Recalling the Time When MrBeast Turned His Fan Into a Millionaire and Almost Bought an Entire PlayStation Store

At this point, we all know who and how MrBeast is. Throwing a couple of million dollars into his videos is nothing big for him. But if we rewind just a few years back, when he was still exploring his formula, giving a fan a sum as large as a million dollars was beyond crazy. 

Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, is currently one of the biggest names on YouTube. He has over 111 million subscribers and billions of total views on his channel. But not just YouTube, MrBeast has astonishing success in other sectors, with his fast-food chain Beast Burgers and Chocolate company Feastables. 

But no matter how far Jimmy goes, he never stops striving for better heights. With each massive revenue that he earns, he invests most of it in, making his content bigger and wilder. So, with each passing day, Jimmy sets a new bar on the scale of content on YouTube, turning each video into a feat of history. 

MrBeast once turned a fan into a millionaire 

Back in 2019, Jimmy had a challenge video on his channel called, “Last To Take Hand Off $1,000,000 Keeps It.” In that challenge, one of his subscribers named Mark came out as victorious and claimed the massive price of $1 Million dollars.

In a video following the challenge, called “Spending $1,000,000 In 24 Hours,” Jimmy let Mark spend his prize money in any way he wants. Mark, getting such a massive opportunity in his hands, couldn’t determine what to do. But Jimmy was there to guide him. 

Though Jimmy let Mark spend the money just as he liked, at the same time he guided him so that he takes the right decisions with the money. At first, Mark went to an electronics shop and almost emptied the stocks of Sony PlayStations, Nintendo Switches, Apple Watches, and many more. 

Jimmy guided Mark in his spending

Mark gave them to his family and friends, then proceeded to buy some gifts for his wife. He bought diamonds for her and other gifts. But MrBeast intervened after that. He advised Mark to make some good use of the money. He advised him to make an investment in real estate and he even took him to a financial investor. 

At the time, Jimmy told Mark that the main reason why he made this video following his challenge was that he didn’t want him to get “Scr*wd over.” So he gave his best efforts to make sure that mark was alright with the money. He even gave a whole roundup about where all the whole million dollars went. He even gave the tax roundup of all the spending to prove he had actually made one of his fans a millionaire!
