Mr Beast targets new retweet record with massive Christmas giveaway MrBeastWhat do you get when you combine MrBeast, Twitter and Christmas? The answer is a potential new retweet record, as the YouTuber offered to dish out $10,000 each to five lucky retweeters. The tweet has unsurprisingly exploded. YouTuber Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is best known for conjuring up crazy initiatives with the idea of helping make people\u2019s lives better. This Christmas, he\u2019s done everything from opening up his own burger chain to relaunching his \u201cFinger on the App\u201d challenge with a $100k prize \u2013 all in the name of charity. This latest giveaway is a bit more simple, and isn\u2019t the first time he\u2019s done a giveaway like it, either. Back in May 2019, to celebrate his birthday, he offered a $10,000 prize to a lucky retweeter, and the tweet blew up. Prior to this latest giveaway, it has over 1.1million retweets, and was easily his most popular. It\u2019s currently sat snugly in the top 20 most-retweeted tweets ever. I\u2019m going give someone random who retweets this tweet $10,000 because it\u2019s my birthday and I feel like being nice \u263a\ufe0f (you have to be following me so I can dm you the code if you win) \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeast) May 7, 2019 In fact, it got so popular he ended up adding a secondary prize, as bonus cash prizes of $1,000 were sent to ten other retweeters as a \u201crunner-up\u201d prize in the competition. However, it\u2019s looking like this latest giveaway, where he\u2019s giving five random retweeters $10,000 each, has blown his 2019 one out the water. At the time of writing, it\u2019s not quite hit the 1.1m mark I\u2019m going to give 5 people that retweet this tweet $10,000 each to celebrate Christmas! (Make sure you follow me so I can dm you if you win!). I will show proof! \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeast) December 25, 2020 He\u2019s got a way to go if he\u2019s to beat the most-retweeted tweet of all-time, though. Japanese billionaire Yusaka Maezawa offered to give away 100 lots of 1million yen ($9661.84) back in January 2019. He clocked in well over 4million retweets, so MrBeast still has some ground to catch up. To crack the top ten, he\u2019ll need to outdo this tweet by Spaniard elrubius, who offered to give away free lemonade to retweeters. That sits at just over 1.5m retweets, which feels much more achievable. Either way, the competition\u2019s still got plenty of time left to run. If word spreads well enough, we could be seeing MrBeast smashing all kinds of records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
