MrBeast is currently ruling the internet with his amazing and engaging content. There’s no doubt about the fact that he’s destined to witness more success in the coming years. The most highlighted aspect of his career, though, is his generosity toward the people. Simply put, his kind acts of giving away money to those in need have made him a very unique content creator.

Without a doubt, there’s no one like Jimmy out there who can simply hand out thousands of dollars to any random individual, no matter what. In other words, he’s a true philanthropist – at least when it comes to the YouTube community of other renowned content creators. With a record-setting net worth of over $100 million, as of 2023, he’s not one to shy away from giving to those in need.

During one of his interactions with FLAGRANT host Andrew Schultz, last year, Jimmy shared some interesting moments from his life. Mentioning one particular incident, he called it the most emotional experience of giving away money to someone. He told Andrew that there happened to be an instance where he gave $10,000 to a pizza delivery guy who was surprised by his gesture.

The next day, that delivery guy came back to MrBeast to express his gratitude. He told about how he was able to spend time with his family because of the money given to him by Jimmy. In the end, he gave the YouTuber a big hug and thanked him for his kind act. While narrating this real story, MrBeast became very emotional.

An idea of a century – MrBeast breaks the internet

Thanks to his constant efforts of helping people by giving away a large amount of money, Mr. Donaldson has brought a revolution. Before him, there was hardly any content creator who was famous for being generous, other than making popular videos. However, MrBeast’s creative ideas have helped him stand apart from the competition.

Not to mention that his acts of philanthropy have been one of the key reasons to escalate his status globally. As a result, he’s become a trending entity on the internet in recent years. Probably the biggest proof of that is that every second budding YouTuber nowadays mentions his name in their videos to garner views. The name Jimmy is enough to attract eyeballs.

MrBeast is a billionaire who only gives away, but is still called evil?!

Earlier this year, the YouTuber came up with a video that helped 1,000 blind people get back their vision. Basically, he paid for their surgeries in order to make them see again. However, once the video spread across the internet, many people began to call him out. In fact, some of them even called MrBeast evil as they believed he was just trying to make content out of those who can’t see. “In this video we’re going to be curing 1,000 people’s blindness. It’s gonna be crazy,” he tells the viewers at the beginning of the video.

Maybe the main reason for many people getting frustrated after watching this clip is the fact that nowadays one has to get filmed for a YouTube video in order to get vision. This was something a lot of people believed. Especially those, who were upset with MrBeast for his kind act.

Give to earn to give – The MrBeast way of Philanthropy

Unlike other creators who try to earn more by attracting views, Jimmy follows a different path. Yes, he makes a massive amount of money from his viral clips, but he spends most of his earnings on his new video projects. Apart from that, a lot of his expenditure goes into giving away thousands of dollars to people. Since beginning the kind gestures of philanthropy in 2017, MrBeast has amassed a huge fan following across the globe.

More than his videos, his viewers now also recognize him as someone who gives away money like it means nothing to him, which is rare to find in any other content creator of the modern-day era. One can say that this formula of giving and earning to give back again has eventually worked out exceedingly well for the 24-year-old internet celebrity.

In case anyone is wondering about how MrBeast is able to get so much money to give in donations, then they need to worry much. Most of his money comes from brand deals, thanks to the nature of the viral videos he makes for his channel. As a result of that, a lot of globally renowned brands have ended up collaborating with him and paying him a huge amount, to say the least on regular intervals. Companies like Quidd, TiktTok, Honey, and CSGO Lotto have collaborated with him so far, among others.

When it comes to the amount of his donations, in 2022 he gave an estimated $8 million in giveaways. It included a $2.5 million jet, plus a private island as well.

It’s not just random people, Jimmy has donated to many unknown streamers as well. In fact, he ended up paying $50,000 in total to those content creators, in 2020, who had no views on their videos. His donations not only helped them financially but also made people aware of their channels, thus increasing their views. In 2019, he donated $100,000 to streamers who had zero views on their videos. That’s just insane, to say the least.

The last wish that the YouTube Genius MrBeast has

MrBeast has heavily expressed his wish to give away all of his money before he dies. “I’ll use my money to help people and I promise to give away all my money before I die. Every single penny”, read one of his tweets following a video in which he helped 1,000 blind to see again. Seems like he’s not just another rich celebrity figure who likes to keep accumulating wealth in order to show off.
