In the world of the internet there are more and more creators trying to make a name for themselves. Some make videos about video games, others about travel and a billion other topics. But if you ask any of them who MrBeast is, they will tell you he is the biggest YouTuber of all time. That is why today we decided to write an article about this creator.
To be honest, in the editorial team we are quite hooked on this creator. His challenges, his spectacular donations and the magnificent editing and production of his videos have earned him, deservedly, millions and millions of views. We are going to talk a little about him and how he has achieved so much success. Let’s start.
Who is MrBeast?
MrBeast is the stage name of Jimmy Donaldson, a young man born in 1998 in Kansas. His career as a YouTuber began in 2012 where he mainly posted videos related to Minecraft and Call of Duty, like 90% of creators at the time. But Jimmy discovered that there was something that really caught viewers’ attention: challenges.
In 2017 he made a video in which he counted to 100,000, which is really a grind. Well, the video amassed millions of views attracted by this challenge, which I don’t know if we could call extreme. From there he also realized that videos in which he donated huge amounts of money to random people also went massively viral. And from there, the rest is history.
MrBeast has more than 300 million subscribers on YouTube
Today you can go to any corner of the world and everyone will know who MrBeast is. His impact is completely global and Jimmy has more than 300 million subscribers on YouTube. That is truly astonishing. But besides the main channel he also has some secondary ones like Beast Philanthropy or MrBeast Gaming which also have millions of subscribers.
He is the most important YouTuber in the world and the truth is that he lives for and by his videos. His base camp is in Greenville and he has an amazing team that accompanies and helps him in his future challenges. In fact you probably saw the second “21 días de Nil, Misho y Guanyar” where the challenge was meeting MrBeast, and there you can see the enormity of the character and his whole crew.
MrBeast has a real empire outside of YouTube
One of the things that clearly defines Jimmy and everything he represents is his ability to make money and also his generosity when it comes to helping others. Let’s start with the businesses: as you can imagine MrBeast has diversified his income and does not live only off the 4 or 5 million a month he must earn from YouTube.
Besides collaborating with multiple brands such as Microsoft, there are two initiatives that Jimmy is very fond of. On one hand a burger chain called MrBeast Burger and his famous chocolate brand called Feastables. Both businesses are thriving and provide Jimmy with a good amount of money yearly.
Regarding his quite charitable side, we’ve seen him building houses in Central America, planting 20 million trees with his Team Trees initiative, or trying to clean the oceans with Team Seas. He has managed to raise many millions of dollars for different charitable causes and some even say he should run for President of the United States. A lot of people would vote for him, there’s no doubt about that.
What are MrBeast’s best videos?
Well, there are a ton. It’s very difficult for us to choose which are the best, but we did it. In the editorial office, with paper and pen, we selected what we consider his top 5 videos. Here they are:
- «I Gave $1,000,000 To Random People» – This video shows MrBeast donating large sums of money to strangers, which established him as one of the most generous creators on YouTube. The reactions of the beneficiaries are emotional and the video quickly went viral.
- «Last To Leave Circle Wins $500,000» – An epic challenge in which participants must stay inside a circle for days or even weeks to win an astronomical sum of money. This type of content has become a hallmark of MrBeast.
- «Squid Game In Real Life» – One of his most expensive and elaborate videos, where he recreated the challenges from the popular series Squid Game with 456 participants and a cash prize of $456,000. The production of the video was so impressive that it became one of his most viewed videos.
- «MrBeast’s $100,000 Bunker vs $1,000,000 House» – Extreme comparisons of places to live, ranging from bunkers to multimillion-dollar mansions. This type of video attracts the curiosity of millions of people.
How long will MrBeast’s reign last?
We think it will last as long as he wants. Unlike other content creators, we don’t see Jimmy streaming every day. He locks himself away for a while and releases an amazing video. The truth is he is a global phenomenon. His videos are translated into many languages and his influence on other internet content is very large.
