How MrBeast Got All Of His Money
How MrBeast made his money is a question frequently leveled at the extravagantly generous YouTube personality. Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, is an internet sensation whose YouTube channel has racked up over 6 billion views since he started his channel in 2012 at the age of 13. To date, MrBeast has a mammoth 33 million subscribers, with his loyal following a critical factor in making him one of the richest YouTubers of all time while still in his 20s. However, when it comes to exactly how MrBeast got his money, many followers remain in the dark.
The giveaway-happy MrBeast first rose to worldwide prominence in 2018, after a video of the YouTube star donating $10,000 to a homeless man went viral. MrBeast has since become synonymous with the aggressive philanthropy he practices, with his generous giveaways and feel-good challenges handing out an eye-watering $1 million in the last two years alone. One of Donaldson's viral stunts of 2021 was a faithful recreation of the Netflix drama sensation Squid Game, in which 456 people compete in a series of Korean childhood games for a grand prize of $456,000.
