MrBeast smashes Team Seas goal as donation drive breaks $30 million Team SeasJimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson has announced Team Seas has smashed its goal of removing 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean by raising $30 million thanks to donations from fans, content creators, and even billionaires. In October 2021, MrBeast launched Team Seas in an effort to clean up 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean. He also planned to topple Team Trees, a previous endeavor that helped plant 20 million trees. Less than a week after Team Seas kicked off, he revealed that they\u2019d already removed six million pounds of trash from the ocean. Three months on, MrBeast achieved the ultimate goal of removing 30 million pounds. You did it, #TeamSeas! THIRTY. MILLION. POUNDS. pic.twitter.com\/S83bV4YxWb \u2014 #TeamSeas (@teamseas) January 2, 2022 MrBeast was thrilled with the enormous effort. \u201cWe did it!\u201d he said. \u201cAustin Russell noticed we came up a few million pounds short, so he got us over 30 million.\u201d Austin Russell is the world\u2019s youngest self-made billionaire at 26-years-old. He founded Luminar Technologies, a company that develops vision-based lidar and machine perception technologies for self-driving cars. It wasn\u2019t all about his massive donation, though. MrBeast also thanked the 600,000-plus other people who donated to TeamSeas, including content creators. \u201cWe literally raised enough money to remove 30,000,000 pounds of trash from the ocean. That\u2019s freakin\u2019 insane,\u201d he added in a subsequent tweet. \u201cIt just hit me how crazy that number is.\u201d We did it! Austin Russell noticed we came up a few million pounds short so he got us over 30 million \ud83d\ude02 Shout out to the over 600,000 different people that donated to TeamSeas and the creator community for being so awesome in supporting this \ud83e\udd7a\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f #teamseas pic.twitter.com\/DBUNQoYAit \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeast) January 2, 2022 Although they hit the target goal, it\u2019s only the beginning for Team Seas.
