Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, has been one of the biggest and most influential YouTubers in the world. He is known for his absurd challenges and massive cash giveaways. Being true to his reputation, on his 25th birthday, Jimmy conducted a cash giveaway on his channel. He promised to give $10,000 to each of the winners.
Jimmy posted the giveaway on May 7. He promised that five randomly picked followers would share a massive pot of $50,000. However, after the post went public and Jimmy gained an enormous boost with 13 million new followers, Instagram decided to remove the post. According to reports, this post somehow broke the community guidelines of the platform. But Jimmy took this like a champ.

After Instagram decided to remove the post, MrBeast doubled down and announced that instead of five, now 10 winners will share a $100,000 prize pool.

Jimmy does two philanthropic deeds in 24 hours before his birthday special
Each individual will receive a $10,000 cash prize from MrBeast and his team. Jimmy may give away sizeable amounts to strangers, but he doesn’t do it only for content or clout. Under the MrBeast brand, Jimmy has been running countless charity acts and welfare movements.
In one of his most recent ventures, Jimmy helped 1,000 deaf people get their hearing back. In this video, we could see MrBeast spend $3,00,000 to get his hands on cutting-edge hearing aid technology. Although this was a “philanthropic” act, Jimmy received brutal criticism and toxic hate from a loud group on the internet. Seeing the unwanted hate he was receiving, many of his friends, including the new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, came to his aid!

While that was a video that made our eyes teary, MrBeast uploaded yet another video within 24 hours, this time on the philanthropy channel. Darren Margolias took the lead in this journey, where the team provided help to 2000 amputees. Initially, the team had only decided to provide 150 prosthetics. However, seeing the need for more, the team extended what they wanted to offer. And just like that, MrBeast revealed to the world two of his many philanthropic works before his birthday special.
