MrBeast jokes about almost \u201cgoing bankrupt\u201d over his free store promotion MrBeast, YouTubePopular YouTuber Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 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 \u201cfree store.\u201d Unlike his $1 store from late January, this time, MrBeast and co. let shoppers haul off with one item each \u2013 for absolutely free. MrBeast\u2019s video on the topic saw a slew of shoppers from throughout his community take part in the festivities, \u201cbuying\u201d everything from gaming consoles to HD TVs, which he\u2019d purchased from a tech store \u2013 and even a bag of blackened bananas. Of course, MrBeast isn\u2019t one to withhold his generosity, and even gave out wads of cash to customers via his \u201crewards program\u201d (meaning that the lucky guy who made off with the bananas got $500 in compensation). The former mayor of MrBeast\u2019s 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\u2019s \u201cfree store\u201d didn\u2019t go off without a hitch, however; the YouTuber shared a few mishaps that occurred prior to the video\u2019s 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 \u201cgoing bankrupt\u201d due to giving away the free goodies, claiming that his \u201cinvestors\u201d would be angry at their lack of profit \u2013 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\u2019t want shoppers to \u201cto not be able to afford stuff.\u201d I\u2019m opening another store but this time everything is free. It was $1 last time and I don\u2019t want people to not be able to afford stuff. pic.twitter.com\/QvtVCfLz1I \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) June 6, 2019 While MrBeast is hailed as a good Samaritan throughout the internet, he\u2019s 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\u2019s funds would be better spent supporting existing shelters, prompting him to reply that he might switch up his idea in the future \u2013 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. \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) June 12, 2019 Whatever the case may be, there\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
