This out-of-this-world number lets Jimmy make some larger-than-life videos. Recently in a video, Jimmy brought some big YouTubers for a challenge where they have to place their hands on a private jet. And whoever keeps their hands on the jet till the end wins it.
In the video, one of the contestants of the challenge was WillNE. He accepted from the beginning he didn’t have the patience or the will to win the challenge, so he intended to use MrBeast for profit in a different way. WillNE bought a domain very similar to the official website of MrBeast merch store.
