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.
