MrBeast is a popular YouTuber with over 100 million subscribers and over 22 billion video views. He has been posting on YouTube for over 10 years, and most of his videos include him giving money to his friends, family, subscribers and strangers after winning certain challenges. He also donates money to people in need. 

MrBeast has done many great things to help not just individuals but also the world, which is one of the main reasons why I think MrBeast actually cares about what he does and doesn’t just create these videos for views and profit.

Whenever MrBeast donates money, he gives it to good causes like homeless shelters, schools and small businesses.

Among MrBeast’s best-known projects is Team Trees, which planted over 20 million trees around the world and Team Seas, where over 30 million pounds of trash were removed from the ocean.

On Jan. 28, MrBeast uploaded a video titled “1,000 blind people see for the first time” in which he and his team gathered 1,000 people at a doctor’s office to cure their blindness.

Most of MrBeast’s videos get over 100 million views. However, even before his views were this high, he was still giving money to homeless people, donating food at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and sponsoring challenges that allowed people the chance to win a million dollars. The money MrBeast uses in videos is prop money, but he gives them real money after they win a challenge.

Whenever MrBeast donates money, he gives it to good causes like homeless shelters, schools and small businesses.

Most of the time when MrBeast gives someone money, he shows what the person or people do with it, so viewers see how much it was needed and how it helped the recipients.

MrBeast has been posting these types of altruistic videos for over five years. It is clear he enjoys what he does and has helped thousands of people who needed it.
