Despite His Giving Nature, MrBeast Once Spent $50,000 of His Massive Net Worth to Battle the Dangerous Crohn’s Disease

Every YouTube enthusiast is by now familiar with MrBeast and his generosity. One of the most popular streamers around the globe, Jimmy Donaldson has not only carved a niche for himself in the history of YouTube but also managed to do a lot of good for the community. His brand, under the name “MrBeast”, grew fast and huge within a short span of time. 

Owing to his quirky and intriguing content, MrBeast quickly became one of the richest YouTubers. He was, in fact, the highest-paid YouTuber as According to Forbes, the popular content creator earned an astonishing $56 million last year. Donaldson has managed to attract almost 96 million subscribers (95.6 million to be exact, as of May 2022) on his YouTube channel. Not only has he built a community of his own, but his fans also love fueling his goal to help the world. 

Although he is most popular due to his philanthropic and humble nature, we recently discovered a surprising fact about Donaldson’s spending patterns. And to be more precise, his refrigerator – apparently cost him fifty grand to install! 

MrBeast endured Crohn’s Disease symptoms since ninth grade

Much of MrBeast’s goodness could be attributed to his childhood. The popular man hasn’t been very vocal about his battle with Crohn’s disease, the reason being he isn’t exactly comfortable doing so. However, he did clear out some basics about the disease in a video he made. 

“Crohn’s isn’t the worst thing ever, I mean there are people who have way worse diseases,” he said, as he started his narration. “There are worse things than Crohn’s out there, which is why sometimes I’m a little bit hesitant to talk about it or complain about it.”

Although he’s known for his “give everything away” nature, MrBeast is reportedly very particular about his personal investments. In a casual interview with EJ Dickson via RollingStone, MrBeast mentions how he doesn’t “give a f**k about money”. 

Mr. Beast’s care for functionality over looks is inspiring

His assistant mentions how he was (once) fine with having lawn chairs in his living room and mattresses on the floor. “I don’t give a sh*t about looks, I just care about functionality.” Mr. Beast tells EJ.

However, as EJ describes in his piece, Mr. Beast is supposedly very obsessed with his belongings and how much they cost. For example, the YouTuber currently owns a custom-built, double-sided refrigerator that cost him 50 grand to set up. That is, indeed, massive investment for a refrigerator! 

His refrigerator worth $50,000 could help him in his fight against Crohn’s

MrBeast further explains the investment to clear all doubts. The refrigerator helps his chef deliver meals from the outside without disturbing him. Because it is double-ended, all the chef has to do is open his side of the door and keep the cooked food inside.

To us, it is quite a valid investment. Considering the chronic disease he suffers from and his work schedule, following a strict diet at all times can become very tough. In a way, his 50 grand refrigerator can save him the distraction while he’s busy creating videos.  

Having a chef is a necessity for Mr. Beast as he needs to be on a specific diet plan. As for the refrigerator, it lets him and his chef maintain a meal schedule easily, without interrupting his video creation schedule!
