MrBeast stuns small streamer with $11k donation for his birthday YouTube: MrBeast / Twitch: VloopPlaysSmall streamer VloopPlays had the best reaction when YouTuber MrBeast stopped by his stream to donate $11,000, just because it was his birthday. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of YouTube’s most popular creators. With over 55 million followers on his main channel, he’s seen huge success on the site, his unique and often philanthropic content earning him tons of loyal supporters. But it’s not just his main channel where he gives back to friends and supporters. Since 2020, the star has also been running a second channel called MrBeast Gaming, where (as the name implies) he does plenty of gaming and Twitch-related content. Sometimes he rounds up his followers to participate in huge gaming challenges, but this time he chose to drop by different streams, and offer the creator a large sum of money for completing a random task. This time around he gave a kid $10,000 for guessing the right country in GeoGuesser, gave someone $500 for every bench press they could do, and more. But the most wholesome reaction came from a 45-year-old streamer from Brazil, VloopPlays, who has just under 350 followers on Twitch. Jimmy swung by his birthday stream and donated a whopping $10,000 along with the simple message: “I heard today is your birthday.” Vloop stared at the screen in disbelief, baffled by the randomly huge donation. “No, this is not happening, is it? Wait, what? Is this real? There’s too much happening right now!” he exclaimed. Topic starts at 7:06 The delighted streamer then went on to say that he was going to donate half of the money to charity, with MrBeast then donating an additional $1k to say: “glad you’re happy.” Vloop finished by saying: “man, you’re amazing, thank you. I’m gonna help my mom, Jesus, I can help my mom with stuff in here.” MrBeast, Karl, and Chris looked delighted by the streamer’s reaction to the unexpected gift, clearly pleased that they’d stumbled across that stream in particular. The other donation recipients were all shocked by MrBeast’s sudden appearance in their stream, and other small creators will now no doubt be keeping a close eye out for any appearances from the YouTuber in their chat.

MrBeast stuns waitresses after tipping with actual gold bars MrBeast, YouTubePopular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is known for giving away generous amounts of cash, as seen in his viral Twitch donation and “free store” videos – but now, he’s putting a different spin on his charitable side, by using actual gold bars. MrBeast uploaded a video to YouTube on June 21, where he tipped waitresses using a variety of expensive items, including such goodies as gaming consoles, HD TVs, laptops, and even legitimate gold bars. The YouTuber explained that each gold bar was worth up to $160,000 each – but he couldn’t give the full-sized bars away, on the outset. MrBeast is one of YouTube’s most popular content creators, boatsing over 20 million subscribers on the platform.600https://www.instagram.com/p/ByoD3NLBX2F/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Instead, MrBeast began his generous gratuity with miniature gold bars, which were worth up to $7,000 each. “I know it’s tiny, but gold is expensive,” MrBeast humorously explained, going on to leave one of the miniature bars as a tip on top of a napkin which read, “$7K in gold. MrBeast and crew hopped from restaurant to restaurant ordering nothing but water (and sometimes breadsticks), leaving behind a trail of expensive items in their wake, which made one waitress “kind of want to cry” after receiving $1,000 in cash. “I have tables to serve, I can’t cry,” another waitress claimed after collecting one of the $7k mini gold bars as her tip. “I don’t remember how to do my job.” That’s not all: MrBeast even asked a pizza delivery man to pull over on the road, giving him one of the miniature gold bars as thanks for his service – a tip that the driver claimed would help him buy a new car. Of course, the fun wasn’t finished, just yet. MrBeast went on to challenge his crew for even more cash, presenting them with an array of unsavory foods for a chance at winning the big bucks. MrBeast challenged his crew for some extra cash, which resulting in some less-than-savory reactions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmf6T_Ewt38 This wouldn’t be the first time MrBeast has gone out of his way to make someone’s day, by far. The YouTuber has a wide variety of such videos, and even hopes to open a homeless shelter or food bank in the future, although no concrete plans for the venture have yet been revealed.

MrBeast stuns fan with $30k prize after beating TommyInnit in Minecraft challenge YouTube: MrBeast GamingYouTuber MrBeast stunned a Minecraft player by giving them a $30,000 prize after they participated in the building of an incredible cartoon-themed ‘country’ in the game. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is well known for spending large amounts of money on his YouTube videos. More often than not, he’s giving these huge sums of money away to friends, fans, and even strangers – however, there’s usually a challenge involved when it comes to getting a prize from MrBeast. The popular YouTuber has managed to convince people to quit their job for $100,000, challenged a fan to read a humiliating speech for $10k, and countless more random challenges that come with huge rewards. That’s not just on his main channel. Jimmy also has ‘MrBeast Gaming’, which as the name suggests is reserved for specifically gaming-related challenges, with Minecraft being a big favorite. For this new video, Jimmy challenged teams of his fans to build a ‘country’ within an hour, with the promise of $30k for the nicest one. Even streamers ItsFundy and TommyInnit participated in the video, leading their own teams.

Inspired by popular cartoon shows, the country contained many pop culture references, including a statue of SpongeBob along with Sandy’s dome. They filled up the floor with builds, making it look the most complete out of the world. After picking the cartoon world as the winner, they picked a recipient of the money via a random game, making player Super_cuber the winner of the $30k. The huge prize had fans in awe, and had many wondering if next time they will have an opportunity to win a large sum of money from a MrBeast gaming challenge in the future.

MrBeast stuns fans with his massive viewership growth since starting YouTube – Dexerto
MrBeast stuns fans with his massive viewership growth since starting YouTube Instagram: MrBeastYouTube superstar Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has revealed his incredible viewership growth since he started on the platform when he was just 12-years-old. Things have exploded for MrBeast in recent times. With 94.9M subscribers on the platform, he has become one of the biggest names on the internet with his mind-blowing content. Although he’s now an instantly-recognizable name, MrBeast first set himself up on YouTube when he was 12-years-old and has been developing his content ever since. All the grind clearly paid off for him. The YouTuber shared that since starting his influencer career, his annual viewership has grown from 15k to over 13 billion. MrBeast reveals his annual YouTube viewership growth To celebrate his 24th birthday, MrBeast shared a Twitter post in which he showed how much his annual viewership has skyrocketed over the years. The timeline revealed that when he was 12, MrBeast was pulling in 15,000 views a year. However, by the time he reached 23, he received a whopping 13.2 billion annual views. Although the sharp contrast astounded his fans, it didn’t come as a complete surprise. After all, this was the year he produced his record-breaking Squid Game recreation, which has 248 million views as of writing. Here’s how many YT views I’ve gotten every year of my life. Another successful year 🥳 23 – 13,265,311,414 22 – 8,184,185,544 21 – 3,324,451,660 20 – 2,099,879,911 19 – 464,282,517 18 – 122,441,813 17 – 5,482,596 16 – 202,000 15 – 125,634 14 – 41,148 13 – 7,000 12 – 15,000— MrBeast (@MrBeast) May 7, 2022 The timeline also showed how MrBeast’s viewership has spiked from one year to the next. For example, when he was 17 he finally broke the million mark, going from 202k views to 5.4 million, thanks in part to his videos exploring the income of famous YouTubers such as his hero PewDiePie. He then went on to hit the milestone of reaching one billion views for the first time when he was 2o-years-old. No doubt, his video ‘Do Water Repellent Shoes Actually Work?’ helped boost his number as it has received 101 million views, as of writing. With MrBeast hitting the highest figures he’s ever had in his career, it’s mind-blowing how he could possibly go any bigger. Yet, with the YouTuber claiming that he is currently in the process of developing a real-life Willy Wonka-themed video, he could be on the way to obliterating records once again.

MrBeast spent $30,000 on lottery tickets, with a surprising result – Dexerto
MrBeast spent $30,000 on lottery tickets, with a surprising result Popular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson spent a whopping $30,000 on scratch-off lottery tickets in an effort to win a $10 million prize. Each ticket cost $30 each, meaning that Beast bought $1,000 lottery tickets in total. MrBeast acknowledged the ridiculous amount of money he spent for the video, and cited his budget for other, similarly expensive projects. “I know you guys are probably like, ‘Wow, you guys are super spoiled,’” he said. “My last video, I spent $25,000 and it wasn’t even sponsored.. $1,000 barely even covers a fraction of my videos.” He admitted that he was able to purchase the tickets through his sponsor, Honey, a browser add-on that scours the internet for coupon codes and applies them to users’ carts upon checkout at various websites. The tickets awarded MrBeast anywhere from $40 to $1,000, and he ended up cashing out at $20,380. This meant that the YouTuber lost over $9,500. The experiment took MrBeast and his crew several days (and ample manpower) to complete, with the help of a lottery application on his phone. This isn’t the first time MrBeast has spent ludicrous amounts of money for his videos, either. He likewise blew $10,000 on a 2,256 mile trip through Uber, and has donated similarly large sums to charities, the homeless, and even his favorite Twitch streamers. He also discouraged his viewers from gambling, citing the amount of money he would likely lose in the challenge. While MrBeast could afford his $9,000 loss thanks to his sponsors, we can’t say the same for the average Joe.

MrBeast’s Squid Game video ‘approved’ by creator behind hit Netflix show – Dexerto
MrBeast’s Squid Game video ‘approved’ by creator behind hit Netflix show YouTube: Still Watching Netflix, MrBeastThe mind behind hit Netflix show Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has given Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson his official seal of approval after the YouTuber recreated the viral thriller. On November 24, MrBeast finally unleashed his own rendition of Squid Game, the viral Korean thriller that took over the internet for weeks and became Netflix’s biggest show thus far. The show follows several characters saddled with debts and financial hardships, who unwittingly sign up for a series of life-or-death children’s games in order to take home a massive cash prize. It wasn’t long before the YouTube star teased the idea of making his own version of the Netflix show — and fans were ecstatic about the possibility. Recreating Squid Games is costing more then I thought it would but i’m in to deep to stop now lol pic.twitter.com/Z196lyz4Ig — MrBeast (@MrBeast) November 7, 2021 After weeks of releasing behind-the-scenes footage and sharing small snippets of information (including the project’s $3.5 million budget) MrBeast unleashed his Squid Game rendition, featuring an exact 456 contestants and sets that looked like they could have been ripped right out of the original show. The video was met with major acclaim, and has racked up over 110 million views mere days after being uploaded. Although the video did garner some controversy — with critics accusing the YouTuber of plagiarism — it looks like the show’s creator is a fan of MrBeast’s work. Squid Game director reacts to MrBeast video A little under a week after the video was published, Squid Game writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk was interviewed at the 2021 Gotham Awards and asked about his thoughts on MrBeast’s project. “I watched some of it,” the director said with a laugh. “I loved it! It helped me to promote the show, too, so please, I want more people to do it!” There we have it, straight from the creator’s mouth — it seems he’s a big fan of MrBeast’s version of his viral show, and would even love for more content creators to unleash their own takes in the future. Although MrBeast has yet to react to Hwang Dong-hyuk’s comments, he did make sure to credit the director at the end of his Squid Game video, saying: “We took huge inspiration from this show and I genuinely appreciate you.”

MrBeast sparks boxing match rumors after training with Logan Paul – Dexerto
MrBeast sparks boxing match rumors after training with Logan Paul X: MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast is sparking rumors of a potential boxing match after snapping a photo of himself training with Logan Paul. The influencer-boxing bug has become more widespread than ever before, with a slew of creators from all platforms looking to test their mettle in the ring. First kicked off by KSI, Joe Weller, and Logan Paul back in 2018, influencer-boxing has only continued to grow, with the latest high-profile match taking place between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz earlier this month. Next up are Logan Paul and KSI’s matches against Dillon Danis and Tommy Fury, respectively — and Logan is getting in some training with one of the biggest YouTubers imaginable in preparation for the highly-anticipated bout. MrBeast asks fans who he should box after training with Logan Paul On August 21, Paul posted a photo of himself after a training session with none other than YouTube’s most-subscribed independent creator, Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson. Fans couldn’t help but notice that MrBeast looked completely tuckered out in comparison to Paul, who showed off his muscles in a stoic pose. Of course, they also wondered if this means MrBeast is potentially taking on an as-yet unknown opponent in a possible boxing match — and it doesn’t help that the YouTuber also asked fans if he should box someone in an additional Instagram stories post. For now, it’s unclear if Jimmy is up for getting into the ring; but that’s not stopping fans from sharing their opinions on the subject, either way. This latest post from MrBeast follows the YouTuber’s recent updates about his health and fitness journey. In June, he shocked fans by posting his before and after photos, saying he’s gone from “obese to lean” in 10 months of “lifting religiously.”

MrBeast spends insane amount buying out five stores just to give it all away – Dexerto
MrBeast spends insane amount buying out five stores just to give it all away Instagram: mrbeastYou’ll be hard pushed to find a YouTuber that spends more money in the name of great content than Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson, but now he’s bought out five entire stores and racked up an insane bill — just to give everything away. After discussing how his main YouTube channel costs him a “ridiculous amount of money,” it’s clear to see why — especially when he spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on videos without a sponsor. In the past, we’ve seen Jimmy buy out entire stores and give away the contents to those who need it most, or to people fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. Now, he’s done it again, but this time he had to go even bigger and bought out the entire contents of five different stores just to give everything away — including an entire car lot. The first place that MrBeast and his friends tackled was a clothing store, which will likely go a long way for people in need during these colder winter months. After buying out everything there for $85,000, the crew also bought out an entire GameStop and a car lot, giving away all of the cars there, that day, to people who came in, completely free of charge. Finally, they filled eight U-Hauls with food from a grocery store, once again as a charitable donation, which cost them over $120,000 — and that’s including leaving things there so that the community can still go in and buy the groceries they need! Finally, Jimmy spoke about the food pantry he’s started running to give back to the community — something he’s going to post content for on his Beast Philanthropy channel — and it’s admirable seeing what he’s doing to give back to people who need it. Overall, Jimmy said he spent around $600-700,000 on the video, which all came out of his own pocket rather than that of a sponsor, and you won’t find many YouTubers that are doing things like that. The big question is, how does MrBeast go up from that? It seems to be a question we ask after each of his videos, but he’s constantly finding new ways to level up his content, so we can’t imagine what he has up his sleeve for the future.

MrBeast smashes YouTube record for third video in a row – Dexerto
MrBeast smashes YouTube record for third video in a row MrBeastMrBeast has smashed the record for the most views in 24 hours on a non-music YouTube video for his third video in a row. MrBeast has cemented himself as the king of YouTube. With over 176 million subscribers and amassing hundreds of millions of views per video, it’s fair to say he’s mastered the art of going viral. Time and time again, the YouTube star has broken records, such as the individual creator with the most total channel views or subscribers. MrBeast breaks YouTube record for third video in a row After releasing ‘7 Days Lost at Sea’ on August 5, the 25-year-old set a new record for the most views on a non-music video in 24 hours — a video that has since been removed by a copyright claim after an animator claimed he’d used their animation without permission. Just a week later, the YouTuber broke the record again by another three million views with his ‘$1 vs $250,000 Vacation’ video and has now topped the record once more. This time around, MrBeast has shattered the previous record by a staggering amount. His latest video, which he claims is his biggest ever, amassed 59.4 million views in its first 24 hours — beating his last upload by close to seven million views. “7 days later we broke it again,” he wrote on Twitter, adding the sobbing emoji. “Three-peat.” In the August 19 video titled ‘Every Country On Earth Fights For $250,000!’ the YouTuber gathered a contestant from every country in the world to participate in his own ‘Extreme Olympics.’ MrBeast has since claimed he could make the “biggest game show” for any streaming platform that would be willing to fund it following his viral video.

MrBeast sparks backlash for telling fans to ‘sabotage’ competitors for Feastables – Dexerto
MrBeast sparks backlash for telling fans to ‘sabotage’ competitors for Feastables YouTube: MrBeastMrBeast critics are furious with the YouTuber after he put out a call for his followers to help clean up displays and sabotage his competitors as he looks to take over the chocolate bar market with Feastables. In early 2022, YouTuber and philanthropist Jimmy ‘MrBeast‘ Donaldson unveiled a brand new project — his very own line of chocolate bars ‘Feastables’. Since its launch, it’s even made its way into almost every Walmart store across the U.S. Feasatables was also set to have its own Super Bowl commercial announcing its latest flavor ‘Deez Nuts’ — although the YouTuber backed down, not wanting to spend millions of dollars to run the ad. More recently, MrBeast asked fans to help to clean up displays in their local Walmart, and also move competitors out of the way while they’re at it. However, this has sparked backlash over the YouTuber’s call to action. MrBeast Feastables ploy sparks outrage After asking for help from his followers, some have of course taken part, causing others to hit out at the YouTube star, with some arguing he’s taking advantage of his fans. After he said, “while you’re at it if you want to maybe move some Hershey’s bars and make sure Feastables has plenty of space… I wouldn’t complain,” there were mixed responses. “Mr. Beast just unlocked a new form of capitalism, I hate it here,” said one viral tweet. “It’s fascinating to watch the stage of capitalism where people are honored to do free labor for rich people that don’t care about them because they feel some kind of connection and loyalty like a dog wanting a treat, only the treat is an imagined feeling of connection,” another user wrote in reply to MrBeast’s post. “I’m totally going to mess with this guy’s stuff if I see it on the shelves,” another replied. Despite the backlash from some, waves of fans have already begun helping out the YouTuber, with many sharing before and after pictures of the displays in their local store.

MrBeast is, without a doubt, one of the most popular content creators in the world. His main channel has 66 million subscribers alone, which is the eleventh-highest on the platform. However, his empire has grown far beyond one channel. In addition to his main one, MrBeast also runs MrBeast Gaming, Beast Reacts, MrBeast Shorts, Beast Philanthropy, and MrBeast 2. And he just hit a massive milestone across the board. Beast Reacts just hit 10 million subscribers, which is impressive if it was someone’s main channel, let alone their third. It’s only one-sixth of the subscribers he has on his main channel and about half of the 20 million he has on MrBeast Gaming. However, it’s still a significant milestone, and the third time he’s received a Diamond Play Button.

MrBeast smashes Team Seas goal as donation drive breaks $30 million – Dexerto
MrBeast smashes Team Seas goal as donation drive breaks $30 million Team SeasJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has announced Team Seas has smashed its goal of removing 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean by raising $30 million thanks to donations from fans, content creators, and even billionaires. In October 2021, MrBeast launched Team Seas in an effort to clean up 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean. He also planned to topple Team Trees, a previous endeavor that helped plant 20 million trees. Less than a week after Team Seas kicked off, he revealed that they’d already removed six million pounds of trash from the ocean. Three months on, MrBeast achieved the ultimate goal of removing 30 million pounds. You did it, #TeamSeas! THIRTY. MILLION. POUNDS. pic.twitter.com/S83bV4YxWb — #TeamSeas (@teamseas) January 2, 2022 MrBeast was thrilled with the enormous effort. “We did it!” he said. “Austin Russell noticed we came up a few million pounds short, so he got us over 30 million.” Austin Russell is the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at 26-years-old. He founded Luminar Technologies, a company that develops vision-based lidar and machine perception technologies for self-driving cars. It wasn’t all about his massive donation, though. MrBeast also thanked the 600,000-plus other people who donated to TeamSeas, including content creators. “We literally raised enough money to remove 30,000,000 pounds of trash from the ocean. That’s freakin’ insane,” he added in a subsequent tweet. “It just hit me how crazy that number is.” We did it! Austin Russell noticed we came up a few million pounds short so he got us over 30 million 😂 Shout out to the over 600,000 different people that donated to TeamSeas and the creator community for being so awesome in supporting this 🥺❤️❤️❤️ #teamseas pic.twitter.com/DBUNQoYAit — MrBeast (@MrBeast) January 2, 2022 Although they hit the target goal, it’s only the beginning for Team Seas. They promised there’s “more to come” in 2022 as they roll out more ocean cleanups around the world. In the meantime, if you feel like removing some trash, you can still donate a dollar to remove one pound anytime you’d like.

MrBeast smashes another PewDiePie YouTube milestone as he keeps dominating – Dexerto
MrBeast smashes another PewDiePie YouTube milestone as he keeps dominating YouTube: PewDiePie, MrBeastMrBeast has smashed another long-standing PewDiePie milestone on YouTube as he’s now got the most total views on a channel to go with surpassing his incredible subscriber numbers. When PewDiePie started cutting back on his YouTube content, it was a foregone conclusion that his standing as the biggest and most popular YouTuber around would start to come under pressure. Well, back in November, MrBeast finally surpassed PewDiePie’s 111m subscriber count, putting himself above the previous king by a fair margin. The Swede had even urged Jimmy and his team to take his spot during a Q&A video as he settled into his new life in Japan in 2022. Despite being at the top, MrBeast hasn’t rested on his laurels. His channels and business ventures continue to grow and grow, and as a result, he’s managed to take yet another one of PewDiePie’s massive milestones away from him. MrBeast beats PewDiePie for total views on main YouTube channel As of July 26, MrBeast has now surpassed the massive total views record as his dominance over YouTube continues and he keeps on blowing past Pewds’ accomplishments. PewDiePie previously held the top spot and had 29,069,308,089 views, but as of the last updated count, the American YouTuber has shot passed him with 29,077,461,841 views on his main channel. Of course, this number is always in flux, but with MrBeast pumping out videos more regularly than PewDiePie it’s unlikely that the previous YouTube king is going to reclaim his spot from Jimmy. Despite his success against PewDiePie, it’s going to be hard for MrBeast to topple some other creators that stand above. Discounting some of the music-focused channels out there, Vlad and Niki – a channel focused on content for kids – has a whopping 77,448,333,741 total views. MrBeast, for all his success, has barely gotten a quarter of the way there, which is just ridiculous.

MrBeast smashes his own YouTube views record from Squid Game video in only 24 hours – Dexerto
MrBeast smashes his own YouTube views record from Squid Game video in only 24 hours MrBeastMrBeast has smashed his own record, with his most recent video even outperforming his viral Squid Game recreation in its first 24 hours, becoming the second most viewed video in 24 hours in YouTube history. From dethroning Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg as the most-subscribed creator on the platform to breaking the record “for most burgers sold in a day by a single restaurant,” MrBeast is no stranger to setting records. The philanthropist even shattered the record for gaining the most subscribers in a week in 2022, with his channel growing by a whopping 3,188,959 subscribers between December 12-19. Now, MrBeast has struck gold again, smashing his own record for the most views on a video in its first 24 hours — which has even topped his Squid Game video. MrBeast breaks Squid Game video view record On June 10, MrBeast released a new video, showing off a $1 vs $1,000,000,000 Yacht, featuring special guests Tom Brady and Pete Davidson. A couple of hours after publishing the video, the YouTuber revealed that the new video was even outperforming his viral Squid Game recreation. “So far the video is outperforming my Squid Game video,” he wrote in a tweet. After a full day passed since the video was uploaded, Jimmy followed up, revealing that his new video topped the Squid Game recreation by five million views in its first day — marking it the second most viewed video in 24 hours in YouTube history. Initially, the record was held by MrBeast himself, with the highly-anticipated Squid Game recreation garnering 42.6 million views in a day. However, the record is now held by The Guardian’s video capturing the moment when Will Smith unexpectedly slapped Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards — which amassed over 48 million views in the first 24 hours. With MrBeast’s latest video falling just a couple of hundred thousand views behind, there’s no doubt the YouTuber will be back to reclaim the record in the near future.

When you take a look at the top YouTube creators, you’ll see names like PewDiePie, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and MrBeast.

In a rare Twitter rant, MrBeast went so far as to call out the music labels for “being c**ts” over the issue. The YouTube copyright debate continues to heat up between original creators and users, especially when it comes to the use of music on the platform. As YouTubers fight to include popular music tracks in their content, some argue that it is ‘stealing’ from original music artists. For songwriters, it is the potential loss of money. Whereas, for content creators who are struck for using copyrighted content, it could mean having to take profitable videos down or even a suspension. It is a problem that YouTubers of every size have struggled with, even MrBeast, who hit out at music labels for, as he claims, repeatedly striking material for copyright infringement. MrBeast hits out at music labels On May 10, MrBeast posted an unusual tweet in which he panned “major music labels” for continuing to put out copyright strikes against YouTubers. “A major music label should stop copyright striking YouTubers every opportunity it gets and instead let us use their music,” he claimed. “Then, we YouTubers all rally and get them 10s of billions of impressions on their music for not being c*nts to us.” Several YouTubers have been affected by issues over copyright claims on the website. For example, former Twitch streamer Ludwig was banned from the platform for playing ‘Baby Shark’ during his stream. Whereas, PewDiePie has previously claimed he can’t even use his own music due to copyright issues. A major music label should stop copyright striking YouTubers every opportunity it gets and instead let us use their music and then we YouTubers all rally and get them 10s of billions of impressions on their music for not being cunts to us. Thoughts? 😂 — MrBeast (@MrBeast) May 10, 2022 Musicians criticize MrBeast’s take MrBeast’s comments however, sparked a fiery debate among his followers coming from both sides of the argument. Several musicians fired back at the YouTuber arguing that “free advertising” is not suitable payment for their work. One Twitter user criticized MrBeast for the comment given how he makes “$50 mil a year on YouTube” while musicians often struggle to make ends meet: “How about you pay the creators who make your videos great?” You make $50 mil a year on YouTube. Most musicians are broke. How about you pay the creators who make your videos great. Music makes the world go around. — Ross Gerber (@GerberKawasaki) May 10, 2022 One fan suggested a way that creators could use the music while still providing money to original artists: “YouTube could have a library similar to its audio library where you could license individual songs for usage in a specific video, then the royalties could find their way to artists as well.” If anything, surely there’s a deal to be made with some of the music labels where YouTube could have a library similar to its audio library where you could license individual songs for usage in a specific video, then the royalties could find their way to artists as well — Ted Nivison (@TedNivison) May 10, 2022 MrBeast didn’t respond to the counter-arguments, but it’s clear that he hopes to use music in his content to “advertise” artists rather than steal their material. However, with songwriters claiming this isn’t sufficient enough payment for their work, the argument is far from over.

MrBeast shuts down YouTuber for “harassing” him over Ryan Trahan cutout – Dexerto
MrBeast shuts down YouTuber for “harassing” him over Ryan Trahan cutout YouTube: NFLYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has shut down another YouTuber for “harassing” him after revealing he wanted to deliver Jimmy a cutout of Ryan Trahan. Over the last few years, an increasing number of YouTubers have set off to deliver something random to MrBeast with the sole purpose of making content. One of the most popular videos of a YouTuber going viral by doing this is Ryan Trahan who traveled for a month straight in order to bring Donaldson a penny. YouTuber Dino Favara, Jr had set off to deliver MrBeast a cutout of Ryan Trahan, but Jimmy quickly shut him down after being tagged on Twitter. MrBeast brutally slams YouTuber for “harassing” him On June 16, Favara posted on Twitter that he had just picked up a cutout of Ryan Trahan and that the “hunt is on” for MrBeast as he was just an hour away from where the YouTuber lives. “Go away. I don’t want your stupid cutout. I’m tired of people harassing me,” MrBeast replied. His reply to the YouTuber has been viewed over two million times in the hours since, with many shocked at how he responded. Dino Favara quickly responded to Jimmy. “Yes sir. I’ve never been more happy with a rejection in my life,” he said. The YouTuber also uploaded a video to Twitter explaining that the wanted to make a point that YouTube “promotes harassment culture” and that he was okay not seeing Jimmy to give him the cardboard cutout. “You have to clout chase. Will I be trying to harass and stalk Jimmy today? No,” Dino explained. “MrBeast finally snapped. He snapped on this guy.” MrBeast hasn’t commented since his initial reply, but we’ll be sure to update you if he does.

MrBeast sides with Elon Musk’s criticism of “hatestream” mainstream media – Dexerto
MrBeast sides with Elon Musk’s criticism of “hatestream” mainstream media YouTube: IMPAULSIVE, PewDiePieYouTube star MrBeast is siding with Elon Musk as the Tesla CEO hits out at negativity from mainstream media outlets in a string of tweets. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of YouTube’s biggest stars. The content creator is best known for his ambitious, big-budget videos and million-dollar, high stakes challenges. He’s also big on philanthropy. The YouTuber — who boasts 90 million subscribers on his main channel — has founded his very own charity, funded completely by YouTube views, to help feed his local community. Despite his accomplishments with such feats as #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas (where he planted 20 million trees and raised $30 million to clean the world’s oceans), MrBeast is no stranger to earning criticism over his every move. Most recently, MrBeast garnered backlash over his record-breaking rendition of Netflix’s Squid Game, facing accusations of plagiarism and criticisms of “cheapening” the creator’s hard work. (It’s worth noting that Hwang Dong-hyuk actually gave MrBeast his express approval for the video in an interview.) Now, it looks like MrBeast is shading the retaliation he gets in a surprising Twitter conversation with none other than Tesla’s Elon Musk. MrBeast hits back at criticism and sides with Elon Musk On February 8, 2022, Elon Musk hit out at mainstream media outlets on Twitter, writing: “Why is the ‘traditional’ media such a relentless hatestream? Real question.” MrBeast replied some time after the tweet was posted, appearing to agree with Musk and even offering up his own experiences as a top-tier influencer. “Bro, I could literally feed a million people and they wouldn’t care in the slightest, but the second I slip up and do something wrong, they’ll pounce all over it lmao,” Donaldson wrote. Bro I could literally feed a million people and they wouldn’t care in the slightest but the second I slip up and do something wrong they’ll pounce all over it lmao — MrBeast (@MrBeast) February 8, 2022 Although MrBeast didn’t respond to the initial backlash surrounding his staggering Squid Game success — which earned over 130 million views in 24 hours — it seems he is well aware of the microscope he’s put under as one of YouTube’s most popular personalities. It doesn’t seem to be slowing him down though, as he just unleashed his own line of chocolate bars with a chance for buyers to earn a Willy Wonka experience at his chocolate factory.

MrBeast shocks waitress by leaving brand-new car as a tip – Dexerto
MrBeast shocks waitress by leaving brand-new car as a tip MrBeastYouTube star and philanthropist MrBeast surprised a waitress with a brand new car as her tip, and the reaction was priceless. With his YouTube empire valued at approximately $20bn by financial experts, Jimmy ‘MrBeast‘ Donaldson has helped people worldwide over the past couple of years. Most notably, the YouTube star has given away millions of meals to those in need through his very own nonprofit organization Beast Philanthropy. MrBeast has definitely changed lives for the better, recently helping to cure 1,000 people’s blindness, as well as provide 20,000 children in South Africa with their first pair of shoes. Now, he’s surprised a waitress with a brand new car in the form of a tip – and her reaction was absolutely priceless. MrBeast tips waitress with new car In a March 26 TikTok clip, MrBeast asked the waitress what the biggest tip she’d ever received — which turned out to only be $50. The YouTube star then asked if anybody has ever tipped a car before, and suddenly presented a pair of keys from his pocket. It’s fair to say the waitress was shocked to her core. “Are you serious? You’re lying. This is a car key, this is not a car,” she said with disbelief. They then headed to the car park, where a brand-new Toyota Corolla — which was wrapped in MrBeast’s Feastables chocolate bar branding — was awaiting its new owner. Refusing to believe it was real, the waitress then broke down into tears, explaining how she was actually late for work that day because her Uber was slow. It’s unpredictable what MrBeast might do next, but he’s certainly changing lives for the better.

MrBeast shocks Logan Paul with horrifying car crash story: “I almost died” – Dexerto
MrBeast shocks Logan Paul with horrifying car crash story: “I almost died” YouTube: IMPAULSIVEJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the world’s most popular YouTubers — but he and his crew almost suffered a horrible fate after driving back home from filming a lengthy video. There’s almost no one who frequents YouTube who hasn’t heard of MrBeast. The North Carolina-based content creator has become one of the platform’s biggest stars, boasting over 68 million subscribers on his main channel, alone. Known for orchestrating insane challenges, filming large-scale videos, and giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars to his friends and local communities, MrBeast holds nothing back when it comes to his content. However, Donaldson and his friend group have done enough crazy stunts to warrant some concern on the part of his viewers — like that time he buried himself alive for 50 hours — but nothing comes close to the story he regaled to fellow YouTuber Logan Paul. During a September 7 episode of the imPaulsive podcast, MrBeast described the horrifying moment when he and his friends “almost died” while traveling back home from filming an 8-hour video the day before. Donaldson made sure to clarify that he and his friends had not been drinking the night prior and had all gotten a full night’s sleep. Unfortunately, the driver of the car they were taking on the way back home fell ill — and immediately fell asleep at the wheel after notifying MrBeast of his condition. “I’m looking at the road, and I turn around and look to my left, and his head’s just bobbling,” he described, mimicking his friend’s comatose state. “His arms just went limp.” After taking hold of the wheel, Donaldson yelled at his friend to “wake the f**k up,” before his other friend in the backseat “literally punched him in the head” — to no avail. “So we’re screaming, ‘Wake up!’ as we’re going down the highway, and his foot is still on the gas, so we’re slowly going faster,” he continued. “We’re going 80, 85. …and I’m just like, ‘Tyler, I don’t think this f**ker is gonna wake up.’” Luckily, MrBeast managed to avoid running into anyone while he took his friend’s foot off the gas (all while simultaneously steering the car based on the sound of the wheel hitting the paint strip on the road), tapping the brakes with his hand to get the vehicle to slow down. Once the crew had stopped on the side of the road, his friend regained consciousness and promptly slammed on the accelerator. Donaldson then turned the wheel away from the road and toward a concrete wall, which stopped them from going any further — although MrBeast did end up suffering a head injury. It turns out that MrBeast’s comatose friend had suffered sudden cardiac arrest in the middle of their trip back home due to a highly rare condition. “By all metrics, he was literally dead, and there was a dead man driving the car,” Donaldson explained. (Topic begins at 19 minutes) Luckily, the entire crew emerged (mostly) unscathed, and their friend at the wheel is alive and well — but the horrifying ordeal certainly made for an interesting story!

Mr Beast actually tipped an entire house to helpful pizza delivery guy – Dexerto
Mr Beast actually tipped an entire house to helpful pizza delivery guy Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is known across YouTube as the net’s biggest philanthropist, famous for giving away huge amounts of cash. However, money isn’t the only thing he’s giving away this holiday season. Previously, MrBeast teased a video where he gifted an entire house as a tip to his pizza delivery man – one project of many that he claimed cost him “millions.” Now, that video has finally arrived, but it’s a bit different than fans originally thought, given the YouTuber’s cryptic Tweet on the subject. I bought a house, ordered pizza, and tipped the key 🤪 Can’t wait for you guys to see this later this week 😍 — MrBeast (@MrBeast) November 19, 2019 Rather than merely gifting his Domino’s delivery man – named Joey – the house and bailing, Donaldson and crew recruited him under the premise of helping him move furniture into a home they’d bought “for a friend” who’d been “laid off.” Little did Joey know that the house was actually intended for him, his three-year-old daughter, and their pet dog, which MrBeast filled with furniture, toys, and other paraphernalia to suit his tastes. MrBeast, as usual, spared no expense when furnishing the abode, spending over $3k on a smart fridge and $2,799 on a lawnmower – culminating in a hefty $9k bill for a shopping trip at Lowe’s. Of course, MrBeast couldn’t steal away a worker without notifying their employer, to whom he divulged their plan, later learning that Joey had to drive an hour to work and lived in an area with a disagreeable landlord. “I’m just happy that he needs it, and this would genuinely change his life,” the YouTuber admitted. After a fourteen-hour project of furnishing the $100k home, MrBeast and crew finally revealed their plan to Joey, who broke into tears after being shown around his new place that he’d unknowingly helped decorate. “The house we were in, it was a horrible house,” Joey said. “It was very unsafe. This house is honestly going to be a lot better. Safer for our kids and better for our living. We tried to get a house the day before y’all gave us this house. Now, we can stop worrying about where we’re gonna go from here.” MrBeast’s latest project follows his “free bank” video, which likewise saw emotional reactions from customers – proving once again that the YouTuber’s charitable heart continues to bring good into the world and change lives.

MrBeast shocked by FaZe Clan’s market value being so low – Dexerto
MrBeast shocked by FaZe Clan’s market value being so low Instagram: MrBeastMrBeast was left stunned after seeing FaZe Clan’s market value, with YouTube star calling on members such as Rug to outright purchase the org. Recently surpassing over 200 million subscribers, MrBeast is by far the biggest YouTuber out there. Not only that, but the YouTube star is on track to become the most followed individual on more than one platform, with him soon to surpass Addison Rae to become the biggest creator on TikTok too. With his fame has also come fortunes, which he’s used to make the best videos possible, sometimes spending millions on a single video. Nevertheless, it’s fair to say that YouTube was stunned on October 16 after seeing FaZe Clan’s publicly listed market value. MrBeast calls on Rug to buy FaZe Clan Responding to Dexerto reporting FaZe Clan’s stock price increased by 25% after winning the Halo World Championship, MrBeast called on fellow YouTuber and FaZe member Rug to just purchase the esports organization. “Does that say it’s worth 17M?” the 25-year-old asked, before questioning if FaZe Clan star ‘Rug’ if he could buy the esports organization. “@FaZeRug couldn’t you just buy FaZe at this point? lol” MrBeast wrote. It’s fair to say fans had fun toying with the idea of MrBeast potentially buying FaZe Clan himself, only to then give it away in a YouTube video. “Buy FaZe Clan and give them away to a lucky winner in a video,” one suggested. “Two weeks from now we’re gonna see a YouTube video titled ‘I bought faze, last one to leave the island gets the entire company’,” wrote another. Rug even responded too, calling on MrBeast to help him out and go halves on buying the organization. “Let’s go 50/50,” he replied, adding a laughing emoji. While it’s unlikely we’ll actually see MrBeast buy FaZe Clan, it’s no secret the YouTube star is a massive gamer, and in fact, looking to break into the world of esports with his own League of Legends team.

MrBeast shocked after someone opens up 4 MrBeast Burger restaurants in Germany – Dexerto
MrBeast shocked after someone opens up 4 MrBeast Burger restaurants in Germany YouTube: MrBeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson was shocked to learn that someone opened four MrBeast Burger restaurants in Germany without his knowledge, and they even used a picture of him to advertise it. MrBeast Burger has been an enormous success. The fast-food chain empire currently spans more than 1000 stores across Canada, the US, and the UK. While it hasn’t always had positive reviews, it’s nonetheless cemented its place in the industry. It’s only a matter of time before more stores pop up in other countries. However, just when it seemed like Germany was getting four of them, MrBeast revealed the ‘expansion’ was happening without his knowledge. “Someone is opening four Beast Burger restaurants in Germany without telling me,” he said on April 15. The YouTube star posted an image of the advertisement in question, which shows where they’ll be located — Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Koln. It also has ‘Jetzt auch in Deutschland!’ written at the bottom, which translates to ‘Now also in Germany!” And of course, it wouldn’t be a MrBeast Burger advertisement without having a picture of him eating a burger. “Who wants to translate me yelling at them?” he joked in response. He was also dumbfounded that whoever was responsible for the endeavor thought he somehow wouldn’t find out about it. “What’s the long-term plan here?” https://twitter.com/mrbeast/status/1515082084599189510?s=21&t=RSgh4meIvBSjxeptRf-phg At this stage, MrBeast seems to have no idea who is responsible. Though there’s a good chance he’ll almost certainly try to stop it — even if it means taking legal action. The good news, though, is once they nip it in the bud, it will set a precedent that should deter anyone else from doing the same. That way, when you order a MrBeast Burger, you’ll be getting the real deal, flaws and all.

MrBeast shares never before seen look at $14 million studios – Dexerto
MrBeast shares never before seen look at $14 million studios YouTube: MrwhosethebossYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson gave an exclusive tour around his incredible studio layout with its total worth amounting to $14 million. MrBeast is well-known for his big-budget YouTube videos. If he’s not spending millions on the production side, he’s giving away a whopping amount of money and prizes to overjoyed contestants. So, it’s no surprise that MrBeast needs a huge team of people and a wide variety of resources at his side to create his big-scale projects. He gave popular YouTuber Arun Maini (a.k.a Mrwhosetheboss) a guided tour around his incredible studio complex and viewers were astounded to learn that the entire setup is worth nearly $14.2 million. However, with a massive collection of high-end tech and sets behind the scenes, it’s no surprise. MrBeast gives exclusive tour of studio MrBeast gave Maini a personal tour around his studio layout as he was in the process of making his ‘100 Girls Vs 100 Boys For $500,000‘ video. MrBeast claimed that he’d “never shown the behind the scenes of [his] baby like this before.” He started off by showing how one of the warehouses used to film his projects contains multiple floors of rooms and office spaces, many of which contain top of the range TVs. Maini also got a look at the Camera Room which houses an estimated $1.3 million worth of high-end camera gear. Getting a little more personal, MrBeast shared a brief look at his own apartment in the building where he showed off his giant fridge and heated toilet seat. The 24-year-old then headed over to his “top secret” Server Room where “all the projects that they are ever working on” are stored. He claimed the total cost of the giant computer was $400k. However, MrBeast then guided Maini over to his second studio in the complex which is home to yet another bundle of studios that the team uses for filming. Not to mention, it holds a large room containing all the wild props and costumes that have been used in MrBeast’s content. Viewers were understandably astounded by the amount of money behind MrBeast’s studio setup. Although, with the YouTuber hitting the 100 million subscriber milestone on the platform, it certainly is paying off for him.

MrBeast shatters another major YouTube record with ‘lost at sea’ video YouTube / YouTube: @MrBeastMrBeast has broken yet another YouTube record with his ‘Stranded at Sea’ video, this time for the most views on a non-music video in 24 hours. Over the years, MrBeast has shattered some noteworthy records across the YouTube platform. In 2021, the content creator earned the record for the fastest non-music video to reach 100 million views with his Squid Game video. The content creator continues to smash milestones, as on July 25, 2023, MrBeast overtook Pewdiepie as the individual creator with the most total channel views at 29,077,461,841.

I’ll never take you all for granted.” At the time of writing, the ‘Stranded at Sea’ video has now surpassed 50 million views and is currently #1 on YouTube’s trending videos.

LOL.” I remember seeing some thread about “MrBeast falling off” last year. — Paddy Galloway (@PaddyG96) August 6, 2023 LOL. MrBeast capped off the occasion by giving a parting shot to some of his haters and said he doesn’t want to hear anyone say he only gets views by giving away money ever again. “We broke the world record with me and my friends suffering and cracking jokes.”

MrBeast shares full video on X to test Elon Musk’s ad revenue against YouTube – Dexerto
MrBeast shares full video on X to test Elon Musk’s ad revenue against YouTube YouTube: MrBeastMrBeast has shared a full video on X (previously Twitter) in order to test the new ad revenue system Elon Musk introduced and compare it with his earnings on YouTube. If there are any two individuals that the average joe might know on the internet, it has to be MrBeast and Elon Musk. Both are high-profile celebs who have taken the online world by storm but for completely different reasons. One rose to fame utilizing YouTube, creating entertaining content that appealed to the masses, granting them plenty of attention. The other was already well known within the tech world, branching across into the social space. Musk, owner and CEO of Tesla recently purchased X (previously known as Twitter). Following a complete rebranding of the site, Musk has made plenty of changes to the social media platform, for better or for worse. One such change was to the ad revenue system, with Musk letting users monetize their posts. Now MrBeast is trying his hand at gauging Musk’s ad revenue system, posting up a full video onto X to investigate how much revenue it could generate. “$1 Car vs $100,000,000 Car!!! I’m curious how much ad revenue a video on X would make so I’m reuploading this to test it. Will share ad rev next week,” the content creator explained. MrBeast reuploaded their full $1 car vs $100 million car video which was uploaded to their YouTube channel 3 months prior. MrBeast also mentioned that they would share how much ad revenue they made from the video next week with users, giving a backstage look at how much they make. It’s uncertain what this may spell for the future of MrBeast’s YouTube channel, with many other popular content creators already retiring from the website. Should X’s revenue stand out, perhaps this won’t just be a one off.

MrBeast shares first thing he’d do as Twitter CEO – Dexerto
MrBeast shares first thing he’d do as Twitter CEO YouTube: MrBeastIn the turbulence following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover, people have asked him to step down and give platform leadership to someone else. MrBeast is a name on that ballot, and he’s got a plan for it he takes over as Twitter CEO. When Elon Musk put up a Twitter poll to determine whether or not he should step down as CEO, users were in favor of having him step down and giving the keys to Twitter to someone else. Following the results of the poll, many names have been thrown out there for people who could replace Musk as Twitter CEO, but, if we’re going off of the most popular figure vying for the position, MrBeast would win by a landslide. His tweet asking if he could fill the role has almost a million likes at the time of writing, and he’s already got plans for the direction he’d take the social media platform. MrBeast has a plan if he takes over as Twitter CEO Twitter implemented (and quickly rescinded) a plan meant to heavily limit users’ ability to share other social media platforms on their account. This is, in part, what prompted Musk’s Twitter poll asking if he should step down. MrBeast asked if he could take over as Twitter CEO, something that Elon responded to by saying that it wasn’t “out of the question”. Following Musk’s response, MrBeast teased what his “first order of business” as CEO would be: making Twitter a go-to platform for posting videos rather than a portal meant for linking to other platforms. While some Twitter users were completely on board with MrBeast’s plan, others are a bit hesitant. Things like monetization and a more comprehensive video streaming service were some suggestions for things that would have to be implemented to encourage users to post videos. MrBeast’s approach is almost the polar opposite of Musk’s original plan, and he aims to create a Twitter that can dominate the competition rather than having to restrict it. It’s hard to say whether or not this would be a step forward for Twitter, and if MrBeast will even take over as CEO in the first place.

MrBeast set to surpass Addison Rae on path to becoming TikTok’s most-followed account – Dexerto
MrBeast set to surpass Addison Rae on path to becoming TikTok’s most-followed account YouTube: FLAGRANTMrBeast is closing in on Addison Rae’s TikTok follower count as the YouTuber continues his quest to become the most followed account on the platform. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the most famous and well-known content creators on the internet. The megastar has made a name for himself by putting together elaborate challenges, such as his own Squid Game, as well as mammoth giveaway videos that always rocket to the top of the YouTube homepage. As a result of this, MrBeast has garnered a major following and is beloved by millions of fans all across the world. In 2022, MrBeast finally overtook PewDiePie on YouTube, breaking the record for the most subscribed independent creator on the platform with over 153 million subs at the time. Now, his sights are set of conquering another platform. At the time of writing, MrBeast’s TikTok account is currently sitting at 88.1 million followers, with Addison Rae sitting at 88.6 million. With only a 500K gap between the two, MrBeast is closer than ever to overtaking Rae. So why has MrBeast’s TikTok account seen a surge in followers this past year? Partly due to fellow content creator NoahGlennCarter’s mission to get him to the top of TikTok. Back in May 12, 2023, NoahGlennCarter issued a challenge to his own followers and the larger TikTok community, stating, “If we help him get to number one, he will be breaking a record that’s never been broken before, as he will become the first person ever to be the most-followed on two of the world’s biggest social media platforms at the same time.” If he is able to do so, this will make him the fourth most followed content creator in the world, only sitting behind Bella Poarch, Charli D’Amelio, and Khaby Lame. Therefore, we’ll be sure to keep you updated in the coming days and weeks if MrBeast is able to finally surpass Rae.

MrBeast shares first look inside ambitious Squid Game YouTube project – Dexerto
MrBeast shares first look inside ambitious Squid Game YouTube project Netflix / Instagram: MrBeastYouTube sensation MrBeast is gearing up for the biggest Squid Game recreation on the internet. Before filming gets underway, fans now have a good idea of what to expect, with the star sharing photos of the set. Whether you’ve seen the record-shattering Netflix series or not, there’s no denying that Korean drama Squid Game has taken social media by storm. We’ve already seen video game recreations, Halloween costumes going viral on TikTok, and even a few high-profile renditions with popular YouTubers. But all the while, everyone has been waiting to see how MrBeast, one of the internet’s biggest stars, is preparing to go above and beyond. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait much longer as filming is set to get underway shortly. Before 456 real contestants start the first ‘deadly’ game (no one should actually die in MrBeast’s show, unlike the original), we now have our first look inside MrBeast’s ambitious project. “The Squid Game sets are coming together,” MrBeast shared in a November 3 Twitter post. Three accompanying pictures reveal near-identical recreations of the set design from the original show. First up we see the YouTuber adding some paint to the walls of Red Light, Green Light, the opening challenge. Next is a larger-than-life swing set featured in the Dalgona game where contestants have to carve out perfect shapes from a batch of honeycomb. Last we see the biggest set on display, a full-scale remake of the village seen throughout the heart-breaking marble challenge from Episode 6. It’s clear MrBeast is aiming for a direct take on the hit Netflix series, rather than presenting his own unique games. That’s not to say we won’t see some original ideas in his YouTube project, though. The Squid Game sets are coming together! Wish the 456 contestants good luck next week 😈 pic.twitter.com/LdHf3OSsOE — MrBeast (@MrBeast) November 3, 2021 We already know MrBeast was stumped for ideas on how to realize the tug of war challenge from Squid Game. The YouTuber even asked fans for inspiration before settling on something mysterious. There’s currently no telling just when MrBeast’s Squid Game video will go live. But with sets almost ready, filming could begin shortly with 456 contestants all ready to go.

MrBeast set to become Willy Wonka with new Feastables snack brand – Dexerto
MrBeast set to become Willy Wonka with new Feastables snack brand Night Media / FeastablesJimmy Donaldson is setting himself to be Willy Wonka — kind of — by launching his Feastables snacking brand with a new mystery-ticket sweepstakes to claim “MrBeast’s Chocolate Factory”. With a successful career of philanthropic YouTubing under his belt, as well as a chain of restaurants, MrBeast now wants to disrupt another industry with his new “mission-driven” snacking brand. The YouTuber will be giving away over a million dollars in prizes that include bikes, Beats by Dre earbuds, a Tesla Model 3, and much more. But 10 people who hit the grand-prize will be invited to participate in one of MrBeast’s YouTube videos to compete for what he calls a Chocolate Factory. Though it’s unclear what he means by that, the mystery event quickly drummed up comparisons to Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Feastables will launch with a trio of chocolate bars marketed as “better-for-you snacking” and simply called ‘MrBeast Bars.’ But nothing from Donaldson comes without a bit of competition and that’s where the mystery ticket in every candy bar comes into play. By going to the Feastables site and entering the code from a packaged ticket, fans can see if they can claim any of the offered rewards and prizes. This will be yet another gamble from the YouTuber that could turn out in another commercial success like his MrBeast Burger chain in 2020 with over 1,000 locations since then. With his legion of followers, MrBeast is banking on another viral component to the traditional business scheme but this time one lucky fan will also strike gold with Feastables.

MrBeast set to overtake Khaby Lame as most-followed creator on any platform Instagram: MrBeast / YouTube: Dave Does, Nas DailyYouTube star MrBeast is poised to overtake famous TikToker Khaby Lame as the most-followed content creator on any social platform on the net. When it comes to social media stars, there are a few names that stand out among the rest. One of those is Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, who ruled as YouTube’s number-one most-subscribed creator for years. However, his throne was eventually toppled by fellow YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson in 2022, who now sits at 160 million subscribers on his main channel. That wasn’t the only time PewDiePie suffered a “loss” of sorts (although he’s certainly not bothered by it). Charli D’Amelio also overtook him as the most-followed creator on any social platform back in 2021 when she reached 109.4 fans on TikTok. Charli, however, was eventually overtaken by Senegalese-Italian TikToker Khaby Lame, who still rules as the site’s most-followed creator… and the most followed influencer on any platform, overall. Will MrBeast overtake Khaby Lame as internet’s most-followed creator? That record might be set to change, though, as eagle-eyed fans have noticed that MrBeast’s subscriber count on YouTube is inching ever closer to Khaby’s TikTok following. At the time of writing, MrBeast boasts 160 million subscribers. Khaby Lame, on the other hand, has 160.2 million followers. This puts the two creators at neck-and-neck as they vie for the top spot… but this isn’t the only thing they’re competing for. Fans of MrBeast have been trying for weeks now to get the YouTuber to TikTok’s top spot, as well. Right now, he’s the site’s fifth most-followed influencer, falling right behind Addison Rae and Bella Poarch, with Charli and Khaby in 2nd and 1st place, respectively. While he might not be able to compete on TikTok right now, his YouTube presence continues to grow at impressive rates, with Donaldson recently breaking his own viewership record with his latest video in just 24 hours.

MrBeast sends YouTuber to private island to find secret treasure but there’s a twist – Dexerto
MrBeast sends YouTuber to private island to find secret treasure but there’s a twist YouTube: Mr BeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson sent YouTuber Matthew Beem to a mysterious island with promises of finding an exciting secret, but it ended up being a twist that Beem didn’t see coming. Entrepreneur and YouTuber MrBeast has no shortage of elaborate tricks up his sleeve. From rolling out a replica Willy Wonka factory to an incredible Squid Game-inspired competition, the content creator has done pretty much everything. Throwback to August 2020, and he even acquired a private island for a few videos. Though, he hadn’t used it for anything until recently. Fellow YouTuber Matthew Beem set sail in hopes of discovering a major treasure left behind by MrBeast, but there was a twist in the tale. MrBeast trolls YouTuber with brilliant hidden “treasure” Beem followed instructions from Donaldson that led him to the location that has become known as “MrBeast Island.” Beem headed there after MrBeast relayed the following message: “On my island is a buried treasure chest, I may or may not have buried it, but there’s a treasure chest there. Matthew, good luck finding it.” The island itself had “beaches with pigs, two different caves” and more awaiting Beem, but just what treasure was actually awaiting him? After days of camping out in the tropical paradise, Beem finally came across a treasure chest that contained a letter: “Congratulations, now subscribe to MrBeast.” The treasure chest contained nothing more than sand, leading Beem to enter a state of confusion. “It’s just filled with sand…everybody watching this video subscribe to MrBeast, subscribe to me for the effort,” said Beem as his journey came to a close. In the build-up to finding the treasure chest, Beem and his collaborators had attempted to light their own campfire and brave the wild. MrBeast is always concocting legendary events, so who knows, perhaps a second retreat to the deserted island is on the cards for a future video.

MrBeast sends message to Indian fans in quest to become most-subbed YouTube channel – Dexerto
MrBeast sends message to Indian fans in quest to become most-subbed YouTube channel Instagram: mrbeastMrBeast sent a message to his Indian fans amid his ongoing battle with T-Series in his bid to become YouTube’s most-subscribed channel. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the most famous influencers on the net thanks to his big-budget videos, over-the-top challenges, and viral philanthropic projects. Best known for his YouTube empire, MrBeast boasts a whopping 211 million total subscribers on his main channel alone — not counting his other channels like MrBeast Gaming (39.9 M) and MrBeast En Espanol (24.9 M). MrBeast famously surpassed PewDiePie in late 2022, marking a huge shift on the platform, as PewDiePie had been the undisputed ‘king’ of YouTube for years… until he was overtaken by T-Series in 2019. After beating out PewDiePie, MrBeast jokingly vowed “revenge” against T-Series, an Indian music label that currently boasts over 253 million subscribers. The channel is the only thing standing between MrBeast and YouTube supremacy — and he’s hellbent on getting to the top. MrBeast sends message to Indian fans amid YouTube race with T-Series However, he’s making sure that his Indian fans aren’t feeling called out by his ongoing battle with the label. The YouTuber sent out a message to his Indian viewers in a post on Twitter/X, saying that he’s merely trying to become the site’s number one most-subscribed channel. “With the upcoming sub race with T-Series, I just want to make clear I love my fans from India and this has nothing to do with countries,” he wrote. “I just want to be #1 most subscribed, haha.” Fans seem to be on MrBeast’s side, with many referencing his aim to get “revenge” for PewDiePie after Donaldson went to bat for PewDiePie in his war against T-Series years ago — even going so far as to publicly promote Pewd’s channel at the Super Bowl in 2019. YouTube isn’t the only platform MrBeast has been dominating recently. In fact, MrBeast got a major leg up in TikTok’s rankings earlier this month, beating out Addison Rae to become the site’s fourth most-followed creator.

MrBeast sends mystery boxes to influencers and no one knows what it means – Dexerto
MrBeast sends mystery boxes to influencers and no one knows what it means Twitter: Casey Neistat / Instagram: MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast is sending mystery boxes to a few top influencers — but no one knows what’s inside them, or what they could be for. At least, not yet. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the most popular content creators on the net. The YouTuber boasts a combined following of well over 100 million subscribers across multiple channels, and is best known for his high-stakes challenges and ambitious video projects. Coming off the success of his viral Squid Game recreation and his $30 million #TeamSeas ocean cleanup initiative, it looks like MrBeast is gearing up for another major event — but this one is decidedly more mysterious than the rest. Casey Neistat & more receive mystery boxes from MrBeast In late January, a few top YouTubers in the space shared on social media that they’d received a mysterious package from MrBeast. Inside the packages are a blue, patterned box secured with a padlock, safely sequestering away whatever’s inside. it appears that mr beast sent me some sort of time 💣 pic.twitter.com/IEmvNx4Vet — Casey Neistat (@Casey) January 27, 2022 @MrBeast my curiosity is taking over … pic.twitter.com/59JxD0jGjs — ludwig (@LudwigAhgren) January 29, 2022 Right now, there’s been no word of what these boxes actually contain, with the influencers who’ve received the gifts unable to crack the locks. Those who have received the boxes so far include YouTube’s Casey Neistat and even streaming star Ludwig, as well as creators Colin and Samir. Colin and Samir have even promised fans a cut of the mystery goods if they manage to successfully guess what’s inside the box. Only one hint has been given — it’s pretty heavy. View this post on Instagram Fans are already scrambling to decipher what this could possibly mean… but based on his previous statements, it looks like this could align with another big project he’s been teasing. Shortly after his Squid Game video broke multiple YouTube records, MrBeast did an interview with fellow YouTuber Marques Brownlee, where he said he has an idea that would be an “instant viral hit” and “bigger than Squid Game.” Whatever it is, there’s no telling if it has anything to do with the mysterious boxes going around. Could it be another Creator Games challenge, or something far more ambitious? Only time will tell as fans continue to scratch their heads over this latest move from one of YouTube’s biggest stars.

MrBeast says he “doesn’t care” about money after winning $10k board game tournament – Dexerto
MrBeast says he “doesn’t care” about money after winning $10k board game tournament YouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has claimed he “doesn’t care” about money after winning big and taking home $10k from a board game tournament. As the most-subscribed YouTuber with over 186 million subscribers on the platform, MrBeast is by far one of the biggest content creators in the world. Skyrocketing to fame with over-the-top challenges, experiments and generously giving back to friends, family, fans, and those who need it, sometimes his videos cost millions to make. The 25-year-old has proven time and time again that he’s willing to spend every penny he has to make the best videos. Even after winning big in a board game tournament, the YouTuber says he “doesn’t care” about the money. MrBeast wins $10k from Dune board game tournament In an October 8 tweet, the YouTube star revealed he won $10k from the Dune: Imperium Uprising board game tournament, and would now be heading to bury himself alive for a week. “I won $10,000 in a board game tournament. Now I’m off to bury myself alive for a week lol,” he wrote. In the replies, fans were quick to note that $10k doesn’t seem like a lot for MrBeast, given that he sometimes spends millions upon millions on a single video. “That’s nothing to you,” said one. “That’s like pocket money for you lol,” wrote another. “Could take 10k out his bank and he wouldn’t even know it was gone,” said a third. Hitting back, MrBeast admitted that he doesn’t even care about the money, explaining that he just enjoys strategy games. “Yeah I don’t care about the money, I just like strategy games,” he replied. With MrBeast continuing to set the bar higher with each and every video, pushing himself to the limits in the process, there’s no telling what he’ll get up to next.

MrBeast says he’s pushing himself to get weekly videos out despite “dying mentally” – Dexerto
MrBeast says he’s pushing himself to get weekly videos out despite “dying mentally” MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast has said he’s “dying mentally” as he continues to push himself to film daily to get out weekly videos. With close to 180 million subscribers, it’s more than fair to say MrBeast is the king of YouTube — even holding the title for the single most-subscribed independent creator on the platform. It’s no wonder he’s achieved such success either, with him certainly putting in the man-hours to reach the top. From breaking record after record, the 25-year-old has gone to some extreme lengths in the name of content, ranging from being stranded on a raft in the middle of the ocean for seven days to surviving 50 hours at the bottom of the world in Antarctica. On the other hand, some videos are much less extreme in some sense, with him spending millions to give back to his community and those in need, and other times casually crashing a train into a giant pit. However, the grind is certainly taking its toll on the YouTube star, with him saying he’s “dying mentally” as he continues to push himself. MrBeast opens up on mental health as he continues to “push himself” In a tweet on August 26, MrBeast opened up on his mental health struggles. To be able to upload weekly later this year, the YouTube star has been shooting videos every single day, and will need to keep it up for the rest of the year. “In order to upload weekly videos later this year I’ve been filming every single day (and only have a couple days off filming between now and end of year) and I’m dying mentally,” MrBeast wrote. “I hope you guys love these videos when they go up, I’m pushing myself to the max to get them done,” he said, adding the sobbing emoji. The YouTuber received waves of support from his community, with many urging him to take a break if he needs it, while others assured him they’ll love the videos no matter what. “Take care of yourself first. Your mental well-being should always be priority,” one wrote. “Oh you know we gone love them fam! but.. definitely don’t forget to take care of yourself,” said another. Recently, MrBeast set the record for the most views on a non-music YouTube video in its first 24 hours for three uploads in a row.

Mr Beast says “biggest video ever” is reason behind YouTube hiatus – Dexerto
Mr Beast says “biggest video ever” is reason behind YouTube hiatus Instagram: MrBeast[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTube star Jimmy ‘Mr Beast’ Donaldson has explained the reasons behind his recent hiatus, claiming that he’ll be back soon enough. Mr Beast has amassed a huge fan base thanks to his YouTube videos that mainly see him handing out cash to his friends and strangers if they can complete a series of challenges. These challenges have had rewards that range from a few hundred dollars to even a million dollars, but since early July, Mr Beast’s channel has been dormant. Fans have been speculating about his hiatus but the YouTuber and his pals have stayed pretty silent. That is, until now, where Mr Beast has pulled back the curtain and explained why he hasn’t uploaded a video since July 3. The YouTuber had been tweeting on July 19, when he apologized to his fans about not uploading a video in two weeks. “I’m sowy (sorry) for not posting for two weeks!” Donaldson tweeted, responding to some questions. “It will all make sense when you see our next few videos. Biggest stuff I’ve ever done.” After he had noted that something big is coming down the line, the YouTuber added that it’s going to be bigger than his $1,000,000 challenge. “Wyyyyyy bigger and way better. Idk how we even pulled this off,” he added. I’m sowy for not posting for two weeks! It will all make sense when you see our next few videos. Biggest stuff I’ve ever done ❤️❤️ — MrBeast (@MrBeast) July 20, 2020 Yes, wayyyyyy bigger and way better. Idk how we even pulled this off — MrBeast (@MrBeast) July 20, 2020 Of course, the teasing tweet had fans guessing about just how Mr Beast could be taking things a step further than his $1,000,000 challenge. Will he put up a bigger reward? Will he make the task even more difficult? Will it follow his Finger on the App challenge? Well, who knows. What Mr Beast has up his sleeve very much remains to be seen, and fans will just have to keep an eye on his YouTube channel as well as his social media accounts to see if they have any chance of getting involved.

MrBeast says closing his mouth in YouTube thumbnails is making fans watch more – Dexerto
MrBeast says closing his mouth in YouTube thumbnails is making fans watch more YouTube: Colin and SamirJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has revealed that closing his mouth in YouTube thumbnail pictures is actually making fans watch his videos more. Over the last few years, MrBeast has made it clear that he is one of the most talented creators when it comes to learning the YouTube algorithm. With that knowledge, Jimmy has amassed over 100M subscribers on just his main channel with millions more across the rest of his network. After testing different thumbnails for his most recent YouTube videos, MrBeast revealed on Twitter/X what fans seem to love the most. MrBeast fans don’t like his mouth open in thumbnails In a post on September 6, 2023, MrBeast revealed that he was using YouTube’s thumbnail tester to see which facial expression influenced the most views on his videos and he found out fans don’t like it when his mouth is open. “I closed my mouth on all my thumbnails and the watch time went up on every video lol,” he said. “My mouth is now closed in all my thumbnails but the war has just begun. We must not rest until mouths are closed in everyone’s thumbnails” When uploading a video to YouTube, everything from your thumbnail to the contents of the description has a chance to influence how your video does in the sites algorithm. YouTube creators have used the “shock face” expression on thumbnails for quite some time, but it appears that Donaldson is set to have yet another influence on the platform with his new discovery. We’ll have to wait to see if he shares more about the thumbnail tests in the future, but in the meantime, head over to our entertainment section for more news and other viral stories.

MrBeast roasts LCS after Doublelift banned from co-streaming League matches – Dexerto
MrBeast roasts LCS after Doublelift banned from co-streaming League matches YouTube: MrBeastYouTube king Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has hit out at the LCS after learning that Riot banned Doublelift from co-streaming pro matches after criticizing and claiming the league is dying. On July 14, retired League of Legends pro Yiliang ‘Peter’ Peng received a temporary ban from co-streaming the LCS. According to the ADC star, the surprise ban was due to his comments claiming that “the LCS is dying” after rumors emerged that Riot blocked Team Liquid’s Soren ‘Bjergsen’ Bjerg from competing in the MrBeast vs Ninja Charity tournament. Many jumped to Doublelift’s defense after he broke the news to his fans. Twitch star Tyler1 even chimed in, who slammed the LCS as “miserable” and called the ban a blessing in disguise. Now, even MrBeast has given his thoughts on the situation. During Doublelift’s broadcast on July 14, the popular League of Legends player admitted he was suspended from co-streaming the LCS. While it’s unclear exactly how long the ban will last, the streamer did confirm it was for criticizing the league. Upon hearing about the situation, MrBeast shared his thoughts in a tweet. Seemingly confused by the fact Doublelift was punished, the popular YouTuber criticized Riot’s decision. “This is a thing? Not letting people criticize the LCS is a phat L,” said the YouTuber Previously MrBeast has shown keen interest in joining the LCS franchise system with his very own organization. Despite his content not primarily revolving around gaming, he revealed it’s his ‘life goal’ to own a League of Legends team. While it’s certainly an ambitious goal, MrBeast has proved time and time again that nothing is out of his limits. However, perhaps he’ll be rethinking his goals after this recent controversy.

MrBeast sacrifices his own video to help PewDiePie regain YouTube record – Dexerto
MrBeast sacrifices his own video to help PewDiePie regain YouTube record MrBeast, PewDiePie – YouTubeIt’s no secret that popular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is an avid supporter of YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg – but MrBeast’s latest initiative to help PewDiePie requires a major sacrifice on his part. MrBeast uploaded a video in January with the title, “Make This Video The Most Liked Video On Youtube,” aiming to have the upload break records on the platform – but not enough to surpass PewDiePie’s own YouTube Rewind 2018 video, which was the most liked non-music video on the site at the time. However, MrBeast’s fanbase has since taken his request overboard, with his video now sitting at the top of the non-music video list at over 8.13 million likes. MrBeast called out this development in a Tweet on May 17, asking his fans to dislike the video in order to drop beneath PewDiePie’s “YouTube Rewind 2018 but it’s actually good.” “Go switch your like on my video to a dislike so PewDiePie can reclaim the title of the most liked non-music video,” MrBeast wrote. “I SPECIFICALLY SAID I WANTED TO BE #2 IN THE VIDEO.” While his video still reigns as the most liked non-music video as of the publication of this piece, it wasn’t always so; PewDiePie’s YouTube Rewind video quickly climbed to the top of the charts in late December of 2018, after YouTube’s own Rewind video was met with mass backlash. In fact, the official YouTube Rewind 2018 video is one of the most disliked videos in YouTube’s history, surpassing Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby’ to take the number one spot with over 16.14 million dislikes, after fans felt that some of the platform’s biggest moments weren’t featured in the yearly recap. Despite PewDiePie having the second most liked video on YouTube, his YouTube Rewind rendition isn’t even his most viewed upload on his channel – in fact, his “Bitch Lasagna” diss track against Bollywood label T-Series takes that spot, sitting at over 193 million views as of May 17. While PewDiePie has yet to respond to MrBeast’s call for dislikes, he still remains YouTube’s most subscribed independent creator, with over 95 million subs in light of his now-defunct battle with T-Series.

MrBeast roasted for appearing at NFL game in full Tampa Bay Bucs uniform – Dexerto
MrBeast roasted for appearing at NFL game in full Tampa Bay Bucs uniform Screenshot via Twitter/XYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson showed up at an NFL game in full uniform and the internet was not too kind about it. Over the past few years, MrBeast has raised the bar on YouTube with his massive challenge videos. They started out with him just pitting his friends against each other, but they’ve since gone on to incorporate thousands of subscribers and even celebrities. Outside of YouTube, he’s appeared on late-night talk shows and worked with the NFL a few times – including playing a part in commercials that have run during the Super Bowl. It appears that he’s continuing to do more stuff with the NFL as, on October 22, he was spotted at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the Atlanta Falcons kitted out in full uniform. While it may be the precursor to another big video, some fans weren’t too kind about it. MrBeast appears at Tampa Bay Bucs NFL game and the internet is baffled He didn’t get to play a snap during the game or anything like that, but MrBeast got the pseudo-NFL experience as he suited up for the Bucs prior to their 16-13 defeat to the Falcons. The YouTube star appeared before the game in full uniform to sign autographs for fans and, after the NFL posted a video of it all to Twitter/X, the internet got a little bit bemused by it all. “What is a MrBeast?” asked one NFL fan. “Blud thinks he’s on the team,” another joked. “This is so cringey,” another added. “Why is a Panthers fan in a Bucs jersey?” another one quizzed. The whole thing is for a new video given that MrBeast tweeted saying he’d signed a “48 hour contract for a video” but who knows what the full thing will inolve. Most of his loyal fans will be pretty excited for the full thing once it drops, but he won’t be able to call on too many non-fans to watch it. They’ve already chimed in and want an explanation for why a North Carolina native is wearing a Bucs uniform.

MrBeast roasts fan for getting his logo tattooed on his leg – Dexerto
MrBeast roasts fan for getting his logo tattooed on his leg YouTube’s king of big-budget productions and social experiments, MrBeast, has a fairly dedicated fanbase – one of which paid to have the YouTuber’s logo tattooed on his leg. Twitter user ‘Lefty’ tagged MrBeast in a Tweet on November 9, where he explained that he got the tattoo in honor of the YouTuber’s recent 10 million subscriber milestone. Attached to the post was a picture of the tattoo in question, placed on Lefty’s left thigh. “Bruh for MrBeast hitting 10 million, I got a tattoo of his logo,” Lefty wrote. “It’s pretty crazy, but yo, you a real one.” Good job, way to be a Maverick and pave your own path. https://t.co/ULRH9BbyFj — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) November 10, 2018 MrBeast saw the post and retweeted it, captioning it with a cheeky statement that compared the fan to one of Logan Paul’s infamous ‘Mavericks.’ “Good job, way to be a Maverick and pave your own path,” MrBeast wrote. He wasn’t finished there; he Tweeted the picture again, insinuating that might even change his logo after the fan’s odd show of solidarity. “This guy just got my logo tattooed on himself,” he continued. “It would be hilarious if I changed my logo tomorrow.” This guy just got my logo tattooed on himself… It would be hilarious if I changed my logo tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/Ryh63k6irl — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) November 10, 2018 Another fan responded to the post, saying that they preferred MrBeast’s old logo, a blue and white striped tiger. “I like cheesecake, but you don’t see me talking about it,” MrBeast responded. Lefty himself mentioned the tattoo in a recent video, where he appeared to take MrBeast’s trolling in good humor. “Now everyone on Twitter has seen my hairy, white legs,” he joked. MrBeast recently made waves for creating a city-wide ad campaign to promote PewDiePie, which helped the YouTuber surge past competitor channel T-Series.

MrBeast reveals wild plans for final video in event of his death – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals wild plans for final video in event of his death YouTube: FLAGRANTYouTube star MrBeast already knows what his final video will be in the event of his death and revealed the eyebrow-raising concept during an episode of Andrew Schulz’s ‘Flagrant’ podcast. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is arguably one of the most popular content creators on YouTube. Boasting well over 100 million subscribers (second only to PewDiePie), MrBeast has risen in the ranks with his viral videos, extreme challenges, and outside business ventures like MrBeast Burger and his Feastables chocolate bars. MrBeast is perpetually in a race to one-up himself, to see what he can do bigger or better in his next video… but his last video ever might trump all of his previous uploads. Donaldson sat down with comedian Andrew Schulz for an episode of the Flagrant podcast when he revealed his plans for his final video, which will be uploaded after his passing. MrBeast already knows what his final video will be when he dies The YouTuber explained that, should he pass away, he’ll conscript three of his closest friends — Chandler, Karl Jacobs, and Chris — who will automatically enter into a challenge where the last to keep their hand on his tombstone will win his channel. He also revealed that he has an entire “game plan” with written instructions on how to proceed with the challenge once he passes away, which he said he may have to update to include two more participants. He clarified that the challenge would likely take place “somewhere private” rather than an impressive vista like Egypt, as suggested by Schulz. “That is happening,” MrBeast confirmed. “Mark my words. I don’t know if I’ve really said it publicly — I tweeted it one time — but I’m serious. I don’t give a f**k how much you guys are crying. Put their f**king hands on the tombstone and give the channel to whoever wins, okay?” “Don’t bully them for it! They’re just doing what I want.” (Topic begins at 10:52) MrBeast says he plans to continue his YouTube career for at least “the next ten years” — and considering his current success both off and on the platform, there’s no telling where his channel will end up when he finally reaches that point.

MrBeast revels in Jimmy Kimmel’s attempt to describe his YouTube career – Dexerto
MrBeast revels in Jimmy Kimmel’s attempt to describe his YouTube career YouTube/Jimmy KimmelYouTube stars MrBeast and Mark Rober joined Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss their TeamSeas project, but it was the host’s explanation of MrBeast that got the most laughs. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has become YouTube’s most generous creator, giving away millions of dollars to his partners, fans, and fellow influencers. When he’s not making people hold on to a box for a million dollars or hosting a massive game of hide and seek in an NFL stadium, he’s working alongside charities to help people and causes who need it most. Previously, Donaldson and his team launched the #TeamTrees movement where they looked to raise $20 million to plant 20 million trees. They did so just days before their deadline and now the YouTuber has started #TeamSeas – looking to clean up 30 million pounds of waste from the oceans. Like with TeamTrees, the #TeamSeas movement has gotten off to an impressive start, raising over 10.5 million in only a few days. In promoting the new campaign, MrBeast and fellow YouTuber Mark Rober joined Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss the idea including why they got involved and who they’ve gotten to donate. Though, as he tried to introduce his guests, Kimmel wasn’t quite sure how to properly describe YouTube’s favorite philanthropist. “MrBeast, you are famous for… you’re kind of a stuntman and not in the traditional sense,” he started. That piqued the YouTuber’s interest who wanted to see how the description would go. Ultimately, he was left grinning and laughing as Kimmel explained how he makes himself “uncomfortable” just to give away “a lot of money with “insane” tasks. Circling back to the charity, though, the YouTubers managed to get a $10,000 donation from the late-night host as he took two of their campaign hoodies off them for the low, low price of $5000 each. Ultimately, he noted that what they were doing was “fantastic” and applauded their efforts, which might now end up getting some bigger donations after their moment in the mainstream spotlight.

MrBeast reveals why he turned down $1 billion offer for his YouTube channel – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals why he turned down $1 billion offer for his YouTube channel YouTube: MrBeastMrBeast has revealed that he once turned down a staggering $1 billion offer for his YouTube channels and associated brands in MrBeast Burger and Feastables. There’s no denying that MrBeast is one of the biggest stars on the internet today. While his English-speaking YouTube channels combine for just under 200 million subscribers, that’s just the tip of the iceberg for his overall reach. Foreign language channels with custom dubbing, an entire food chain in MrBeast Burger, and even his own chocolate brand in Feastables. His team has built an ever-growing behemoth over the years and naturally, it’s worth a pretty penny. Without divulging all the specifics, MrBeast just revealed on the FLAGRANT podcast that he was even offered $1 billion for control of his sprawling content empire. Ultimately, he opted to decline in order to maintain full control over all the moving pieces. “I have been offered a pretty crazy [deal],” MrBeast told FLAGRANT co-host Andrew Schulz in a September 27 episode of the show. “Not official term sheets, but people that would actually be able to afford it… a billion dollars if we could own the channel and the companies.” Admittedly, the offer was “enticing” when it first came up in conversation. However, the YouTube star didn’t bite. “I don’t know if I want to work for my YouTube channel,” he explained. (MrBeast discusses the $1 billion offer at the 2:55:13 mark below) Having built his YouTube success from scratch, along with the associated companies in recent years, MrBeast isn’t quite ready to give up full control and work for a new owner. While he wasn’t able to reveal who the interested party was, he assured their offer was legitimate. “Not a term sheet,” he repeated, “but people who would. If I took it serious, they would’ve been like ‘Okay, let’s figure it out.’ I can’t go any further than that.” Clearly not looking to sell at this point in time, MrBeast has a more ambitious price tag in mind for a possible deal at some stage in the future. “$10 billion. $20 billion,” he said. “Something like that” would make him more comfortable handing over the keys to his kingdom. “In the future, I think we could be worth way more.”

MrBeast reveals why he needs to photoshop himself for YouTube thumbnails – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals why he needs to photoshop himself for YouTube thumbnails MrBeastYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has revealed exactly why he now needs to photoshop himself for thumbnails when making new YouTube videos, and the reason is just as bizarre as you’d expect. Known for his wacky challenges and giving away millions, MrBeast is one of the biggest YouTube creators in the world. Boasting an impressive following of almost 100M subscribers on his main channel alone, Jimmy isn’t a stranger to spending whatever he needs to make a viral video. While the video concept might be great, a lot of work goes into optimizing the video on YouTube. A crucial factor behind a video being a success is the thumbnail. Now, the YouTube star has explained why he needs to edit himself when making them. In his most recent video, the 24-year-old YouTuber attempted to go a whole 30 days without eating anything. But, in typical MrBeast fashion, there was of course a forfeit if he was to fail. While his friends teased him with delicious food, Jimmy surprisingly got off to a good start. However after going over 310 hours without eating, he cracked after celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay cooked up some mouthwatering scrambled eggs. As a result, the YouTube star was forced to shave off all his hair and go bald. But, he didn’t exactly think of the implications it could cause. As revealed in a July 22 tweet, MrBeast now has to photoshop hair on his head for his YouTube thumbnails. “One negative of shaving my head that I didn’t think of is now I have to photoshop hair on my head for thumbnails or people won’t realize it’s a MrBeast video,” the tweet read. One negative of shaving my head that I didn’t think of is now I have to photoshop hair on my head for thumbnails or people won’t realize it’s a MrBeast video 💀 — MrBeast (@MrBeast) July 22, 2022 (New video tomorrow 😁) With him closing in on 100M subscribers, we’re sure long-time fans will recognize him enough to click on new videos. However, it could certainly cause implications for those not too familiar with the creator.

MrBeast reveals why he paid $1 million for night at a hotel – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals why he paid $1 million for night at a hotel YouTube: TMG StudiosJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has revealed that he once paid $1,000,000 for a night at a hotel while explaining the basis for a video he just filmed. MrBeast’s YouTube videos have become increasingly more expensive throughout the years as he continues to grow on the platform. For example, his viral Squid Game video set him and his team back over $3.5 million. On a recent episode of the TMG Podcast with Cody Ko and Noel Miller, MrBeast shared the idea behind a future video that saw him paying $1M a night for a hotel. MrBeast reveals that he paid $1M for a hotel While talking to MrBeast, Cody Ko asked the YouTuber if there was an idea he wants to do soon. Jimmy was drawing a blank in regards to a new idea but shared one that they just finished filming. “In a video we just filmed, I started at the cheapest hotel we could find and went up to the most expensive hotel,” he explained. “So a $1 hotel all the way up to a $1M hotel. That video was wildly expensive.” He went on to explain that the luxury hotel was actually a giant castle and that they do a drone show and they bring in a celebrity chef to give you a giant meal. (Topic starts at 33:47 in the video) Although he said he just filmed this video, it’s safe to assume that it has to be edited still — so it’s hard to tell when it’ll be uploaded to his channel. In the meantime, you can head over and check out more entertainment news.

MrBeast reveals how he went from “$1 a day” to millions in Casey Neistat interview – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals how he went from “$1 a day” to millions in Casey Neistat interview YouTuber MrBeast has skyrocketed in popularity over the past 12 months, now gaining over one million subscribers a month, but he came from humble beginnings, as he revealed in an interview with fellow YouTuber Casey Neistat. Known for a variety of videos, many of which go insanely viral, MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, now has over 16 million YouTube subscribers, an increase of 14 million since January 2018. His success is certainly an anomaly, as not many YouTubers boast such a rapid rise in popularity in such a short period of time, especially with the, let’s say, unique style of content he provides. MrBeast often donates large sums of money to small Twitch streamers. Some of his most popular videos include “Spending 24 hours straight underwater” and “I spent 24 hours straight in an insane asylum”, or even “saying PewDiePie 100,000 times. Perhaps the content he is best known for, however, is donating large sums of money to Twitch streamers and recording both his and their reactions – but how has he managed to afford such lavish philanthropy? “I used to make a dollar a day, so I didn’t even have a microphone,” Donaldson explains, “My mindset was just ‘reinvest everything I make – every time I got a paycheck, that was the month’s budget.” Timestamp at 4:40 for mobile viewers. “So I saved up a dollar a day to buy a microphone, when I made a few thousand, I just spent a few thousand, when I made ten thousand, I just spent ten thousand. As I made more videos, I was like ‘I want to spend it on videos somehow.” Of course, the millions of dollars which he has handed out – to streamers, homeless people, waiters and Uber drivers to name but a few – is not all out of his pocket. Rather, he has used brand deals and sponsored videos to support these efforts, who in turn receive exposure through the millions of views each upload generates. MrBeast recently hosted a massive IRL battle royale game for many of the most popular content creators on YouTube and Twitch. MrBeast also explained why he thinks those videos do so well, stating: “There’s a big misconception that controversy and negativity is the only way to get clicks, because that’s how it is in the media, for the most part, they don’t want good stories, they just want bad things. “But I think on YouTube, it’s different, and people just haven’t realized it: positivity is just as clickbait as negativity.” More: Call of Duty pro and 100 Thieves CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag has also taken to donating large sums to his followers. His latest campaign saw him give out almost $150,000 in a new partnership with Cash App. – With so many personalities frequently utilizing their status to give back to their communities, there’s no telling who will be the next one to take part in the trend.

MrBeast reveals what he wants to do with everything he owns before he dies – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals what he wants to do with everything he owns before he dies Instagram: MrBeastYouTube philanthropist MrBeast has revealed that he wants to give away everything he owns before he dies, mentioning that dying with a bunch of money in the bank is a “dumb.” With over 94 million subscribers on YouTube, MrBeast is well known around the world for his high-dollar videos like the record-breaking Squid Game recreation. He’s also known for his charity, Beast Philanthropy, as well as giving back in other ways like his recent Feastables clearout which did by posting a ‘free’ promo code on Twitter that was available for 10 minutes. Now in an interview with TubeBuddy, MrBeast has revealed that he doesn’t plan on stopping his philanthropy anytime soon as he explained he wants to give away everything he owns before he dies. MrBeast wants to give away everything he owns Streamed on April 23, TubeBuddy interviewed MrBeast, who revealed what he has planned for his life’s earnings before he eventually passes away. While MrBeast had an initial goal of earning one billion dollars and then giving it all away, he explained that he has an updated goal. “I know that dying with a bunch of money is a complete waste of time, not a waste of time, it’s just dumb,” The YouTuber explained. “I enjoy helping people and so if I am going to spend my whole life just making money because it is kind of fun before I die, I literally wanna give away 100% of everything that I own.” (Topic starts at 7:38:10) MrBeast went on to explain his thought process even further, mentioning that he wants to make as much money as he can before he dies. He said: “Just, why not? Who cares? After I’m dead, I’m dead. Instead of putting a dollar amount on it, now it’s just I just want to make as much money as I can in my life and then do as much good with that money before I die.” It’s not clear how the YouTuber plans to give away all of his money, but given his history, its safe to expect his final giveaway to be one of his greatest.

MrBeast reveals TV commercial for Feastables chocolate that was refused airtime – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals TV commercial for Feastables chocolate that was refused airtime YouTube: MrBeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson tweeted out an ad he and his team had made for TV before it got knocked back by the censorship board for non-compliance. MrBeast is an international sensation. The philanthropic efforts of the creator and his crew have built up an astonishing 100million+ subscribers across multiple channels in multiple languages. A massive part of what makes Jimmy so entirely watchable is the man’s drive to always push for bigger and better things. Not content with smashing records for insane recreation of the Willy Wonka chocolate factory dominating Youtube, or his record breaking Squid Game remake. Now, catching the spotlight again, Donaldson is drawing attention to an ad for Television he created for his chocolate brand ‘Feastables‘. Revealing to Twitter that the ad was rejected for airtime due to ‘non-compliance.’ I tried to run this as a national tv commercial but apparently it’s “non compliant” lol pic.twitter.com/W0zCLpUngW — MrBeast (@MrBeast) June 6, 2022 Non-compliance is a term used by the FCC for a catch-all for anything that breaks their extensive rules about what is able to be shown on Broadcast TV. Within the ad Donaldson directly starts with a close up of a Hershey bar before declaring that “honestly, it doesn’t taste that great.” This level of firing at another company making the exact product you’re trying to sell, while working excellently for generating buzz, is what appears to be the reason for the FCC’s rejection of the ad. As pointed out by fellow ‘giveaway’ content creator MrHumanity, “you used a major companies product & logo” while stipulating “Even major brands don’t do that in their own commercials.” You used a major companies product & logo, then gave it a poor review & redirected the viewer to buy yours. Even major brands don’t that in their own commercials. @herbriede — MrHumanity (@MrHumanityGives) June 6, 2022 In a follow-up tweet, MrBeast doubled down by disparaging TV advertising as a medium. Saying he thinks “tv commercials suck. Just wanted to compare how bad commercials were for sales lol“. In the final moments of the ad, Donaldson also posted a fake ‘fineprint’ with statemetns like “Why are you reading this?” and “All of this is fake”. Whether or not he’ll go back to the drawing board for a TV friendly ad remains to be seen, but it seems unlikely that MrBeast will let this hiccup stop him.

MrBeast reveals unexpected song collab with BTS and Snoop Dogg – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals unexpected song collab with BTS and Snoop Dogg INSTAGRAM: MRBEAST/TIKTOK:MRBEASTYouTuber MrBeast shared his musical debut on TikTok in a hilarious collaboration with BTS and Snoop Dogg. MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, recently hit 100 million subscribers on YouTube. He celebrated the milestone by giving away an entire private island, in true MrBeast spirit. However, it seems that his momentous achievement on YouTube is not enough, as he’s decided that it’s time to launch his music career. Recently, Korean supergroup BTS collaborated with music producer Benny Blanco, and Snoop Dogg for their song ‘Bad Decisions,’ which came out on Friday. What many people didn’t know, is that MrBeast had a small part in it. The YouTuber posted a hilarious video on TikTok, where he shared his dream of releasing a number 1 hit song. But as he has “no musical talent,” he called up Benny Blanco, who asked MrBeast to play a single note that he will add to the new song. After pressing a single key, the note was added, and MrBeast’s name made it to the song credits. He ended the video by saying “Mom I made it.” TikTok react to Mr Beast’s song collab The video, captioned “Help us get to number 1 on the charts,” quickly went viral with over 6.4 million views. As the new summer bop ‘Bad Decisions’ was playing throughout the clip, thousands of BTS and MrBeast fans flocked to the comment section. “The club gonna go wild when they hear that one key,” one fan commented. “Everyone is going to be like ‘Mr Beast carried the song,” someone joked, to which MrBeast replied “I did.” “Thank you for helping more people listen to this song,” a fan added, grateful for the song promotion. “You need the platinum plaque,” someone else wrote. It seems that MrBeast’s dream of releasing a number 1 hit has already come true, as ‘Bad Decisions’ has smashed iTunes charts globally, reaching number 1 in at least 74 different countries.

MrBeast reveals superfans use Discord to track his location – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals superfans use Discord to track his location YouTube: FLAGRANTMrBeast opened up recently about the crazier side of his fandom. Recounting a story where he discovered there’s a Discord server dedicated to tracking his movements. Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is one of the world’s most recognizable online personalities. The content creator rose from his humble “Let’s Play” beginnings to prominence thanks to his charitable endeavors. Today his channel boasts more than 230 million subscribers. And with a potential $100 million dollar deal with Prime Video potentially closing soon, MrBeast only seems to be getting bigger. But the YouTube personality recently opened up about one of the scarier sides of his fame. During a recent episode of the How to Take Over The World podcast, Donaldson recounted a story about discovering just how committed some of his fans are to tracking him down. “I have this five-minute rule,” he says going on to explain if he takes a photo with a fan, he has to leave the area within the next five minutes. “Because they’ll post on Snapchat or Instagram, and then all of their friends come, and it gets crazy.” Donaldson then recounted a story about a time he was at a Target and agreed to a photo with a fan shortly after arriving at the store. Although he was only stopping briefly to buy a toothbrush, by the time he was leaving, another fan approached him. “A kid just runs in the front door and he’s like, it’s real!” He explained. When Donaldson asked what the fan meant by that comment, their reply was enlightening. “There’s a Discord that tracks your location and I thought it was fake, but it said you were here.” Donaldson explained. He asked the fan to show him the Discord in question. Sure enough, any time someone tagged him in a social media post, a bot in the Discord would post it. Fans would then use the photos, working together to discern his location. “That stuff that doesn’t happen when you have ten million subscribers.” He said, explaining it was only once a personality reached “100 million or whatever” that the stakes changed so dramatically. Although he also recognized that level of scrutiny was intense, he also admitted there are bigger stars who deal with a lot more time in the public eye. “Taylor Swift is obviously a different level to me, whatever I experience, she’s probably experiencing it five times crazier.”

MrBeast reveals TikTok Creator Fund earnings as platform is slammed for monetization – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals TikTok Creator Fund earnings as platform is slammed for monetization Instagram: mrbeast / TikTokMrBeast has revealed his income from TikTok’s Creator Fund amid a wave of criticism concerning the app’s payouts to creators. People often wonder what it would take to make a full-time living as an influencer, or even just the value of one viral video. One person who would be especially familiar with this is the internet superstar MrBeast, who has racked up billions of views on his videos across multiple platforms, including TikTok. However, even with this impressive view count, that star’s earnings from TikTok’s Creator Fund may shock you. MrBeast reveals earnings from TikTok Creator Fund MrBeast, for those who already don’t know him, is an extremely popular content creator with over 88 million YouTube subscribers and 32.5 million followers on TikTok. He creates hilarious content, sometimes going incredibly far to make impressive dreams come to life (as seen with his Squid Game recreation, for example). But how much does the creator take home from his impressive videos? The answer, at least from TikTok, may be much lower than you would expect. In a January 21 tweet responding to another creator’s earnings post, MrBeast revealed that he’s only made $14,910.92 from TikTok’s Creator Fund, with his account likely having “over a billion views,” according to MrBeast. Here’s mine, I’m 2 lazy to count the views on my tik toks but it’s prob over a billion views pic.twitter.com/D8cSrBdXsZ — MrBeast (@MrBeast) January 21, 2022 This comes amid ongoing pressure from creators for TikTok to increase their revenue sharing, as MrBeast isn’t the only one taking home a lackluster payday. Much of this was started by Hank Green, who posted a YouTube video slamming the app on January 20 that already has over 150,000 views. This pressure makes sense when you look at a creator like MrBeast, who isn’t even earning a standard full-time wage off of one of the app’s most successful accounts. It’s unclear yet if TikTok will make any adjustments to their platform’s payout structure. If they choose not to, it’s likely only a matter of time before more creators start demanding more for their work.

MrBeast reveals reason why MrBeast Burger doesn’t have healthy options – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals reason why MrBeast Burger doesn’t have healthy options YouTube: FULL SEND PODCASTYouTube star MrBeast explained why his burger chain, MrBeast Burger, doesn’t tout many ‘healthy’ options after he was asked about the influence of his restaurant on his young fans. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is more than a top-tier YouTuber. The 24-year-old internet star also started his very own restaurant, MrBeast Burger, on top of his ‘Feastables’ chocolate bar line and a local philanthropy project. MrBeast Burger has been a smashing success for Donaldson. The fast food chain, which he opened in 2020, has since accrued over $100 million in revenue on top of breaking records by selling the most burgers in a single day after opening a physical location in New Jersey. However, MrBeast Burger isn’t known for being a health-conscious choice; the menu boasts items like cheeseburgers with two smashed beef patties, cheesy quesadillas, and seasoned fries. Donaldson was asked about this particular facet of his company during a podcast with the NELK Boys and bodybuilder-influencer Bradley Martyn, who wanted to know how the YouTuber felt about selling burgers and chocolate when he has an impressionable audience. MrBeast claims healthy items saw low sales at MrBeast Burger According to MrBeast, he’d actually tried selling a lettuce wrap at some point in the past, but the sales were simply too low to justify creating healthier options for buyers. “It was literally less than one percent of our sales,” he explained. “No one gave a f**k. …that is the problem. If you go too healthy, then just not a person on the planet f**king buys it.” “So, with Feastables — take Hershey’s, for example. There’s ten ingredients. Super processed. Our Feastables bars are five ingredients and all the ingredients are super high quality. It’s the perfect middle ground where I could take it a little more extreme, but then I just guarantee you no one would f**king buy it.” The YouTuber went on to reveal his plans for a chocolate bar that’s a mix of Kind and CLIFF bars, but says that “if only 100 people buy it, then it’s not really accomplishing anything other than virtue signaling.” Donaldson is aware of his food’s content and hopes to “wean” his buyers off Hershey’s bars, saying he doesn’t “wanna just kill people by giving them super processed s**t.” (Topic begins at 14:54) Donaldson’s latest comments follow his appearance on the FLAGRANT podcast, where he recounted his surprising meeting with A-List actor Leonardo DiCaprio and teased his future plans for a Netflix show.

MrBeast reveals robber stole “everything” from him at beginning of YouTube career – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals robber stole “everything” from him at beginning of YouTube career Instagram: MrBeastYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has revealed that he was robbed of everything in his home at the beginning of his career – and was even allegedly stalked the night before the theft. With almost 10 million subscribers on YouTube, it’s evident that MrBeast is one of the most famous people on the internet. He’s known for high-quality (and big budget) viral videos, such as his recreation of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory and Netflix’s hit Korean thriller series, Squid Game. During a recent episode of The Yard Podcast, the YouTuber revealed he was robbed of everything he owned nearly half a decade ago – well before his current success on YouTube. MrBeast was robbed of the blanket off his bed That’s not all; MrBeast even claims he was stalked the night before after someone purportedly shone a “red light” on his front door, convincing the social media star that he was in very real mortal danger by someone scoping him out. “I don’t think I’ve ever told this story publicly,” he began. “I came home at like 3 AM, super late after a video. I’m walking into my sh*tty little house and I just see a red dot on my door. I turned around and didn’t see anyone, so I went inside and for the next five hours, open and closed my blinds [to see if anyone was there]. “The next day, I left my house, and the second I left, everything was stolen. I feel like someone was stalking me.” (Topic starts at 18:36 in the video) Jimmy went on to explain that this happened when he had about one million subscribers on YouTube (about 4.5 years ago), but the person that robbed him allegedly had no idea who he was. With nearly 10 million subs and the title of one of the most popular people on the internet, he made it clear that nowadays he has cameras and proper security so nothing like this happens again in the future. Though he did have to say no to a gifted Tesla in 2020 for the fear that “stalkers” would follow him around.

MrBeast reveals plans to sell Feastables worldwide “ASAP” amid huge Walmart success – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals plans to sell Feastables worldwide “ASAP” amid huge Walmart success Instagram: MrBeastMrBeast has revealed plans to sell Feastables worldwide “asap,” as he continues to grow the company throughout the US. In January 2022, MrBeast launched Feastables, his very own chocolate company. Quickly integrating it with his videos, he gave customers the ability to compete to win a life-size chocolate factory among other prizes. Feastables took the next step just nine months later as fans began seeing the product in their local Walmart stores alongside a new plant-based cookie option. MrBeast revealed on December 13 that Feastables has officially made its way to every Walmart in America, and has revealed new plans to sell Feastables worldwide. MrBeast reveals plans to expand Feastables amid Walmart success In a tweet, MrBeast revealed that his number one goal with Feastables now is to expand the product to everyone outside of America as soon as possible. “My #1 goal is to expand to everyone outside America asap,” he said. It’s unknown when he’ll accomplish that feat, lets’s just hope it’s not as hard to find as Logan Paul and KSI’s Prime Hydration. MrBeast also mentioned that they are selling “a couple hundred thousand” bars every single week since they launched inside Walmart throughout the US. “Feastables is now in stock in every Walmart across America!! We’ve been selling a couple hundred thousand bars a week so it’s been hard to keep shelves stocked but we should be good now,” he said. The YouTuber is so confident that his product is in every store across America, that he even offered a fan $1,000 if he couldn’t find it. Just guessing with a round number of 200,000 Feastables bars sold a week, that means MrBeast is roughly selling 800,000 a month, which we can safely say is pretty good for a remotely new product.

MrBeast reveals “giga brain” reason why he hasn’t been posting YouTube videos – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals “giga brain” reason why he hasn’t been posting YouTube videos Twitter: MrBeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson’s YouTube video uploads have been few and far between lately, and he revealed the “giga brain” reason why — he’s working on two massive new projects. MrBeast’s YouTube channel is one of the most subscribed on the platform. He crept into the top five after surpassing 90 million subscribers, and his content is among the most creative and innovative on the list. Not only does he have the formula for success on the platform down to a science, but he also pumps out videos in quick succession. In 2021, he posted 27 videos on his main channel, averaging around two per month. However, things have been a little slower in 2022. Five months into the year, he’s only posted three. There’s a reason why — he’s working on two massive projects that could rival his $3.5 million Squid Game video. Initially, MrBeast only intended to reveal a sneak peek of an upcoming project. “We’re in the early stages of recreating Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory (this photo is like 10% of it),” he said. “Why didn’t someone tell me this would be so hard?” It’s still a work in progress. However, the picture reveals what looks exactly like a scene from the iconic movie. At this stage, it has grass, rocks, lollipops, and a bridge but will soon have a lot more, including a chocolate river. We’re in the early stages of recreating Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory (this photo is like 10% of it) why didn’t someone tell me this would be so hard 😂 pic.twitter.com/jJbcgykKtM — MrBeast (@MrBeast) May 7, 2022 That’s not all, though. He revealed another ambitious project that he’s working on at the same time. “While building this, we also have to terraform an island,” he said. “I’m giving away an island for $100 million.” However, large islands aren’t cheap. They cost around $20 million. So, to mitigate production costs, he bought an “ugly big island” instead and has been terraforming it by importing trees, sand, and more to make it look more picturesque. These two projects have taken up a lot of his time. That’s why video production has slowed down. “Please excuse the lack of videos. My giga brain thought it’d be a good idea to do two Squid Game level videos at the same time.” So plz excuse the lack of videos, my giga brain thought it’d be a good idea to do 2 squid game level videos at the same time 💀 — MrBeast (@MrBeast) May 7, 2022 So, it seems like MrBeast has decided to trade off quantity for quality, and it’s paying off. His YouTube stats are on the rise, and once these following two projects drop, there’s a good chance they’ll rise even more. However, given their size and scale, it might be a while before we see them on YouTube, especially considering how long production can take.

MrBeast reveals one YouTube feature he “hates with a passion” – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals one YouTube feature he “hates with a passion” YouTube: Lex FridmanAlthough YouTube sensation MrBeast is mostly “happy” with the state of the video-sharing platform today, he hopes to see one particular weakness fixed soon as he absolutely “hates” the comments section in its current form. When MrBeast uploads any new content across his broad range of YouTube channels, thousands of viewers immediately flood the comments section. Regardless of whether it’s a gaming video, something the team has reacted to, or one of his innovative main-channel ideas, he claims comments across the board are all similarly poor. It’s for this reason, as the fourth-most subscribed star on the platform, that MrBeast simply “hates the comment section with a passion. It’s just so bad,” he said in conversation with Lex Fridman. While admitting a revamped comment system won’t lead to drastic growth on YouTube, he claimed it’s the one main feature he’d like to see overhauled above all else. Comparing it to the experience on Reddit, he argued the average thread over there leads to a far more productive discussion. “Reddit is so nice to click on posts and see what people have to say. I almost wish you had that same feeling when you read the comments on a YouTube video. Instead, it’s so many people copy and pasting, so many bots grab the top comment from your previous video and paste it over, so the top comments on every video are the same.” When it comes to genuine comments from actual fans wanting to engage in a meaningful way, those posts are few and far between, he argued. Rather, it’s the aforementioned spam that dominates most of his videos, with only ‘scams’ rising to the surface. MrBeast discusses YouTube’s comment section at the 13:08 mark below. “The only things that breakthrough are just scammers trying to get you to give them $1,000, or a fake ad,” he explained. It’s seemingly so bad on YouTube today that MrBeast often doesn’t bother wading through the comments on his videos. Instead, he’d rather spend time looking at reactions across other social media platforms as the comments are typically more helpful. “I usually go to Twitter when I upload a video,” MrBeast continued. “Reddit and Twitter just give me better filtered feedback, especially now with Twitter Blue. I live for the day that YouTube’s like that.”

MrBeast reveals the one thing he loves about YouTube rival PewDiePie – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals the one thing he loves about YouTube rival PewDiePie YouTube: PewDiePie / MrBeastIn an exclusive interview with Logan Paul, Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson revealed the one thing he loves about Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, who is arguably his biggest rival on YouTube. MrBeast and PewDiePie have a lot in common. They both produce amazing content that resonates with the gaming and streaming community, and they’re both in the top 20 most subscribed channels on YouTube. PewDiePie currently has 110 million subscribers on his channel, 42 million more than what MrBeast has on his main channel. However, his YouTube empire spans multiple channels with a total of 113 million subscribers, and it’s growing by the minute. Despite arguably being each other’s biggest rivals on YouTube, MrBeast told Logan Paul that he enjoys watching PewDiePie’s content and revealed the one thing he loves about him the most: his humbleness. After MrBeast told Logan how motivated he is to keep producing YouTube content and growing his channels; the topic came up. Logan joked that PewDiePie would be “shaking in his boots” after hearing him say that. However, MrBeast had nothing but kind words to say about him. “Anyone else in his position would be so arrogant, and it would go to their head,” he said. “I appreciate that he’s humble and not trashing on people.” Read More: MrBeast has viral videos “down to a science” – “If someone criticizes him, his initial response isn’t ‘hey, f**k you, I have ten times your subscribers,’ and I love that about him.” It’s not the first time MrBeast has spoken fondly of his rival. In 2020, he explained why he admires him more than other YouTubers. PewDiePie also complimented MrBeast for “pushing boundaries on YouTube that no one even knew there was.” So, the respect is mutual. And hopefully, in time, we might even see them collaborate together.

MrBeast reveals more details for upcoming, “big” PewDiePie video – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals more details for upcoming, “big” PewDiePie video Popular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson teased that he has “something big planned” for PewDiePie’s next subscriber milestone – and has since revealed a concrete date for the project’s release. MrBeast announced this development in a Tweet on November 22, claiming that he will upload PewDiePie’s video on Saturday, November 24, after uploading a follow-up video to his most recent project on November 23. “You nine-year-olds are so impatient,” the YouTuber wrote in response to a Tweet criticising his schedule. “I have another video dropping tomorrow, and then the video after that is the Pewdiepie one. Good things take time.” You 9 year olds are so impatient. I have another video dropping tomorrow and then the video after that is the Pewdiepie one. Good things take time. https://t.co/rjkkvOu7DH — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) November 22, 2018 The race between PewDiePie and Bollywood label T-Series is quickly coming to a head; the two channels are barely 100,000 subscribers apart as of November 22, and fans are calling for MrBeast to work his magic once more. MrBeast’s previous city-wide ad campaign incited a major influx of subscribers to PewDiePie’s channel, which was nearly defeated by its Bollywood nemesis in late October of 2018. However, thanks to MrBeast’s efforts, the ‘king’ of YouTube gained a whopping 36,000 subs just an hour after the campaign went live, and has been soaring above T-Series ever since – until now. While MrBeast has yet to make any major statements as to exactly what his upcoming video will entail, fans can expect “something big,” as teased by his previous Tweet on November 16. PewDiePie has likewise called on MrBeast for aid, asking for “one more last, final push” in an episode of ‘LIWAY’ on November 21.

MrBeast reveals next channel expansion as YouTube domination continues YouTube: Mr BeastYouTube star MrBeast has teased even further expansion into alternate language channels after already launching channels in both Spanish and Russian. MrBeast has completely taken over YouTube with his massive scale videos, becoming known for giving away insane amounts of money and hosting crazy competitions. Despite reaching over 92 million subscribers on his main channel, and nearly 200 million combined subs throughout his multiple channels, he’s not done expanding yet. In an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, the podcast host was shocked to find that the YouTube star has a plan to continue his expansion into foreign language channels, of which he’s already launched for Russian and Spanish. Now, Mr Beast has teased what language is up next. MrBeast teases Hindi YouTube channel The 23-year-old YouTuber teased his next channel launch via a Twitter reply to a popular Indian content creator. YouTuber Maxtern was shocked to find that MrBeast’s videos can be watched in a multitude of languages, including Hindi. “Damn, I just watched a MrBeast video in the language Hindi. Seriously, this guy always amazes us.” MrBeast replied, “Just wait for the Hindi channel to start uploading.” Although he didn’t give an exact date for the launch, we can expect for MrBeast to release not only a MrBeast Hindi for his main channel, but translations of his alternate channels like MrBeast Gaming and MrBeast Reacts.

MrBeast reveals mind-blowing stats after counseling small YouTuber IG: @MrBeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson revealed the mindblowing stats behind a small YouTuber’s increase in viewership and revenue after he helped counsel them with his knowledge and experience. MrBeast is the fifth-most subscribed YouTuber on the platform, with a whopping 90 million subscribers on his channel, and there’s a reason behind his success. He claimed he has it “down to a science,” and he’s not alone. Ludwig Ahgren also believes it’s a skill, and he made a secret YouTube channel to prove it. However, MrBeast just went a step further and helped another YouTuber significantly increase their viewership and revenue in a single month. “I started counseling a small YouTuber for fun, and here is a monthly before and after [breakdown] of their channel,” MrBeast revealed on February 22. When asked if it was with the same volume of videos, he said: “Around the same. Just much higher quality.” The charts show the monthly traffic of the YouTuber he helped increased from 4.6 million views to 45 million views. Similarly, the estimated revenue increased from $24,000 to a whopping $400,000.

Some argued that a YouTuber who draws 4.6 million views and makes $24,000 a month isn’t small and would be considered fairly established creator already. Still, that didn’t stop many others from praising him for pulling off such an unprecedented feat. After all, he did increase the YouTuber’s viewership by ten times the amount and estimated revenue by 16 times the amount.

MrBeast reveals major Hans Zimmer collaboration for latest video – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals major Hans Zimmer collaboration for latest video MrBeastMrBeast worked with award-winning composer Hans Zimmer, with a soundtrack being made exclusively for the biggest YouTuber’s latest video. Ever since MrBeast overtook PewDiePie as the most subscribed YouTuber on the platform, he’s been upping the ante with every video. This has earned the content creator various records on YouTube, and records that he’s still breaking years into his time on the platform. He spends exorbitant amounts of money on putting together the biggest, most eye-catching stunts and concepts to capture his audience, with production quality that rivals that of Hollywood-backed film crews. MrBeast is doing everything he can to close that gap and revealed that composer Hans Zimmer made an original soundtrack for his latest YouTube video MrBeast and some other content creators travel to Antarctica. MrBeast works with Hans Zimmer on YouTube video For those unfamiliar, Hans Zimmer has a massive and award-winning portfolio of work as a composer. He mainly works on movies, with his recent projects including original compositions for Dune (2021) and Top Gun: Maverick (2022). He’s also made music that’s had a life beyond the movie it was made for like his work on Interstellar, as well as his work on the Pirates of the Caribbean series. His latest work wasn’t on a big blockbuster movie, but rather, a big blockbuster YouTube video from MrBeast. MrBeast’s latest adventure brought him to Antarctica, where he challenged himself and a crew of his friends to survive for 50 hours in the coldest place on the planet. He and his friends got up to all sorts of shenanigans, including digging a massive tunnel and climbing a mountain. Over the past few videos, MrBeast has spent millions of dollars between renting out private islands, strapping jet engines to cars, and now flying him and several others to Antarctica and back. It’s no surprise that he’s upping his production quality and attaching some big names to his videos.

MrBeast reveals shocking insight into YouTube ad revenue made on latest high-budget video – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals shocking insight into YouTube ad revenue made on latest high-budget video Twitter: MrBeast / YouTube: MrBeastMrBeast has revealed he seemingly lost millions on his latest high-budget video, sharing insight into the ad revenue he makes on YouTube. MrBeast is known for going all-out when it comes to his YouTube channel, often having a budget in the millions just for a single video. Now the philanthropist and popular internet celebrity has shared with Twitter subscribers some insight into the ad revenue he makes back on YouTube. And the numbers may just surprise you, with the YouTuber revealing he made just $167,000 on his latest high-budget video that cost $3 million to produce. Muaaz, who goes by ‘mws’ on Twitter, makes daily posts about YouTube and Content Creation. Recently they tweeted a screenshot MrBeast shared with his Twitter subscribers, revealing that the YouTuber made $167,000 off of a $3 million video. “If you’re a creator, you should [definitely] tap in,” Muaaz tweeted, encouraging content creators to support one another and watch MrBeast’s video. Titled Train Vs Giant Pit, the video showed multiple explosive “experiments” including setting off 100,000 fireworks inside a house and crashing a train full speed into a gigantic pit. MrBeast, who allowed the information to be shared, was seemingly supportive and responded with, “If you’re a YouTuber and not subbed on Twitter, that’s an L.” He previously spoke on the Colin and Samir podcast about the pressure of constantly pushing himself to improve his content and make bigger sets. “The problem is I always push the videos to be better and so in a world where I’m like ‘alright, the is the level where it’s good’ then it would be fine,” MrBeast said. “It’s like, well now I want bigger sets… now I want Squid Games every video. My teams like ‘Look, bro, we can’t’. We can’t spend $4 million for every video.” While the return on YouTube obviously doesn’t turn a profit for MrBeast, it’s worth keeping in mind potential income from sponsors. Partners promoted in the middle of MrBeast videos are certainly paying a pretty penny for the eyeballs on their brand or products. Though whether this is enough to offset production costs, is unclear for now. For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.

MrBeast reveals insane cost of highly-anticipated Squid Game video – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals insane cost of highly-anticipated Squid Game video YT: Mr Beast / NetflixYouTube philanthropist and content creator Jimmy ‘Mr Beast’ Donaldson has revealed the eye-watering cost of his real-life Squid Game recreation, even showing fans some more behind-the-scenes footage of it all coming together. Since the South Korean dystopian TV show Squid Game debuted back in the middle of September on Netflix, fans across the world have become enthralled with the series. The dark vision of the future is from Hwang Dong-hyuk and, minus the violent moments of retribution, plenty of admirers are seeking to recreate them in real life. Arguably the most prominent example is Mr Beast, who has promised his 74 million subscribers a Squid Game recreation the likes of which many would consider unfathomable. Back on November 7, Mr Beast revealed that the cost of the recreation had already exceeded his expectations, but joked that he was “too deep” to call the project off. He then provided fans with another update on November 13, this time in the form of a TikTok showing his recreation of every mini-game from the show. Fans were impressed with the accuracy and dedication on display, and some enquired as to how much it had cost the 23 year old. Rather surprisingly, he responded, putting the total figure at around $3.5 million. “Around 2 mil to build and produce and 1.5 mil in prizes,” he said. The total cost puts it as the YouTuber’s most expensive video to date – a difficult title to come by. He has made his name on YouTube with ambitious and expensive projects. Arguably the most notable recently saw him pledge to raise $30 million to clean up the world’s oceans, with each dollar donated going towards removing 1lb of trash from the seas. As of the time of writing, over 15 million lbs of trash are set to be removed from the ocean. His Squid Game project might just be his most anticipated, though.

He’s already done everything from buying out five retail stores and giving all the goods away, to buying a fan a new house. If you thought he’d be slowing down in 2021, you’d be wrong. MrBeast has announced he would donate ten cents to charity for every new subscriber he gets in 2021 to people who genuinely need it. “For the entire year of 2021, every time someone subscribes to this channel, I’m donating 10 cents to charity. “Last month, 3 million people subscribed to the channel, which means I’m going to give away this $300,000 mountain of money to people in need.” For the rest of the video, he donated $30,000 to a struggling small business owner, $300,000 to cover everyone’s rent in two apartment complexes, $10,000 to a teacher in charge of a high-school class, and even provided a PS5 and Macbook to every student in her class.

All of this is possible because of his new philanthropic goal in 2021. “By literally hitting that subscribe button, you are taking 10 cents out of my pocket and giving it to people like we had in the video.” “If you’re already subscribed, don’t unsubscribe and resubscribe. That will do nothing. It will only work if you’re a new subscriber. I dare you guys to try to bankrupt me by subscribing.” MrBeast’s philanthropy is already out of this world. However, he keeps finding ways to take it to new levels, and his latest announcement is a testament to that. So, if you want to help others but don’t have a lot of money to spend, why not subscribe to his channel and let him use his instead? That way, everybody wins.

MrBeast reveals insane ad revenue earned from Twitter/X video – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals insane ad revenue earned from Twitter/X video Instagram: mrbeast / Unsplash.com: Elena MozhviloMrBeast revealed the eye-popping amount of money he made from his first-ever full-length video posted to Twitter/X, but says this isn’t likely to be the case for everyone else. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is the single most-subscribed independent creator on YouTube — and it’s not hard to see why. He’s broken multiple records on the platform thanks to his big-budget projects and jaw-dropping giveaways, like the time he recreated Netflix’s hit show ‘Squid Game’ to the tune of 564M views and gave away a private island to celebrate reaching 100 million subscribers. In January 2024, MrBeast decided to upload a full-length video to Twitter/X to test out the platform’s ad revenue against YouTube… and the results were nothing short of gobsmacking. MrBeast nets over $250K on first video posted to Twitter/X Elon Musk has made major changes to Twitter/X as of late, one of which allows users to monetize their posts. Never one to miss an opportunity, MrBeast decided to try out the feature for himself to see how much he could make. It’s safe to say that the results left fans’ jaws on the floor. One week after posting the video to X, MrBeast shared how much money he’d made from his experiment — a whopping $263,655. However, MrBeast made sure to clarify that most other creators likely won’t see these kinds of numbers with their content on the site, calling his own success a “facade.” “MY FIRST X VIDEO MADE OVER $250,000!” he wrote. “But it’s a bit of a facade. Advertisers saw the attention it was getting and bought ads on my video (I think), and thus my revenue per view is probably higher than what you’d experience.” In celebration of his experiment, MrBeast has decided to spread the wealth and is giving away $25,000 to ten people using the $250K he netted from his viral video, effectively giving the entire amount away to his fans. This latest news follows accusations that the YouTuber’s video was being promoted as an “undisclosed ad” as a slew of users began seeing the video pop up on their timelines, with some saying they kept seeing the video every time they opened the app. For now, MrBeast has yet to address these claims, but had an explanation as to why he came away with such a hefty payday for his first-ever video on the platform.

MrBeast reveals how Gordon Ramsay made him fail ‘hardest’ challenge yet YouTube: MrBeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson failed one of his hardest challenges yet, as Gordon Ramsay foiled his plans. Popular YouTuber MrBeast has set himself some incredibly ambitious challenges throughout his career. Who can forget his IRL Squid Game video or his Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory recreation? Now, making sure to have adequate medical supervision at all times, he attempted to go on a 30-day fasting challenge. However, MrBeast just couldn’t hold out any longer after Gordon Ramsay cooked him a breakfast sandwich during filming. Gordon Ramsay makes MrBeast break fasting challenge On July 2, MrBeast posted his latest YouTube video ‘I Didn’t Eat For 30 Days’ in which he tested how long he could go on for without letting food touch his lips. However, it was thanks to Chef Ramsay that MrBeast ultimately failed the challenge as he couldn’t say no to taking a bite from a breakfast treat that he had cooked up while the pair were filming together for MrBeast’s Willy Wonka recreation. At first, MrBeast managed to hold his own against Ramsay’s various appeals to try his food. However, as he placed the delicious dish into his hands, MrBeast decided to “break the fast.” (Topic starts at 11:00 in the video) MrBeast reached an unbelievable 14 days without eating any food despite various attempts by his friends to make him give in. However, there was a particular reason why he wanted to take the challenge. He explained: “I have Crohn’s disease (basically my gut has tons of inflammation) and I wanted to give it a break from food to see if that would help reduce inflammation because Crohn’s sucks. I learned a lot about how I can use fasting to reduce my inflammation and I’m glad I did this challenge.” Although he was pleased with the decision, MrBeast also urged his viewers not to “try this at home” without the medical supervision that he had during the process.

MrBeast reveals how much he could have made on GameStop stock instead of buying out a store Instagram: mrbeastYouTube sensation Jimmy ‘Mr Beast’ Donaldson has revealed the staggering amount of money he could have made, if he decided to invest the money he spent on buying a GameStop store into GameStop stock. Ever since his YouTube channel took off like it had a rocket strapped to its back, MrBeast has become well renowned for his incredible generosity. He’ll give away houses to fans for their creativity in Minecraft, and even offer up $1,000,000 to whoever can hold on to it longest. In one of his most recent giveaways, the YouTube star bought out five different stores of their stock – including a grocery store, a clothes store, and a GameStop. All in all, he spent a pretty penny. However, given the recent phenomenon around GameStop stock, the YouTuber reflected on how much he could have made if he invested. On January 29, MrBeast poked fun at the situation with GameStop stock, posting an image of himself and his team after they had bought out the store’s stock. Read More: What is Dogecoin? – “Wait a minute, you guys are buying GameStop stock? I thought I was supposed to buy an actual GameStop… Whoops,” he tweeted, with plenty of fans getting in on the joke.

A handful of investors tried to get him to invest in $GME, but other stocks received more responses and a bit more love. There’s been plenty of speculation about how he makes his money, given that he recently pointed out how much he’d lost on a recently canceled video. We did the maths here to work out how MrBeast has so much cash to play with. Given what’s happened here, he might get a bit savvier with his investments, but the charity will continue regardless.

MrBeast reveals how close he was to being on OceanGate Titanic sub YouTube: TMG StudiosYouTube star MrBeast has revealed he was offered the chance to explore the wreckage of the Titanic in the OceanGate Titan submarine that suffered a “catastrophic implosion”. Attempting to explore the wreckage of the Titanic, the OceanGate Titan submarine went missing on June 18 after losing communications during its descent to the bottom of the ocean bed. After several days of searching for the missing vessel and its five passengers, the US Coast Guard announced on June 22 that the submarine suffered a “catastrophic implosion” — instantly killing all passengers on board. Now, just three days after the catastrophic event, YouTube star MrBeast has revealed he was given the opportunity to ride the Titanic submarine. MrBeast was offered to explore Titanic in OceanGate Titan In a tweet on June 25, the 25-year-old revealed to his fans he was offered to go on an endeavor in the OceanGate Titan earlier in June, but ultimately turned down the opportunity. “I was invited earlier this month to ride the titanic submarine, I said no,” he wrote. “Kind of scary that I could have been on it.” The YouTuber also showed a screenshot of a text, although unclear who to, which read, “Also, I’m going to the Titanic in a submarine late this month. The team would be stoked to have you along.” MrBeast certainly isn’t afraid of going to extremes and putting his life on the line all in the name of content. In late 2022, the YouTuber, along with several of his friends, traveled to the bottom of the world in an attempt to survive for 50 hours in Antarctica. That said, he seems to be feeling fortunate that he didn’t take the plunge this time around and go for a dive with the OceanGate team. Another YouTuber by the name of DALLMYD took the company up on their offer just a few weeks before disaster. The mission they were on, Mission 3, was called off twice and outright cancelled due to weather conditions and control issues within the sub.

The chain has created a number of limited menu items since launching, some of which have been inspired by popular content creators such as Dream and MoistCr1TiKaL. In March, they even released a Shrek-themed Quesadilla. Jimmy has previously credited the incredible success of his burger chain to the YouTube video he made about the temporary physical location of the chain they set up to promote the launch, which has now smashed 100 million views. “The whole gamble was the video,” he said. “Like, that video is about to get a hundred million views. If that flopped and got like 15 or 20 [million] then it wouldn’t be a fraction of the success.”

After a slow start on YouTube, MrBeast‘s career has skyrocketed since 2017 thanks to his explosive and money-fuelled content. Picking up over 100 million subscribers as of writing, he’s even quickly catching up to his YouTube idol Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, who currently has 111 million subs. However, MrBeast still wants to go even bigger, setting his sights on an even more mind-blowing figure. While it might seem like an ambitious idea, he has a lot of plans lines up to help him hit the one billion mark. MrBeast reveals more YouTube channels coming soon On August 10, MrBeast posted a series of tweets sharing his delight at just how far his YouTube career has come since he started back in 2012. When asked whether he believes he’ll “always be the face” of his channel, MrBeast replied: “Of course, I want to be the first person to get a billion followers.” He revealed that one of the ways he plans to get there is by adding a “couple more” languages to his content sometime in the month of August 2022. With his videos already helping him pull in the views by being produced in numerous languages, including Arabic, French, and Spanish, fans welcomed the idea. MrBeast previously opened up to podcaster Joe Rogan about his “brilliant” business strategy. He explained that by translating and dubbing his content into other languages, he could branch out to viewers from non-English speaking countries and pull in more views. The method has evidently gone on to work out perfectly for him. In his thread of tweets, he also revealed just how well his content has been doing around the globe. For instance, his Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory recreation picked 21 million views from Spanish-speaking fans. Becoming the first YouTuber ever hit 1 billion subscribers seems like an impossible task. Although, as MrBeast has proven time and time again, he’s not afraid to make the impossible possible.

The end tagline for the ad explains how, “to the women pushing football forward, we can’t wait to see where you take this game.” However, MrBeast has now gone on to reveal that he had originally hoped to star in a completely different ad during the event, one that is much more light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek. MrBeast reveals Deez Nuts bar ad and website On Twitter, MrBeast posted the ad just days after the Super Bowl, captioning the video, “I wanted to run this as a Super Bowl ad but 7 million dollars was a lot of [money] so you guys get it here.” The ad serves as a way to market a new bar in his Feastables chocolate range called the “Deez Nuts bar.” As well as including the video in the Twitter post, MrBeast also posted a link that then takes viewers to a whole website dedicated to the special nut bar.

MrBeast reveals he has “mental breakdowns” as he’s focused on making YouTube videos – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals he has “mental breakdowns” as he’s focused on making YouTube videos YouTube: Colin and SamirInfluencer and YouTuber, Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson, has revealed that he has “mental breakdowns every other week” because he is so focused on making content for YouTube. MrBeast is currently the most-subscribed to individual creator on YouTube. His rise to fame was relatively fast, and he now runs multiple channels, with hundreds of millions of subscribers. To keep up with all the content, Donaldson also employs teams of people who work with him to come up with ideas, participate in the videos, and produce and edit the final videos. But, this empire of content creation is no easy feat – despite many copycats trying to do it too – so much so that MrBeast has revealed he suffers serious challenges for his mental health as a result. MrBeast suffers “mental breakdowns” from content grind In a YouTube show hosted by filmmakers Colin Rosenblum and Samir Chaudry, MrBeast talked about his approach to making content. He shared, “I don’t have a life. I don’t have a work-life balance. My personality, my soul, and my being are making the best videos possible, entertaining my fans as best as I can. That is why I exist on this planet.” However, he advised others to not follow the same approach to working as he does. “I’m miserable a lot of times. I have a mental breakdown every other week because I push myself so hard,” he said. Topic starts at [42: 30] MrBeast did not clarify what exactly he means by “mental breakdown”. However, when asked by the hosts how he recovers after overworking himself, the YouTuber said he takes “a couple of hours off, I watch some anime”. MrBeast reveals his daily work routine Donaldson also shared what his daily routine entails, which includes working out, producing YouTube videos, and building his chocolate brand, Feastables. But he also thinks that exercising takes a lot of time out of his day, so he tries to fit in calls while walking. MrBeast added that he tries to meet his daily target of walking 15,000 steps per day. Donaldson has previously talked about his work culture where he explained that there have been times when he worked for seven to eight days non-stop for making content. It is no surprise that Jimmy has garnered millions of followers on YouTube because of his hard work and dedication. He became the most followed YouTuber in November 2022, winning over Pewdiepie, who had the title for nine years.

MrBeast revealed friend was selected by Hershey’s for secret taste test vs Feastables – Dexerto
MrBeast revealed friend was selected by Hershey’s for secret taste test vs Feastables Instagram: feastablesYouTube star MrBeast revealed that one of his friends was selected by Hershey’s for a secret taste test comparison to his own Feastables chocolate bar line. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is YouTube’s single most-subscribed independent creator, boasting over 167 million subscribers on his main channel, alone. However, he’s more than a social media mogul. The influencer has also branched out into the food business, launching his ‘Beast Burger’ fast food restaurant in late 2020 (although he’s since announced he’s “moving on” from the business). He also created his own line of chocolate bars, called ‘Feastables,’ in early 2022, which aims to be a legitimate alternative to big brands like Hershey’s. It looks like there’s some significant competition brewing between the two companies, though, after MrBeast revealed that one of his friends was conscripted into a secret taste test by Hershey’s against Feastables bars. MrBeast says friend conscripted into taste test by Hershey’s against Feastables MrBeast divulged this information in a series of tweets on July 13, writing: “My friend was randomly selected by Hershey’s to be in a blind taste test, and the whole study was him trying Feastables, then Hershey’s, and rating them lol.” When a fan asked how in the world his friend managed to get the gig, MrBeast responded with a screenshot of a text message his friend had seemingly sent him. “Was in Pennsylvania on vacation, Jim,” the text reads. “Wife wanted to go see it… I’d call it op research. While inside, we got randomly picked to do a tasting test / survey.” “The survey began with, ‘What brands do you know,’ and yours was the very first one listed. It ended with ‘blind’ tasting a Hershey’s bar and a Feastables bar and answering questions about taste, quality, etc.” It looks like Hershey’s didn’t exactly ‘hand pick’ Donaldson’s friend to participate in the test, but it’s certainly interesting that the company is viewing the YouTuber’s chocolate bars as legitimate competition. While it’s unclear how Feastables measured up to Hershey’s in his friend’s taste test, renowned chef Gordon Ramsay notably tried out MrBeast’s chocolate bar brand earlier this year and found it “very good.”

MrBeast reveals biggest “regret” after sharing secret to YouTube fame – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals biggest “regret” after sharing secret to YouTube fame Instagram: MrBeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has revealed his biggest “regret” after sharing his secret to YouTube fame now that the platform is full of “MrBeast Clones.” Over the last few years, MrBeast has become the most popular YouTube creator with over 161M subscribers on the platform. Since then, he’s shared parts of his secret to success on various podcasts and interviews with other creators. However, on June 19, Jimmy revealed a major drawback to sharing his secrets to YouTube fame. MrBeast hits back at “clones” on YouTube “Sometimes I regret going on podcasts and sharing everything I know about YouTube,” he explained on social media. “I thought people would use the knowledge to innovate and be inspired but tons just copy exactly what I do and don’t change. “Kind of sad how many ‘MrBeast Clones’ there are.” Since sharing his thoughts in a tweet, MrBeast’s comment has been viewed by nearly four million people in just under an hour after posting. MrBeast has revealed in the past that he’s mentored smaller YouTube creators with quite mind-blowing success, and has shared various ideas and tips on interviews. In a reply to another user, Donaldson did make it clear that he’s okay with creators using him as inspiration for his content as long as it’s not an exact copy. He said: “That’s not stealing haha. We all get inspiration from somewhere, nothing is 100% original. Inspiration is okay!” That’s not stealing haha. We all get inspiration from somewhere, nothing is 100% original. Inspiration is okay! — MrBeast (@MrBeast) June 19, 2023 It’s unknown who exactly MrBeast is talking about in his now-viral tweet, but many have taken to the replies to share their thoughts on his comments. This statement comes just days after Jimmy shut down another YouTuber for “harassing” him.

MrBeast responds to YouTuber Morgz copying his viral video ideas – Dexerto
MrBeast responds to YouTuber Morgz copying his viral video ideas MrBeast, Morgz – YouTubeJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of YouTube’s most popular content creators, best known for giving out insane amounts of cash or orchestrating impossible challenges – but his viral videos aren’t safe from copycats. MrBeast was made aware of one such copycat channel thanks to a Tweet from Chandler Hallow, a member of his crew, who uploaded a screenshot of YouTuber ‘Morgz’s’ videos as compared to those of MrBeast. Morgz’s videos appeared to exact copies of MrBeast’s own content, containing such challenges as “I spent 24 hours in slime” and “I put 100 million orbeez in my mom’s backyard.” Hmmmm…:thinking_face:@MrBeastYT pic.twitter.com/8OpP16tCXa — Chandler Hallow (@Challow212) May 16, 2019 A quick look at Morgz’s YouTube channel shows even more apparent dupes of MrBeast’s videos, including content titled “spending 24 hours in an insane asylum” and “24 hours to escape prison.” While Chandler himself was rather dubious as to the copycat’s intentions, MrBeast had a fairly measured response to the situation. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwSufNse8VMBvQM_rCSvgQ/videos“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” he wrote of the issue, appearing to take Morgz’s stolen video ideas in stride. However, other YouTubers weren’t as nonplussed by Morgz’s videos, with the likes of FaZe co-owner Ricky Banks calling MrBeast’s response “too nice.” Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. https://t.co/vdhnoLFrO2 — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) May 16, 2019 MrBeast went on to claim that it would be “hypocritical” of him to call out Morgz for using his video ideas, claiming that he, too, gets inspiration from other YouTube channels. “True, but not everything I do is original either,” MrBeast explained. “Tons of people copy me everyday, but it would be hypocritical if I were to get mad at them.” True but not everything I do is original either. Tons of people copy me everyday but it would be hypocritical if I were to get mad at them. — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) May 16, 2019 Morgz’s channel is filled with other such eye-grabbing content, such as world record-breaking challenges or over-the-top prank videos, with wacky thumbnails to match. While Morgz has yet to officially respond to the callout, he celebrated reaching 1.5 billion video views on his channel not long after Chandler’s screenshot was posted – prompting an outpouring of criticism from fans of MrBeast. And 2/3 of the views are from stolen ideas good job pic.twitter.com/DzV40ljw9r — CJM_ (@CadenMiller2k19) May 16, 2019 Lookathisdood, stealing content and then saying that there are 3 billion people in the world lmaooo — BoyleafStudios (@BoyleafStudios) May 16, 2019 “And 2/3 of the views are from stolen ideas, good job,” one commenter wrote. “Copycat,” another replied. “Stealing MrBeast’s videos.” MrBeast, while known for his outrageous content, made waves across the internet after promoting PewDiePie in his war against T-Series in late 2018, buying out billboards across his city in an attempt to advertise the YouTube king’s channel. While MrBeast boasts over 18 million YouTube subscribers, his job isn’t all sunshine and roses; the YouTuber admitted that he had a unique predicament concerning his 2018 taxes, thanks to his generous giveaway videos, which see a major lead over his copycat competitor.

MrBeast responds to backlash that his video giving away 20,000 shoes is “not charity” – Dexerto
MrBeast responds to backlash that his video giving away 20,000 shoes is “not charity” YouTube: MrBeastYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has responded to criticism around his newest charity video, as he provides 20,000 children in South Africa with their first pair of shoes. Over the last few years, MrBeast has become the king of YouTube, pushing past the 100 million subscriber mark and dethroning PewDiePie at the backend of 2022. The YouTube star’s high-stakes challenge videos are what helped push him over the line, but he’s also been known for his charitable work too. He’s had his Team Trees and Team Seas projects, but he also helped cure 1,000 of their curable blindness in late January with his Beast Philanthropy charity. Though, that sparked backlash as critics claimed he was just doing it for views. He followed that up on March 8, with a video of him, his team, and charities providing 20,000 children with their first pair of shoes. Though, some have also criticized that in the same way. MrBeast responds to critics of his 20,000 shoes charity video Clips of the YouTuber’s newest video were shared on social media, with some viewers challenging him to help a charitable cause “without making it public/video” and claiming it wasn’t “really charity.” The latter critique sparked a response from MrBeast on March 9. No hate, you prob just haven’t seen this channel but it actually is a charity, and I obviously don’t profit from it,” the YouTuber said. “100% of all revenue from beast philanthropy goes towards running my food banks and helping ease human suffering, and since inception I’ve personally put in millions into beast philanthropy. That’s the whole point, make content around helping people to generate more money to help more people.” The YouTuber’s response has drawn plenty of praise from fans, with a number of South Africans thanking him for what he’s done as well to help their compatriots. It’s clear that his generosity isn’t going to stop anytime soon either.

MrBeast responds to bizarre criticism of his tree planting project – Dexerto
MrBeast responds to bizarre criticism of his tree planting project YouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has responded to criticism after announcing the Team Trees fundraiser on October 25 which plans to plant 20 million trees. Many of YouTube’s biggest content creators have rallied in support of MrBeast after he announced that he would be starting up a fundraiser in efforts to plant 20 million trees in a fight against climate change. Despite the overwhelming support he received for his latest project, the YouTuber still received some criticism from those highlighting that there are better ways to fight the earth’s largest problem. MrBeast responded to those critics explaining that he wasn’t expecting to singlehandedly solve the world climate issues, instead highlighting that any action should be treated as a positive. “Just to be clear we all realize 20 million trees won’t fix climate change,” the YouTuber admitted, “But at the end of the day 20 million more trees is better than 0!” He then highlighted that a lack of action across the past few years is part of the reason why climate change had gotten to such a bad state, “We want to take action because doing nothing is how we got here!” Just to be clear we all realize 20 million trees won’t fix climate change. But at the end of the day 20 million more trees is better then 0! We want to take action because doing nothing is how we got here! — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) October 27, 2019 Many expressed to MrBeast that his efforts in fighting climate change could be better focused on preserving the current rainforests as planting new trees would take years until it would have a considerable impact. “Planting trees is good but its a long term solution,” said one of his fans, linking him a video that highlighted the differences, “saving trees that are fully grown is better.” Planting trees is good but its a long term solution, saving trees that are fully grown is better. Here’s a video explaining that: https://t.co/jpx7hutfQm — Jejkobbb (@Jejkobbb) October 27, 2019 MrBeast has already received massive support from some YouTubers with other creators such as Casey Neistat onboard promoting Team Trees to help him reach his goal. As of the time of writing, the YouTube star has already raised enough money to plant over 1.5 million trees only two days after he announced the initiative.

MrBeast responds to backlash after buying homes for his staff Instagram: MrBeastMrBeast has responded to the backlash he received after revealing he’d bought a whole neighbourhood for his staff to live in. Earlier in May 2023, it was revealed that hit YouTuber MrBeast had bought a whole neighbourhood of houses in North Carolina for his staff members to live in. Since the news broke, MrBeast has received a lot of backlash regarding this, with people comparing it to a cult. One person even wrote on Twitter: “that sounds very culty lol.” One person tweeted about the news and said: “What a nice man, surely a CEO buying homes and creating neighborhoods for their employee’s families has no historical relevance or background at all.” MrBeast replied to the tweet and wrote: “Only I could get canceled for giving people a place to live with no strings attached.. All these company town tweets make no sense, I was just helping some people.” MrBeast bought a neighbourhood just for his staff The neighborhood in question is located in the southeastern suburbs of Greenville, North Carolina, close to where MrBeast grew up. The New York Post reported that the purchase had been done as a way for MrBeast’s staff to have a stress-free accommodation on his budget, while theoretically boosting productivity in reducing commute time. It will be up to each member of staff to choose if they’d like to move in. Despite the generous offer, several people have taken to social media to express their criticism, saying it sounds too much like a cult.

MrBeast responds to backlash over promoting TMNT movie during strike – Dexerto
MrBeast responds to backlash over promoting TMNT movie during strike YouTube: MrBeast/NickelodeonYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has responded to backlash over him promoting his role in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie during the SAG-AFTRA strike. Over the last few years, a number of influencers and content creators have appeared in different movies. Some have made brief, blink-and-you-’ll-miss-it cameos in box office movies, while others have starred in lower-budget stuff. In the case of MrBeast, he surprised many fans when he was credited as being ‘Times Square Guy’ in the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie. Given that it’s an animated movie, you’ve got to listen out for the YouTuber’s voice rather than seeing him in the flesh. Naturally, he’s been eager to hype up his role, but has promoted it during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, where actors and writers are campaigning for ‘fairer’ contracts around roles. Mr Beast under fire promoting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie during actor strike The YouTube superstar recently promoted the movie via Instagram, which then made waves on social media. As a result, many called him a “scab” for crossing the strike picket line given other actors aren’t permitted to promote their projects during the strike – be it on social media, in person, or other avenues. As the photo of his Instagram story promoting the new TMNT movie kept doing the rounds, MrBeast responded to some of the backlash, claiming he had an exception and could promote it. “False, this is a contract I signed pre-strike and was legally obligated to promote. This falls under the exceptions they have outlined,” he tweeted. “Regardless, to make my support clear I’ll make a donation later tonight.” However, the Instagram story was not removed and, as of writing, still has a few left on the 24-hour lifespan before it disappears. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is in cinemas now. Check out our other coverage below:

MrBeast responds as Netflix reportedly making US Squid Game – Dexerto
MrBeast responds as Netflix reportedly making US Squid Game YouTube: MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast has given his thoughts after Netflix has reportedly started working on an “American” Squid Game spin-off. In late 2021, Squid Game took over the world, with the Korean drama quickly becoming the biggest show to air on Netflix just 12 days after its release. Being so wildly popular, YouTube and TikTok creators began making their own spin-off versions of the series — where it’s fair to say MrBeast took the crown with his Squid Game recreation. Nevertheless, Netflix themselves are looking to maintain the hype for Squid Game — with the company reportedly working on an ‘American’ adaptation of the Korean thriller. Although MrBeast has quickly noted how he’s already beaten them to it. MrBeast hits back to Netflix’s “American” Squid Game As reported by Jeff Sneider on The Hot Mic podcast, Netflix is developing an American remake of Squid Game, with film director David Fincher — who’s known mostly for his work with psychological thrillers — at the top of the list for the project. However, according to YouTube star MrBeast, it’s already been done. “Isn’t that what we did?” he asked in an April 14 tweet. Of course, he’s referencing his mega-successful Squid Game recreation — which even got the approval of the show’s creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk. MrBeast’s Squid Game was published on November 24, 2021 — a little over two months after the show’s initial release. Although MrBeast was late to the trend, the wait and anticipation build-up was certainly worth it. Within just a couple of days, the video smashed YouTube records, surpassing 130 million views in its first week. The video has since gone on to become MrBeast’s most popular video yet, amassing over 400 million views thus far. The YouTube star has toyed with the idea of a second Squid Game video after Netflix’s confirmation that another season of the Korean drama is on the way.

MrBeast responds to accusations of giving away fake money – Dexerto
MrBeast responds to accusations of giving away fake money Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is known as the “Good Samaritan” of YouTube, famous for giving away vast amounts of cash in his videos. However, critics are claiming that the star is duping viewers in a significant way. MrBeast uploaded a video on November 23 in which he opened a “free bank,” where he gave out cash to citizens in need through his “loan department” without requiring them to pay him back. While the YouTuber’s charity was enough to bring two women to tears, critics pointed out a damning flaw in his project, noting that one of the dollar bills featured in the video read “Motion Picture” rather than “The United States of America” as seen on legal tender. Thus, fans across the net believed the bills to be fake, which MrBeast addressed during an interview with Drama Alert’s Daniel “KEEMSTAR” Keem on November 27. According to Donaldson, the reason he’d chosen to use fake bills was to mitigate potential safety risks for his customers, noting that giving out real cash could lead to danger for everyone involved. “Long story short, if you have hundreds of people in one location, and you’re just handing out tons of money – if you’re handing out actual, real money, there are safety and security risks,” he explained. “Imagine when I give someone $10k, and they walk out the door, and all these other people see that you have $10k. As a responsible person, I can’t do that.” Rather than sending the customers off with fake money, though, the YouTuber claimed that he gave them a check for the amount they’d agreed to once the cameras stopped rolling, admitting that the bills were merely props to prevent possible theft and bodily harm. (Timestamp: 5:36 for mobile readers) That’s not all: MrBeast admitted that the video boasted a “massive” budget, claiming that he gave out “six figures” worth of money with the project. “It’s just more security reasons,” he continued. “We can’t have six figures in actual cash there. …it’s just not responsible.” Despite the speculation, it looks like the internet’s philanthropist has avoided being “canceled” – and even managed to carry out his project responsibly, in the process.

MrBeast responds to accusations of allegedly bullying former editor MrBeast, Turner – YouTubeJimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is one of YouTube’s top content creators, known for giving out generous amounts of cash and orchestrating insane challenges for his friends – but his former editor is painting a stain on his once pristine image. Editor Matt “Turnur” Turner posted a series of Tweets in early October accusing MrBeast of bullying, claiming that the YouTube star thrashed him for simple mistakes and refused to give credit for his work. “…After every editing mistake I made, I was made to feel like an absolute idiot, even if the content wasn’t real,” Turner claimed. “No credit was given (unless a video I edited got credited to someone else).” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-nIiAUkCJ8 MrBeast responds Turner’s Tweets sparked outrage across the net, with fans and critics alike hoping for an explanation for the allegations – and now, MrBeast himself has finally spoken out on the matter. According to a reported phone call with Drama Alert’s Daniel “KEEMSTAR” Keem, MrBeast claimed that he’d given Turner a whopping $10,000 as severance – as well as another job at SoaR Gaming, as told in an October 9 video. (Timestamp: 8:42 for mobile viewers) That’s not all: a previous video of Turner’s from last year is turning heads across the net, with the editor claiming that working with MrBeast was “a blast each and every day.” Turner likewise admitted that MrBeast let him go due to his “higher aspirations,” claiming that the YouTuber had wanted an editor “for the long term” – even revealing that MrBeast had paid for the apartment he’d been living in at the time. “…They admired my work ethic, everything was good about what I did, and I really didn’t do anything wrong,” he explained. “…MrBeast paid for my rent every month when I lived in North Carolina.” At the time of writing, Turnur’s main Twitter account has apparently been hacked, with the editor using a backup account in wake of his allegations, writing, “I’m literally an innocent dude tryna live life and wanted to have an open conversation about an experience I had about my old job.” I’m literally a innocent dude tryna live life and wanted to have an open conversation about an experience I had about my old job. I dont deserve so much fucking hate man. — SoaR Turner (@SoarTurner) October 9, 2019 MrBeast has yet to speak further on the incident as of publishing this article.

MrBeast responds after surprising shoutout from Leonardo DiCaprio – Dexerto
MrBeast responds after surprising shoutout from Leonardo DiCaprio YouTube: MrBeast / Twitter / Warner Bros. PicturesYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has caught the eye of A-List actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who shouted out the influencer in an unexpected but heartwarming tweet. MrBeast is one of the internet’s most famous content creators, in no small part due to his philanthropic accomplishments. The YouTuber has given away thousands of dollars to people in need and has even founded his own charity, servicing multiple communities in his local area with a food bank directly funded by his ‘MrBeast Philanthropy’ channel. Now, MrBeast is on a roll with yet another major project — this one aiming to clean the world’s beaches. Thus far, fans have donated over $14 million to the cause, with half the funds going toward volunteer clean-ups and half toward trash-cleaning robots. MrBeast’s initiative has recruited a slew of high-profile influencers across YouTube, filling up the site’s catalogue with videos urging fans to donate and clean up beaches in their spare time. Now, it seems that none other than Leonardo DiCaprio has joined in on the buzz, shouting out Donaldson in a tweet that took the internet by surprise. Leonardo DiCaprio shouts out MrBeast on Twitter The post included a trailer for a series funded by DiCaprio’s production company, Appian Way, featuring MrBeast and his rise to internet stardom in spite of a serious health condition. MrBeast’s response to the shout out was nothing short of classic: “Wasn’t expecting a tweet from Leo today, but I’ll take it.” This marks yet another major accomplishment for the star, who recently appeared on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live alongside YouTuber and engineer Mark Rober to promote their ongoing #TeamSeas initiative. Considering Leonardo DiCaprio’s staunch passion toward environmental activism, it makes sense that he shouted out MrBeast, who, in 2019, launched his #TeamTrees project, successfully raising $20 million to plant 20 million trees by 2020. What’s next for MrBeast? Only time will tell, but if current trends are anything to go by, this YouTuber could have an even brighter future ahead of him.

MrBeast reportedly makes more than double that of any other content creator – Dexerto
MrBeast reportedly makes more than double that of any other content creator Instagram: mrbeast / Unsplash: Alexander GreyA new Forbes report has revealed that MrBeast’s staggering annual income is more than double any other digital creator. As the most-subscribed to YouTuber with over 186 million subscribers on the platform, ‘MrBeast’ is known online for his generous giveaways and philanthropy. And with cash pools often well into the hundreds of thousands, it should come as no surprise that MrBeast is raking in some big dollars himself. Now a new Forbes report has revealed all, and the numbers show this entrepreneur is more than doubling his competitor’s annual income. The Forbes 2023 Top Creators List ranks the highest-earning content creators across various social media platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch. 50 creators make the list each year with the latest report including the Paul brothers, the D’Amelio sisters, ‘Markiplier’, and ‘Amouranth’. However, it was MrBeast who took home the top spot. Between June 2022 and June 2023, Forbes estimated that the popular YouTuber made a whopping $82 million in gross earnings. This was more than double that of the next highest-earning creators, which were YouTube comedy duo ‘Rhett & Link’, gamer ‘PrestonPlayz’, and children’s YouTuber ‘Ryan’s World’. The three creators tied for second place and were estimated to have an income of approximately $35 million each. Altogether, the 50 creators combined earned approximately $700 million within the span of one year, with the top 10 highest earners as follows: MrBeast ($82 million) – Rhett & Link ($35 million) – PrestonPlayz ($35 million) – Ryan’s World ($35 million) – Jake Paul ($34 million) – Markiplier ($30 million) – FuckJerry ($30 million) – Jacksepticeye ($27 million) – Matt Rife ($25 million) – KSI ($24 million) – It certainly doesn’t look as though anyone will be taking the crown from MrBeast anytime soon.

MrBeast prank calls Dream to pitch gross video idea YouTube: MrBeast ShortsMrBeast prank called Minecraft YouTuber Dream and pitched a gross video idea involving a bunch of poop, and it grossed him out to the point where he hung up the phone. [jwplayer smynPnSq] Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is best known for doing insane giveaways. However, he’s also a prankster at heart and loves to have a good laugh. He recently branched out onto YouTube Shorts and has been uploading short videos that have the potential to go viral. And in his latest one, he pranked called Minecraft YouTuber Dream and pitched a gross video idea that drove him to hang up the phone. “I am prank calling Dream. I literally just hit call. We are calling him. Dream Official,” he said. He held the phone in front of the camera to show viewers it was ringing. “What up, Dream? I wanted to run a video idea by you, okay?” he added. “Next week, we want to go to a school, and we just want to take a bunch of poop and smear it all over every desk in the school.” “What?” replied Dream. He was confused and not enthusiastic about the idea. Meanwhile, Karl Jacobs, who was sitting in the background, cupped his hands over his face and tried to contain his laughter. “Yeah! Like, save up our poop for like a week straight,” said MrBeast. “Hear me out. Trust me. There’s a good plot twist.” “What is wrong with you?” replied Dream. “I’m about to hang up!” “No, so we smear it, and then when the teachers come in, we just stack all the desks and blockade the door,” said MrBeast. “What are your thoughts? I think it’s a banger.” But instead of a response, all he heard was three loud beeps. Dream wasn’t having a bar of it and hung up the phone. “He hung up!” said MrBeast, laughing. Karl was even jumping up and down in the background. It seems like they got the reaction they wanted. MrBeast and Dream have crossed paths many times before, which is no surprise since they’re two of the biggest YouTubers on the platform. They’ve even done Minecraft speedrun challenges together. So, it’s reasonable to assume they’re pretty good friends. Still, it seems like MrBeast’s poop-smearing idea was too much for Dream to handle. He noped out of the call as quickly as he could.

MrBeast promises Twitter revenue to fan with most liked reply – Dexerto
MrBeast promises Twitter revenue to fan with most liked reply MrBeastThe internet is battling it out after YouTube star MrBeast promised the fan with the most-liked reply to his tweet his Twitter revenue for a month. MrBeast is well-known for giving back to his fans, sometimes spending millions on some of his over-the-top YouTube videos. In a July 14 tweet, the YouTuber started a new competition for his fans, promising the user with the most-liked reply to his tweet in 48 hours all the revenue generated from his Twitter for a full month. “Whoever has the most liked reply to this in 48 hours gets all my Twitter revenue for the next month!” he wrote. While it’s unclear just how much the lucky winner will get, the YouTuber recently revealed he earned over $25k through the platform’s new Ad Revenue sharing. In just over 24 hours, the tweet has amassed over 80 million views, and close to 500k likes at the time of writing. Furthermore, the post has over 230k replies, with fans desperate to have the most liked reply. Among those to reply include the likes of Andrew Tate, who pledged to donate all the money to his charity which helps provide clean drinking water in Niger, distribute food to Syrian refugees, and more. YouTuber GeorgeNotFound also entered the race, claiming he’d use the money to buy toys and treats for his cat — also asking fans to reply to his tweet with the most expensive things he could buy. Others even promised to share all the revenue equally among everybody who likes their reply in their attempt to have the most-liked tweet. However, as it stands it looks as if French Twitter user and Twitch streamer Arkunir is in the lead, with close to 385k likes on his reply so far. With just under 24 hours to go until the deadline is up, there’s still a chance for anybody to win, although there’s no telling exactly who it could be.

MrBeast pitches “biggest game show” to any streaming platform that funds it – Dexerto
MrBeast pitches “biggest game show” to any streaming platform that funds it MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast has said he could make the biggest game show for any streaming platform that would be willing to fund it after his latest viral video. MrBeast is certainly no stranger to viral videos. With over 175 million subscribers on YouTube, it’s rare to see one of his videos garner less than 100 million views, with many even pushing close to 200 million. It’s fair to say he’s mastered the art of making videos, with the YouTube king continuously smashing records time and time again. On August 12, MrBeast teased his biggest video yet, one which he’d claim would even be bigger than his viral Squid Game recreation. Now, following the video’s release on August 19, the YouTube star has claimed he could make the “biggest game show” for any platform that pays for it. MrBeast says Beast Games would be the “biggest game show” According to Zach Pogrob, a fitness, well-being, and motivational content creator, Beast Games could rival and even be bigger than some of the world’s best obstacle courses such as Tough Mudder and Spartan Race. “Beast Games (@MrBeast latest vid) could be a massive IRL event company and blow Spartan, Tough Mudder, etc, completely out of the water,” he said. In response, MrBeast claimed that he could “easily” make any streaming service’s biggest game show if they were willing to give him the budget necessary. “If any streaming service was willing to give me the budget I need, I could easily make their biggest gameshow,” he replied. MrBeast has always toyed with the idea of partnering up with a streaming service for a massive series, pitching Netflix, Disney, and other platforms his idea to host a massive game show with the “largest prize” in history.

MrBeast pitches Netflix, Disney, other streamers on massive game show idea Instagram: MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast is publicly calling on Disney, Netflix, and other major streaming services, hoping to host a massive game show with the “largest prize” in history. 25-year-old Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is the single most-subscribed independent creator on YouTube and one of the internet’s biggest social media icons. He’s best known for his over-the-top challenge videos with huge cash prizes, big-budget recreations of famous shows and films, and, of course, his charitable endeavors and generous giveaways (which include everything from actual gold bars to Teslas). Essentially, MrBeast is the Santa Claus of YouTube… and with an audience of over 156 million fans, it looks like he’s wanting to take his channel to the next level. MrBeast calls on Disney, Netflix for massive game show On June 1, MrBeast took to Twitter to reveal that he’s been considering creating a game show with the “largest prize” in the TV genre’s history. “I want to test what I do on YouTube on a streaming service for fun to see how it performs,” he wrote. “Imagine a 10 episode series with 10,000 people competing for the largest prize in game show history.” That’s not all; it looks like Donaldson is pretty serious about this idea, as he publicly tagged major streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney, Max (formerly HBO Max), and even Peacock to let them know he’s open for a potential deal. “Who wants to make history?” he asked. @netflix @StreamOnMax @peacock @DisneyPlus who wants to make history? — MrBeast (@MrBeast) June 1, 2023 This would be a major leap for Donaldson, but not an unusual one; the YouTuber has been hosting wild games and challenges on his channel for years now, one of his latest being a contest between one hundred people aged 1-100. It’s clear that he’s got a ton of ideas under his belt — and with a reported net worth of $54 million and an audience in the hundred millions, it’d be more shocking if he doesn’t receive an offer in the near future. This news follows MrBeast’s mysterious collaboration with PewDiePie, marking the first time YouTube’s most-subscribed creators actually linked up for an unexpected meeting that drove fans wild.

MrBeast set to overtake PewDiePie as most-subscribed YouTuber within days – Dexerto
MrBeast set to overtake PewDiePie as most-subscribed YouTuber within days YouTube: Mr BeastYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is set to dethrone Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg as the platform’s most-subscribed solo channel, and it could happen sooner than you think. Over the last couple of years, there has been a fierce fight to claim the top spot as YouTube’s biggest channel. No one will ever forget the PewDiePie and T-Series rivalry, which saw the Swedish YouTube try and fend off the Bollywood production company for months in a bid to try and reach 100 million subscribers. In the end, T-Series outgrew PewDiePie to become the biggest channel on YouTube, but he’s maintained the crown as the biggest solo YouTuber. The last few months have seen Kjellberg make a slight return to the platform, as he’s documented life now he’s moved to Japan. He’s been eager for somebody to take his crown, and it looks like that’s going to happen with MrBeast. MrBeast set to overtake PewDiePie’s YouTube sub count That’s right, MrBeast is breathing right down PewDiePie’s neck and should surpass the YouTuber before long as he’s growing at an absolutely massive rate. According to SocialBlade’s stats, MrBeast is gaining on average 1 million new subscribers every five days while PewDiePie isn’t gaining anywhere near that. The Swede is still picking up new subscribers, but his growth is dwarfed by MrBeast’s. So, as per their projections, the YouTuber-turned-business mogul is set to overtake him as the top dog within a matter of days, provided PewDiePie’s fans don’t rally and look to protect his long-standing spot. It’s been a matter of when, not if, for MrBeast to take that top spot, seeing as he’s been growing at a bigger rate than any of the other big channels. That even includes T-Series, which is still way out in front as YouTube’s biggest channel. What’s even more impressive is that MrBeast has been able to keep the massive growth on his channel while also juggling a number of other channels under his umbrella. He’s on for global YouTube domination, if he hasn’t achieved it already.

Mr Beast pays man thousands of dollars following minor car accident – Dexerto
Mr Beast pays man thousands of dollars following minor car accident Popular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has once again handed over an eye-watering amount of money to a random stranger after causing some minor damage to their car. Who is MrBeast? MrBeast is widely regarded in the YouTube and Twitch communities as the creator who gives large amounts of money to small streamers – but that doesn’t mean that he won’t spread it out to normal everyday people. In a video released on April 18, Donaldson documented how, after one of his friends unfortunately collided with a parked car, the YouTuber decided to stick around and pay for the damage. MrBeast pays up However, as the video shows, MrBeast didn’t just get to stick around for a couple of minutes while they waited – instead, he and his crew had to wait for over seven hours for the car owner to return. In the meantime, they used $1,000 of the $10,000 they had to hand to set up camp in a nearby parking spot. Once their wait was over and the owner returned, the YouTuber and his friends quickly jumped up to explain the situation. The owner was clearly stunned by what was happening to him, trying to reject their offer of $9,000 in compensation on a number of occasions – stating that they were trying to give him more than the car was actually worth. However, he ultimately buckled and took the cash after the whole crew apologized for the scratch. They pretty much begged him to take the money and also jokingly asked if they needed to give him more money for the minor damage that they had caused. Handing over such a large amount of money probably isn’t going to help with MrBeast’s already complicated tax bill dilemma. Yet, considering that this is what he does, the YouTuber will probably gladly take the tax hit for his overwhelmingly kind deed. While the generous creator didn’t set out to find a random person to hand money over to, he and his crew got to shake up the direction of their video following the very minor accident – creating some different content than planned.

The famous creator became the most-subscribed YouTuber back in 2022, officially beating out PewDiePie’s long-standing record on the site. Hailed for his massive projects, charitable works, and viral videos, it makes sense that MrBeast is now the undisputed ‘king’ of YouTube… but fans were quick to notice that he might rule another platform very soon. In May of 2023, fans became aware that MrBeast’s official TikTok account was quickly climbing the top of the rankings and launched an initiative to get him to the number one spot on the video-sharing app. Now, it looks like MrBeast’s TikTok account has made a major stride in fans’ efforts to catapult him to the top.

At the time of writing, MrBeast’s account boasts 89 million followers, while Addison’s sits at 88.8 million. Addison Rae is a massively popular influencer who rose to stardom on TikTok. However, since achieving viral fame, she’s gone on to launch a music career and even appear in several films, one of which is set to release in theaters this Thanksgiving. It’s also worth noting that Rae hasn’t posted to her TikTok account in nearly three months – but in that timeframe, MrBeast has managed to overtake her to stand as the app’s fourth most-followed account. In front of MrBeast sits Bella Poarch in third place, Charli D’Amelio in second, and Khaby Lame in the top spot. MrBeast responded to the situation on Twitter/X, saying that he “should probably start posting more on TikTok, whoops.” Is this the next major social media empire to get taken over by MrBeast? Only time will tell. For now, keep it locked to Dexerto for more trending news.
