3 min read
Jimmy Donaldson, famously known as MrBeast talks about his struggles on a daily basis, and challenges he faced like earning sometimes less than 1 dollar a day.
Success and desire of MrBeast
MrBeast, 23, a YouTube megastar, handles and is in charge of 6 YouTube channels. These channels combined have nearly reached 200 million subscribers. The view count on these channels has almost exceeded 25 billion combined. Last year as the epidemic raged, he became the world’s largest registered YouTube creator.
But unlike other YouTube users who are satisfied with the success of the social media platform, Mr. Donaldson wants more. He even said that he wants to be Elon Musk one day. He is highly inspired by his work and wants to achieve the same heights and reach that level one day. MrBeast even named Elon Musk as his dream partner to work with. Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and is also now the world’s richest man surpassing Jeff Bezos.
MrBeast’s continued passion for YouTube
MrBeast, recently on Joe Rogan’s podcast gave an insight into his life story, how he grew as a professional youtuber and how he became successful. He said that he used to obsess over the YouTube videos. The key to his continuous passion was reinvesting in the products which he thought could help him in the long run while pursuing YouTube. He said that he used to save up money, and then buy the equipment which was viable and suitable. He said that his very popular and recent Squid Game themed video costed him around $4.5 million
MrBeast’s start of run towards YouTube
When asked about the initial videos made by him, MrBeast said that they are no more available as he used to be self-conscious and hence deleted all of them. The first Mrbeast video which is available was the one in which he was playing a game called Battle Pirates and his base got hacked. When he uploaded the video, he got 20000 views on that because it was a big deal as people did not really know that the game could be hacked. This got him hooked to YouTube and from there he started making videos with better quality, and even better equipment. He said that up until he was 18, he used to make videos without earning from them. He even said that sometimes he used to skip college to edit videos.
MrBeast’s spending and NGO
MrBeast when asked about whether he goes crazy with the cash spending occasionally, replied that it would be hypocritical if he did that since he handles a nonprofit organization. He does not desire to live life in a grand way and believes in giving more to the society, as it can be clearly seen in his YouTube videos. Apart from the nonprofit organization, the content creator also runs a pantry for the services of people in need.
