MrBeast loves supporting under-appreciated streamers who are dedicated to showing their game style to the public. During one of his videos where the Beast gang was giving out a total of $100,000 to streamers with zero viewers, they stumbled upon an interesting streamer.
Jimmy asked Chandler to get this streamer some money, and they ended up donating $10,000 to him. The reaction of Kilby Plays (the streamer) was quite hilarious, and this helped him push further in life.
Kilby loved gaming and streaming, but later, after getting the necessary financial stability, he moved on to the real estate and shined in that field by achieving magical numbers. Later, the streamer came back to gaming and streaming, stating that this is where his heart truly lies.
2. Atilla Bakk
This is a story that began like a dream but soon went downhill. MrBeast and co. found his stream to be quite unique at first. Because the streamer was sleeping live on air. So, to try and wake him up, Jimmy donated $10,000 to him. At first, it was hilarious to see that when he woke up hearing the notification, Bakk thought it was just $10. Later, he realized and was seen pretty happy about it.
He decided to become a full-time streamer in real life after this and also went on to marry his girlfriend. But things went south after that. His streams started being a place of arguments and toxicity. This even led to him and his wife losing custody of their newborn, stating that they were not fit for parenthood. It seems like the streamer is trying to recoup currently and is trying to come back clean.
3. Tfue
The third entry in the list is none other than the popular Fortnite streamer Tfue. During Jimmy’s budding days, the MrBeast channel decided to make a video on donating money to the popular streamer Tfue. For this, Jimmy and the team traveled for more than 10 hours to reach Tfue’s house.
Jimmy’s challenge for the Fortnite pro was that for each kill he gets Donaldson would give him $500 dollars. He went on to take 13 kills in that match. Jimmy assured the rest of the money if he gets a victory royale in his second match, but it did not go Tfue’s way and he was quickly eliminated in the battle royale match.
But Jimmy, being his typical self, gave away the money to Tfue after they both faced off in a classic rock paper scissors match.
4. Sixtothegreat
This was yet another life-changing donation that Jimmy made. He and his friends were looking for interesting Minecraft streamers when they found sixtothegreat. Jimmy wanted to send him a unique amount and, as per Chris’s suggestion, they sent him $6,900. The streamer really could not believe his eyes.
To make it more interesting and also to put the realization of getting thousands of dollars into the streamer’s mind, they donated a thousand dollars more. And at last to top it off, again a $5,000 dollars.

This money helped Sixtothegreat to buy a car and put the rest of the money away as a down payment for a house.
5. Renidrag
The association with MrBeast changed this streamer’s life. After Jimmy found this streamer online, the YouTube king had some interesting challenges for Reni. He was shocked to see that MrBeast was in his chat, but these challenges took his mind away quite fast. Jimmy wanted him to get a diamond in just 60 secs and a nether portal in another 60 secs.
Though it was difficult, Reni was successful in doing so and won $14,000. His career took off after that, and he gained much momentum, amassing nearly half a million subscribers. One of his videos topped a million views. But currently, the streamer is witnessing a downfall in views as most of his videos were not performing at the viral level.
6. SpaceLyon
He is one of the most humble streamers MrBeast has come across. His wholesome nature stole the heart of Jimmy and he went on to donate $30,000 to the streamer. This moment was a shocking turn in the life of the streamer. His stream also jumped to 3K viewers at this particular time as well.

Moving forward, Space Lyon started having around 700 concurrent viewers on his stream and even signed with FaZe. Currently, he is busy trying to launch the first-ever Web3 Esports event and expo.
7. CourageJD
He is currently one of the prominent figures in the Esports franchising front. Co-owner of 100 Thieves had a time before his boom where he met with MrBeast. Jimmy with Miniminter decided to give Courage $70,000 dollars if he won a Fortnite match. Though the match was mediocre with just around four kills, Courage managed to score the homerun and win the match.
The excited Courage was later seen on a call with his dad to share the wholehearted news. We all know how he went up the ladder in the subsequent years.
8. Benex
This speedrunner got a unique challenge from MrBeast. Jimmy wanted him to finish the game in under one hour for a whooping prize of $50,000. Though it seemed possible for a talented speed runner, more difficulty was added when Jimmy raided his channel with his massive supporters. With a few minutes left on the clock, Benex eventually beat the game and claimed the massive amount.
9. Ninja
Jimmy has donated two times to the Fortnite icon. The first time it was $30,000 and the second time a whopping $50,000. Both times it was for a charity event that Ninja was hosting. Their interactions were hilarious and very engaging.
In the second challenge, Jimmy made Ninja do a wide variety of hilarious challenges and yet again, the conversation proved to be amazing. Later, Ninja revealed that he was able to raise a bit more than $300,000 for the charity.
10. Shroud
