MrBeast surprises 9-year-old fan with a Tesla and they almost missed it completely Instagram: MrBeastJimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson recently released merch that allowed buyers to appear as an \u201cexecutive producer\u201d at the end of a video. When 9-year-old fan Alexander Hedge paused it to take pictures by his name, he didn\u2019t realize he had just won a car. YouTube philanthropist MrBeast has given away millions of dollars in cash and possessions over the last few years. This time, he may have found one of his youngest fans. Living in Sarasota, Florida, Alexander and his 12-year-old brother Preston Hedge both love watching YouTube creator MrBeast together. Back in July of 2021, MrBeast announced a new \u2018executive producer\u2019 collection of merch, so Hedge asked his dad if he could get something so his name could appear in the credits of the next video. MrBeast gifts \u201cexecutive producer\u201d Tesla \u201cWe paused it at Alexander\u2019s name, and you know, he thought that was very cool,\u201d Alexander\u2019s father, Thomas Hedge told the Sarasota Herald Tribune. \u201cWe pointed to it, got some pictures on the screen, and then we didn\u2019t push play anymore.\u201d It wasn\u2019t until two days later when Alexander met with some friends at a local restaurant when he learned the news of him winning a car. \u201cNaturally, I\u2019m skeptical, I\u2019m like, \u2018come on Issac, you\u2019re kidding around right?\u201d \u201cMrBeast brought out the Tesla and said that we didn\u2019t tell you guys, but we wrapped all the names of the people who bought the T-shirt on the Tesla,\u201d Hedge said in disbelief. \u201cAnd one of his friends is going to pick up the name of the person who wins.\u201d (Timestamp at 15:12 for mobile readers) After going back to watch the video and seeing Chandler choose his name out of the hundreds on the car, Alexander\u2019s jaw-dropped and he asked his dad: \u201cIs this real?\u201d It was indeed real, and just a few weeks later, MrBeast delivered the vehicle to the Hedges, who have since been using it to transport the kids back and forth from school. Alexander is still a few years away from the legal driving age, so he\u2019ll have to let his dad chauffeur him around for a while until he can take the MrBeast Tesla out for a spin himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
