Mr Beast is hailed across the net as one of social media\u2019s biggest philanthropists, having given away money at \u201cfree banks\u201d and even opening a free car dealership for families in need of transportation. With over 31.9 million subscribers on YouTube, it comes as little surprise that Donaldson boasts a massive fanbase \u2014 but fame isn\u2019t all sunshine and roses, as he revealed during a collaborative video with artist \u201cZHC.\u201d ZHC, who has historically gifted Mr Beast and other YouTube stars such custom items as phone cases, art prints, and shoes, turned things up a notch by customizing a Tesla with Donaldson\u2019s tiger logo. After driving the vehicle to Mr Beast\u2019s home state, the YouTuber sadly revealed that he couldn\u2019t actually keep the car, admitting that past home invasions are keeping him cautious of anything that would give away his identity. \u201cI\u2019ve had people break into my house before, and so that would give away where I live,\u201d he explained to ZHC, instead opting to gift the Tesla to one of his friends. \u201cMy house has been broken into before, and I have a lot of stalkers,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo I obviously can\u2019t drive a car like this. People will follow me.\u201d (Segment begins at 11:45 for mobile readers) Therefore, he conducted a match of rock, paper scissors between partners Chris and Chandler, with the winner getting to keep the vehicle, with Chris ultimately emerging the victor. Mr Beast isn\u2019t the only online superstar who has fallen victim to stalkers: Twitch streamer \u201cSweet Anita\u201d revealed that a stalker had moved to her city, and even slept outside of her home, claiming that he was later released by police in spite of his disturbing advances. He has also gone from planning a short visit my town, to moving to a place 4 minutes from me permanently. I&#8217;m very used to the lack of protection from the police at this point, I guess I&#8217;ll have to get used to seeing him around too. \u2014 Sweet Anita (@sweetanita) November 8, 2019 Even YouTube king PewDiePie has dealt with such issues, notably begging fans to stop visiting his house and even getting robbed in 2019, losing \u201c90%\u201d of his and his wife\u2019s valuables from their home in Japan. In spite of their massive success online, being famous isn\u2019t all it\u2019s cracked up to be, with Mr Beast\u2019s case being one of many experienced by content creators the world over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Beast reveals how \u201cstalkers\u201d stopped him from keeping custom Tesla ZHC, YouTubeJimmy \u201cMr Beast\u201d Donaldson is one of YouTube\u2019s top content creators, best known for giving out huge amounts of cash in his videos \u2014 but it seems like his reputation has kept him from receiving a massive gift himself.
