos of the main channel, they spend around $350,000 to a million dollars per video.^[4] He has several sources of income: he generates money from the advertisements that can be found on his YouTube videos on his main and gaming channels, he also gains money from sponsors (Quidd, Honey, etc.) as well as merchandise for ShopMrBeast, he is gaining a bit of extra income from MrBeast Burger.

Involvement in PewDiePie vs T-Series

Advertising PewDiePie

On October 24, 2018, Jimmy made a video called, I Bought Every Billboard in my City to do this. In the video, Jimmy used multiple billboards around his city to advertise PewDiePie and to prevent a music company, T-Series, from surpassing PewDiePie in subscribers. Additionally, Jimmy created online ads to advertise PewDiePie that, when clicked, redirect to PewDiePie’s channel.

Jimmy also advertised PewDiePie on public posts, in newspapers, and on the radio, the PewDiePie advertisements have garnered significant attention locally and globally, causing PewDiePie’s channel to grow at a faster rate than T-Series. T-Series was approximately less than 100,000 subscribers away from becoming the most subscribed channel up until the release of Jimmy’s video, which temporarily halted the channel’s growth. Likewise, Jimmy’s channel had also gained exponential growth off of the video and the advertisement, which he had mentioned himself on multiple occasions.

Saying PewDiePie 100,000 Times

Even after Jimmy advertised PewDiePie with billboards, it did not stop T-Series from slowing down from PewDiePie longer. T-Series was approximately 90,000 subscribers away from surpassing PewDiePie before Jimmy made another video to keep PewDiePie #1 most subscribed. On November 25, 2018, Jimmy says PewDiePie 100,000 times. At the start of the video, Jimmy tells his fans and newcomers to subscribe to PewDiePie and help him win the war. The subscriber growth was given to PewDiePie once again, gaining 244,000 subscribers the day of Jimmy’s upload, and 247,000 subscribers the next day. Jimmy also gained major exposure from the video and gained 181,000 subscribers on the day of its upload, which is Jimmy’s fastest growth in terms of subscribers in the past 24 hours. Jimmy also gained 151,000 subscribers the next day.

Surrender

Even after Jimmy helped out PewDiePie, PewDiePie made a tweet, It looks like this is it boys. with a picture of a text saying Dawn of The Final Day 24 Hours Remain, in which PewDiePie now surrenders his #1 most subscribed title, as T-Series growth had not stopped. Jimmy also made a tweet responding to PewDiePie saying It was an honor fighting by your side, wich Jimmy gives up and can no longer help PewDiePie further, possibly to prevent lack of PewDiePie videos from Jimmy, as it can get weaker along the way.^[5]

Advertising PewDiePie at the Super Bowl

On February 3, Jimmy and his affiliates made plans to try and advertise fellow YouTuber PewDiePie’s channel while attending Super Bowl LIII (53). To do so, Jimmy bought seats next to one of the end zones, with him and his affiliates wearing shirts ultimately spelling out «SUB 2 PEWDIEPIE» to be seen during one of the field goals. The attempt was broadcasted on live television, with approximately 110 million viewers watching the game. ESPN later tweeted a picture of one of the field goals, subsequently featuring Jimmy’s ad.^[6] Afterward, PewDiePie’s growth grew from 50,000 subscribers to 277,000 subscribers in a single day.

TeamTrees – Planting 20 Million Trees

Main article: Team Trees

Team Trees, also known as #teamtrees, is a collaborative fundraiser that managed to raise 20 million U.S. dollars before 2020 to plant 20 million trees.

Hyde said his team worked with the company «Virtual Dining Concepts» during the development of the virtual restaurant concept.

MrBeast’s 2020 YouTube Rewind

Main article: Youtube Rewind 2020, Thank God It’s Over on the MrBeast Wiki

«I will give you $10,000!»
― Jimmy

Jimmy Donaldson (born: May 7, 1998 [age 24]), in Wichita, Kansas, commonly known on the internet by his YouTube channel name, MrBeast (formerly MrBeast6000), is an American YouTuber currently residing in Greenville, North Carolina. He is known for doing a wide variety of expensive challenge videos that reward thousands of dollars, donation videos involving a lot of money, videos either with arduous tasks or survival, original vlogging videos, and more.

He started the channel in 2012 at the age of 13. He was initially known for uploading the «Worst Intros» series, a series of videos where he reviewed small pre-teen YouTubers with funny or «bad» intros. Over the years, as he gained more sponsor money, he became a lot more generous and helpful to others.

With unrelenting passion and devotion to finishing arduous, yet creative, challenges, Jimmy has become an extremely popular YouTuber in recent years, and one of the most subscribed non-corporate YouTube channels, having reached the 60 million subscribers milestone in April 2021 and 100 million subscribers in July 2021. His main channel is the 7th most subscribed channel in the world and the 2nd most subscribed channel in the United States.^[1][2] With the exclusion of children-oriented channels, corporate channels, and channels of music artists, MrBeast is the second most subscribed YouTuber, only behind PewDiePie.

Personality

Jimmy is particularly generous and kind, as shown by his donations and giveaways. He’s also humble, as he doesn’t flaunt his money; He funds lots of money towards good causes and hasn’t shown buying expensive things for himself. He has a very polite personality, except with his friends, where he is more laid back and energetic.

Early life

Not much is known about Jimmy’s childhood, except that he has two brothers and a sister and it appears that Jimmy doesn’t have any contact with his biological father. Before he started MrBeast6000, he had a now-deleted channel called Beast5ty. He started his new YouTube channel at the age of thirteen, under the name «MrBeast6000.»

YouTube Career

Jimmy officially started his YouTube channel on February 19, 2012. He first started uploading gaming videos, and the first video game that he recorded was Minecraft. After a year, Jimmy started recording other games such as Pokemon Online, Black Ops 2, and Battle Pirates. He also started his first series where he talks about how much each YouTuber earns, the first being PewDiePie.

After two years, Jimmy stopped making gaming videos and started to make discussion videos, where he would discuss many random topics that he wanted to. On April 18, 2015, Jimmy officially had 2,000 people subscribed to his channel, which led to him deciding to make a video about it, being grateful for the success.

In 2016, he used to make a series called «Worst Intros» which involved him laughing at lower-quality intros, but these videos are now deleted because he shifted his content to challenges in 2016-2017, then stunts that allow him to grow in popularity, mainly because of both his generosity and original type of content.

As the years go by, the videos started involving bigger challenges and bigger prizes. At one point, with the increase of content and channels made by MrBeast (gaming videos in 2020, reaction videos in 2021, philanthropy videos also in 2021), MrBeast went from an independent YouTuber with a few friends to a whole production company, registered as MrBeast LLC, featuring around 50 employees who were shown on camera and presumably around 50 more off-camera, all of them getting highly paid to work on MrBeast’s videos for a living and with Jimmy being the CEO of the company. Other than cameramen and editors, they also have ADR tech, logistic techs, producers, two accountants, a lawyer, admin staff, a personal bodyguard, a business manager, a talent manager, medical professionals for challenges, and construction workers that build his sets.

Jimmy uploaded the second $200,000 Youtuber Battle Royale video on this channel.

Income & Spending

Currently, he has an estimated net worth of around 25+ million dollars (currently; the number may vary). In many of his videos, he budgets hundreds and thousands of dollars, but of course, it depends on the video, like if he is buying something expensive, donating a lot of money to people, or hosting a challenge with his friends; it all requires a large amount of money. According to a Colin and Samir interview, he and his team have spent a total of $50 million a year investing in his videos and this number tends to increase as MrBeast receives more popularity. Moreover, a MrBeast staff member confirmed that in the more recent videos of the main channel, they spend around $350,000 to a million dollars per video.^[4] He has several sources of income: he generates money from the advertisements that can be found on his YouTube videos on his main and gaming channels, he also gains money from sponsors (Quidd, Honey, etc.) as well as merchandise for ShopMrBeast, he is gaining a bit of extra income from MrBeast Burger.

Involvement in PewDiePie vs T-Series

Advertising PewDiePie

On October 24, 2018, Jimmy made a video called, I Bought Every Billboard in my City to do this. In the video, Jimmy used multiple billboards around his city to advertise PewDiePie and to prevent a music company, T-Series, from surpassing PewDiePie in subscribers. Additionally, Jimmy created online ads to advertise PewDiePie that, when clicked, redirect to PewDiePie’s channel.

Jimmy also advertised PewDiePie on public posts, in newspapers, and on the radio, the PewDiePie advertisements have garnered significant attention locally and globally, causing PewDiePie’s channel to grow at a faster rate than T-Series. T-Series was approximately less than 100,000 subscribers away from becoming the most subscribed channel up until the release of Jimmy’s video, which temporarily halted the channel’s growth. Likewise, Jimmy’s channel had also gained exponential growth off of the video and the advertisement, which he had mentioned himself on multiple occasions.

Saying PewDiePie 100,000 Times

Even after Jimmy advertised PewDiePie with billboards, it did not stop T-Series from slowing down from PewDiePie longer. T-Series was approximately 90,000 subscribers away from surpassing PewDiePie before Jimmy made another video to keep PewDiePie #1 most subscribed. On November 25, 2018, Jimmy says PewDiePie 100,000 times. At the start of the video, Jimmy tells his fans and newcomers to subscribe to PewDiePie and help him win the war. The subscriber growth was given to PewDiePie once again, gaining 244,000 subscribers the day of Jimmy’s upload, and 247,000 subscribers the next day. Jimmy also gained major exposure from the video and gained 181,000 subscribers on the day of its upload, which is Jimmy’s fastest growth in terms of subscribers in the past 24 hours. Jimmy also gained 151,000 subscribers the next day.

Surrender

Even after Jimmy helped out PewDiePie, PewDiePie made a tweet, It looks like this is it boys. with a picture of a text saying Dawn of The Final Day 24 Hours Remain, in which PewDiePie now surrenders his #1 most subscribed title, as T-Series growth had not stopped. Jimmy also made a tweet responding to PewDiePie saying It was an honor fighting by your side, wich Jimmy gives up and can no longer help PewDiePie further, possibly to prevent lack of PewDiePie videos from Jimmy, as it can get weaker along the way.^[5]

Advertising PewDiePie at the Super Bowl

On February 3, Jimmy and his affiliates made plans to try and advertise fellow YouTuber PewDiePie’s channel while attending Super Bowl LIII (53). To do so, Jimmy bought seats next to one of the end zones, with him and his affiliates wearing shirts ultimately spelling out «SUB 2 PEWDIEPIE» to be seen during one of the field goals. The attempt was broadcasted on live television, with approximately 110 million viewers watching the game. ESPN later tweeted a picture of one of the field goals, subsequently featuring Jimmy’s ad.^[6] Afterward, PewDiePie’s growth grew from 50,000 subscribers to 277,000 subscribers in a single day.

Projects

TeamTrees – Planting 20 Million Trees

Main article: Team Trees

Team Trees, also known as #teamtrees, is a collaborative fundraiser that managed to raise 20 million U.S. dollars before 2020 to plant 20 million trees. This initiative was founded by MrBeast and Mark Rober and it was supported by a large part of the YouTube community as a whole, including some YouTube personalities.

All donations go to the Arbor Day Foundation, a tree-planting organization that pledges to plant one tree for every U.S. dollar donated. The Arbor Day Foundation planned to begin planting in January 2020 and end «no later than December 2022».

It is estimated that 20 million trees would take up 180 square kilometers (69 square miles) of land, absorb around 1.6 million tons of carbon and remove 116 thousand tons of chemical air pollution from the atmosphere.

MrBeast Burger

Main article: MrBeast Burger

MrBeast Burger is an online delivery-only fast-food chain and restaurant brand created by Jimmy Donaldson. This restaurant temporarily opened physically in only one location, which is the key setting and location for the video «I Opened A Restaurant That Pays You To Eat At It».

In a November 2020 article with The Wake Weekly, Will Hyde, a producer of the MrBeast channel, announced that Jimmy would launch a virtual restaurant called «MrBeast Burger» in December 2020. Hyde said his team worked with the company «Virtual Dining Concepts» during the development of the virtual restaurant concept. MrBeast Burger then serves the burgers to restaurants across the United States and customers will be able to order the burgers via online delivery services.

On December 19, 2020, the MrBeast Burger application for Android and iOS devices was developed for ordering food from there only by delivery. For now, the MrBeast Burger deliveries are only available in 300 locations in the United States and not internationally, but there are plans to allow these deliveries to happen internationally in the future.

MrBeast’s 2020 YouTube Rewind

Main article: Youtube Rewind 2020, Thank God It’s Over on the MrBeast Wiki

On November 17, 2020, MrBeast announced that he was going to make his own YouTube Rewind due to YouTube canceling their annual Rewind that year. MrBeast also said that if other YouTubers wanted to come and help, they could reply to him on Twitter. After 1 month, MrBeast released his own YouTube Rewind on January 1, 2021, titled «Youtube Rewind 2020, Thank God It’s Over».

It featured many notable YouTubers giving their thoughts about what should be in MrBeast’s Rewind, and their thoughts about the worst events of 2020. In addition, there were tributes to some celebrities who passed away in 2020, such as Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Alex Trebek.

Джимми Дональдсон, более известный в интернете как MrBeast является известным ютубером и также близким другом Дрим Тим. Мистер Бист часто показывает Дрима в видео на своем игровом канале, MrBeast Gaming. На своем главном канале, MrBeast, он, как известно, раздает призы и деньги случайным людям и устраивает различные челленджи с ним, его друзьями или другими людьми, в которых победитель выигрывает крупную сумму денег или разнообразные призы.

Считалось, что Мистер Бист был занесен в вайтлист на Dream SMP 29 сентября 2020 года, чтобы скрыть подарочный сертификат Taco Bell, стоимостью в $10 000.^[1] Когда приз был обнаружен, Дрим рассказал, что на самом деле это он спрятал сертификат под видом Джимми, а тот сказал ему координаты, где спрятать. Позже было подтверждено, что его учетная запись Майнкрафт находится в вайтлисте на сервере, когда Бист вошел в сервер 27 декабря 2020 года, чтобы спрятать подарочную карту на сумму 100 000 долларов.
