MrBeast offers refunds after glitches spoil Finger on the App for some players Instagram: mrbeastSome participants in MrBeast’s Finger on the App 2 challenge have reported glitches in the app that can potentially cause people to lose in-game lives, and miss out on the chance to win the $100,000 prize. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is known for his large-scale, high-budget YouTube videos that often see friends, fans, and strangers participate in bizarre challenges to win houses, cars, and a whole lot of money. Many viewers want to be part of one of the popular YouTuber’s challenges from home, and Jimmy found a way to make that happen with the “Finger on the App” challenge. The premise of the game is that participants keep their finger on the screen as long as possible, continuously moving their finger around a grid in order to prevent instances of cheating. The person who keeps their finger on the screen the longest is deemed the winner of the huge prize. Last time, MrBeast ended up cutting the competition early and gave the four remaining participants $20,000 each, but this time he’s upped the prize money to a whopping $100,000. The competition kicked off on March 20, and plenty of people have joined in so far, but some people are reporting glitches within the app that are costing them the game.

(No Joke) I was about 9 hours and 40 something minutes in. Really really disappointing considering I had 3 extra lives and was top 1,340,” one player wrote.

Really really disappointing considering I had 3 extra lives and was top 1,340.. a lot of people complain about the same glitch… litao.erally like 25 mins b4 you lmao — kalebbb (@vastwhiz) March 21, 2021 MrBeast offers refunds In response to someone asking Jimmy to address the widespread glitch issues, he wrote, “99% of games went smoothly, the devs are finding that most of the few people that had issues were due to poor connection or they accidentally touched with a second finger.” I obviously want nothing more then for this to go well. If for some reason you bought lives and do feel like you lost because of a glitch, we are accepting all refunds so you should be Gucci. I love you all and was just trying to give people something fun to do 🥺❤️ — MrBeast (@MrBeast) March 21, 2021 He continued by saying the team are, “still investigating,” and that, “I’m genuinely sorry if there was a real glitch, we had 1.5 mil players and I obviously want nothing more than for this to go well. If for some reason you bought lives and do feel like you lost because of a glitch, we are accepting all refunds so you should be Gucci. I love you all and was just trying to give people something fun to do.” Fans are no doubt curious to see how the end of the game plays out, and find out who will win the grand prize.

MrBeast offers to buy $10k Instagram DM from Emma Chamberlain despite backlash – Dexerto
MrBeast offers to buy $10k Instagram DM from Emma Chamberlain despite backlash YouTube: FLAGRANTMrBeast has made a bid to buy one of Emma Chamberlain’s customized Instagram messages for thousands of dollars. The “personal thank you note” made available to fans, which costs $10,000, was widely ridiculed online, to the point where many believed it to be a joke or promotional strategy. However, MrBeast commented beneath one of these criticisms and voiced his intent to buy one of the messages, saying: “I’m gonna buy it and see what it says lol”. It is not yet confirmed if MrBeast has made the purchase yet, though he has a history of making wild expenses for the sake of content. The store helpfully provides the option to pay for the message in $900 installments every month if they can’t afford the full cost upfront. Other items in Emma Chamberlain’s store include her new coffee company, Chamberlain Coffee. However, the shop has been “under construction” since the sales went viral, and many have speculated that the negative reaction was responsible for this. Chamberlain is not the first person to try to use this kind of monetization trick. Sites like Cameo have also seen influencers use messages or emails to get donations from fans, though none of them have ever been quite as expensive as this one. MrBeast is no stranger to odd Twitter interactions, having had to debunk his own announced death earlier this week.

MrBeast and NFL star Cam Newton break 3 football world records – Dexerto
MrBeast and NFL star Cam Newton break 3 football world records Cam Newton YoutubeOne of YouTube’s biggest stars, Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson, teamed up with NFL quarterback Cam Newton to break multiple footballing world records. MrBeast has grown rapidly on YouTube and is now one of the most subscribed-to in the world, entertaining fans through a variety of creative videos and challenges. On September 3, the American and his crew starred in a video with NFL player Cam Newton, where they managed to crush multiple world records. The team met at the Carolina Panthers Football stadium and quickly got underway in their attempt to break three world records. The first record seemed to be the toughest of the three, as MrBeast and crew had to catch a football between their legs from at least 35 yards away. This record proved brutal as the catcher was covered in bruises from multiple attempts, but they eventually managed it after a string of incredibly close tries. The team screamed in joy as a throw finally connected, setting a new record at 39 yards. Record two was an incredibly tricky one – catching an American football while blinded and in motion. This is something that would require an incredibly accurate throw, luckily for MrBeast, he had just the man. Cam quickly got used to the distance and the speed of the moving target, and inched closer to a perfect throw by the minute, until he finally hit the target and one of MrBeast’s crew held onto the ball while blindfolded. Again, the whole crew erupted in celebration, as they broke the previous record of 22.3 yards with an impressive 24 yards. The final record saw the two parties switch roles, this time MrBeast’s crew was throwing and the NFL star was doing the catching. This record was a time challenge – the most one-handed catches in under 60 seconds. It was an incredibly hectic one, as they had to complete over 48 one-handed passes in less than a minute. This would test both the catcher and the thrower, and one mistake could cost them everything. After an intense minute, even the judicator had lost count of the number of catches and had to view the recording to make a verdict. Everyone held their breath as the judicator announced his findings. A few catches were invalid, but the record was still broken with 51 catches, leading to an astonishing hat-trick of world records. After a short celebration, the team gathered for one last group photo, a group hug, and an inspiring “deez nuts” cheer, before departing from the stadium as world record holders.

MrBeast must remove ‘Deez Nutz’ branding from Feastables bars after lawsuit – Dexerto
MrBeast must remove ‘Deez Nutz’ branding from Feastables bars after lawsuit Instagram: mrbeastYouTube star MrBeast can no longer use the phrase ‘Deez Nuts’ to sell his peanut butter chocolate bars after a lawsuit from Florida-based company ‘Dee’s Nuts.’ Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is a household name, currently standing as YouTube’s most-subscribed independent creator after toppling PewDiePie late last year. Although he’s best known for his over-the-top videos and jaw-dropping challenges, MrBeast is more than a content creator. In 2022, he famously launched his ‘Feastables’ line of chocolate bars to wide acclaim from fans. In February 2023, MrBeast launched a new peanut butter flavored chocolate bar humorously named ‘Deez Nuts.’ Although the name was a hit with viewers, it looks like another company took umbrage with the moniker. MrBeast can’t use ‘Deez Nuts’ chocolate bar name after lawsuit In August 2023, MrBeast’s Feastables company got sued by another company based out of Jacksonville, Florida — an outfit named ‘Dee’s Nuts,’ which sells tins of flavored peanuts. Dee’s Nuts claimed that MrBeast’s ‘Deez Nuts’ chocolate bar was engaging in copyright infringement. “Feastables Inc. has used and continues to use the DEE’S NUTS® registered trademark, or a confusingly similar and phonetically equivalent thereof,” the company wrote in a lawsuit. MrBeast’s lawyers pushed back, arguing that “millions of people on the internet have come to use the phrase ‘deez nuts’ as an irreverent way to interject humor or sarcasm into or end a conversation.” Unfortunately, it looks like Dee’s Nuts won the war. Last week, a judge reportedly approved a permanent injunction between the two companies, ruling that Feastables can no longer use the phrase ‘Deez Nuts’ to sell its products. According to reports, court documents stated that Feastables agreed that ‘Deez Nuts’ was “confusingly similar to ‘Dee’s Nuts.’ However, at the time of writing, MrBeast’s ‘Deez Nuts’ peanut butter chocolate bars are still available for sale on his website, and the YouTuber has yet to publicly speak out about the situation.

MrBeast reveals new charity project in Cameroon with donations from philanthropy channel – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals new charity project in Cameroon with donations from philanthropy channel Instagram: MrBeast / YouTube: Beast PhilanthropyJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has revealed that his charity, Beast Philanthropy, has built wells in two Cameroon villages thanks to the support of viewers of his charity channel. MrBeast is one of the biggest creators on YouTube, with over 95 million subscribers on his main channel alone. He’s well known for his large-scale and often bizarre challenge videos, where he’s done anything from spending 50 hours buried alive, to recreating a real-life version of the hit Korean show ‘Squid Game.’ The latter stands as his most popular video, with over 250 million views. Jimmy is also well-known for his philanthropy, and he has run some huge charity campaigns in the past, including Team Trees and Team Seas, and even runs his own philanthropy channel where any revenue generated goes to his charity, Beast Philanthropy. In a video uploaded on May 20, Jimmy revealed the latest project that he and his team have undertaken — building wells in the villages of Mbouda and Foumbot in Cameroon. They partnered with the charity CDVTA on the project to build two separate wells that will each produce 10,000 liters of water per day. They say that the deep wells will reportedly serve 9000 – 12,000 people, meaning that each person will able to get two liters of clean drinking water per day. After the hard work from the team and anticipation from the community, the video shows clips of the moment they finally struck water, leading to huge celebrations. Jimmy said that based on the data he’d been given, the two wells will produce 7.5 million liters of water per year. He also reminded viewers that just by watching the video, they are helping to pay for more wells in the future, with all the revenue generated going to Beast Philanthropy. One commenter wrote: “Now this is a wonderful use of resources and money. It could have gone anywhere, but here it is most certainly needed and no doubt unimaginably appreciated.” MrBeast has been on YouTube for over a decade now, and the amount he’s been able to accomplish in that time is astonishing.

MrBeast “moving on” from Beast Burger restaurants after just two years – Dexerto
MrBeast “moving on” from Beast Burger restaurants after just two years Instagram: MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast has revealed he’s “moving on” from his Beast Burger restaurants in order to shift his focus to Feastables. Over the past couple of years, some of our favorite influencers have begun launching their own brands — many of which have even come to reach incredible heights so far. Among them include the likes of KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration, which has put a massive dent in the hydration beverage market, even partnering up with Arsenal FC and the UFC. Similarly, in late 2020, MrBeast began to expand his YouTube empire, entering the fast food business with his very own ‘MrBeast Burger’ chain, launching thousands of locations to help small businesses. It’s fair to say Beast Burger has been a hit with fans, with the YouTube star even breaking the record “for most burgers sold in a day by a single restaurant,” during the launch of the first in-person location. However, the YouTube star is now looking to move on from his burger chain just two years after its launch, and instead shift his focus to his Feastables brand. MrBeast “moving on” from Beast Burger Despite having over 2,000 locations open for delivery, in a now-deleted tweet on June 17, MrBeast revealed he’s ready to move on from Beast Burger after a fan noted that the original video announcing the launch of the brand had been deleted. “I started MrBeast Burger to help restaurants make more $ during the pandemic and it worked!” the YouTube star wrote. “But sadly when working with 2,000 restaurants I don’t own it’s impossible to guarantee the order quality.” He added: “I’m moving on from MrBeast Burger so I can focus on Feastables and making snacks!” A fan responded, asking what’s in store next for Beast Burger, which the YouTuber answered revealing the chain will still be operational, as the company he partnered with won’t let him shut down the business. “I would if I could,” Jimmy replied. “But the company I partnered with won’t let me stop even though it’s terrible for my brand. Young beast signed a bad deal.” Feastables first launched in early 2022, launching several chocolate bars and has continued to grow with a variety of new flavors, and products — even making its way into Walmarts across the US. There’s absolutely no telling what’s in store next for Feastables, but with the YouTuber shifting his focus onto the brand, it’s sure to be big.

MrBeast makes YouTube offer to Dream after face reveal breaks internet – Dexerto
MrBeast makes YouTube offer to Dream after face reveal breaks internet Minecraft superstar and former-faceless creator Dream has broken the internet by revealing his face, and now MrBeast is ready to offer him a spot in his videos. After a week of teasers – following years of anticipation – Dream finally revealed his face to the internet, including his 30+ million subscribers on YouTube. Being a faceless creator for years, Dream came to this decision in light of his best friend GeorgeNotFound moving to the US to live with him and their friend Sapnap. And during the face reveal, Dream stated he wanted to do more IRL content. With 1.5 million people watching his reveal, and the internet imploding thereafter, it was only a matter of time before other creators would capitalize on the pandemonium. Enter MrBeast with an offer Dream couldn’t refuse. MrBeast offers Dream a YouTube collab after face reveal Dream has collaborated with other content creators in the past via Minecraft, but his need to keep his identity a secret stopped him from any IRL collabs. We often see big Twitch streamers and YouTubers meet up in person for events, but Dream couldn’t participate… until now. On October 2, MrBeast replied to Dream’s tweet showing off his face with a collab offer. He stated, “Now that you got that out the way, COME BE IN SOME VIDEOS!!!” While MrBeast often has random subscribers compete for money, he sometimes allows larger creators to be a part of his videos as well. Ludwig, Logan Paul, and Bella Poarch are just a few of the creators who have been invited to compete in a MrBeast challenge. Now, it seems that Dream (along with some of his SMP friends) could be featured in one of MrBeast’s upcoming projects. And since Dream, George, and Sapnap live in Florida; they don’t have to travel far to reach MrBeast in North Carolina.

MrBeast may not donate to Twitch streamers in future videos – Dexerto
MrBeast may not donate to Twitch streamers in future videos YouTube’s king of big budgets and social experiments has revealed that he might not create any more Twitch donation videos going forward. MrBeast is known as the ‘good Samaritan’ of the internet, compiling massive budgets in order to donate thousands of dollars to small-time Twitch and YouTube streamers. However, he announced that he may not be creating donation videos in the future, claiming that he is ‘numb’ to the experience in a recent video uploaded on November 4. “I feel like I’m kind of numb to donating to streamers now,” he said, just after donating $1,500 to a streamer. “I’ve done it so much… it’s starting to lose its fun-ness.” Read More: YouTuber Pyrocynical sends Kanye West a meme, gets followed, immediately asks him to play Fortnite – He then stated that the video in question could mark the last of its kind. “…I that think we’re going to be doing much more Twitch donation videos,” he said. “I’ve done this a lot, so this will probably be one of the last ones I do.” MrBeast’s last donation video pitted YouTubers and Twitch streamers against each other in a game of ‘rock, paper, scissors,’ with winners receiving a donation of $1,000 or more. Twitch ended up beating the competition seven points to one. While MrBeast may not donate to streamers going forward, that isn’t to say that he’ll quit donation videos altogether; the YouTuber has created an array of crazy social experiment videos, donating massive amounts of cash to servers, the homeless, and even college students.

Over the weekend, YouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson unleashed his latest business venture that’s raising eyebrows across the net — his very own chocolate bars. The influencer is going full-on Willy Wonka with this new endeavor, even sending out mystery boxes as possible promo for the new launch; but he isn’t the only YouTuber making money moves lately. Weeks prior to MrBeast’s ‘Feastables’ snacking brand, YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI both unleashed their very own sports drink, ‘Prime Hydration.’ The big reveal was so successful that the bev completely sold out online mere hours after its initial launch, bringing the hype to an all-time high. In the midst of these two internet behemoths branching out into the food and beverage industry, they met up with several other high-profile creators for an unknown reason over the final weekend of January 2021. Luckily, they are letting fans get a small sneak peek of behind-the-scenes content for this mysterious meetup — some of which showed the creators giving an honest review of each other’s new products. MrBeast & Logan Paul review Feastables and Prime Hydration The short video, posted to Instagram, shows Logan Paul and vlogger Casey Neistat chowing down on MrBeast’s Feastables chocolate bars, with Neistat dubbing the candy a “fancier, cleaner, nicer chocolate.” Paul seemed to be in total agreement before MrBeast got to take a sip of his Prime Hydration drink — a sports bev that’s 10% coconut water with 850 milligrams of electrolytes. MrBeast claimed he was “surprised” by how tasty the drink was, with Neistat voicing a similar sentiment after claiming he much prefers Prime over Gatorade. “I would tell you if I thought it was horrible,” MrBeast admitted. “It’s not. I’m actually surprised.” View this post on Instagram Fans can cop Logan Paul and KSI’s Prime Hydration at most major retailers in the US, with a UK launch set to come soon. MrBeast’s chocolate bars are available to buy online, but only within the United States at the time of writing.

MrBeast made an actual Battle Bus as a gift for FaZe Tfue Fortnite, Epic Games / MrBeast, YouTubePopular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson stole Fortnite pro FaZe Tfue away from his stream for a few hours on December 3 – and now, fans finally know why. MrBeast transformed a yellow school bus into an actual Battle Bus from the massively popular battle royale title Fortnite, even pimping out the inside of the vehicle with gaming setups, merch, and a bunk bed. MrBeast teamed up with Tfue’s brother, ‘JOOGSQUAD,’ to pull off the stunt, taking the bus on a 20-hour road trip from his home in North Carolina all the way to the FaZe Fortnite team house in the Hollywood hills. While the bus was lacking a hot-air balloon, it nevertheless looks like the spitting image of the vehicle – and Tfue’s reaction to the present was unforgettable. Read More: KEEMSTAR slams Deji over feud with KSI – The team interrupted Tfue’s stream after notifying him that they were a mere 10 minutes away, climbing through his window to celebrate the pro’s Victory Royale with a turret – all during a live broadcast.

Sorry for stealing Tfue from his stream, he will be back in a bit. pic.twitter.com/jvUq3fsAt5 — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) December 3, 2018 The group then drove the bus around – even getting stopped by a traffic cop after parking the bus by the curb to jump into a canal. Tfue returned to his stream (which still managed to pick up 18,000 viewers, despite his long absence) with a ripped t-shirt, claiming that he merely left for a trip to the bathroom. While MrBeast had Tweeted about a possible collab with the streamer, the two managed to keep it a secret – until now.

MrBeast leaves fans on a cliffhanger after insane $500k circle challenge gets serious – Dexerto
MrBeast leaves fans on a cliffhanger after insane $500k circle challenge gets serious YouTube: MrBeastYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has uploaded one of his biggest videos yet — one that took over 700 SD cards and cost over $1 million to film. MrBeast is known for taking things to the next level with every video he makes. After getting his start by pulling insane stunts like saying Logan Paul’s name 100,000 times, this YouTuber has become one of the biggest influencers of his era. These days, MrBeast is known as one of the most philanthropic creators out there. Donaldson has given away hundreds of thousands of dollars to his local communities, has started his very own charity, and even helped plant 20 million trees before 2020. Of course, every creator has their wild side, and MrBeast is no different… but his evil genius persona likes to pit his friends against each other in insane challenges for an equally crazy amount of cash. View this post on Instagram His latest challenge tasked 100 people with standing inside a circle for the chance at winning half a million dollars. The catch? Each day he would reduce the circle’s area, cramping competitors into a smaller space to raise the stakes — and anyone who so much as touches the boundary gets booted out of the game. Of course, he had to pull some strings to get people to leave the circle with various side-quests and close observation, but ultimately whittled the contestants down to just ten people. This entire process took over a week, and, according to MrBeast, cost over $1 million to create. That’s not all; he even used over 700 SD cards to film the massive project, claiming that he’d rather keep the footage on the cards than erase them for fear of losing footage. Over a million dollars, 12 days of filming, and 700 SD cards went into our up coming video! I can’t wait to upload it :))) — MrBeast (@MrBeast) August 18, 2021 The entire vibe of the experiment was a bit like summer camp meets survivor — but it’s not even over yet. Once the ten contestants were determined, MrBeast abruptly ended the video, leaving fans on a major cliffhanger that won’t be resolved until the next installment is uploaded. This is highly unusual for MrBeast, but fans are loving it. In fact, plenty of commenters are calling for the YouTuber to get his very own game show, and we can’t say that he wouldn’t be a great fit for an internet version of ‘Wipeout.’ For now, all we can do is wait with bated breath until his next video resolves this edge-of-your-seat ending.

MrBeast literally gets buried alive for two days – Dexerto
MrBeast literally gets buried alive for two days YouTube: MrBeastPopular YouTuber MrBeast has taken his latest video to the next level by staying in a box underground for 50 hours straight. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson makes some of YouTube’s craziest videos, both in terms of budget, and concept. He’s been making videos on the platform since 2012, and in the years since he’s managed to rack up over 56 million subscribers on his main channel alone. A lot of the star’s content focuses on giving money to friends, fans, and strangers, by getting them to participate in bizarre challenges. He even convinced a restaurant worker to quit her job on the spot in exchange for $100,000. But Jimmy also isn’t afraid to set up large-scale challenges for himself in order to entertain viewers – and his latest one was certainly a huge feat. He decided to stay in a glass coffin buried underground for 50 hours straight, and he didn’t do it by halves. In the coffin with him were just some blankets and a pillow, supplies, and of course, cameras. After they lowered the lid down, the team used a digger to pile huge amounts of dirt on top of the YouTube star, until he was well and truly buried alive. Read More: Was Charli D’Amelio’s TikTok banned? – They of course set up an air ventilation system so that Jimmy would be safe inside the coffin, and he even showed “pee bottles” to prove he was actually doing the challenge for real. It was a long 50 hours for the YouTuber, who was connected to the outside world only by a walkie-talkie, and his friends caused plenty of mischief on the surface to make the challenge that extra bit harder for MrBeast. When it came to finally releasing the star from his coffin at the end of the 50 hours, Jimmy looked so relieved that he actually started to tear up. The two-day challenge was certainly an impressive feat, and viewers couldn’t believe that he’d actually gone through with the idea.

MrBeast launches TeamSeas to topple Team Trees 20 million planting goal – Dexerto
MrBeast launches TeamSeas to topple Team Trees 20 million planting goal YouTube: MrBeastMrBeast has teamed up with fellow YouTuber Mark Rober to launch TeamSeas, a fundraiser set to topple his previous goal of 20 million trees planted with TeamTrees by cleaning up 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean. Two years ago, YouTuber and philanthropist Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson teamed up with the Team Tree initiative to help raise $20,000,000 and plant a massive 20m trees. The goal was ultimately met in just two months, ending several weeks before the deadline of January 1st, 2020. This year, the creator has teamed up with scientific YouTuber and engineer Mark Rober, alongside hundreds of other creators, to form TeamSeas in an effort to topple last year’s goal and raise 30m. Every dollar going is towards cleaning up one pound of trash from the world’s oceans. MrBeast #TeamSeas Initiative To promote the initiative, the duo rounded up volunteers to clean up one of the dirtiest beaches in the entire world. MrBeast hired a professional beach cleaner to help organize the efforts and provide tools to help separate the garbage from the sand. After doubling the number of volunteers, the group heard about another beach that was just as dirty down the road, so they split up the group to clean both beaches. Combining the amount of trash collected from both beaches, they removed over 60,000 pounds of trash. “Two years ago, we crushed our goal of 20 million trees planted and it’s time to do it again,” Donaldson explained. “We’ve teamed up with hundreds of other creators in an effort to raise 30 million dollars to clean 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean by the end of the year.” Read More: Jake Paul confirms Tommy Fury fight date – The duo went on to explain that half of the money raised will go towards volunteer trash clean-ups, similar to what they did in the video, and the other half will go towards robots that pick up trash from the ocean 24 hours a day, 365 days out of the year. TeamSeas has set up a handy tracker and donation portal for anyone interested in helping the initiative.

MrBeast leaves David Dobrik’s brother in tears with huge cash gift Instagram, @DavidDobrik / @MrBeastWhen David Dobrik’s little brother tells the vlogger his favorite YouTuber is Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson, he knows exactly who to call. After going through intense controversy from fellow Vlog Squad members and other influencers over past pranks, David Dobrik and the vlog squad have returned to the internet despite losing over 2.3 billion YouTube views and 400k subscribers. Wasting no time after coming back, the Vlog Squad immediately got back to their usual shenanigans, including inflating a plane’s emergency exit slide in Dobrik’s backyard. With an August 17 video uploaded to Dobrik’s channel, it starts with the squad’s usual pranks. Starting off disguising a bucket of ice water as part of their couch and hiding a Vlog Squad member in another’s bed and following it with a scene including Dixie D’Amelio before cutting over to MrBeast. David Dobrik surprises his brother with MrBeast Cutting over to a scene with MrBeast, the vlogger introduces him: “Hey, Guys I’m here with Jimmy, or MrBeast, OR my brother’s favorite YouTuber.” before going on to say it’s “kinda s****y” even though Jimmy thinks it’s pretty hilarious. After telling Toby that the crew had some gifts for him, they cut over to the older Dobrik’s car where they show a frisbee they got for him since he lost one in the ocean. “We also got you this shirt.” David goes on to say with someone holding the MrBeast branded shirt in the back seat while hiding behind it. “I hope you really like it!” Donaldson says after pulling the shirt down revealing to Toby that he was holding the shirt the whole time. Going on to ask the YouTuber’s younger brother, MrBeast asks: “Since I’m giving you this shirt, what else would I typically give you?” After Toby answers “money?”, Jimmy pulls a silver briefcase up from his feet holding $10,000 cash. Unknown to David, Jimmy then continues to ask Toby: “Who’s your favorite YouTuber?” to which he replies “you!” and is handed a brand new iPhone. The video goes on to show Dobriks younger brother happy crying over the gifts, in which multiple people in the video mention how great of a reaction it is. While David Dobrik may be heartbroken that he’s not his little brother’s favorite YouTuber, maybe we’ll see something from him trying to win him over from MrBeast.

MrBeast launches new channel that donates 100% of YouTube revenue to charity – Dexerto
MrBeast launches new channel that donates 100% of YouTube revenue to charity YouTube, Beast PhilanthropyMrBeast is known for putting a lot of money and generosity into his content, but a brand-new YouTube channel, Beast Philanthropy, takes that to the next level — donating 100 percent of video revenue to charity. Although there was some drama surrounding MrBeast getting taxpayer money in a small-business PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) loan back in September, the YouTuber is generally considered to be a generous guy. The popular content creator has earned over 55 million subscribers on YouTube, with his most popular videos getting millions upon millions of views. While many of those videos involve extravagant spending ($70,000 golden pizza, anyone?), a lot simply involve generously giving money away. From giving random people his credit card to, most recently, paying out $120,000 to two people for keeping their finger on their phone (in his Finger on the App challenge), MrBeast has given away a lot of cash. Now, he’s upping the ante and launching a YouTube channel that will donate 100 percent of its revenue to charity. I uploaded the first Beast Philanthropy video! 100% of the revenue on this channel goes straight into our food pantry and I can’t wait to see how big we can grow the charity 🙂https://t.co/f0X2ElzbZU — MrBeast (@MrBeast) March 26, 2021 Discussing the launch of the channel’s first video on Twitter, MrBeast explained that “100 percent of the revenue on this channel goes straight into our food pantry and I can’t wait to see how big we can grow the charity.” In the video itself, he dives into some of his charitable actions in the past, including, but not limited to, donating $1 million in food to people, giving a homeless person a house and planting 20 million trees. Then he explains the simple premise behind this Beast Philanthropy channel: “In general, I enjoy doing good things — which is why I started my very own charity and 100 percent of the revenue from this channel will go towards funding it.” That also includes revenue gained from the channel’s brand partnerships and merchandise. MrBeast then shows what this is all about, revealing a food pantry that already stores over 50,000 pounds of food and allows him to donate food to “communities in need” on a weekly basis. Revealing how big the food pantry actually is, Beast Philanthropy’s head of operations explained that it can feed millions of people per year. Read more: MrBeast to invest $2m in smaller YouTubers – The video dives into food scarcity for communities, how the charity was formed and how much it costs to run a charity. The overriding premise is simple, just by viewing the channel’s videos, people can drive up YouTube revenue for free and thereby contribute. “Every view on this channel is literally putting food in people’s mouths.”

MrBeast kickstarts brother’s YouTube channel with $100k shopping spree – Dexerto
MrBeast kickstarts brother’s YouTube channel with $100k shopping spree MrBeast, YouTubeYouTube star Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is touted as the site’s most generous creator, known for dropping serious cash on wait staff, small-time streamers, and students – but this time, he’s helping out his own flesh and blood. To the surprise of many fans, MrBeast announced that he had a brother, who was starting his own YouTube channel to follow in his footsteps on August 25. However, sending him subscribers wasn’t enough – instead, MrBeast decided to give him the gift of cash, dropping a whopping $100,000 on his little bro to start up his own YouTube channel and 24 hours to spend it all. My brother launches his channel next week! He has some massive videos coming up and i’m very proud of him. Go Subscribe! (he is going to be dropping some bangers)https://t.co/QAJwe0LIe5 — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) August 25, 2019 MrBeast and crew followed his brother (going by the name “MrBro”) around Best Buy, where he spent over $30k on production equipment, as well as a few gifts for his editors. The group even went to a car dealership to spend more dough, where he dropped another $26k on a Dodge Ram pickup truck. Of course, the crew had to take a break from all that shopping with an expensive meal – and expensive meals require equally expensive tips, with MrBeast tipping $700 in dollar bills to their waitress. As many know, it takes more than mere money to make a successful YouTube channel, with MrBeast admitting that he’d even given his little brother five employees, a warehouse, and office space, as well as creating his thumbnails and helping him think up content. This understandably puts a lot of pressure on the up-and-coming YouTuber – which MrBeast made sure to point out. “I’m shouting you out and giving you a million subscribers,” he explained. “Literally, all you have to do is not suck, and you should be fine.” MrBro has already released three videos on his channel, which boast over one million views in total, with his channel reaching over 600k subscribers at the time of writing – despite only being a month old. It looks like MrBeast’s “secret” brother isn’t so secret anymore – and he’s building the Beast family empire one hilarious video at a time.

MrBeast jokes about almost “going bankrupt” over his free store promotion – Dexerto
MrBeast jokes about almost “going bankrupt” over his free store promotion MrBeast, YouTubePopular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is known for both his insane challenge videos and his habit for giving out free cash, as evidenced by his June 15 video, where he and his crew opened up a “free store.” Unlike his $1 store from late January, this time, MrBeast and co. let shoppers haul off with one item each – for absolutely free. MrBeast’s video on the topic saw a slew of shoppers from throughout his community take part in the festivities, “buying” everything from gaming consoles to HD TVs, which he’d purchased from a tech store – and even a bag of blackened bananas. Of course, MrBeast isn’t one to withhold his generosity, and even gave out wads of cash to customers via his “rewards program” (meaning that the lucky guy who made off with the bananas got $500 in compensation). The former mayor of MrBeast’s city also made a showing for the project, sharing his favorite video from the squad and claiming that he was up to participate in their next crazy stunt. MrBeast’s “free store” didn’t go off without a hitch, however; the YouTuber shared a few mishaps that occurred prior to the video’s upload on June 15, claiming that some shoppers had traveled to the location of his $1 store, instead, while others waited in line outside his new store a full day before it was scheduled to open. The YouTuber even joked that he was “going bankrupt” due to giving away the free goodies, claiming that his “investors” would be angry at their lack of profit – prompting him to plug his merch, instead. MrBeast claimed that his inspiration for the free store stemmed from his $1 shop in January, admitting that he didn’t want shoppers to “to not be able to afford stuff.” I’m opening another store but this time everything is free. It was $1 last time and I don’t want people to not be able to afford stuff. pic.twitter.com/QvtVCfLz1I — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) June 6, 2019 While MrBeast is hailed as a good Samaritan throughout the internet, he’s doing more than giving out wads of cash: the YouTuber is even opening his own homeless shelter, as announced in a Tweet on June 12. Despite many approving of his idea, some fans pointed out that MrBeast’s funds would be better spent supporting existing shelters, prompting him to reply that he might switch up his idea in the future – possibly opting for a food bank, instead. Idk, still educating myself. I might end up going with something more simple like a food bank if I believe it will be more helpful. — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) June 12, 2019 Whatever the case may be, there’s no denying that MrBeast has made a wholesome impact on the YouTube community at large, reaching a whopping 20 million subscribers on the platform in the process.

MrBeast is slapping himself in the face every time fans donate to #TeamSeas – Dexerto
MrBeast is slapping himself in the face every time fans donate to #TeamSeas YouTube: MrBeastYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is upping the ante for his viral #TeamSeas ocean cleaning efforts by giving fans a unique incentive for donating to the project. MrBeast is one of YouTube’s most popular content creators, and not without reason; the influencer has gained widespread notoriety for orchestrating intense, high-stakes challenges, as well as more technically impressive works like his Squid Game recreation. However, Donaldson is equally hailed for his philanthropic side, having created his own charity to help feed his local community — not to mention his successful #TeamTrees effort to plant 20 million trees before 2020. Now, the YouTuber is executing a massive project with the aim of cleaning the world’s oceans called #TeamSeas. MrBeast slaps himself in the face to raise money for #TeamSeas The goal is to raise $30 million to clean 30 million pounds of trash from the world’s oceans by the end of the year. The ambitious project saw the involvement of top-tier influencers across the net, and managed to raise nearly $7 million within a week — but with a significant amount to go still, MrBeast came up with an ingenious way to increase donations. On December 2, two months after first starting #TeamSeas, MrBeast went live with his crew and fellow YouTuber Mark Rober with an interesting incentive; donate cash toward TeamSeas and the team will slap themselves in the face. MrBeast and Mark Rober are getting slapped every time someone donates to #TeamSeas The live stream currently has over 230,000 viewers. pic.twitter.com/M2XDRx8di0 — Dexerto (@Dexerto) December 21, 2021 That’s not all; the bigger the donations, the bigger the slaps. When fans donate $1,000, MrBeast gets slapped with a giant “hand of god,” sending him tumbling into an inflatable pool of foam blocks. Read More: Zach King wins MrBeast’s Creator Games 3 – Some lucky fans will also have the chance of winning a car and a slew of other shiny, techy prizes like phones and TV’s — but they have to donate to the stream for the chance of nabbing these goodies. At the time of writing, MrBeast and co. have raised $18.8 million total, and managed to garner around $150,000 in just 30 minutes of their broadcast. Fans can tune into MrBeast’s broadcast on his official YouTube channel to watch the chaos (and the donations) ensue. Considering the sheer scale of his most recent projects, there’s no telling where fate will take this YouTuber next… but if his current success is anything to go by, his future is looking mighty bright.

MrBeast & Jacksepticeye reveal rough impact of Sidemen Charity Match – Dexerto
MrBeast & Jacksepticeye reveal rough impact of Sidemen Charity Match YouTube: SidemenYouTube stars MrBeast and Jacksepticeye have revealed the damaging impact the 2023 Sidemen Charity match had on them. This year’s Sidemen Charity match was easily the biggest yet. Upping their game, the popular UK YouTube group filled up West Ham’s London Stadium, selling over 60,000 seats for the match. With some of the biggest YouTubers and influencers in attendance, on and off the pitch, it’s fair to say the match was a tremendous success — raising over £2,425,855, set to be shared across five different charities. Besides the immense scoreline, with Sidemen FC keeping their winning streak alive over the YouTube Allstars, with the final result standing at 8-5, there was a fair share of notable moments. Among them come from IShowSpeed, where in the opening minutes of the match the 18-year-old went for a tackle on MrBeast. However, instead of getting the ball, Speed’s boot hit his opponent’s knee. Thankfully, MrBeast was able to walk off the foul. However, in a tweet on September 10, the YouTube star revealed the impact it had. “Not gonna lie it’s the next day and I went to stand up and my right knee was throbbing lol,” he wrote, alongside posting a clip of the incident. In the replies, fans and other creators gave praise to the YouTuber for giving his all in the match and for the team. “Body on the line for the team,” Sidemen star Zerkaa replied. “Left it all out on the pitch, great effort Mr Beast,” wrote the official YouTube account. Nonetheless, MrBeast isn’t the only one dealing with the rough impacts of being on the pitch. Likewise, YouTube Allstars’ Jacksepticeye revealed he struggled to move his legs when he woke up the day after the match. “I can’t move my legs this morning,” he tweeted, with MrBeast responded “same” along with the sobbing emoji.” “At least you got tackled! I’m just old,” the Irish YouTuber joked back. With the international break in professional football, the Sidemen Charity match was well-timed, ultimately breaking the previous viewership world record from the previous year.

MrBeast is in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem – Dexerto
MrBeast is in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem MrBeast/Paramount PicturesOne of MrBeast’s most unexpected collaborations has been revealed: he has a surprise cameo role in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Mutant Mayhem is the latest movie in the TMNT franchise, a Spider-Verse-esque animated reboot that pits the pizza-loving turtles against Superfly and his army of mutants. While the central mask-wearing quartet is voiced by relative unknowns, there’s some big names in the supporting cast, including Jackie Chan, John Cena, Ice Cube, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Maya Rudolph, and The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri. However, there’s one star that nobody knew before the movie hit cinemas: MrBeast. MrBeast cameo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem revealed MrBeast is credited as “Times Square Guy” in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Some viewers have been left confused by the cameo, as they didn’t even notice it in the theater. “My theory is that he is in the new #TMNTMovie, but not the version I seen or all of us seen in the UK; he might only be in the US/American Version in the movie theater/cinema,” one user wrote. It’s more likely that people didn’t register it as MrBeast’s voice as it’s over so quickly. “Didn’t notice him the first viewing so imma keep an ear out for him during the second,” another wrote. Others have made similar jokes about MrBeast’s “next video” with the Turtles. “He’s about to buy all the turtles a Tesla,” one tweeted. “Is he buying infinite amounts of pizza in the movie?” another wrote. “Today I poured 500 gallons of radioactive ooze into the sewer! Whatever animal doesn’t die from the radiation gets $100,000!” a third joked. While some TMNT fans have criticized the influencer’s cameo, others have supported it. “You know this makes a ton of sense. The TEENAGE Mutant Ninja Turtles would absolutely watch his stuff,” one argued. “I’m sitting here like what??? Who cares?? Then I remember this isn’t for my generation anymore. Loads of young boys and girls love Mr Beast,” another wrote. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is in cinemas now. Check out our other coverage below:

MrBeast is pitting these top YouTubers against one another for a $100,000 prize – Dexerto
MrBeast is pitting these top YouTubers against one another for a $100,000 prize MrBeast, Twitter / 123RFPopular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is back at it again with another, crazy challenge – this time, using some of YouTube’s biggest names in an insane contest for $100,000. MrBeast entertained the idea of remaking one of his previous challenge videos – particularly the one where he challenged a group of his friends to stay inside of a spray-painted circle for as long as they could in order to win $10,000. However, he has since changed this challenge to include some of YouTube’s biggest stars, rather than his usual group of buddies. MrBeast recruited FaZe’s Rug, Adapt, and Rain, as well as YouTubers Danny Duncan, Caspar Lee, Callux, and even Fortnite pro Tfue’s brother, JOOGSQUAD. Also in the mix are Alex Earnst, Craig Thompson, Leon Lush, and Will Lenney. The more, the merrier! In addition to his star-studded cast, MrBeast has likewise switched up the rules; the competitors will not be allowed to sit down during the duration of the challenge, and will wear vests that MrBeast will increase in weight by one pound each hour. In keeping with his previous video, audiences can expect the the combatants to grow intensely weary of their predicament, which will likely lead up to a hilarious conclusion. MrBeast’s invited YouTubers have since uploaded their own videos responding to the challenge, with the likes of FaZe Rug even training up in advance in an effort to cop the cash. According to MrBeast’s Tweets, three YouTubers have already been eliminated from the circle as of December 8 – although we won’t know who they are until he uploads his video on the insane stunt.

MrBeast reveals insane costs behind YouTube videos & why he wants to go “bigger” – Dexerto
MrBeast reveals insane costs behind YouTube videos & why he wants to go “bigger” Instagram: mrbeastYouTuber MrBeast has revealed why he still wants to “push the boundaries” and “go bigger” with his main channel videos, despite their insane cost. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the most popular YouTubers on the site right now, with over 94 million subscribers on his main channel alone. He’s known for his philanthropy, as well as his crazy video ideas that often end up garnering tens of millions of views and going viral across social media. In late 2021, he did his craziest challenge yet — a lifesize recreation of the hit show Squid Game — which cost an astonishing $3.5 million to make. But even though he previously revealed that he’s losing “a ridiculous amount of money” through his main channel, it seems he doesn’t plan on scaling back any time soon. In an interview with Rolling Stone, MrBeast revealed that each main channel video he makes often costs about a million dollars to produce. Jimmy said: “I could be doing cheaper videos,” Donaldson says. “But I just don’t want to. I want to push the boundaries to go bigger, bigger.” Regarding people questioning his motivations when it comes to his charitable efforts, the YouTuber also explained: “I know myself, and I don’t have anything to prove to anyone. I think what I’ve done speaks for itself. “I have an entire channel built around my nonprofit that I’ve invested ungodly amounts of hours into building, that I’ll never see a single penny out of.… I lose five figures and dozens of hours every month. The opportunity cost could go to projects that make millions of dollars. So I don’t care. I don’t say this stuff publicly, because that’s not why I do it.” One of MrBeast’s channels is Beast Philanthropy, the revenue from which goes towards his charity, which “currently operates a food pantry with a mobile food distribution network, established to address the food insecurity needs of remote and under-served food deserts.” Jimmy is well known for being generous, and earlier in April he even allowed fans to order free Feastables chocolate bars for ten minutes, which ended up crashing the website.

MrBeast hits out at YouTuber SunnyV2 for claiming Chris will be “nightmare” for him – Dexerto
MrBeast hits out at YouTuber SunnyV2 for claiming Chris will be “nightmare” for him YouTube: FLAGRANT, SunnyV2YouTube star MrBeast is hitting back at fellow creator SunnyV2 for making a video claiming that his friend, Chris Tyson, will be a PR “nightmare” for him and his YouTube empire. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is the single most-followed content creator on YouTube, boasting over 145 million subscribers and successfully beating out the site’s previous record holder, PewDiePie, last year. Donaldson is best known for his over-the-top challenge videos, his big-budget recreations of popular media like Squid Game, and his charitable projects — such as the time he paid for 1,000 people’s cataract surgeries. However, the YouTube star has recently come under the microscope after one of his close friends, Chris Tyson, revealed they are currently undergoing hormone replacement therapy after speculation about their gender surfaced online. MrBeast has been publicly supportive of Chris during this time, consistently shutting down negative commenters on Twitter and making sure to uplift his buddy as they undergo their transition. Despite this, a slew of divisive comments have continued to arise as a result of Chris’s transition, prompting MrBeast to speak out against the negativity in a pointed comment. On April 13, popular YouTuber SunnyV2 published a YouTube video titled, “Why Chris Will Soon Be A Nightmare For MrBeast.” In the video, SunnyV2 posited that Chris’s gender could upend the dynamics of MrBeast’s friend group. “Chris likely believes that people will slowly adapt to his new appearance over time, but is this really going to happen?” the YouTuber said. “Well, maybe. …if Chris continues to transition, would it be unreasonable to say he could jeopardize some of the personality traits that made him a successful member in the first place?” That’s not all; Sunny also made comparisons to LGBTQIA+ representation in modern media, saying: “If there’s anything we’ve learned anything from Hollywood in recent years, it’s that adding over-the-top LGBT characters for the sake of relatability rarely works as intended, and is often nothing more than a distraction from the premise of the movie or video.” MrBeast lashes out at YouTuber for “transphobic” video about Chris Tyson Mr. Beast responded to the upload in a pointed comment on Twitter, saying: “Yeah, this is getting absurd. Chris isn’t my ‘nightmare,’ he’s my f*cken friend and things are fine. All this transphobia is starting to piss me off.” Although this is far from the first time MrBeast has hit back at negative comments reacting to Chris’s transition, it’s clear that the YouTuber is growing frustrated with transphobia against his friend.

I went all out tbh.” When one user commented that they hope the new style will mirror MrBeast’s philanthropy videos, the content creator replied. Stating, “It is, this is gonna change YouTube. Best video ever.” This isn’t the first time he has hyped up the mysterious new video. MrBeast has been hinting at a game-changing project for the past few weeks.

MrBeast hits out at “fake” YouTube ads using his identity – Dexerto
MrBeast hits out at “fake” YouTube ads using his identity YouTube: Curiosity StreamYouTube star MrBeast is lashing out at “fake” ads using his likeness on YouTube, claiming that he’s reached out to the platform to fix the issue with no results. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the biggest YouTubers in the space right now. Boasting over 96 million subscribers on his main channel alone, the influencer has become best known for big-budget projects like his viral ‘Squid Games’ recreation and his real-life rendition of Willy Wonka’s fictitious chocolate factory. Considering his status as a top-tier social media star, it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that he’s garnered a few copycats throughout his career… but some of these imitators are less than flattering. A quick scroll through the YouTube app will occasionally show an advertisement claiming to be from MrBeast, offering a random amount of money to potential lucky winners. It seems too good to be true — and that’s because it is. Although the YouTuber has created a few advertisements of his own in the past (one of which got rejected from television), these random “giveaway” ads are not from him, and are a possible scam. MrBeast slams “scam” ads on YouTube Donaldson called out these false ads in a heated tweet on June 7, in response to a meme from Tesla CEO Elon Musk slamming YouTube’s alleged inaction over “scam ads.” “I’ve gotten fake ads of me giving away money at least a thousand times and feel bad for the hundreds of thousands of people that have been scammed,” the YouTuber wrote. “I’ve been screaming at them for forever to figure this out.” I’ve gotten fake ads of me giving away money at least a thousand times and feel bad for the hundreds of thousands of people that have been scammed :/ I’ve been screaming at them for forever to figure this out pic.twitter.com/sB1AAuquuK — MrBeast (@MrBeast) June 7, 2022 This isn’t the first time MrBeast has pointed out a major issue on YouTube; last month, the influencer called out “literal trash” accounts for using his image as their profile picture to make hurtful and harassing comments toward other YouTubers. I hate that my logo is used in this :/ I dream of the day that the YouTube comment section isn’t just literal trash — MrBeast (@MrBeast) May 9, 2022 While it’s unclear if YouTube will take any action against either these commenters or the “scam ads,” it looks like one of the biggest personalities on the site is fed up with them — and so is Musk, who’s also poised to buy Twitter in a groundbreaking purchase.

MrBeast hits out at scammers still using his name to con fans – Dexerto
MrBeast hits out at scammers still using his name to con fans MrBeastYouTube superstar Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has hit out at scammers for still using his name to try and pull a fast one on unsuspecting fans. Parodying and pretending to be someone you’re not has been an age-old pastime on the internet. However, in the age of influencers and platforms being weird about verification, things have gotten even more complicated. YouTube has become a new hunting ground for many scammers, as they routinely use fake adverts and videos to make it seem like you will strike it rich. Many of them promise you free cryptocurrencies or new game consoles, but they’re just fake. In the case of MrBeast, with him being massive on YouTube, Twitter/X, and Instagram, there are hundreds of accounts popping up and pretending to be him across all three. He’s hit out at those fake YouTube ads before, but the scam accounts are becoming more common on the other two. MrBeast says “screw scammers” still using his name The fake accounts target fans by telling them they could win big prizes – typically money, just like it’s one of his videos – or by asking you to help by sending the account money. It seems like a few have been trying to wrangle stuff off fans more regularly, as Jimmy posted an Instagram story to further warn fans about them. “Lots of people impersonate me! If you get a message from an account that’s not this one it’s not real. Screw scammers,” Jimmy said. The fake profiles may look like MrBeast’s account – using the same profile photo, bio, and other details – but the username will always have numbers at the end and it will never be verified. As convincing as it may seem to some, especially seeing as MrBeast has a legion of young fans, you do have to be extremely careful. So, sorry, no, you haven’t got a personal prize waiting from him.

MrBeast hints at follow-up Squid Game video after second season announcement – Dexerto
MrBeast hints at follow-up Squid Game video after second season announcement NetflixYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has teased a second Squid Game video following Netflix’s confirmation that another season of the Korean drama is in the works. Squid Game shocked the world last year, becoming the most famous show to air on Netflix only 12 days after its release. The Korean drama, which tasks 456 contestants with deadly challenges, quickly became a global phenomenon with the help of social media. Being so popular, we began seeing YouTube and TikTok creators post their own spin-off versions of the series. However, MrBeast easily took the crown all for himself, as his recreation of the hit show was almost identical to the original – and even got the seal of approval by Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk. With Netflix’s confirmation that the second season of Squid Game is on the way, it looks like MrBeast is looking to get in on the action and potentially make a follow-up to his best video yet. Shortly after Netflix’s big announcement on June 12, revealing that Squid Game had officially been renewed for a second season, the popular YouTube creator kindly requested for the show’s creators to make the challenges easier to recreate in real life. “Can you make the challenges easier to do IRL this time,” said the YouTube star in a tweet. Additionally, with the streaming giant’s announcement that fans can sign up for a chance to participate in a reality show based on the games within Squid Game, MrBeast showed keen interest in participating. “Let me be a part of one of the challenges please,” he tweeted to Netflix. Given that his last Squid Game video cost the YouTube star a staggering $3.5M, there’s no telling how much his follow-up video for season two will set him back. However, the amount of publicity his first rendition at recreating Squid Game got – amassing close to 260M views on YouTube at the time of writing, there’s no wonder he’s so keen to make another.

MrBeast responds after Samsung sponsorship sparks debate However, the sponsorship has sparked a bit of controversy. As noted by tech YouTuber Austin Evans, an article from The Verge called the deal “a ploy” to get the younger generation using Samsung devices. “The tone of this article is so condescending,” said Evans. “There’s nothing wrong with Samsung sponsoring the most popular YouTuber in the world. I bet whatever they paid.” He added: “MrBeast is a better ROI than the Samsung ads on The Verge.” Others also agreed, with fans explaining that the YouTuber will likely have the best return on investment given his sheer size. “No way, Samsung sponsoring the biggest youtuber out there? Probably best ROI you can find considering the views he pulls,” said one. “Only CPM better than a MrBeast sponsorship is TikTok organic,” wrote another. Surprisingly, MrBeast also clapped back, revealing that the cost per impression that Samsung is paying is arguably the best in the world, claiming that the video will likley amass hundreds of millions of views. “That video will probably get 400,000,000 views,” said the YouTube star. “The cost per impression for Samsung is arguably the best in the world lol.” That video will probably get 400,000,000 views.

MrBeast has viral videos “down to a science” but he’s not sharing his YouTube secrets – Dexerto
MrBeast has viral videos “down to a science” but he’s not sharing his YouTube secrets YouTube: IMPAULSIVEJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the biggest influencers on YouTube — but he’s not interested in giving away the “cheat sheet” he’s spent millions of dollars on perfecting to achieve viral content. Anyone who’s frequented YouTube for any amount of time has likely run into a MrBeast video. The North Carolina-based content creator boasts over 68 million subscribers on his main channel, and is best known for his philanthropic videos and insane challenges. He’s not shy of giving out hundreds of thousands of dollars to his friends or people in need, and has even started his very own charity. These exploits, alongside his average 490 million monthly views, have amassed a major YouTube empire that’s only getting bigger. However, it doesn’t look like the platform’s premier influencer is going to be giving away his trade secrets anytime soon. During an interview with Logan Paul on his IMPAULSIVE podcast, Donaldson admitted that he’s not interested in sharing his methods with his competitors. MrBeast reveals why he isn’t sharing his secret to YouTube success “The only downside is, a lot of people copy my every move,” he said when asked if he’d ever publish a behind-the-scenes documentary about himself. “I’ve spent five years building how we do everything, and I’ve spent tens of millions of dollars f**king up so I can learn from it, and hiring, and how we do things.” “For me to just show the thousands of creators coming for my neck exactly how I do everything would literally… [indiscernible].” MrBeast has created the “cheat sheet” to viral YouTube videos That’s not all; MrBeast also claimed he’s literally created the “cheat sheet” to creating viral content — and it’s thanks to his millions of dollars spent and multiple failures that he’s come this far. “I’ve literally been hiring and building systems for the last four to five years now to perfect how to make a viral video,” he explained. “We have it down to a science. So then, if you just see it, it’s like, ‘Oh. Now I know what to do.’ It’s easy to replicate it. Figuring it out took forever.” (Topic begins at 31:35) It’s easy to think MrBeast might be one of the richest YouTubers out there, but he very quickly claimed that, on paper, he’s one of the “poorest” creators in the site’s upper echelon, and spends roughly $4 million a month on producing his videos. That isn’t stopping him from his goal of becoming “the biggest YouTuber in the world in 10 years,” though — and it isn’t a stretch to think he might achieve this status someday.

MrBeast has perfect response to Kai Cenat asking for $100k at Sidemen Charity Match – Dexerto
MrBeast has perfect response to Kai Cenat asking for $100k at Sidemen Charity Match Instagram: mrbeastKai Cenat asked MrBeast for $100,000 at the Sidemen Charity Match, resulting in a hilarious reply from YouTube’s most-subscribed creator that left the internet in stitches. This year, MrBeast ranked as the world’s wealthiest YouTuber, as his net worth has been estimated to be $500 million. As for Kai Cenat, though he is popular on both Twitch and YouTube, his net worth is approximately $10 million … which low compared to MrBeast, who is also an entrepreneur with multiple businesses like MrBeast Burger and Feastables. Though the two online personalities United during the Sidemen Charity Match, Cenat took the opportunity to ask MrBeast for some extra money, which many TikTokers have found hilarious. MrBeast jokes with Kai Cenat about $100,000 being a “low” amount of money The Sidemen Charity Match has been in place since 2016. The soccer game hosts popular online personalities and aims to raise money for selected charities. This year, the match was held at West Ham’s London Stadium on September 9 and consisted of plenty of well-known streamers like MrBeast, Kai Cenat, KSI, IShowSpeed, and more. Though fan favorites like MrBeast and IShowSpeed faced off against each other, the match was able to raise almost $2 million in Euros during the first two hours of streaming the game. Donations were then given to charities like Rays of Sunshine, Brightside, the Teenage Cancer Trust, and the Campaign of Living Miserably. Most of the charity donations center around the youth to provide support for their adverse circumstances. Though the Sidemen Charity Match was to raise money for others, Cenat couldn’t help but ask the most popular YouTuber, MrBeast, for a little extra money for himself, asking, “Can I get $100,000?” To which Mr. Beast sarcastically responded, “They make money that low?” Cenat was then left in a state of comical embarrassment, watching MrBeast as he quickly scurried away. Luckily, Cenat caught the hilarious moment on video, later posting it online. Fans on TikTok have since reacted, laughing at Cenat’s attempt to ‘secure the bag,’ saying, “Kai doesn’t waste the chance.” Others were quick to notice the height difference between the two streamers, calling out Cenat for being much shorter than MrBeast, saying, “Me thinking MrBeast is tall, but really, Kai is short,” as well as, “Dang, how tall is MrBeast?” Though it’s clear that MrBeast wouldn’t be giving Cenat the $100,000 he asked him for, the two were able to raise an overall $2.4 million for their prospected charities, more than doubling last year’s amount at the Sidemen Charity Match.

MrBeast has surprising response to camgirl who approached him for donation video – Dexerto
MrBeast has surprising response to camgirl who approached him for donation video YouTube’s king of big-budget videos, MrBeast, is known for his generous social experiments, where he donates ludicrous amounts of cash to all manner of people in various scenarios. His antics recently caught the attention of self-described camgirl Ashley Haze, who tweeted at the YouTuber on November 9 and asked him to create a donation video for camgirls, specifically. “Sooooo… I have a GREAT idea for a video for you!” she wrote. “Do you know the wonderful world of camgirls?… How about a video of you tipping a random camgirl (me 🙈) and recording her reaction??… 💡 #Justsaying #wishfulthinking 🙏” Hi!! :raising_hand:♀️ @MrBeastYT Sooooo… I have a GREAT idea for a video for you!! Do you know the wonderful world of camgirls?… How about a video of you tipping a random camgirl (me :see_no_evil:) and recording her reaction??… :light_bulb: #Justsaying #wishfulthinking :pray: — Ashley_Haze (@ashley_haze) November 9, 2018 However, MrBeast had to turn Haze down, explaining that his ‘family-friendly’ channel would get demonetized for the potentially NSFW concept. “I can’t, you would get me demonetized,” he replied. “I’m a family friendly boi.” I can’t, you would get me demonetized, I’m a family friendly boi. — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) November 9, 2018 A few parents thanked MrBeast for his PG policy in the Tweet’s replies, while others suggested more ‘wholesome’ video concepts for the YouTuber to use. However, MrBeast may have also shunned the idea due to his recent stance on donation videos as a whole. He admitted that he has grown ‘numb’ to the experience of donating to streamers in a video he uploaded on November 4, claiming that it is ‘starting to lose its fun-ness.’ While MrBeast may not create any more stream donation videos in the future, he continues to wow YouTube with his insane shenanigans – the latest of which included a city-wide ad campaign to promote PewDiePie’s success over competitor channel T-Series.

MrBeast has Elon Musk actually paying for him to use Twitter – Dexerto
MrBeast has Elon Musk actually paying for him to use Twitter Instagram: MrBeast / TwitterElon Musk has subscribed to MrBeast on Twitter, meaning he is now making regular payments of five dollars a month to the YouTuber. MrBeast has interacted with Elon Musk several times, sometimes giving him advice on how to improve Twitter after his takeover. Now, it looks like Elon has taken this informal relationship a bit further, because the richest man in the world has subscribed to one of the biggest YouTubers in the world on Twitter, meaning he’ll have to start paying MrBeast five dollars a month. MrBeast reveals Elon Musk subscribed to him on Twitter In a tweet, MrBeast posted a screenshot of his subscribers tab, a feature available to Twitter users participating in the Subscriber Creator scheme, which showed that Elon had recently subscribed to him. This means Elon Musk now gets to see the exclusive content that MrBeast reserves for his biggest fans, in return for a monthly fee of five dollars. MrBeast has often spoken about how to make Twitter more creator-friendly, so perhaps Elon is hoping to pick up some tips on how to appeal to larger YouTubers. This could be the case, as Elon admitted that running Twitter had been a very stressful experience for him in the inital stages of the takeover, although he did say he was optimistic about the future. Addressing questions on Twitter’s finances, he said: “We’re headed to a good place. We’re roughly breaking even and trending to be cash flow positive very soon. Literally in a matter of months. “If Disney feels comfortable advertising children’s movies and Apple feels comfortable advertising iPhones that’s a good indicator that Twitter is a good place to advertise.” MrBeast has been active on Twitter lately after he defended his friend Chris Tyson from attacks over their hormone replacement therapy announcement. For more news and updates on MrBeast, check out our coverage of his response to the American version of Squid Game that’s being made.

MrBeast has perfect response to “fake” story claiming Chandler Hallow passed away Instagram: Chandler HollowYouTube sensation MrBeast had the perfect response to a fake photo that suggested close friend Chandler Hollow had died, shortly after the image went viral on Twitter. YouTube personality Chandler Hollow, 23, is best known for his frequent appearances alongside MrBeast, earning himself over 8.6 million fans on TikTok with an added 3.4 million followers on Instagram. On March 13th, an image of a photoshopped BBC article started to circulate which claimed Hollow had been “shot dead,” instantly making the post generate reactions across social media. MrBeast, and especially Hollow, weren’t exactly convinced on the accuracy of the story the image claimed. MrBeast reacts to Chandler Hollows “fake” death On Monday, March 14th, 2022, Hollow took to Twitter to denounce the circulating rumors that he had died, sarcastically tweeting “just found out I died.” The fake BBC article quickly caught the attention of MrBeast himself, sparking a well-thought-out and overall hilarious response, with the YouTuber commenting “sorry for making you eat 10,000 pickles in 5 hours.” Many fans could tell that the Tweet was fake, sparking a mix of reactions. “Why does the BBC have a Mr beast correspondent?” one commenter said. “The bigger question is, why is this in the entertainment and arts section,” another fan stated. The BBC responds to “fake” news article After amassing over 300,000 likes on Twitter, Mark Savage, a music correspondent for the BBC, responded to the dubious article by saying: “This is totally fake.

MrBeast handpicks Airrack as next FaZe Clan member – Dexerto
MrBeast handpicks Airrack as next FaZe Clan member YouTube: TMG Studios, AirrackYouTube star MrBeast was invited to the FaZe Warehouse to officially induct the org’s next member — and he chose fellow content creator Airrack. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the most prominent creators on YouTube. Boasting over 186 million subscribers across 5 separate channels, he’s become a household name for his over-the-top content and expensive projects. As one of YouTube’s elite, it makes sense that he’d pay attention to other creators on the platform… something that esports and entertainment giant FaZe Clan took notice of. FaZe invited Donaldson out to their warehouse in Los Angeles to give him the grand tour of their HQ — but they couldn’t do this without busting his chops a little bit. FaZe hired a mariachi band, a group of elderly actors, and even rented out some baby goats, all of which they placed in separate rooms throughout the warehouse to throw MrBeast off his game. MrBeast chooses FaZe Clan’s next member At the end of the tour, FaZe gave MrBeast the opportunity to choose the next member of their group — a pretty big honor for YouTube’s second-most subscribed influencer. After thinking it over for a bit, MrBeast chose Airrack as the next FaZe inductee, and called the YouTuber over the phone to deliver the news. Of course, Airrack accepted, making him the next official member of FaZe Clan. Airrack is a fairly popular YouTuber, who currently boasts just over 10 million subscribers. Like MrBeast, Airrack is known for orchestrating wild challenges with pretty big prizes at the end, as seen in his video trapping 100 unsuspecting people in a dark room with the option of winning $10,000 in cash. It’s unclear what’s next for Airrack after joining FaZe, but it’s clear that the org has picked up a heavy hitter. MrBeast’s latest big move follows another major moment for the star, who was recently valued at $20 billion by experts at Valuetainment.

MrBeast hangs up on iShowSpeed after FaceTime call gets strange – Dexerto
MrBeast hangs up on iShowSpeed after FaceTime call gets strange YouTube: Speedy BoykinsYouTube stars MrBeast and iShowSpeed got together for an unexpected FaceTime call — but MrBeast bounced after things got a bit wild. iShowSpeed dominated the competition at the recent Sidemen Charity football match in September, thoroughly trouncing rival YouTuber KSI in spite of a close loss for his team, the All-Stars. Both he and fellow creator MrBeast participated in the massive event, which saw a total of 34 influencers raise £1 million for charity. Since then, it looks like the two YouTubers have become somewhat close… at least, close enough to warrant a FaceTime call between them. Speed connected with MrBeast in a brief call during one of his recent live streams — but things didn’t go according to many fans’ expectations. MrBeast & iShowSpeed FaceTime call ends in hilarious way At first, the two began a regular conversation, asking each other how they were doing. However, Speed quickly started up with his usual antics, moving his mouth without making any sounds as though to trick MrBeast into thinking they were experiencing technical difficulties. Unfortunately for Speed, MrBeast didn’t fall for the prank, noticing that he could still hear noise in the background. That’s when Speed started randomly barking at MrBeast, sparking some hilarious reactions from his chat. MrBeast stayed on the line until Speed was done barking before hitting him with: “Speed, are you just mad you didn’t win the jet?” The YouTube celebrity left his buddy with that comment and promptly ended the call, sparking a humorous, joking tirade from the other influencer. “He just hung up!” Speed shouted. “Hey MrBeast, hey bruh! Watch when I see him, dog. Watch when I see him, bro!” MrBeast is known for giving away luxury items like cars and even private islands — so it’s not a stretch for him to tease his friend about missing out on one of his famous giveaways. It’s unclear if we’ll see these two in a video sometime soon, but considering that MrBeast has asked Dream to guest star in future uploads, there’s no telling who he’ll ask to join in the future.

MrBeast gives bizarre $10k reward in epic Minecraft survival challenge – Dexerto
MrBeast gives bizarre $10k reward in epic Minecraft survival challenge YouTube: MrBeast GamingMrBeast has unleashed yet another crazy Minecraft challenge on his subscribers and friends over on his gaming channel, pitting them against each other on sky-high mini islands to be the the last one standing, and win a huge $10,000 gift card. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has become well-known on YouTube for his bizarre challenges that often has his friends and subscribers battling each other, or enduring a difficult feat in order to win an enormous prize (or avoid an embarrassing punishment.) In previous challenges on his main channel he’s had volunteers compete to remain on a $700,000 island for the longest time to win the grand prize of the island itself. He’s also brought the craziness over to his more recent gaming channel where he installed a GTA V chaos mod onto his friends’ computers, and had them battle it out to win the most in-game cash to avoid having to stand at the side of the road in a hotdog costume with an embarrassing sign. The arena for this particular challenge was Minecraft, where Jimmy had set up 100 tiny sky islands with limited resources. The aim was for the players to fight each other to the death, the last person standing to win a $10,000 dollar Taco Bell gift card that would ensure they’re “able to eat Taco Bell for free until they die” according to Mr Beast. One of the first to go was Jimmy’s friend Chandler, not even lasting a minute before he was knocked over the edge after players began building bridges to each other’s islands. At one point with ten people left in the game, Jimmy decided to speak to one of the players directly and ask how they felt being so close to the prize. But as his friends cried “don’t pay attention to Jimmy,” one wrong slip left the player plunging to their death. After a brutal lava battle, player bitterlimey was deemed the winner of the huge gift card, who ironically had never been to Taco Bell before, though he likely won’t be able to get enough of it after this challenge. MrBeast began making YouTube videos in 2012 at the age of just 13, and in his stint on the platform has amassed over 43 million subscribers on his main channel, and a further seven million on his gaming channel.

MrBeast gives Elon Musk advice to beat TikTok after teasing Vine comeback – Dexerto
MrBeast gives Elon Musk advice to beat TikTok after teasing Vine comeback YouTube: Mr Beast/PewDiePieYouTube phenom Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has handed Elon Musk some advice on beating TikTok if he’s serious about bringing Vine back. There have been quite a few interesting crossovers between YouTubers and celebrities in the last few years, but MrBeast and Elon Musk seem to have struck up an actual friendship. The YouTube star has been giving the SpaceX boss quite a hand with his internet profile over the last few years, revealing how he could get involved with the MrBeast YoUtube channel and even build his own if he wants. Now that Musk has finally gone through with his reported $44 billion purchase of Twitter, he’s teased the revival of Vine – the seven-second video-sharing platform that spawned a massive amount of iconic clips. MrBeast explains how Elon Musk can beat TikTok after Vine revival tease The South African business magnate ran a poll on October 30, asking if he should bring back the now-defunct platform. Voters were overwhelmingly in favor of bringing it back. As the result became clear, MrBeast weighed in and said it would be “hilarious” if Musk did that and tried to compete with TikTok – which plenty of users see as the spiritual successor to Vine. The new Twitter boss quickly asked for some advice on that front, to which MrBeast said: “No one is original anymore, whatever you do will be on every other platform the next month unless it has a deep moat. “YouTube has shorts, Insta has reels, Reddit, Snapchat, Facebook, etc. all copied TT. Whatever you do, make it hard to copy or it’s a waste of time imo.” Musk didn’t have any response for MrBeast’s advice, nor is it likely that he’ll revive Vine anytime soon, but it could be something to consider as he shapes the future of Twitter. There have already been reports on what steps he might take to change the social media platform, so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Mr Beast gives away more money than ever to US families in need – Dexerto
Mr Beast gives away more money than ever to US families in need MrBeast, YouTubeYouTube star Jimmy ‘Mr Beast’ Donaldson has returned with yet another incredibly charitable act, donating over $1 million worth of food to different food banks for families in need. Mr Beast has amassed a massive following of over 30 million followers on his YouTube channel for his unusual and highly entertaining challenge videos. However, the popular content creator is also known for his incredible acts of kindness and in his March 28 upload he set out to help more people than ever before. For his latest video, Mr Beast revealed that he and his friends would be taking on the enormous task of donating over 1 million meals to different food banks. He highlighted that many food banks across the US had been receiving fewer donations with the ongoing pandemic, as people have started to stock up on future supplies for themselves. “Due to recent events, lots of people have started to hoard food and when you hoard food, you donate less, he shared, explaining his decision to take action on the major issue. The YouTuber hired six semi-trucks and began stocking up on different protein products before dropping off each of the meals, adding, “now more than ever food banks genuinely need our help.” After making their first stop at a local food bank, Mr Beast revealed that a single pallet on their trucks could hold an impressive amount of food equaling 7,000 meals worth of protein, “these pallets have thousands of servings of protein in them and they’re going to impact a lot of lives.” Mr Beast later revealed that they would be launching a “good food challenge” alongside Smithfield encouraging people to help those in need and if they reached their goal of a million dollars they would donate another million meals to food banks affected by the pandemic. This is not the first time he has raised money for a good cause, as the YouTuber was also behind the viral Team Trees movement which raised over $21 million to plant trees and combat climate change.

After years of orchestrating insane challenges like the star-studded Creator Games, starting his own fast food chain, and even founding his own charity, MrBeast finally reached the coveted 100 million subscriber mark last week. To celebrate, Donaldson promised fans his most “insane” video ever… and he delivered just a week later. MrBeast uploaded his highly-anticipated video on August 4, in which he flew out one hundred of his subscribers to compete for a private island he’d bought just for this occasion.

The competition ended with the remaining participants finding a hidden Play button buried on the island. After the winner finally uncovered it, MrBeast showed off the shiny red trophy to his fans and thanked them for “over a decade” of his life on the platform. This is just the tip of the iceberg for MrBeast, whose channel has already reached 101 million YouTube subscribers in the week following his big achievement on the platform. This makes MrBeast the second most-subscribed independent creator on the platform, following right behind Swedish creator Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, who recognized his achievements ahead of his milestone last year. The sky’s the limit for MrBeast — and only time will tell where his already prolific career will take him next.

In January of this year, MrBeast announced his latest business endeavor: a chocolate bar line called Feastables. But of course, the internet celebrity’s brand of snacks would have a Willy Wonka-esque twist. Each candy bar would come with a code. This code could then be entered on the Feastables website for a chance to win a prize. One of the grand prizes up for grabs was one of ten spots in a MrBeast video, where you would compete for a real Chocolate Factory.

Eventually, due to the influx of users all attempting to check out at once, the website crashed booting them out of checkout screens and back to the main page. These unlucky shoppers shared their anguish in the replies to MrBeast’s tweet, and before they knew it, the flash sale was over.

MrBeast gives away mega Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory replica in insane challenge – Dexerto
MrBeast gives away mega Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory replica in insane challenge YouTube: MrBeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson finally revealed his replica Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory, and after putting Golden Ticket holders through a series of challenges, he gave it away (for a moment). MrBeast’s fans have been going wild ever since he offered a sneak peek at the replica Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory he was building for his next YouTube video. The hype grew even more after he announced Gordon Ramsay would be involved somehow. The video finally dropped on June 4, and similar to the plot of the classic tale, it revolved around pitting golden ticket holders against each other across a series of challenges inside the factory for a chance to win it. For the first challenge, the Golden Ticket holders played hide-and-seek inside the factory, revealing all of its stunning features. This included chocolate rivers and waterfalls, a marshmallow room, and a whole lot more. After that, they rock-climbed a wall made entirely from candy, had a race to see who could gobble the most chocolate, and had a crack at tossing gigantic Mentos mints into the world’s largest Coca-Cola bottle. Next, they competed against each other in a balance endurance test and had to pick from a row of toilets to see which ones were real and which one was made from cake, bringing the total number of survivors left to three. In the final challenge, they duked it out in a classic cook-off where they had to create Willy Wonka-themed dishes that were judged by none other than Gordon Ramsay himself, which determined the winner. MrBeast handed the ecstatic winner the deed to the factory. However, after explaining that it would cost an absurd amount of money to maintain the factory, MrBeast offered to buy back the deed for $500,000, and the winner accepted. It was another action-packed thrill ride from start to finish, and much like MrBeast’s Squid Game challenge, it was an enormous hit among fans, drawing more than ten million views on the first day alone.

MrBeast gives away $100k prize just for a game of tag – Dexerto
MrBeast gives away $100k prize just for a game of tag YouTube: MrBeastYouTube MrBeast has given away $100k to the lucky winner of an insane game of tag, set in an abandoned hospital. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of YouTube’s most popular creators, with almost 60 million subscribers on his main channel alone — and that’s not including his gaming and charity channels. He’s best known for splashing the cash on friends, fans, and even strangers by setting them challenges. The YouTube sensation isn’t afraid to up the stakes of an already exciting video with the promise of a huge prize, and that’s exactly what he did for his latest video. Jimmy set his friends and other creators, including Karl Jacobs and Minecraft YouTuber Sapnap, the challenge of playing a huge game of tag in an abandoned hospital. The building had over 100 rooms and six different buildings surrounding it, making for an even more exciting game. The last person to be tagged by MrBeast would be considered the winner, so when the game began, the players took off at insane speeds down the abandoned hallways so they could get as far away from him as possible. Some fled to the room, others hid in tight spots, while some stayed constantly on the move. While it was near-impossible to grab everyone, one by one Jimmy picked off each player with the help of Chris, looking exhausted by all the chasing. Jimmy came incredibly close to spotting Sapnap who was hiding under some stairs, but at the last minute, he walked away, meaning that the YouTuber got to remain in the game. Although he came close to losing, it was eventually Sapnap who was crowned the winner of the extreme game of tag, meaning he won the crazy $100k prize. He even called fellow Minecraft YouTuber Dream at the end of the video to let him know he’d won, and he seemed baffled by the news. But in true MrBeast spirit, Jimmy ended up giving everyone who participated in the game $5000 each, meaning they didn’t have to leave empty-handed. The large-scale game of tag was a tense one, and viewers are now interested to see what interesting locations the YouTuber will pick for his future videos.

MrBeast gives away $25,000 car to strongman who deadlifts it with YouTuber inside – Dexerto
MrBeast gives away $25,000 car to strongman who deadlifts it with YouTuber inside YouTube: MrBeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson gave away a $25,000 car to professional strongman and four-time World’s Strongest Man competition winner Brian Shaw after he deadlifted it with him and his friends inside. MrBeast is no stranger to doing insane giveaways. In 2021 alone, he’s done everything from letting fans open super-expensive mystery boxes to hosting an insane game of tag that saw the winner receive $100,000 and more. He continued that trend in a YouTube video posted on July 25 that involved fans completing challenges for a chance to win exorbitant amounts of cash and expensive prizes. The standout moment was seeing professional strongman Brian Shaw deadlift a $25,000 car with MrBeast and his crew inside. MrBeast hooked up the car to a deadlift bar and told Shaw that he could keep it if he could deadlift it at least once. Not only did he do that with relative ease, but he also deadlifted it another ten times with MrBeast, Chandler Hallow, and Chris Tyson inside and passed the challenge with flying colors. Read More: How does MrBeast make money? – MrBeast had no choice but to hand him the keys and watch him struggle to fit inside the car before leaving him to drive off. “Never did think it’d be harder for someone to sit in a car than it is for them to lift a car,” he joked. The segment begins at 2:38. Shaw was thrilled to earn himself a prize without breaking too much of a sweat. After all, deadlifting a car isn’t that out of the ordinary for professional strongmen. Read More: MrBeast’s top 10 most popular YouTube videos – They also lift boulders, logs, enormous tires, and even drag planes and trains from time to time. But that doesn’t make it any less impressive.

MrBeast gifts Ludwig a full YouTube video that cost him $1 million to make – Dexerto
MrBeast gifts Ludwig a full YouTube video that cost him $1 million to make YouTube: LudwigRather than scrapping a YouTube video that cost a full $1 million to produce, MrBeast instead decided to give the entire project to Ludwig for him to upload free of charge. When it comes to MrBeast’s output, almost every video that goes live on his main YouTube channel becomes a viral hit. From building Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory to the unforgettable Squid Game in real-life video, his large-scale productions are almost always met with success. While he’s now in the history books as the second individual YouTuber to reach 100 million subscribers on the platform, that’s not to say that everything he touches turns to gold. In fact, a new collaboration with fellow social media star Ludwig has revealed quite the opposite. A project titled: “I Buried $100,000, Go Find It” was filmed in North Carolina recently. This was intended to be another hit for MrBeast’s own channel. However, fans won’t find it anywhere on his account. Instead, the full project has now been uploaded through Ludwig’s YouTube channel. “I spent over $1m filming this video but didn’t like how it turned out,” MrBeast revealed in the brief introduction. Rather than completely scrapping the edit and moving on, he decided to essentially gift it to another popular YouTuber in Ludwig. “I can’t believe I scammed MrBeast into giving me a free video,” Ludwig joked in the video’s description. That means all advertising revenue, all subscriber gains, and all additional clout is now Ludwig’s and Ludwig’s alone, despite it not being his video. MrBeast’s reasoning is because “[Ludwig] flew to North Carolina” to be a part of this massive production. Thus, he felt it was right to let him promote it instead. After a few seconds with Ludwig on screen at the very beginning, the rest of the near-12-minute upload is exactly what you would expect from any given MrBeast video. The editing, the thumbnail, the high stakes of a $100,000 challenge, it’s a MrBeast upload through and through. Making his predictions during an earlier livestream, Ludwig believes the video will go on to reach “2-3 million views in 24 hours” before soaring to “14 million” in its first month.

MrBeast gives $10,000 to struggling restaurant for Keith Lee viral challenge – Dexerto
MrBeast gives $10,000 to struggling restaurant for Keith Lee viral challenge Instagram: keith_lee125YouTube star MrBeast awarded $10,000 to owners of a struggling Las Vegas restaurant as part of food reviewer Keith Lee’s viral challenge toward him. MrBeast’s long-awaited collaboration with internet-famous food reviewer Keith Lee has finally come to fruition — and it’s sparking smiles all over social media. For those out of the loop, Keith Lee is an MMA fighter-turned-TikTok star who uses his online fame to help struggling restaurants in the Las Vegas area where he lives. During his rise to stardom, he caught the attention of Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson, YouTube’s most-subscribed independent creator and a big philanthropist (having just paid for 1,000 people’s cataract surgeries last week). MrBeast finally collabs with Keith Lee in viral TikTok challenge When he suggested that Keith review his line of Feastables chocolate bars, Keith hit him back with a strict condition: “You come out to Vegas, you help me find a struggling, family-owned business, and we make it an un-struggling family-owned business.” It looks like MrBeast has held up his end of the bargain after uploading a video with Keith to TikTok on February 1, 2023. In preparation for their collab, Lee reviewed a total of ten restaurants and put them on an Instagram poll, giving fans the chance to vote for their favorites… and MrBeast gave the winner a huge reward. In their collaborative video, MrBeast and Keith Lee chowed down on some tacos from Aloha Mamacita, a fusion restaurant based out of Las Vegas. After admitting that he’d only ever had Taco Bell, MrBeast couldn’t help but give the restaurant a 10/10. According to Lee, Aloha Mamacita took 1st place in his Instagram poll, raking in over 32,698 votes — and winning a whopping $10,000 from MrBeast, who handed them a silver suitcase with the cash in an emotional moment that had Lee choking up. Now, it’s Keith’s turn to review MrBeast’s Feastables bars… but there’s no telling if his verdict will be the same as Chef Gordon Ramsay’s.

MrBeast gets surprise response from Jeff Bezos after his $1bn request – Dexerto
MrBeast gets surprise response from Jeff Bezos after his $1bn request YouTube: MrBeast/Flickr: Steve JurvetsonMrBeast put out a tweet in July saying that it “feels like a great day for Jeff Bezos to give me a billion dollars” — and it didn’t take long for the Amazon founder and former CEO of the company to get back to him. Jeff Bezos was once the richest man in the world, and is now down to a low of just the third-richest with his meager $150bn net worth. He’s been overtaken by Elon Musk whose net worth is ranked at $253bn according to Forbes, as well as LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton CEO Bernard Arnault & family. In the YouTube world though, MrBeast is the resident rich list leader, regularly posting huge videos that cost millions of dollars, and giving away even more. That said, though, never one to not take an opportunity, MrBeast decided to post his tweet saying that it is “a great day for Jeff Bezos to give me a billion dollars for fun” — but he probably didn’t expect anything to ever come from it. Two days later, though, MrBeast posted a screenshot that could imply Bezos had seen his tweet, showing that the billionaire had followed him back on Twitter, presumably after seeing his tweet. Bezos didn’t publicly respond to MrBeast’s tweet, but it’s certainly possible that they had a private conversation behind closed doors. MrBeast is someone that continually pushes the boundaries of what can happen on YouTube and has made some groundbreaking content, but a collaboration with Jeff Bezos and his vast fortune could really help him create one of the wildest YouTube videos we’ve ever seen. It looks like everything is headed in the right direction for MrBeast, who also recently showed off before and after pictures of his impressive healthy lifestyle change.

MrBeast gets over 1 billion views in a single month on YouTube – Dexerto
MrBeast gets over 1 billion views in a single month on YouTube MrBeastYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson managed to rack up over 1 billion views across his channels in March as he continues his global dominance of the platform. Over the last few years, MrBeast has become one of YouTube’s biggest name thanks to his outrageous videos where he challenges his friends and strangers to complete tasks in order to win money and prizes. Even though videos on his main channel can be a little infrequent, whenever he drops a new video, Jimmy immediately takes over YouTube and can occupy a spot on the trending page for a few days as everyone flocks to watch what wacky idea he’s come up with this time. While he’s had some decent success away from the video-sharing platform, mainly with his MrBeast Burger and Team Tress ventures, it’s the videos that keep MrBeast in the spotlight – and he’s had some amazing success recently. Jimmy, who has stated that it’s his goal to become the biggest YouTuber of all time, has started branching out away from his main channel and now has 10 accounts under his belt – including a few secondary language channels. In March, those channels managed to combine for over 1 billion views – well, 1,035,525,614 views if you want to be exact using SocialBlade stats – with his main Mr Beast channel chipping in over 275 million views alone. His secondary language channels have also seen some pretty nice success recently too. The ‘Mr Beast en Espanol’ channel racked up over 167 million in March alone, while his ‘Mr Beast Brasil’ account also chipped in with a touch over 66 million views. The growth isn’t set to stop anytime soon, though, as Donaldson recently revealed that he’ll be starting a Hindi language channel next to go along with his Spanish, French, and Portuguese channels. He is way on his way to completing his goal of being the biggest YouTuber ever, it seems it’ll just be the case of how high he can set the bar.

MrBeast gets insane luck after opening $250K mystery box – Dexerto
MrBeast gets insane luck after opening $250K mystery box Instagram: mrbeastYouTube philanthropist Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson bought $500,000 worth of mystery boxes, containing completely unknown prizes. The final box, which he kept for himself, contained some insane prizes. MrBeast is one of YouTube’s most famous figures. Whether he’s completing some crazy challenge, like literally burying himself alive, or making people’s lives better, like giving a stranger an entire house, he’s always making some of YouTube’s most entertaining content. In his latest video, MrBeast really outdid himself. He purchased $500k worth of mystery boxes, each containing various types of goods, gave most of them away to strangers and family members of his crew. The luck in these crates varied, however. A $10k crate could contain anything from an ultra-rare Pokemon card to several tonnes of fortune cookies. MrBeast needed his luck to be in for this investment to be worth it. Having given away mystery boxes to others, MrBeast decided to keep the final prize for himself. In fact, the last crate was so large, it took over two months to ship in all the prizes and the entire thing had to be constructed directly from his warehouse. However, it’s fair to say the effort was justified, as MrBeast opened the box to reveal some insane goods hidden inside. The crate contained two Lamborghinis; one of which was a legendary supercar, the Lamborghini Gallardo, the other a tractor. As co-star Chris Tyson explained, Lamborghini started out as a tractor company before moving into cars. For mobile users, segment starts at 10:14 The tractor also had four leaf blowers hidden in the front loader, and was decorated with farm equipment including hay bales and buckets of paint. Lamborghini Gallardos, while out of production, can be worth over $190,000, with the tractor worth roughly $50,000. All-in-all, not a bad prize. MrBeast has a history with Lamborghinis in his challenges. The YouTuber once gave away a Lamborghini in a crazy racing challenge, and in another video donated a Lamborghini Huracan to a person he’d driven around for free. Having given so many of these cars way over the years, however, it’d be understandable if MrBeast wanted to keep this Lamborghini Gallardo for himself.

MrBeast gave away so much chocolate he had to issue an advisory – Dexerto
MrBeast gave away so much chocolate he had to issue an advisory Instagram: feastablesYouTube star MrBeast has sent fans a warning after accidentally giving away too many of his Feastables chocolate bars, crashing his website in the process. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is scrambling to send his fans their chocolate bars after accidentally giving away too many. On April 15, the YouTube star revealed that he was orchestrating a flash sale for his new line of Feastables chocolate bars, possibly in an attempt to send out a “golden ticket” — a grand prize that would give one lucky buyer the chance to tour MrBeast’s very own chocolate factory. However, the sale wasn’t your usual BOGO or 50% off. Instead, Donaldson was literally giving away chocolate bars for a period of just ten minutes. For the next 10 minutes use coupon code “FREE” and get 100% off our Feastables chocolate and free shipping 🙂 I’ll lose a bunch of $ with each order but I want to give some of you that couldn’t afford our chocolate a chance to get some ❤️❤️❤️https://t.co/PqfLIIFHu4 — MrBeast (@MrBeast) April 15, 2022 Unfortunately, the flash sale was a little too successful, as fans literally broke the website. A few days later, MrBeast sent buyers a mass email telling them that they might be seeing some delays and changes in their chocolate order due to the entire candy-coated debacle. MrBeast issues advisory email after website-breaking chocolate giveaway That’s not all; Donaldson also revealed that his team had successfully given away a whopping 1 million chocolate bars as a result of the flash sale. “Don’t worry, everyone is getting an order shipped over the next few days, but the items may be different or you may get less than the 100 boxes you may have ordered,” the email read. The message went on to assure fans that they may mistakenly get a cancellation email and reiterated that everyone will still receive a chocolate order. On the official website, it looks like just about every item is out of stock, with both individual bars and variety packs boasting a “notify when available” notice. It’s unclear exactly how much money MrBeast lost out on this endeavor, but it certainly made for an unforgettable moment in internet history. We’ll just have to wait and see if any of the fans who took advantage of the flash sale ended up with one of the three remaining golden tickets.

MrBeast gave Kai Cenat his credit card & Twitch star has plans on how to spend big – Dexerto
MrBeast gave Kai Cenat his credit card & Twitch star has plans on how to spend big Twitch: Kai CenatMrBeast gave Kai Cenat his credit card in an unreleased video and the Twitch star has announced he’s planning on spreading love to his community in New York City. Teased in early June, MrBeast revealed he had finished filming his “biggest video yet” which featured a who’s who of the internet’s biggest names such as KSI, Chunkz, and Ibai. Kai Cenat was also one of the contestants in the yet-to-be-released video. After Kai Cenat finally completed his marathon run of the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, he revealed live on Twitch how he plans to celebrate. It turns out, he was given MrBeast’s credit card and is planning on spending all the money in support of his community, matching every dollar he spends. “I asked MrBeast for his credit card, and guess what I’m going to do?” Kai told his housemates and over 200,000 viewers watching live on June 25. ”I’m about to go back to the hood and I’m copping everybody mad s***.” “Not only that, whatever money is on this credit card, I’ll match it,” Kai continued. “Look, there’s a certain amount of money on the credit card that he gave me right, and whatever is on here, I’m gonna match it. If it’s a hundred, I’ll match it, if it’s a million… I don’t got a million,” he joked. This isn’t the first time MrBeast has given his credit card as a reward to an influencer as a prize. In 2022, Beta Squad’s Chunkz got MrBeast’s credit card as a reward for tapping out of a challenge video. The influencer went on a shopping spree with IShowSpeed after they both were eliminated early from the competition. In Chunkz’s video, he spent more than $120,000 of MrBeast’s money on clothes, jewelry, and even giving back to his subscribers, but didn’t reach the card’s limit. So there’s no telling what the limit might be for the card Kai Cenat now has control of.

MrBeast fans make hilarious mistake after “free store” announcement – Dexerto
MrBeast fans make hilarious mistake after “free store” announcement MrBeast, YouTube / FreepikPopular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is best known for giving away insane amounts of cash and orchestrating impossible challenges – two concepts that he combined in an upcoming video, which resulted in some confusion from bystanders. MrBeast uploaded a video in late January, where he opened a store that sold a plethora of expensive items like HD televisions, game consoles, and other valuables for just one dollar each. While the video itself went over well – especially for his customers – MrBeast wasn’t satisfied with the final product, later bringing the concept back with a major change. Instead of selling items for just one dollar, MrBeast decided to give the products away for free, claiming that he “didn’t want people to not be able to afford stuff.” However, MrBeast’s plan encountered some unexpected potholes, along the way – most notably due to some widespread confusion over the store’s operating times and location. I’m opening another store but this time everything is free. It was $1 last time and I don’t want people to not be able to afford stuff. pic.twitter.com/QvtVCfLz1I — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) June 6, 2019 MrBeast uploaded a video outside of the store on June 6, showing a massive line of people waiting in line for a chance at copping the free goodies. Despite their enthusiasm, the YouTuber had to let them know that the store won’t open until June 7 – likely resulting in some disappointment from those assembled. That wasn’t the only issue that MrBeast ran into with his new project, either: according to the YouTuber, some fans went back to the previous location of his $1 store from January, doubtlessly prompting some understandable confusion from its current tenant. “The free store isn’t at the same place as the last one!” MrBeast announced. “Someone told me that there was a huge line at the old store. The owner of that barber shop is probably super confused lol.” The free store isn’t at the same place as the last one! Someone told me that there was a huge line at the old store :sweat_smile: The owner of that barber shop is probably super confused lol — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) June 6, 2019 This wouldn’t be the first time one of MrBeast’s crazy videos has incited some curiosity and confusion from participants, by far; in fact, the YouTuber uploaded a video offering bystanders $10,000 in a briefcase without saying a word in late April, causing some bystanders to give serious thought before taking the cash. MrBeast is one of YouTube’s most popular creators by far, boasting over 19 million subscribers on the platform as of June 6.

MrBeast & friends build “world’s largest LEGO tower” for $50k challenge – Dexerto
MrBeast & friends build “world’s largest LEGO tower” for $50k challenge MrBeast, YouTubeAlways in the spirit of giving (and quirky challenges), MrBeast challenged his friends to create the “world’s largest LEGO tower” for a fat $50,000 prize. MrBeast trucked in thousands of jumbo LEGO bricks, organized some friends and put $50,000 on the line for yet another wacky challenge. Split into teams, each squad was given 12 hours to build a tower as tall as possible—with the help of heavy machinery and individual inventiveness. For one team, that inventiveness included sneaking quick-dry cement into their tower’s foundation, for the other, it included an innovative architectural decision: building out two towers and then connecting them, hopefully for enhanced structural integrity. In typical MrBeast fashion, the challenge had a series of mini-challenges in which teams tried building as high as possible in order not to lose a teammate for 30 minutes or took turns throwing bowling balls and swinging sledge hammers at each other’s ongoing construction. An expert in motivational tactics, MrBeast’s challenging acts of destruction only served to prepare the teams for what would eventually be a long build into a rainy night. After a series of tumultuous happenings, each tower having its turn falling either due to a gust of wind or the weight of itself, one tower (and team) was crowned the winner at 29 feet and 5.5 inches. As for the losing tower? 29 feet and 4.5 inches. Ultimately, just one inch separated the winners from the losers and got briefcases of money divvied out. And, as is tradition, the winners had just one hour to spend that money. One of the winners gave his cut to his brother, in order to help him pay off his student loan debts. Another spent all of his winnings on a one-year rental of a house for his mother to live in. Another gave $4,000 to his brother to help him buy a car and $10,000 to his mother to help compensate for her current loss of work. And the last winner…bought himself a car. But, to be fair, he didn’t already own one and the force must be balanced: they can’t all be completely selfless. As for MrBeast’s own selflessness, many have asked about his efforts during a global movement and the popular YouTuber has already pledged $150,000 to organizations and small businesses.

MrBeast feeds hundreds of Hurricane Ida survivors with help from Philanthropy YouTube channel – Dexerto
MrBeast feeds hundreds of Hurricane Ida survivors with help from Philanthropy YouTube channel YouTube: Beast PhilanthropyJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is back at it again with his charity work, this time aiding survivors of the recent Hurricane Ida in New Orleans with help from his Beast Philanthropy YouTube channel. MrBeast is one of the most popular content creators on YouTube right now. Aside from his high-stakes challenges with half-million dollar prizes, he’s also known for the multiple charitable works he’s performed throughout his local community. MrBeast has done everything from opening up free car dealerships and free banks to literally tipping an entire house to a pizza delivery man who needed a new place. Now, the influencer has kickstarted another channel with a focus specifically on charity. His philanthropic projects are completely funded through views from said channel, which allow him to feed those in need from his very own food bank. Rather than staying local, though, MrBeast sent his Beast Philanthropy team to help survivors of Hurricane Ida, a category 4 storm that became the second-most damaging hurricane to make landfall in Louisiana this August. Right now, New Orleans is still reeling from the aftermath of the damaging hurricane, prompting MrBeast to do everything in his power to help those displaced by the storm. Beast Philanthropy partnered with the World Central Kitchen to help cook thousands of meals for those in need. WCK cooked up 25,000 meals to service 100 communities thanks to MrBeast’s help, and the crew passed out over 700 meals themselves. That’s not all; MrBeast’s team donated $5k and $10k to two women in need whose homes had been severely damaged by the storm, making for a truly tear-jerking, feel-good moment. The crew even drove around to pass out MrBeast burgers for hungry citizens and later hit up an animal shelter to donate some food for abandoned or misplaced pets. All in all, it looks like MrBeast’s latest venture has been met with major acclaim from fans, who helped fund the venture with their own views. Here’s to Donaldson doing even more important work in the future.

The 23-year-old internet personality is now expanding his presence beyond YouTube and onto more business-oriented platforms. MrBeast joins Linkedin for behind the scenes exclusives On February 24, Donaldson created two Linkedin accounts – the first serving as his personal account and the second serving as his company profile.

View this post on Instagram On Donaldson’s secondary page he lists positions that his company is hiring for, such as video and media production openings. If you work in online video production or run a production company I need help with a big coming up video! Reply to this tweet with your experience, I have someone looking thru replies ❤️ — MrBeast (@MrBeast) February 15, 2022 While the platform has onboarded celebrity talent such as Ryan Reynolds and Selena Gomez in the past, Donaldson isn’t currently being sponsored or paid by the company to launch the profiles, according to Tubefilter. “Creators like MrBeast are not only making amazing content that captures the eyes of millions of people every day but they’re building companies, connecting with brands, learning how to invest, and most importantly, engaging their communities of fans and followers,” a representative from Linkedin told Tubefilter. While creators can’t monetize off of ads, they can host exclusive work seminars, connect with potential investors, and showcase their brand to millions. Donaldson continues to set the bar time and time again with his YouTube videos and has even been recently counseling smaller creators on the platform.

MrBeast promises to fix Feastables UK issues as it keeps selling out – Dexerto
MrBeast promises to fix Feastables UK issues as it keeps selling out FeastablesYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has addressed the situation around Feastables launching in the UK as his chocolate is already flying off the shelves. Here’s what you need to know. Like plenty of other content creators, MrBeast has expanded his online success into the business world too. Though, whereas KSI and Logan Paul have cornered the drinks market, he’s gone down the food and confectionery route. Despite a few early issues with Beast Burger in the United States, his ghost restaurant business, ultimately expanded to thousands of locations across the globe. Though, the YouTube star recently shifted his focus to Feastables. If you’ve been living under a rock, Feastables is his chocolate brand that has already seen massive success in the US. He’s got plans to launch it worldwide and it’s already taken off in the UK. Though, there have been some supply issues. MrBeast addresses UK stock issues with Feastables chocolate The chocolate bars started to appear in stores across the UK in early July, however, just like the success of Prime, it didn’t take long before it started to sell out en mass. Even MrBeast was caught out by the initial success. “Feastables launched in the UK 10 days ago but everyday before I can tweet about it the stores sell out. Trying to get more over!!! Y’all are crazy,” he tweeted back on July 18 He circled back to it on July 23 with a further promise to address the supply issues. “Ngl the UK goes harder than I thought, I’m having someone drive to stores and send pics and most look like this lol,” he added, with a photo of a sold out display. “I promise we’ll fix this asap!” Where to get Feastables in the UK Once Feastables gets back into stock, you are able to find the chocolate products in Asda stores, Spars attached to petrol garages, on Amazon, and on the Feastables UK-specifc site as well. Just like with Prime, these will be the only stores where you can find them for a while until it proves such a success that other retailers request to stock them as well. Asda – Spar – Amazon – Feastables UK – If things change on this front, we’ll be sure to update this list and let you know, hopefully, when stores have the bars back in stock again!

MrBeast Feastables package sends Hasan into a panic: “I thought it was a bomb” – Dexerto
MrBeast Feastables package sends Hasan into a panic: “I thought it was a bomb” YouTube: HasanAbi Show, MrBeast/Unsplash: @kingmaphotosHasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker has revealed that he was panicked after receiving a package that had a timed lock on it from Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson. Over the years, MrBeast has continuously raised the bar for his content. He’s also delved into various extravagant side projects like his philanthropy, Beast Burger, and more. On January 28, Dexerto reported that MrBeast had sent out mysterious boxes to random content creators including Casey Neistat and YouTube streamer, Ludwig. Just two days later, we found out that the boxes were sent to reveal his new chocolate bar company, Feastables. Hasan has revealed that he was also one of the creators to be sent a mystery box. However, when he asked his mom to open the package — it sent him into a panic. Hasan panicked after opening MrBeast box In a January 28 video uploaded to his ‘HasanAbi show’ YouTube channel, the creator revealed that since he is a part of the same talent agency, the Twitch streamer received the box from MrBeast. While in the car heading to an event, Piker asked his mom to open the package and take a picture to send to his cousin. The streamer then explained: “So my mom calls me in a panic and they’re like ‘Dude, there is a box that has a lock on it with a timer on it.’ I don’t know what the box looks like, so in my mind, I thought someone said they’re MrBeast and sent me a bomb.” https://youtu.be/26GL9A8vi8Y “I don’t know what the f**k this is, but I’m thinking that I have to call the FBI and tell them I have a bomb,” he said. “So I immediately call my agent and ask if he sent me a package from MrBeast, and he said he did. So we’re good now.” It’s not exactly common for somebody to receive a box with a timed lock on it, but perhaps next time, Hasan’s agent will give him a heads up before he has a package sent to his house.

MrBeast is letting fans design Squid Game challenge for huge YouTube event – Dexerto
MrBeast is letting fans design Squid Game challenge for huge YouTube event Netflix / Instagram: MrBeastInternet superstar MrBeast is bringing his own Squid Game adaptation to YouTube. In an effort to keep contestants on their toes he’s calling on the community for new challenge ideas. Hit Korean drama Squid Game has taken the internet by storm. As the biggest series launch in Netflix history, just about everyone is trying to get in on the viral success. From TikTok challenges to early YouTube recreations and even a video game in the works, the Squid Game hype isn’t going away anytime soon. However, perhaps the most anticipated take on the battle royale-esque show comes from YouTube sensation MrBeast. After setting a 10 million like requirement for his fans – and subsequently clearing the mark in just a few hours, it’s officially on. MrBeast is already hard at work devising a massive Squid Game event with life-size sets and “456 random people” set to compete. But before filming gets underway, MrBeast has called on the community for some help. In my version of Squid Game, how should I do the tug of war game? Since they’ve all seen Squid Game they’ll know when I tell them to pair up in groups of 10 what it’s for. Seems eh. What do I do? — MrBeast (@MrBeast) October 17, 2021 Given the success of the Netflix series, MrBeast is worried his contestants would have all seen Squid Game. As a result, when the challenges appear, they’ll know what to do and how to win. “What do I do?” he asked in an October 17 Twitter thread. “How should I do the tug of war game?” It didn’t take long for other content creators and fans alike to pitch in with their suggestions. While most just wanted an invite to the competition, some actually put forward a few helpful ideas. Rather than forming their own teams ahead of time, one follower suggested a different method. “Make it a raffle or blind pairing.” This could prevent teams from hoarding the ‘strongest’ players, keeping it on an even playing field. “Instead of tug of war, do capture the flag with teams of 10,” one fan chimed in. With players all building their teams towards tug of war, the surprise will hit like a ton of bricks when they learn it’s a test of speed instead of strength. Meanwhile, others suggested MrBeast’s YouTube event go in a completely different direction. Rather than copying the challenges from season one, his tasks could be inspired by other childhood games instead. “I figured you can come up with your own set of games,” fellow content creator rhymestyle said. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be the same games from the show.” “What if you create new games?” others followed up. “It’s your own version of Squid Game, do what you want.” Better yet, keep red light green light to make the contestants THINK they’re prepared, but then change the next five games — Sam Shumaker (@SamShumaker2) October 17, 2021 After just a few minutes of letting the community run wild, MrBeast alerted his fans that he had “figured it out”. “This is gonna be wild,” he teased. There’s no telling what idea he settled on, nor when we might see it in action. With over $2m going into the production, making it his “most expensive video,” MrBeast implied that filming could take “a month” in total. Expect to see plenty of teasers along the way as MrBeast creates YouTube’s own Squid Games video as only he can.

MrBeast fears “going broke” after making insane promise to man in grocery store Unsplash: Raul Gonzalez Escobar / Instagram: mrbeastMrBeast has revealed he may have “messed up” and fears he will “go broke” after offering an insane incentive for a man to live in a grocery store. With 187 million subscribers on YouTube, MrBeast is known for his high-cost productions that often involve challenges with massive giveaways. From hosting his own Olympic-style challenges to recreating Squid Games in real life, MrBeast loves to go all out when it comes to cash and competitions. However, it seems he may be overstretching himself after MrBeast took to Twitter to admit his latest idea might have him “go broke.” “I messed up,” MrBeast confessed, before revealing the incentive he had offered his latest competitor. “I bought a random grocery store and told a random person I’d give him $10,000 every day he lives in it.” However, according to the philanthropist, “it’s been weeks” with the man showing “no signs of ever leaving” the grocery store. “I’m gonna go broke,” MrBeast said, with one commenter pointing out that if the man can stay in the store for a year, he will make $3.6 million. “Alone or is it still operating as a store as he’s living in it?” one person asked, MrBeast responding by stating he had “blacked out the windows and locked [the store].” Another said, “Didn’t Mat Pat make a video on this? I think he came to the conclusion that someone can survive over 60 years in a grocery store.” To this, all MrBeast could say was, “Oh boy.” How long the man in the grocery store holds out, we’re sure to find out in a later video from the popular YouTuber.

MrBeast offers to team up with Sidemen On July 25, Sidemen shared their joy after their Tinder IRL 4 YouTube video picked up 10.1 million views in the first 22 hours of being uploaded. The channel claimed it was a “new high score” for the team with the stats also showing that “more regular viewers are choosing to watch the video.” MrBeast soon congratulated the group on the news. However, he believes that a video featuring himself and Sidemen could potentially “break that score.” YouTuber and Twitter-user Fabzy then shared a TikTok video in which Sidemen were asked if they would ever team up with MrBeast. Although the team didn’t give away any details, KSI replied: “We’re trying.” However, one Twitter user argued that MrBeast’s “wholesome” content might not mix well with Sidemen’s style. Yet, the idea nonetheless sparked excitement as MrBeast’s tweet went on to pick up 34k likes as of writing. MrBeast has certainly featured some huge names in his content, much to the delight of the internet. No doubt, a Sidemen collab would prove just as big.

MrBeast faces backlash after teasing “awful” 100 day challenge with $500K prize – Dexerto
MrBeast faces backlash after teasing “awful” 100 day challenge with $500K prize Twitter: MrBeastMrBeast is facing backlash online after teasing his next possible challenge and social experiment may involve two strangers isolating themselves in a room for 100 days in order to win 500K. MrBeast is one of the world’s most popular and influential content creators. Throughout his career on social media, MrBeast has made a name for himself through the various intricate social experiments he creates and replicates. One of his most popular videos still to date is when he created his own version of Squid Game. Now, however, MrBeast has teased what his next experiment might be, with the influencer taking to social media to outline a simple yet daunting scenario. “Would you spend 100 days in this room with a random stranger for $500,000? (Door is unlocked, if one of you leaves before day 100 you both lose.)” While many have commented on the Twitter post saying that the challenge is easy, others have had a less positive response to the reveal. Some have argued that they find the aesthetic of the room as well as the challenge itself to be akin to a type of “torture” for some people. “I’m pretty sure it’s actually a safety hazard not to see sunlight for 100 days bro” wrote one Twitter user. Another added, “Each video getting closer and closer to Hostel vibes. Can’t wait to sacrifice a limb for a Lamborghini.” “What about safety?” Added another. “If that person is coming at you with a knife, I hope you can leave and not be penalized.” Time will tell how the possible 100-day challenge plays out, if it goes ahead, and if MrBeast takes these criticisms into account. However, he has confirmed that “I’m about to run this experiment, let’s see how they do.” For all the latest MrBeast coverage and news, be sure to check out Dexerto’s full coverage here.

MrBeast explains why he wasn’t at Streamy Awards despite winning Creator of the Year – Dexerto
MrBeast explains why he wasn’t at Streamy Awards despite winning Creator of the Year Instagram: MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast has explained why he didn’t show up to the Streamy Awards, after he was crowned Creator of the Year at the award show in Los Angeles. MrBeast is the king of YouTube. Holding the title of single most-subscribed independent creator on the platform, nobody even comes close to his staggering 179 million subscribers. It’s no wonder he’s at the top of the ladder too, going to extreme lengths to make the best videos possible, ranging from giving away millions to surviving on a raft in the middle of the ocean for seven days. The YouTuber has certainly got recognition for his work, where for the fourth year in a row the 25-year-old has won the Streamy Awards‘ Creator of the Year award. However, he was never seen at the awards ceremony on August 27, and although the YouTube star acknowledged he won the prestigious award — responding on Twitter/X with “Hype” — fans were baffled as to why he never attended. MrBeast reveals why he wasn’t at Streamy Awards In a post that has since gone viral, racking up over 70k likes, it was noted how MrBeast never even showed up to the Streamy Awards. Responding, the 25-year-old claimed he was simply too busy recording upcoming videos to be present at the event. “I’m filming videos,” he responded, adding the sobbing emoji. MrBeast recently opened up on his mental health struggles, explaining he’s “dying mentally” pushing himself to be prepared to upload weekly videos at the end of the year. After smashing a YouTube record for his third video in a row, it’s clear MrBeast is on a bit of a streak. However, fans have urged him to take a break if he needs it.

MrBeast explains why it’s impossible for him to box YouTubers despite fight offers – Dexerto
MrBeast explains why it’s impossible for him to box YouTubers despite fight offers YouTube: Samir & Colin/Unsplash: Prateek KatyalYouTube star Jimmy ‘Mr Beast’ Donaldson has explained why he won’t be getting into the influencer boxing game anytime soon even if people want to see him box. For years now, social media stars have taken their online jabs and turned them into physical ones, strapping on boxing gloves and settling their scores in the ring. It’s proven to be a massive success for everyone involved and even though names like the Paul brothers and KSI continue to talk about future fights, some fans want to see new faces get in the ring. Pretty much every big YouTuber has been asked if they’re going to fight another content creator at some point now, but for Mr Beast, he has zero interest in getting involved and it’s just because he’d become a meme if he lost. Speaking on the Colin and Samir podcast, the YouTube sensation stated that boxing has the “perfect formula” to create massive spectacles, especially when two big names square off and he has a lot of fun watching the fights with his pals. As for him answering someone’s call out and stepping into the ring, that’s not going to happen, even though he’s had ideas surrounding the fight game. “It’s like so much time. I’ve got so much going on, so many employees, so much that depends on this channel, I just can’t spend six months just training two/three times a day,” Jimmy said. “I’ve had people ask me to box and I’m like bro, if I just spend the next six months training, people lose their job, and I don’t care to do that.” Timestamp of 55:00 The boxing game lives on the mantra of never say never, but for Mr Beast, it appears his mind is made up and there’s no changing that. There will be some fans who hold out hope of seeing him step into the ring, but they might just have to settle for a fun video instead.

MrBeast explains why he doesn’t care about making money from YouTube – Dexerto
MrBeast explains why he doesn’t care about making money from YouTube Instagram: mrbeast / YouTube: MrBeastYouTube sensation Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has finally explained why he doesn’t care all that much about having money despite his massive success. Recently surpassing 100M subscribers, MrBeast is one of the biggest YouTubers in the world. Known for his wacky viral videos – such as his recreation of the hit TV show Squid Game – they can sometimes cost him millions of dollars to produce. While it’s certainly worth it for the YouTube star, with him receiving hundreds of millions of views a month in return, he’s explained why he’s completely unphased about how much money he has. During a recent episode of the My First Million podcast, MrBeast sat down to talk about what it really takes to become the king of YouTube. Of course, with him giving millions away in almost every video, the topic of money came into the conversation. “Money is cool, but you know I live in my studio, I don’t have a mansion, I don’t drive a Lamborghini or whatever,” MrBeast said. “I like money because I can hire more people and grow my business but not so like I can increase my lifestyle or whatever. “I prefer to say I like winning,” he added. “It kinda encapsulates it a bit more because if you just like you know talk about money then people just think you want to buy expensive stuff.” Timestamp of 6:30 Now that he’s passed 100M subscribers, MrBeast is looking to expand the business even further. Following the huge milestone, the YouTuber put out a message to fans begging for their help and invited them to apply for a job if they’ve got relevant experience. Going forward, MrBeast also has the ambitious idea to expand his content in even more languages, with the ultimate goal of hitting one billion followers one day. He’s certainly on the right track to achieving his goals if he continues to keep up the pace.

MrBeast explains the downside of viral fame: “I always have to be on guard” – Dexerto
MrBeast explains the downside of viral fame: “I always have to be on guard” Unsplash: salvatore ventura / YouTube: Colin and SamirMrBeast has discussed the pressures he feels as a content creator, revealing he cannot go into the public eye without being “on guard”. As the most-subscribed individual creator on YouTube, Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has millions of fans watching his every move. In an unfiltered conversation with YouTubers ‘Colin and Samir’, MrBeast has revealed some of the pressures that have come included following his quick rise to fame. In particular, MrBeast said that he “can’t be in large crowds” or engage in other casual public activities without people filming and keeping tabs on him. “I leave these walls [of the studio] and it’s just crazy,” MrBeast said. “I can’t watch a movie [at the cinemas] unless I buy every ticket in the movie or people are just going to film me the whole time.” He went on to say that his notoriety for holding large sums of money has even resulted in break-ins at his house, saying “I’ve [got to] have security at my house”. Nonetheless, MrBeast has made it clear that he “signed up” for the life of a content creator. “No one’s forcing me to do it; I love my fans, I love you guys. So like, I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining and just miserable,” MrBeast said. But MrBeast does believe it takes a “specific” type of individual to run an individual-led media company. This is because no matter where he goes there are always people psychoanalyzing his behavior and filming everything he does. “No matter where I go, you’re always on,” MrBeast explained. “If I mess up, someone’s always filming me when I’m in public.” Talking with Colin and Samir, MrBeast also discussed the pressure he puts on himself to make content and how he wishes other creators would stop “stealing” his ideas.

MrBeast explains how he met Leonardo DiCaprio – Dexerto
MrBeast explains how he met Leonardo DiCaprio YouTube: FLAGRANT / Warner Bros. PicturesYouTube star MrBeast revealed his meeting with Hollywood legend Leonardo DiCaprio at a super-exclusive celebrity event on an episode of Andrew Schulz’s FLAGRANT podcast. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the most prominent content creators on the internet — on top of being one of YouTube’s most-subscribed independent personalities. Boasting over 100 million subs, MrBeast has achieved viral status many times over for his high-stakes challenges, jaw-dropping giveaways, and outside business ventures, such as his very own fast food chain called ‘MrBeast Burger.’ In fact, he’s become so famous that he’s now getting invited to uber-exclusive celebrity gatherings, which is how he ended up rubbing elbows with none other than Hollywood super-star Leonardo DiCaprio. Donaldson told the story of his meeting with the A-List actor during a September 27 episode of comedian Andrew Schulz’s FLAGRANT podcast, after he was asked about the most famous person he had in his phone contacts. MrBeast met Leonardo DiCaprio at “super exclusive” celebrity event Unable to come up with a name right away, he asked his buddies for help, who reminded him of the time he met Leo. “I met him at an event,” MrBeast began. “I don’t know how much I can say, but there’s this super exclusive event where there’s all these really rich and famous people, and I just did not belong there at the time.” “I just can’t say too much. I just remember pulling up and there’s just dozens of guys with assault rifles and stuff, and I was like, ‘Oh, it’s like that high level of an event.’ I ended up talking up there. I don’t know how to put it into words. Everyone there was either ultra-famous or just like a billionaire.” “It was crazy, having all those people in that room. And then at dinner, they just pair you up with random people so you meet new people, and he was the one at the table and we just [talked].” (Topic begins at 1:45:32) MrBeast went on to describe the speech he’d given at the event, where he joked that the attending company execs should “invest in YouTube” because “TV f**king sucks.” This isn’t the first time the YouTuber has been connected with Leo; the two had an interaction on social media last year after the actor unexpectedly shouted out MrBeast in a tweet.

MrBeast explains how Joe Rogan podcast episode came to be – Dexerto
MrBeast explains how Joe Rogan podcast episode came to be Spotify/Joe RoganYouTube phenom Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has revealed how his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience came to be, as it just took the classic trick of sliding into his DMs. Over the last decade, the Joe Rogan Experience has grown into the biggest podcast on the planet, with guests from all walks of life getting the chance to share their stories and views. Plenty of Rogan’s guests are familiar faces to himself and he usually has a connection with them beforehand, but he’s ventured deep into internet culture at times too – exploring esports, gaming, and even YouTube. Back in March, the internet was stunned when it was revealed that MrBeast had appeared as a guest, with Rogan praising his meteoric rise on YouTube. Now, the YouTuber has revealed how that all came to be. MrBeast reveals how he ended up on Joe Rogan podcast On September 30, MrBeast appeared on the NELK Boys’ FULL SEND podcast, when he was quizzed about his appearance on the JRE Podcast. “I think I just shot him a DM on Instagram and then he was like yeah, f*ck yeah, lets do it,” MrBeast said. “He was really cool. Really down to earth, I had a lot of fun. “He’s almost like a dad. It sounds weird today but that’s exactly how I would put it. I like how he just, you know, objectively wants to learn. That Joe Rogan podcast was f**king crazy for us. Obviously, we all know Joe Rogan is big but I didn’t realize how big he was afterwards when I go into Walmart and these old dudes would be like ‘holy s**t, you were on Rogan’.” Despite his self-made success on YouTube, MrBeast further noted that the appearance “did a lot” for himself and his team, helping him grow even further. He’s unlikely to get a second appearance on the podcast unless he does something really crazy, but you never can really rule things out when it comes to him.

MrBeast escalates Morgz YouTube copycat feud – Dexerto
MrBeast escalates Morgz YouTube copycat feud Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is one of YouTube’s most popular content creators, known for his massive cash giveaways and insane challenges – but every celeb has their copycats, and some are more obvious than others. With MrBeast boasting over 24 million subscribers, it comes as no surprise that the YouTuber sports a few copycats – the most prominent of which is British YouTuber “Morgz,” who has been called out for copying MrBeast’s videos several times. In fact, a member of Donaldson’s crew pointed out the similarities between their content in a pointed Tweet in May, showing a screenshot of Morgz’s videos as compared to MrBeast’s. Hmmmm…:thinking_face:@MrBeastYT pic.twitter.com/8OpP16tCXa — Chandler Hallow (@ChandlerHallow) May 16, 2019 While MrBeast later claimed that he had “nothing to do “ with the drama during a subsequent video, he later Tweeted about the apparent copying on September 13, writing, “My brother isn’t an actual YouTuber until Morgz copies one of his videos.” This Tweet didn’t go unnoticed by Morgz, who lashed out in response to the post with another screenshot that appeared to accuse MrBeast of copying him, instead, writing, “Guess we ain’t gonna talk about this huh?” Guess we ain’t gonna talk about this huh? https://t.co/RuABPPMkzi pic.twitter.com/6iIpN0BGTG — Morgz (@MorgzHudson) September 13, 2019 However, MrBeast was, in fact, going to talk about it, giving a multi-numbered list that debunked Morgz’s claims for each video in the screenshot. “1 – Your top video is a copy of my ‘Last to Leave’ series,” he wrote. “Point invalid. 2 – I was inspired by this VR guy. 3 – Nope, I still did it first. My original Tweet was a joke btw. I’ve been trying to be nice and not hop on the fuck Morgz train, I really don’t care for drama.” 1.) Your top video is a copy of my last To leave series.

I’ve been trying to be nice and not hop on the fuck morgz train, I really don’t care for drama. pic.twitter.com/Af8GSdsAyj — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) September 13, 2019 Morgz then shot back with another Tweet, accusing MrBeast of “pushing a narrative” against him and copying another YouTuber’s VR video idea rather than being “inspired.” “How come my top video is a ‘copy’ of your last to series, but your VR video is ‘inspired’?” he retorted. “Just cos you say you’re joking & you hate drama, doesn’t change anything. Just a way for you to push a narrative whilst still looking like a ‘good guy,’ even though You tweeted about me.” How come my top video is a ‘copy’ of your last to series, but your VR video is ‘inspired’? & just cos you say you’re joking & u hate drama, doesn’t change anything. Just a way for you to push a narrative whilst still looking like a ‘good guy’ even though You tweeted about me. — Morgz (@MorgzHudson) September 13, 2019 While MrBeast has yet to reply to Morgz’s final Tweet on the subject, he isn’t alone in feeling copied by the YouTuber: both his crew and fellow YouTuber RiceGum have put Morgz on blast, with RiceGum calling Morgz’s content “cringey.” Although MrBeast isn’t one to entertain drama, there’s no telling where his “feud” with Morgz will head next, with fans and critics alike awaiting further statements from the two.

MrBeast explains he’s losing “ridiculous amount of money” on main channel YouTube: MrBeastMrBeast, popular YouTuber and philanthropist, has revealed that due to the extraordinary amount of money he drops on each main channel video for some bizarre concepts, he’s actually running at a loss on his main channel.

MrBeast debuts footage of epic $200,000 Airsoft Battle Royale featuring Pokimane, CouRage, and more MrBeast / YouTubePopular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson hosted an insane, real-life battle royale in a format styled after Apex Legends featuring the likes of Jaiden Animation, Valkyrae, Alex Wasabi and so much more. MrBeast brought together 39 YouTubers from all walks of entertainment to compete in two games with $100,000 going to the winning team. YouTubers were split into 13 teams, while each member had three balloons tied to their helmet. Once all balloons were popped, that person was eliminated. Last team standing would take the prize. The only thing more impressive than MrBeast’s party planning was the insanely huge arena where 250 Airsoft weapons were scattered throughout for players to find. MrBeast had equipped each of their helmets with a GoPro to capture riveting moments as Airsoft pellets whizzed across the battlefield. All of the teams were instantly feeling the pressure of a live battle royale as the action got more intense from the a makeshift zone of caution tape closing in. The games featured all the drama ranging from teams not being able to find any weapons, balloons being caught by the closing zone, weapons being fought over upon pick-up, ambushes, multi-kills, teaming, flanks, big plays, etc. After the dust settled, the Green Team made up of YouTubers Anythony Padilla, ‘Odd1sout’ and Jaiden Animation claimed victory in the first match. The second game was taken by the Dark Green team composed of Prestonplayz, Unspeakable and Typical Gamer. Teams were left tattered and fatigued, but the event was an incredible adaptation of the action seen in a battle royale translated to real life.

MrBeast explains how Elon Musk helped inspire his YouTube content – Dexerto
MrBeast explains how Elon Musk helped inspire his YouTube content YouTube: Joe Rogan / MrBeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson explained how Elon Musk helped inspire his YouTube content, claiming the Tesla CEO’s efforts to improve the world and “rebuild imagination” played a role. MrBeast’s philanthropic efforts are well-known at this point. Not only has he given away millions of dollars, but he’s also made waves in environmental conservation through his Team Trees and Team Seas campaigns. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he revealed that Elon Musk is one of the biggest inspirations behind his efforts, particularly in terms of the work he does to try and change the world in innovative ways. “I don’t support or look up to everything he does or how he treats people,” said MrBeast. He didn’t elaborate but was likely referring to past reports claiming Tesla employees were stressed and overworked. However, he draws inspiration from the positives Musk has brought about. “I think it’s inspiring that he’s weaning the world off of oil and rebuilding imagination when it comes to space exploration and stuff like that.” Read More: How does MrBeast make money? – MrBeast also admitted that he’s fixated on the future, similar to how Musk is in all of his endeavors. “I’m very forward-thinking,” he explained. “F**k the past. It’s already happened. I’m trying to conquer the future.” Even though his content revolves around money, MrBeast admitted he doesn’t “give a f**k” about it. “I don’t want to live my life chasing the next shiny object to the next shiny object. It’s a sad, miserable way to go about life.” However, he knows other people do. So, that’s why he does what he does. “It doesn’t matter to me, but it matters to other people. And that’s what allows us to get views, so I make more money and do bigger stuff.” In the end, it’s one of the ways he’s trying to make the world a better place, just in a different way to Musk. “I could be doing cheaper videos, but I just don’t want to. I want to push the boundaries to go bigger.”

One community online that is growing by the day, and doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon, is the Minecraft streamer community. While Minecraft has been a popular game for a while now, it’s experienced a huge boost over the past year or so. Many of the streamers who are known for playing Minecraft are part of the Dream SMP, a roleplay-based multiplayer Minecraft Server set up by speedrunner Dream, and the creators involved in the server experience insane engagement on social media, proving to be a powerful community. The fans will rally around their favorite creators online as soon as it’s needed and after fast-food chain Wendy’s decided to interact with the Minecraft community on Twitter, it didn’t take long before a full-blown ‘ratio’ war broke out. In a potential reference to GeorgeNotFound’s recent temporary TikTok ban, Wendy’s wrote on Twitter, “should I ban George again?” with a yes or no poll beneath it. In the comments, a confused Twitter user asked, “who’s George,” to which the company replied, “streamer kid, we’re all having a laugh.” This seemed to add fuel to the competition, as suddenly several streamers and creators flocked to the Tweet to try and ‘ratio’ it. To ratio someone means to get significantly more likes on a reply to a post than the original post itself – and it’s safe to say the Minecraft community succeded. Dream’s reply stands at over 180,000 likes at the time of writing, with other creators like George himself, Quackity, and BadBoyHalo getting tens of thousands of likes on their replies of images of rival food chains. don’t mess with mcyts we have Likes #boycottwendys pic.twitter.com/BhYnjwAPtk — jelly (@tommyboxess) February 26, 2021 Even YouTuber MrBeast chipped into the Twitter war with an image of his own food chain MrBeast Burger, getting 65,000 likes on his tweet. Popular streamer ConnorEatsPants replied saying: “Only took ur social media manager a year to realize pandering to Minecrafters is a lucrative endeavor,” to which Wendy’s replied, “who are you?” https://twitter.com/MrBeast/status/1365430759230742529 Connor then replied with a link to a ‘Boycott Wendy’s’ site, and it didn’t take long before the hashtag #BoycottWendys was trending on Twitter thanks to all these huge names participating in the Twitter beef with the company. While the Twitter shade seems to have been by-and-large quite lighthearted, it just goes to show how powerful the Minecraft streaming community is when it comes to racking up numbers on social media.

MrBeast Donates $50,000 to Ninja to Try and Stop Him From Winning Fortnite Games for a Great Cause – Dexerto
MrBeast Donates $50,000 to Ninja to Try and Stop Him From Winning Fortnite Games for a Great Cause Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is no stranger to donating excess amounts of money to Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins in order to see his on-stream reactions. First held in 2016, the annual ‘Guardian Con’ live stream brings a collection of personalities and streamers together with the goal of raising as much money as possible over the course of a week for St. Jude. The inaugural live stream in 2016 raised $564,000, while the following year managed to bring in a staggering $1.35 million for the children’s research hospital, and bring more attention to the cause. For the 2018 installment, Guardian Con set a goal of $2.4 million, due to that being the average cost to run St. Jude’s Hospital on a daily basis, which ended up being surpassed for a total of $2.7 million raised alongside the assistance of major streamers. One such streamer was Ninja, who managed to bring in a massive amount of money throughout the duration of his streaming segment and had different incentives for viewers to donate, including dropping his current weapon for $250, all materials for $500, and no healing with only gray weapons for $1000. With this in mind, popular YouTuber MrBeast tried his best to get Ninja to lose games by periodically donating a total of $50,000 in extremely inconvenient instances, leading to a collection of hilarious moments. The full video can be viewed in its entirety below, with more content like this able to be found on MrBeast’s official YouTube channel.

MrBeast is one of the most popular creators on YouTube right now, with over 74 million subscribers on his main channel alone and millions more on the several other channels that he operates. Jimmy is well known for giving away huge amounts of money or expensive items like cars and houses to his friends and followers, and has also put an enormous amount of work into his charity efforts. In October he launched his latest fundraiser ‘Team Seas,’ in which he’s teaming up with other creators on YouTube in a bid to raise $30 million to remove 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean. He also runs a philanthropy channel, Beast Philanthropy, where he documents the efforts they are making with their charity and food pantry to help those in need. On November 7, Jimmy announced that using funds from the Beast Philanthropy YouTube channel, they had their biggest food drive yet, and revealed the staggering number of meals they have now given away as part of the initiative. “Today was Beast Philanthropy’s biggest food drive ever!” he wrote. “Over 300 volunteers, 10,000+ families fed, and around $500,000 worth of food given away! We’ve officially given away over 1,000,000 meals to people in need all 100% for free.” All funded by the Beast Philanthropy YouTube channel!

Small streamers stunned after MrBeast sends HUGE donations – Dexerto
Small streamers stunned after MrBeast sends HUGE donations Popular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is known for his creative acts of charity – and his latest project pitted Twitch streamers against creators on Mixer. With $100,000 in store for unsuspecting streamers, MrBeast and his crew hit the internet in search of Twitch and Mixer broadcasts to hold a competition of sorts to determine who would win the cash. Beast took the Twitch side of things, while his buddy took Mixer, battling it out to see which streamer would go home with the money. How did they give out $100,000? The YouTuber didn’t give out all of the money at once: instead, he split the winnings up into different challenges, with the amount increasing as the video went on. His challenges included tasks like blinking 20 times, counting to 100, and even a mere nose scratch. For his counting challenge, MrBeast’s chosen Twitch streamer flat out refused to start counting. “If that’s what you want, it’s not gonna happen,” they said. However, the streamer on Mixer was much more willing to count all the way to 100 – and as a result, ended his stream $2000 richer. Plenty of recipients teared up or got emotional when they found out the donations were legit, but the best reaction had to be AermanReid, who received the $20,000 “grand prize” for taking a sip of water. At first he actually banned MrBeast from his chat, before realizing it was probably a better idea to unban him. After discovering the $20k donation wasn’t a meme, the streamer flipped out, proudly yelling, “Mom! I’m moving out! It’s done!” But the giving didn’t end there: after the competition was over, MrBeast still had around $40k to give out. One of the final streamers he donated to thanked him, of course, but warned he was playing a dangerous game with the massive donations. “Dude I have only got like 30 percent of my heart function left,” the streamer said. “You’re really tempting fate with me.” MrBeast said in 2018 he was considering ending his massive Twitch donation videos, explaining that he was feeling “numb” by the constant giving. Thankfully, it seems like his “numbness” didn’t stop him from donating for the long-term – which is very good news for all the streamers who were lucky enough to grab a piece of the latest $100k.

He’s well-known for his charitable efforts, including campaigns like Team Trees and Team Seas, as well as his own charity channel Beast Philanthropy. Revenue from the YouTube channel goes back into the charity, and with viewers’ help, he’s given away thousands of meals to those in need. In a video uploaded on February 26, Jimmy revealed his latest big endeavor. He explained that they’d reached out to various different YouTubers to ask them for their extra merch, including creators like Dream, GeorgeNotFound, Yes Theory, and more. The total amount of merch was worth over $400,000, and they set about giving the clothing items away to 30 different locations. They visited a huge number of different schools where they let the kids pick out some of their favorite YouTuber’s merch, and Jimmy got to interact with plenty of fans at the same time. They also gave away items to other locations like homeless shelters. Jimmy ended the video by asking viewers to get their favorite creators to give away some merch to Beast Philanthropy, as they want to do the same thing in a couple of months’ time with “10 to 20 times” the amount of merch given away in this video. He asked creators to DM the Beast Philanthropy Instagram page to give away their own merch. The comment section was filled with praise for MrBeast and his team for helping kids in need, with many calling the project “awesome.”

Ending down just shy of $100,000, the ‘man baby‘ was left alone by lady luck in a series of hands. Of particular note, losing to Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson who hadn’t even realized he’d won. Mr Beast destroys Phil Hellmuth without realising. A tough night for the poker pro against these influencers pic.twitter.com/1PyL7ThD5k — Dexerto (@Dexerto) May 2, 2022 In the shocking hand, embedded for your entertainment, you can see MrBeast throwing his cards down, thinking he’d lost on a $34,800 pot before the table erupts in yells. “So, split pot?” MrBeast asks, indicating he’d offer a draw for the cards he has before continuing “nah, just joking. I’ve got nothing.” Throwing down an Ace and a 10 of hearts on a table filled with hearts the table instantly corrects YouTube’s king of philanthropy. “You have a flush dude.” A flush, meaning five cards of the same suit, stands as the fifth strongest hand in poker. It beats ‘man baby’ Phil Hellmuth’s two pairs. Something that even Jimmy seemed unaware of, stating: “I literally was like, oh, he has two queens and two jacks, I’m dead.” Clarifying his ignorance of the situation Donaldson said “you could’ve just [taken] the money, I never would’ve noticed.” Unintentionally rubbing in his win. Comments on Twitter were split around the move, comparing MrBeast’s unknowing brilliance to “pros playing ranked against average but decent players.” When players don’t know what they’re doing, the braindead plays throw them off so bad they can actually win.”

MrBeast dismisses Khaby Lame’s massive TikTok sponsor price claim – Dexerto
MrBeast dismisses Khaby Lame’s massive TikTok sponsor price claim YouTube: MrBeastYouTuber and successful entrepreneur Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has debunked claims from TikToker Khaby Lame that creators can be paid up to $750,000 for TikTok videos. Hitting success in the world of content creation isn’t an easy feat. YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is more than familiar with the strides it takes to make an impact and now enjoys the lucrative rewards his work pays off with. Sitting at the top with some of the highest earning YouTubers, MrBeast has expanded his revenue stream through ventures such as MrBeast Burger and through creating content for viral video platform TikTok. However, though TikTok videos may pay well for the YouTuber, MrBeast has shot down Khaby Lame’s claims of earning close to $1 million. MrBeast claims there is “no way” Khaby Lame made $750K through TikTok Appearing alongside the Sidemen on their podcast, Vikkstar prompted MrBeast to speak about TikTok earnings: “Khaby Lame got $750,000.” Before Vikkstar could go further into his question, MrBeast jumped in and claimed that “there’s no way…it’s not that much. It’s just definitely not that much.” Surprised by MrBeast’s response, Vikkstar encouraged him to elaborate further on his point. “Unless Khaby himself says it that is just beyond cap,” continued the YouTuber. It certainly isn’t uncommon for influencers and creators to receive huge sums for their work. “We can get $200,000 a TikTok, so like 200 to 300 is the highest I’ve ever seen,” MrBeast added. Jokingly, Vikkstar responded by saying “all of a sudden I think I’m making a TikTok account.” Khaby Lame is reportedly on track to amass an incredible $10 million in 2022 alone. The creator has worked with numerous brands on multiple sponsored videos. Fortune revealed that through his most recent collaboration with Hugo Boss, Lame netted a cool $450,000 for walking in their Milan Fashion Week show.

MrBeast’s decade on YouTube: 5 biggest accomplishments of the last 10 years – Dexerto
MrBeast’s decade on YouTube: 5 biggest accomplishments of the last 10 years Instagram: mrbeast / YouTube: MrBeastFew creators have made as big of an impact as Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson, and as his wildly popular main channel turns 10 years old, we’ve taken a look back at some of the YouTuber’s biggest achievements from the past decade. With over 90 million subscribers, MrBeast is one of the most popular creators on YouTube, and his career as a content creator has seen him take on some enormous projects, garnering millions of views for the dedicated efforts of him and his team. The now-23-year-old created his main channel back when he was just 13, and February 19, 2022 marked an impressive decade of entertaining content and huge efforts in philanthropy. Today is the 10 year anniversary of the channel, give me likes pic.twitter.com/6kxZDBw8oF — MrBeast (@MrBeast) February 19, 2022 Jimmy continues to be a beloved creator to millions of fans across the globe, and as his projects are increasing in scale, that fanbase is only going to get bigger. With the YouTuber hitting such a huge milestone, here are some of his biggest achievements and milestones from the past 10 years as a content creator. Team Trees and Team Seas Back in October 2019, MrBeast revealed that to celebrate hitting 20 million subscribers, he would be launching the #TeamTrees fundraiser, with the aim of raising 20 million dollars for the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 20 million trees. With the help of fans and fellow creators, by the end of 2020, the project had raised $23,605,170, managing to exceed the ambitious original goal. Donaldson was widely praised for his charitable efforts for the environment, and he decided to outdo himself in 2021 when he launched #TeamSeas as a follow-up campaign. The project aimed to raise $30 million to remove 30,000,000 pounds of marine debris from the ocean by the end of 2021. Thousands of creators from across the world made videos about the fundraiser to help launch it, and it has now smashed the ambitious original goal as a result. MrBeast Burger Fans have long admired MrBeast’s entrepreneurship, and he launched one of his biggest projects to date in December 2020 in the form of MrBeast Burger. The delivery-only burger chain originally launched with 300 locations in the United States, but thanks to the insane demand, the company has grown to over 1000 locations across the US and Europe. The menu features items inspired by friends like Chris, Karl, and Chandler, who have appeared in many of the influencer’s most iconic videos, and he even released several special items inspired by popular creators such as Minecraft YouTuber Dream. In 2022 he even went on to launch his own chocolate bar, Feastables, and the new business is already proving to be very popular. Squid Game Jimmy is no stranger to ambitious video ideas, as that is what he initially became known for. In 10 years on his main channel he has gone viral for projects like, ‘I spent 50 hours in solitary confinement,’ and ‘I spent 50 hours buried alive,’ which each earned him over 150 million views. But the YouTuber took it to an entirely new level in November 2021, when he decided to make his very own version of the hit Korean show ‘Squid Game’ after it became a huge hit. Much to the internet’s astonishment, Jimmy and his team managed to recreate the iconic set, and brought 456 participants in to compete for the huge prize of $456,000. The highly anticipated project smashed YouTube records, and since being posted has garnered an unbelievable 220 million views — a testament to just how dedicated MrBeast is to his video ideas, no matter how unachievable they might seem. Six popular channels While his main channel marked the start of a decade of MrBeast content, in the years since he began, Jimmy has also branched out into several other channels which have each been hugely successful in their own right. His other channels include Beast Reacts, MrBeast Gaming, MrBeast Shorts, Beast Philanthropy, and MrBeast 2, which have a combined total of over 67 million subscribers. There, Jimmy posts a range of content that doesn’t belong on his main channel, and he has large active followings across all of them, going to show how far his empire has grown since he launched MrBeast back when he was just 13. Beast Philanthropy Jimmy launched his very own charity, Beast Philanthropy, back in 2020 as a way to “leverage the power of social media platforms and raise funds to alleviate hunger, homelessness, and unemployment.” On the accompanying YouTube channel, MrBeast has shared some of the amazing work he’s done across various different communities, with 100% of the revenue from the channel going to the charity. Beast Philanthropy has a mobile distribution model which sees them pack multiple trucks full of packaged goods, and take the trucks out to communities that aren’t served by traditional food pantries. They currently serve six different geographical communities in Eastern North Carolina, with plans to expand throughout the US and into international communities. In November 2021 they had their biggest food drive yet, with over 300 volunteers, 10,000+ families fed, and around $500,000 worth of food given away, bringing the total number of meals donated to over 1 million. Although these are some of his biggest accomplishments, it barely scratches the surface of the impressive things Jimmy has done over the years, including giving away a private island for a video, donating over 100 cars, and giving out thousands of gifts and cash prizes to friends, family, and fans. With a decade of content creation behind him, and no signs of stopping any time soon, there’s no doubt that MrBeast’s fan base will continue to grow, with tens of millions of people ready to support both his entertaining content and charitable efforts.

MrBeast brings customers to tears with free car dealership – Dexerto
MrBeast brings customers to tears with free car dealership MrBeast, YouTubePopular YouTuber Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is known as the “Good Samaritan” of social media, giving away insane amounts of cash to streamers, waitresses, and students in his videos – but one video brought citizens of his town to tears. While MrBeast has opened up stores in the past where all items were priced at just one dollar each, he’s never stepped into the car dealership business – until now. The YouTuber uploaded a video on August 29, where he opened up his very own “car dealership,” knocking down the prices of 12 vehicles to amounts like $7, $3, 69 cents, and other low numbers – despite spending over $100,000 on the project. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B1epdINh9io/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkOf course, MrBeast’s generosity did not go unrewarded, leaving customers speechless and even shedding a few tears over the matter, with MrBeast himself getting a bit watery-eyed during the proceedings. Of course, his “free car dealership” also included a “last to leave” game, with three potential buyers waiting inside the cab to be the last customer standing – but all three ended up getting their own cars anyway, as did MrBeast’s brother, who just started his own YouTube channel on August 28. “This video is very special to me, and we impacted a lot of lives today,” Donaldson said of the project. “We really want to continue doing stuff like this.” Although his over-the-top videos might seem incredulous, MrBeast’s content does real good in the real world – and he wants to keep expanding his reach. 800“I want to open a homeless shelter, plant a lot of trees – just do a lot of good things,” he continued. Read More: Ninja breaks another massive record on Mixer – This wouldn’t be the first time the YouTuber has mentioned wanting to open up a homeless shelter, either: the star mentioned such a venture in a Tweet in early June, although he admitted he might go with “something more simple like a food bank if I believe it will be more helpful.” Idk, still educating myself. I might end up going with something more simple like a food bank if I believe it will be more helpful. — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) June 12, 2019 For now, MrBeast is still bringing out the bangers with each upload – but that’s far from his end goal, leaving both fans and members of his own community waiting for even grander projects in the future.

MrBeast criticizes FaZe Clan leadership as org blasted by OG members – Dexerto
MrBeast criticizes FaZe Clan leadership as org blasted by OG members YouTube: MrBeastYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson hit out at FaZe Clan, saying nobody he met on a recent visit to their HQ had “any idea” about how to make “good content” amid backlash from fans and longtime creators. Before becoming an incredibly successful esports organization that has spanned across a whole host of games, FaZe Clan had its roots in YouTube – especially with Call of Duty and vlogging. Off the back of the likes of FaZe Banks, Temperrr, and Rain, they’ve been able to bring newer faces into the fold and expand consistently. They’ve even picked up celebrity investors like Snoop Dogg, Pitbull, and Kyler Murray – while also being listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Though, that stock offering has plummeted in recent weeks, to the point where it could be delisted and there have been internal issues with the likes of FaZe Rain and FaZe Teeqo hitting out at the current owners for being “disrespectful” to the longtime members and creators. MrBeast says FaZe has ‘no idea’ how to make “good content” That has prompted a promise from FaZe to turn things around, which includes getting the “OGs” together once again for some talks. While that sparked a bit of excitement from fans, it also opened the door for MrBeast to take a dig at the current running of the organization. “They should be the people in charge,” the YouTube philanthropist tweeted, referring to the FaZe OGs. “When I visited not a single person I met had any idea how to make a good piece of content.” He also said the brand is just “a logo” without content. That visit he references came back in late 2022, where he discussed the fact that he wanted to join FaZe back in the day, but he didn’t get the call. He also suggested Airrack as a new member, given his meteoric rise on YouTube. A number of fans agreed with Jimmy’s take on things, urging FaZe to listen to him and even asking him to “save” the organization’s content. It remains to be seen what’ll happen, but don’t count on hearing the name FaZe MrBeast anytime soon.

Now, in his most recent video, the YouTube star continues to change lives. MrBeast helps cure 1,000 people’s blindness In a January 28 upload, MrBeast helped out over a thousand people by paying for surgery to cure their blindness. Noting that half the population with curable blindness doesn’t have access to the right treatment, Jimmy helped out people across the world. Countless strangers across numerous countries such as Nambia, Mexico, Honduras, Indonesia, Brazil, Vietnam, Kenya, as well as Jamica were helped. MrBeast didn’t stop there either. During the 8-minute-long video, Jimmy was seen once again seen blessing strangers with heaps of cash, and the YouTube star even went out of his way to buy a Tesla for a young fan following a successful surgery. Furthermore, an additional $100,000 donation was made that will help cure more blindness around the world. It’s unclear what the YouTuber has up his sleeve next, but he certainly continues to one-up himself every time.

MrBeast credits MrBeast Burger success to “gamble” on viral YouTube video – Dexerto
MrBeast credits MrBeast Burger success to “gamble” on viral YouTube video YouTube: MrBeastJimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson credits the success of his virtual restaurant business, MrBeast Burger, to the first YouTube video he did about it, which ended up going viral with almost 100 million views. MrBeast shocked the world after announcing he was dipping his fingers into the fast-food industry by releasing his very own burger restaurant chain, MrBeast Burgers. It’s primary a virtual restaurant, which means it’s delivery only. However, despite that, and despite the fact that some critics claimed the food was raw and uncooked, it’s blown up into a massive success story. He’s even done partnerships with other internet personalities, including popular Minecraft YouTuber Dream. During an interview with Logan Paul on Episode 291 of the IMPAULSIVE Podcast, MrBeast claims its success largely depended on the first MrBeast Burger YouTube video he released, which he described as a “gamble.” The topic came up after Logan complimented MrBeast for branching out into other businesses. “MrBeast Burger is crushing it. It’s doing better than I ever imagined,” he said. “We’re over a thousand [locations] and we’re breaking ground.” He admitted that they were doing “pretty good” before they even promoted it because a lot of people recognized him as “that guy from YouTube” when they saw his name and brand on Uber Eats and GrubHub. However, he credits most of its success on the initial YouTube video. “I’ll be honest, I didn’t know what to do. The whole gamble was the video. “Like, that video is about to get a hundred million views. If that flopped and only got like 15 or 20 million views, then it wouldn’t be a fraction [of what it is now]. Given how successful he is at his other enterprises, it’s no surprise that MrBeast Burger has been a resounding success.

MrBeast’s crew calls out copycat YouTuber Morgz – Dexerto
MrBeast’s crew calls out copycat YouTuber Morgz MrBeast, Morgz – YouTubeJimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is one of YouTube’s biggest stars, boasting over 23 million subscribers thanks to his over-the-top videos and generous cash donations – but being a huge star comes with a price. MrBeast’s content is arguably some of the most popular on the site, with his “free car dealership” video sitting at number one on trending a day after posting – but such popular content is bound to birth imitators. In fact, one of Donaldson’s buddies pointed out a blatant copycat in a Twitter post in early May, noting that YouTuber “Morgz” had obviously copied a slew of his videos. Hmmmm…:thinking_face:@MrBeastYT pic.twitter.com/8OpP16tCXa — Chandler Hallow (@ChandlerHallow) May 16, 2019 While MrBeast responded to the callout with a lighthearted post, the issue was brought up again in an August 29 video – this time, by another member of his crew, who jokingly offered to box the copycat. “He must have watched a Morgz video,” his friend said, after being told that another crew member was currently puking. “I’m going to England, Morgz, come on. 1v1 me, boxing match, let’s go!” MrBeast himself remained staunchly neutral on the subject, replying, “I have nothing to do with this” in response to his friend’s challenge. (Timestamp: 6:50 for mobile viewers) This latest response from the YouTuber follows his previous statements on the subject, when friend Chandler Hallow pointed out the copycat three months ago. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” MrBeast wrote – but not everyone was satisfied with his response, with FaZe co-owner Ricky Banks claiming that YouTube’s “Good Samaritan” was “too nice.” “True, but not everything I do is original, either,” MrBeast replied. “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 MrBeast isn’t the only top YouTuber to boast a dogged copycat, either: YouTube king Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg also sports his own imitator, going by the name Enes Batur, who copies every aspect of the Swede’s YouTube videos down to the thumbnails. With all the YouTube boxing drama unfolding this month, the “boxing challenge” against Morgz comes off as a topical joke – but considering MrBeast’s kindness, it doesn’t look like the copycat will touch gloves with his crew member any time soon.

MrBeast convinces restaurant worker to quit her job for $100,000 – Dexerto
MrBeast convinces restaurant worker to quit her job for $100,000 YouTube: MrBeastYouTuber MrBeast stunned a restaurant employee by offering her $100,000 to quit her job on the spot, with her boss being surprisingly supportive of the decision. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has become one of the most well-known YouTubers there is, with over 55 million subscribers on his main channel, and that’s not including the millions more he has on his gaming channel. His content consists of both very bizarre challenges that usually have a super high-value prize, whether that’s in the form of a house, a car, a voucher, or just cases of cash, Jimmy has given it all away. While the recipients of these prizes are often friends or other people that he knows, it’s not uncommon for Jimmy to take to the streets to give away some fantastic prizes to total strangers, literally changing people’s lives. In his latest video, he decided to host a variety of challenges in which he gave random people the opportunity to win big. He got a pilot to make a perfect paper airplane, asked a golfer to get a hole-in-one, and started a race between three pizza delivery drivers. Read More: Twitch bans GeorgeNotFound permanently again – But the coolest prize of all went to a restaurant worker at Muscle Maker Grill. Jimmy offered to give this person $100,000 just for quitting her job. Originally she resisted the huge prize, saying, “no, I don’t think I would. Like I’ve got bills to pay!” adding that her “boss would not be happy.” But in a surprising twist, when MrBeast asked her boss if he would be angry, he said, “not at all,” and even said that he would quit if it were him. Just as she said she would hand her two weeks notice in, her boss even said that she didn’t need to bother with the notice, more than supportive of her decision to take the huge sum of money. Jimmy then took the employee outside to his car where he showed her bags full of cash totaling $100,000, just in case she didn’t believe that it was real. She looked absolutely ecstatic to have been selected for the video, as did the other participants who ended up being helped out by MrBeast that day.

MrBeast sued for $100m by MrBeast Burger over “disparaging” comments – Dexerto
MrBeast sued for $100m by MrBeast Burger over “disparaging” comments Instagram: MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast is being counter-sued for $100 million by Virtual Dining Concepts, the company behind Beast Burger restaurants. On June 17, YouTuber MrBeast revealed he’d be “moving on” from his Beast Burger restaurants in order to shift his focus to his venture in the snack business with his chocolate bar brand Feastables. The move came just after two years after he partnered with Virtual Dining Concepts, launching over 2,000 “ghost kitchens” to make Beast Burger available nationwide across the United States. As first reported by Bloomberg, MrBeast has since filed a lawsuit against the company, for their quality control problems, with customers labeling the food as ‘disgusting’, ‘revolting,’ and ‘inedible’. Furthermore, the YouTube star claimed he’s yet to receive payments from the company, meanwhile, the business has made millions of dollars. In return, Virtual Dining Concepts hit back at the suit claiming the complaint is “riddled with false statements and inaccuracies” — and has now filed a countersuit for “failing to honor his contractual obligations.” Why is MrBeast being sued by MrBeast Burger? VDC labeled MrBeast’s lawsuit as “meritless” and “ill-advised” and claimed the YouTuber had breached his agreement with the company before attempting to negotiate a new deal “to serve his own monetary interests.” According to Variety, Virtual Dining Concepts has now responded with a nine-figure lawsuit. Damages caused by the YouTube star are alleged to exceed $100 million. “This case is about a social media celebrity who believes his fame means that his word does not matter, that the facts do not matter, and that he can renege and breach his contractual obligations without consequence,” the suit reads. “He is mistaken.” The lawsuit contains examples of deleted tweets from the YouTuber making “disparaging comments” about both Beast Burger and VDC. With him saying he has more control over the quality of the product, MrBeast has begun focusing more on Feastables. Recently, the brand officially made its way into UK stores, and has been flying off the shelves since.

MrBeast confirms new girlfriend with surprise Instagram post – Dexerto
MrBeast confirms new girlfriend with surprise Instagram post @tytypandabearPopular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is known for his insane challenge videos, as well as giving out generous amounts of cash – but a new photo from the social media star is stirring gossip across the net. While MrBeast is one of YouTube’s most popular creators, boasting over 20 million subscribers on the site as of June 17, he has never delved into his personal love life – that is, until recently. Although he seems to spend most of his time with the boys, as evidenced by their hilarious antics in his videos, a photo posted on June 16 shows another member of the cast that fans have yet to meet. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/ByoD3NLBX2F/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkMrBeast uploaded the telling photo to Instagram, where he sits watching a video on his smartphone with a smiling young woman. “We are simple people,” MrBeast captioned the image. “We see a new PewDiePie video, we watch it.” 600https://www.instagram.com/p/ByyDWvohD3B/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkMrBeast’s photo has since stirred debate across the internet, with many fans speculating that the young YouTube star is debuting his new main squeeze. Even controversial YouTuber Jake Paul got in on the action, writing a simple, “Ohhhh em g,” in response. MrBeast’s own buddy, Chandler Hallow, commented on the picture, as well, similarly writing, “Omg” – even adding a romantic emote, to boot. Thanks to investigation by Drama Alert’s Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem, MrBeast finally coughed up his official relationship status, answering “Yes, me a happy boi,” when asked if the two were actually dating. While KEEMSTAR didn’t divulge the lovely lady’s @, he did mention what could be her first name, referring to her as “Maddy” after MrBeast asked him to remind her about their dinner date reservations. 600https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vqYHrxjPBM This romantic debacle follows MrBeast’s “free store” experiment, where he opened a store that allowed shoppers to take one item each, free of charge. However, his video didn’t go off without a hitch; some fans went to the location of his previous $1 store, while others waited in line a full day before the free store was set to open. MrBeast is commonly hailed as a good Samaritan across YouTube, and even hopes to open a homeless shelter or food bank in the near future.

MrBeast considering running for United States President at 40 – Dexerto
MrBeast considering running for United States President at 40 Unsplash.com: Samuel Branch / YouTube: TMG StudiosYouTube star MrBeast admitted that he’s open to running for US President once he turns 40, and says a big part of his campaign would be advertising how he “can’t be bought.” Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the most prominent YouTubers on the platform. Boasting over 100 million subscribers, he’s second only to PewDiePie — and his empire continues to grow. With over six official channels, a successful restaurant chain, a chocolate bar line, and his very own charity, MrBeast’s success is the envy of many content creators… but he’s not done yet. In an October 5 podcast episode with the ‘Tiny Meat Gang,’ MrBeast spoke on the possibility of running for President of the United States to “fix” some of the nation’s issues. MrBeast reveals his plan to run for United States President “Yeah, maybe in like, 20 years, we’ll see,” he said of the subject. “Yeah, I wanna try to make a ton of money and then just give it all away right before I announce my campaign. Imagine I have 10 billion dollars and I just give it all away, and I’m just like, ‘I can’t be bought.’ I had it all. Give it all away. That’s pretty powerful.” “And then, instead of giving in to lobbyists or agendas, I just like, do whatever’s good for the American people. Sounds like it’d be a good idea.” “I think I could, to be honest,” he continued. “I think when I’m 40. Because I do think Presidents are just getting way too f**king old. Especially by then, a lot of the older people in America will die out and there will be more people around our age. I think we’re due for younger Presidents.” (Topic begins at 1:14:00) This isn’t the first time MrBeast has hinted at running for Prez; he brought up the topic back in 2020, saying he’d like to run “one day” when he’s more mature. He’s not the only YouTuber who’s considered the Presidency in their career plans, either. Logan Paul has publicly considered the prospect multiple times, previously planning a 2032 run with Jake as Secretary of Defense in a viral podcast episode. For now, it looks like both influencers are allowing themselves to mature before getting into politics — and that’s just as well, seeing as candidates must be at least 35 years old to run for the highest office in the United States and they’re still in their twenties.

MrBeast claps back after Jacksepticeye claims he “ruined YouTube” – Dexerto
MrBeast claps back after Jacksepticeye claims he “ruined YouTube” Instagram: mrbeast / Instagram: jacksepticeyeA polygraph test had ‘Jacksepticeye’ admit that he didn’t like ‘MrBeast’ and believed the popular creator “ruined YouTube.” Now MrBeast has responded, calling the accusation “insanely disrespectful.” YouTube’s philanthropists are beefing after Jacksepticeye admitted during a polygraph test that he didn’t like MrBeast. The answer was deemed truthful, with Jack continuing to roast the content creator by answering “yes” when asked whether MrBeast “ruined YouTube.” “[YouTube] became more about views, money, and popularity than it did about having fun,” Jack explained. “If he had fun doing those videos, they’d be longer.” The clip caused an uproar online and was eventually seen by MrBeast himself, who called Jack’s comments “insanely disrespectful.” Responding via Twitter, MrBeast wrote, “Sooo, I ‘ruined YouTube’ because I didn’t buy a mansion and sports cars and instead reinvested my [money] into making content/focused on doing good and inspiring kids to help people?” He also expressed bafflement over Jack’s comment surrounding the length of his videos, saying he wouldn’t have given up “every hour” of his life for the last 14 years if he didn’t enjoy what he was doing. MrBeast concluded that there was “so much” he could say about Jack’s content, but ultimately decided to “take the punches and be the bigger man.” While many fans rushed to defend MrBeast, some felt Jack’s comments had been misunderstood. “I don’t think he’s blaming you directly but more the impact your content has had on copycats rising up trying to simulate your growth whilst crushing all form of uniqueness and personality out of their YouTube videos,” one person wrote. “It’s definitely changed the culture of what making videos once was.” We’ll be sure to update you as the story progresses.

MrBeast confirms “most expensive” video ever coming for 100 million subscriber special Instagram: mrbeastYouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has revealed that he’s been planning his “most expensive and insane” video ever to celebrate his fast approaching 100 million subscriber milestone. MrBeast has been making YouTube videos for over a decade, and in that time he has become one of the most popular creators on the platform. He’s known for his wild video ideas that feature increasingly bizarre challenges, as well as his efforts in philanthropy such as the Team Trees and Team Seas campaign. At 99 million subscribers, Jimmy is getting ever closer to hitting that massive 100 million subscriber milestone on his main channel, and on July 17 the star revealed that he has something impressive in the works to celebrate. On Twitter, he wrote: “We’ve been working on our 100 million subscriber special all year and it’s my most expensive and insane video ever! I can’t wait to hit 100 mil and upload this.” The fact that this is set to be his most expensive video to date has got the attention of fans, as Jimmy and his team have already done some enormous YouTube projects. In 2021 he uploaded what became his most successful video to date in the form of his Squid Game recreation, which he estimated cost around $3.5 million including building and production costs, as well as prizes. It’s not yet clear what this 100 million subscriber special will be, but fans are eagerly awaiting the star to hit the big milestone so they can find out more. MrBeast hasn’t just been seeing success with his YouTube endeavors lately — he also revealed in July that his wildly popular burger chain MrBeast Burger has made over $100 million in revenue, which is shared with the restaurants that fulfill the orders.

MrBeast claims people are trying to “cancel” him for doing good deeds – Dexerto
MrBeast claims people are trying to “cancel” him for doing good deeds YouTube: MrBeastMrBeast seems sure people will try to cancel him for “helping people” following a recent YouTube upload where he traveled across Africa building 100 wells. MrBeast has only continued his meteoric rise as an influencer over 2023, breaking numerous records and partnering with massive companies like Meta. However, 2023 has not been without its controversies for the YouTube star and philanthropist, such as when he garnered backlash after posting a video where he paid for over a thousand people’s surgery to “cure blindness.“ Now, it seems the viral star is getting ahead of the curve after tweeting that he “doesn’t care” if people try to cancel him for “helping people,” after uploading a video of him and his team building 100 wells in Africa. MrBeast ‘doesn’t care’ if people try to cancel him On November 4, 2023, MrBeast uploaded a video to his main YouTube channel titled, “I Built 100 Wells In Africa.” As the video suggests, the YouTube philanthropist and his team flew across Africa helping to build wells in 100 locations to provide clean drinking water to villages and school systems. Not long after uploading the video, MrBeast posted the following on X: “I already know I’m gonna get canceled because I uploaded a video helping people, and to be 100% clear, I don’t care. I’m always going to use my channel to help people and try to inspire my audience to do the same.” At the time of writing, MrBeast’s video has over 13 million views in just four hours, with 1.8 million likes compared to 13,000 dislikes. As such, it seems as though MrBeast was anticipating getting some hate for the video’s concept. In contrast, many of the replies to the YouTuber’s post were largely positive and encouraging. Despite instances of backlash for some of his past philanthropy efforts, it seems clear the YouTuber won’t let any naysayers stop him going forward.

MrBeast claims “huge” YouTube Shorts change will force TikTok’s biggest stars to jump ship – Dexerto
MrBeast claims “huge” YouTube Shorts change will force TikTok’s biggest stars to jump ship Instagram: MrBeastMrBeast believes many of the biggest names on TikTok today will soon abandon the platform in favor of YouTube Shorts once a new advertising revenue split comes into effect in 2023. There’s no denying the success countless personalities have had through TikTok. From unknowns to internet celebs overnight, the rapid-fire video streaming platform has seen dozens of stars make it big over the years. However, the brand’s dominance over short-form content could soon be coming to an end, according to YouTube king MrBeast. While even he once thought TikTok would overtake YouTube as the biggest video platform on the market, admitting as much in his appearance on the Full Send Podcast, MrBeast has changed his tune of late. As a result of some “huge strides” in recent months, the content-creating icon now firmly believes YouTube Shorts will come to dominate the space TikTok currently resides over. “When you get ads on Shorts now… Starting in January, [YouTube is] going to share the revenue with creators,” he explained. “Starting in January, if you get a billion views on TikTok, hypothetically, that’s like $1,000. If you get a billion views here on YouTube, that could literally make you $100,000.” When this particular change rolls around, MrBeast argued it’ll be enough to drive the biggest names on TikTok over to YouTube. “Charli D’Amelio, Addison Rae, all these people,” he continued. “If they can just do what they’re doing but over on YouTube, they’ll make a bag off of Shorts and on top of that, it boosts their long-form content which makes even more money. You’re gonna be crazy to be a TikTok-first content creator.” Through engagement with short-form content, longer videos from the same creator will allegedly be promoted more frequently by the algorithm. In essence, social media celebs could look to house all of their video content on the one platform, with each form being mutually beneficial to the other. With advertisements placed throughout, MrBeast finds it difficult to picture a future where TikTok stays ahead. “Google has been in this ad business for over a decade. The YouTube partner program has been around for over a decade. They just have a ton of experience doing it that I think TikTok is going to take quite a while to catch up.” MrBeast discusses YouTube Shorts over TikTok at the 58:25 mark below. Moreover, YouTube is also supposedly set to tidy up its delivery of short-form content as well. No longer will Shorts be displayed next to longer content on YouTube channels, according to MrBeast, having “yelled at YouTube many times” to fix the “f***ing hideous” layout we see today. “Your one-hour podcast shouldn’t be next to a 30-second video,” he said. If TikTok doesn’t also look to split a bigger chunk of its advertising revenue with creators in the near future, MrBeast believes it could spell doom for the platform. As YouTube ramps up its Shorts program, we could see many jumping over akin to how many popular streamers have been lured to the Google-backed team over Twitch in recent years.

MrBeast claims he could’ve helped Netflix “immensely” with Squid Game reality TV show – Dexerto
MrBeast claims he could’ve helped Netflix “immensely” with Squid Game reality TV show YouTube: MrBeastYouTube star MrBeast has claimed he could’ve helped streaming platform Netflix “immensely” with their Squid Game reality TV show. MrBeast currently holds the title of the biggest independent YouTuber in the world, sitting at the top of the platform with a staggering 185 million subscribers. It’s no wonder the YouTube star is the king of the platform too, always pushing boundaries when it comes to making content. While his videos have continued to get bigger and better over the years, one stands out among them all. That being his viral Squid Game recreation, amassing over 500 million views on YouTube to date. Squid Game took the world by storm in 2021, becoming the most popular show to air on Netflix only 12 days after its release, where fans began to call on MrBeast to recreate the hit Korean drama series. It’s fair to say when the video eventually arrived, MrBeast completely smashed it out of the park, creating an almost identical real-life Squid Game that was even praised by the show’s writer. Now, over two years since Squid Game’s release, Netflix has announced its own real-life reality TV show based on the series. Despite his viral recreation, MrBeast wasn’t involved at all in the making of the show, yet claims he could’ve helped Netflix with the production. MrBeast says he could’ve helped Netflix with Squid Game reality show Following the recent announcement, fellow YouTuber Casey Nesitat asked MrBeast if had any involvement in Netflix’s new adaption of Squid Game. To much surprise of his fans, the 25-year-old revealed he had nothing to do with the new reality TV show. Although he claimed he could’ve helped Netflix “immensely” with what he learned shooting his own version of the show — and would’ve even done it for free. “I’m not involved. Kind of funny because I learned so much from my filming of this and I probably could have helped them immensely (and would have done it for free haha)” he wrote. Squid Game: The Challenge is set to release on November 22, 2023, and is expected to have the biggest cash prize in reality TV show history with $4.56 million up for grabs to match the 456 players.

MrBeast claims copycat YouTubers are “getting out of hand” stealing his ideas – Dexerto
MrBeast claims copycat YouTubers are “getting out of hand” stealing his ideas YouTube: MrBeastYouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has called out fellow YouTubers who have been copying his content to pull in the views. MrBeast has enjoyed huge success on YouTube throughout 2021 and 2022. Having hit the 100 million subscriber milestone, he’s also broken records with his mind-blowing content, one of his most memorable being his Squid Game IRL recreation. So, it’s no surprise that various YouTubers have also been wanting to get a taste of the action in the hopes of getting half the success that MrBeast has achieved. However, various creators have been taking the opportunity to copy MrBeast’s content completely which has become increasingly frustrating for the 24-year-old. MrBeast calls on creators to stop copying his content On September 18, MrBeast shared his response after a fan Louis-Philippe Papineau voiced their annoyance over seeing more and more YouTubers copying MrBeast’s content formula. “I’m so tired of MrBeast copycats,” they tweeted. “We’ve all been there, we’ve all [tried] it. But now it’s time to move on […] Keep in mind, it’s perfectly fine to copy others when we start, this is how we create our own identity.” MrBeast agreed adding that the situation was starting to get “out of hand” even for him. Well-known for his various good deeds, MrBeast has given a hand to multiple up-and-coming YouTubers by sharing advice to help their popularity grow. But, many have just gone ahead and copied his style in order to get viewers which has been increasingly worrying for YouTube creators like TommyInnit. One famous MrBeast copycat incident back in 2019 involved his fellow YouTuber Morgz as the two fought a long feud over who was stealing whose content. MrBeast certainly isn’t struggling to hit the viewership numbers every time he posts a new video. However, given the length of time and the amount of money he spends to create them, it’s no doubt frustrating to see other creators copying his signature style.
