"Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, runs the most subscribed-to YouTube
channel in the world (with 484 million subscribers) and has an estimated net
worth of US$2.6 billion.
He is also a prominent philanthropist. Beyond his involvement in fundraising
initiatives such as #TeamTrees, which claims to have planted more than 24
million trees worldwide, Donaldson runs a dedicated Beast Philanthropy YouTube
channel.
He claims 100% of profits from this channel’s ad revenue, merch sales and
sponsorships go towards helping others. This has included paying for 1,000
cataract surgeries, constructing a medical clinic for children rescued from
slavery, and building 100 wells to provide clean water in Africa.
These impressive philanthropic endeavours have dramatically improved the lives
of their recipients. How could any of this be controversial?"
