Jimmy regularly uses the notion of being gay as a punchline and treats the word like a slur, hurling it at people or things he’s attempting to diss. “I don’t know why-and I’m not just saying this to look good-I’ve just always been a really nice guy.”īut what many people might consider not so nice are the homophobic jokes Jimmy has made on his YouTube channel or his habit of calling people “fags” on Twitter. It’s something I’ve had an issue with, I’m that much of a nice guy,” he says. Jimmy explained his generosity in a video from this month. “Yes, but you get money too, so we’re both happy,” he says. She rejects the check repeatedly before Jimmy jokes, “If I don’t give it to you, I don’t have a viral video.” “So you’re using me for views?” she responds. He explains this to his mother in a video from December when he gives his mom a check for $100,000. And monetizing his viral videos also allows him to grow his audience.

While giving away such large amounts of cash is undoubtedly noble, he doesn’t give away all his profits. For most of his videos he acts as a social-media Robin Hood, donating the money he receives from brand deals. If you’re curious how such a young man obtained such a large amount of cash, Jimmy only occasionally donates his own money. “MrBeast videos are the best dumb videos I’ve ever seen,” said another. “My new thing when I am feeling down is to watch a MrBeast video and just see the pure joy on peoples faces when someone is nice for no reason, which in turn makes me feel better about the world in general,” one fan tweeted. In one video he dropped $20,000 out of a drone in another, he gave his mom $100,000 to help pay off her mortgage. He gave 3 million pennies ($30,000) to his 3 millionth subscriber, overtipped his cab drivers, and more. In a recent video titled, “I Gave $500,000 To Random People,” Drake’s song “God’s Plan” plays over a montage of previous videos of Jimmy throwing out hundreds of dollars to strangers. His family-friendly stunts have garnered an audience of nearly 5 million subscribers on YouTube and his channel is growing exponentially by the day. Known to many in the community as “YouTube’s biggest philanthropist,” to date, he has donated more than $500,000 to people including an Uber driver, a waitress, random people in parking lots, Twitch streamers, and homeless people in his North Carolina neighborhood-all of which has been captured on his vlog. Over the past year, Jimmy, a 20-year-old YouTuber known as “ MrBeast” who chooses not to reveal his last name in his videos, has gone repeatedly viral for giving away massive amounts of cash.
