How MrBeast Shocked His Mother With a Clever Response to His First Brand Deal

Jimmy Donaldson a.k.a MrBeast is, without any doubt, one of the most loved and popular YouTubers at this point. He has been credited with pioneering a genre of videos that majorly focuses on expensive stunts, fun challenges, and vlogging. With over 90 million subscribers on YouTube (main channel only), MrBeast is on his way to hitting that 9 digit milestone sooner than ever.

Naturally, with such a huge following on his social media accounts, fans want to know more about MrBeast and his personal life. Recently, in his documentary, MrBeast revealed some details about his first-ever brand deal for five thousand dollars.

However, surprisingly he turned down the offer. But why?

MrBeast’s first brand deal for five thousand dollars

While talking about his first brand deal, MrBeast notes, “So, this is where things get fun. My first ever actual brand deal. Basically, this agent manager type of guy that represents quid called me and was like, hey we’ll give you five thousand dollars for a video which was insane at the time. Just I make a video and I get five grand.” Notably, it was quite a big step for MrBeast to get his first-ever brand deal. After getting the deal, the first thing he did was to call his mother, of course.

His mother notes, “Jimmy calls me and he is like over the moon. “Mom, mom, mom, you never going to believe what just happened. Somebody just offered me five thousand dollars to put an ad on my channel” and I was like five thousand dollars. That’s really really great.”

Interestingly, MrBeast was thinking way ahead of everyone as he turned down that offer to demand 10 thousand dollars for one video. As it turns out, he wanted those 10,000 dollars to give to a homeless person. Naturally, everyone was shocked by this decision and thought that it was pretty much stupid to give the first brand deal money to someone else.

But here comes the twist: that video of MrBeast giving 10,000 dollars to a homeless person blew the internet, getting million of views and hundreds of subscribers on the channel.
