Jimmy Donaldson 

(born: May 7, 1998 [age 24]), commonly known on the internet


by his YouTube channel name, MrBeast (formerly MrBeast6000), is an American
YouTuber currently residing in Greenville, North Carolina. He is known for doing a
wide variety of expensive challenge videos that reward thousands of
dollars, donation videos involving a lot of money, videos either with arduous tasks or
survival, original vlogging videos, and more.
He started the channel in 2012 at the age of 13. He was initially known for uploading
the "Worst Intros" series, a series of videos where he reviewed small pre-teen
YouTubers with funny or "bad" intros. Over the years, as he gained more sponsor
money, he became a lot more generous and helpful to others.
With unrelenting passion and devotion to finishing arduous, yet creative, challenges,
Jimmy has become an extremely popular YouTuber in recent years, and one of the
most subscribed non-corporate YouTube channels, having reached the 60 million
subscribers milestone in April 2021 and 100 million subscribers in July 2021. His
main channel is the 7th most subscribed channel in the world and the 2nd most
subscribed channel in the United States.[1][2] With the exclusion of children-oriented
channels, corporate channels, and channels of music artists, MrBeast is the second
most subscribed YouTuber, only behind PewDiePie.
Personality
Jimmy is particularly generous and kind, as shown by his donations and giveaways.
He's also humble, as he doesn't flaunt his money; He funds lots of money towards
good causes and hasn't shown buying expensive things for himself. He has a very
polite personality, except with his friends, where he is more laid back and energetic.

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.
