MrBeast is the most-subscribed creator on YouTube, known for giant-scale challenge videos and headline-making giveaways that have made him the defining entertainer of the online video era. In June 2026 he became the first creator to pass 500 million subscribers on his main channel, and he has turned that audience into a business that includes the Feastables chocolate brand, the Amazon Prime Video competition series Beast Games and Beast Industries, valued at $5 billion in early 2026. Forbes ranked him the highest-paid YouTube creator of 2024.
He got there one upload at a time. Born Jimmy Donaldson and raised in Greenville, North Carolina, he started posting videos as MrBeast6000 in 2012 and broke through in 2017 with a video of himself counting to 100,000, which took about 40 hours. He left community college to focus on YouTube full time.
His reach goes well beyond views. Through Beast Philanthropy and fundraising drives including Team Trees with Mark Rober, Team Seas and Team Water, he has helped raise more than $90 million for causes like reforestation, ocean cleanup and clean water, and Time named him to the Time 100 in 2023. That mix of business savvy, generosity and pop-culture pull makes him a headline draw for colleges, corporate events, conferences and private events.
