American YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a. MrBeast with 180 million subscribers is the most followed individual on YouTube. He has five YouTube channels: MrBeast (his main channel), Beast Philanthropy, MrBeast 2, MrBeast Gaming, and Beast Reacts.
Donaldson sat down with comedian Andrew Schulz for an episode of the Flagrant podcast to discuss his plans for his final video, which will be uploaded online after his death.
MrBeast Already Has an Amusing Plan for His Final Video
MrBeast shared the surprising idea on an episode of Andrew Schulz’s podcast Flagrant when asked what his final video would be. Jimmy Donaldson got down with comedian Andrew Schulz in order to discuss the plans for his farewell video, which will be posted online after his passing.
The YouTuber revealed that Karl Jacobs, Chandler Hallow, and Chris Tyson, three of his close friends, will be competing for ownership of the channel by taking part in a challenge. Each member will have to touch MrBeast’s tombstone, and whoever removes it last, wins the right of “MrBeast.”
“They want me to die, 100% they do. The second I die, Karl, Chandler, Chris, the three guys, Nolan maybe, he’s a little newer, we haven’t decided if he partakes yet or not. They all put their hands on my tombstone, last to take it off gets the channel, everything, 100% everything.”
MrBeast continued, adding
“That is happening, mark my words. I don’t even know if I’ve really said it publicly. I tweeted it one time, but I’m serious I don’t give a f**k how much you guys cry. Put their f**king hands on the tombstone and give the channel to whoever wins, okay?” And don’t bully them for it they’re just doing what I want.”
While Donaldson is the most-subscribed individual user on YouTube, he is not the biggest single YouTube channel. With more than 248 million subscribers, the Indian music video publishing company T-Series leads the way in that category.
The YouTube star’s Massive Fortune
Mr. Beast started his YouTube career in 2012 when he was just 13 years old. He started with video game walkthroughs and then moved on to a variety of other topics like commentary and analysis of other YouTube channels.
YouTube ad revenue is Mr. Beast’s main source of income. His enormous following, which has seen billions of views of all of his films, is what generates this income. According to various estimates, Mr. Beast could be earning several million dollars per year from ad revenue alone.
He has a net worth of approximately $120 million, according to recent reports. In November 2022, MrBeast was looking for investors to buy into his business at a valuation of $1 billion.
MrBeast is well-known for his philanthropic activities on YouTube, where he gives away substantial sums of money to friends and charity. A tweet from August 2020 claims that he intends to open “hundreds of homeless shelters” and “food banks” as vehicles for transferring his wealth.
MrBeast intends to continue his YouTube career for at least “the next ten years“; and, given his current level of success both on and off the platform, it is difficult to predict where his channel will be when he ultimately reaches that point.
