Early life
Not much is known about Jimmy's childhood, except that he has two brothers and a
sister and it appears that Jimmy doesn't have any contact with his biological father.
Before he started MrBeast6000, he had a now-deleted channel called Beast5ty. He
started his new YouTube channel at the age of thirteen, under the name
"MrBeast6000."
YouTube Career
Jimmy officially started his YouTube channel on February 19, 2012. He first started
uploading gaming videos, and the first video game that he recorded was Minecraft.
After a year, Jimmy started recording other games such as Pokemon Online, Black
Ops 2, and Battle Pirates. He also started his first series where he talks about how
much each YouTuber earns, the first being PewDiePie.
After two years, Jimmy stopped making gaming videos and started to make
discussion videos, where he would discuss many random topics that he wanted to.
On April 18, 2015, Jimmy officially had 2,000 people subscribed to his channel,
which led to him deciding to make a video about it, being grateful for the success.
In 2016, he used to make a series called "Worst Intros" which involved him laughing
at lower-quality intros, but these videos are now deleted because he shifted his
content to challenges in 2016-2017, then stunts that allow him to grow in popularity,
mainly because of both his generosity and original type of content.
As the years go by, the videos started involving bigger challenges and bigger prizes.
At one point, with the increase of content and channels made by MrBeast (gaming
videos in 2020, reaction videos in 2021, philanthropy videos also in 2021), MrBeast
went from an independent YouTuber with a few friends to a whole production
company, registered as MrBeast LLC, featuring around 50 employees who were
shown on camera and presumably around 50 more off-camera, all of them getting
highly paid to work on MrBeast's videos for a living and with Jimmy being the CEO of
the company. Other than cameramen and editors, they also have ADR tech, logistic
techs, producers, two accountants, a lawyer, admin staff, a personal bodyguard, a
business manager, a talent manager, medical professionals for challenges, and
construction workers that build his sets.
