Jimmy Donaldson, also known as Mr.
Beast, is a renowned YouTube star who shared his passion for video-making with his online community and gave people the opportunity to make money by performing bizarre tasks.
According to the reports, Jimmy, who started working as a YouTuber when he was just 13 years old, now earns up to $2 million per year by sharing his videos on his channel with over 20 million subscribers.
To spice things up a notch, Jimmy also decided to start encouraging people to participate in bizarre challenges in return for a worthy compensation.
His challenges consist of tasks such as “Last To Leave Revolving Door Wins $50,000,” “Last To Stop Running Wins $20,000,” and “Paying People $10,000 To Eat Ghost Pepper.”
While MrBeast pays a tremendous amount of money to people to perform these challenges, he generates a lot more money in return by sharing the videos of dares on his YouTube channel.
“I started at 13 years old with no money, a horrible laptop, and no microphone. Every day for 8 years, I’ve obsessed and reinvested everything I’ve made. I’m grateful to wake up happy and excited every day and all I want in life is to make the best content possible <3” the 21-year-old tweeted.
Previously, Jimmy spoke out to The Verge and revealed that YouTube pays better for views than most people believe.
“If you want the special secret, if you want to know where it all came from – my parents aren’t that rich, I’m only 20 years old, every dollar I’ve ever made came from YouTube, and YouTube just pays better than you think,” he claimed.
In one of his videos, Jimmy explained that the more money he gives away the more he gets back in return by sharing videos.
“It all started when I got my first brand deal from Quid,” he said.
“They gave me $10,000 and I was like ‘Woah, that’s a lot of money,’ and I immediately went outside and gave it to a homeless person.”
By recording his unusual act on camera and sharing the video on YouTube, however, he not only got millions of followers but also views that helped him generate additional money.
