Over the years, Jimmy Donaldson has earned his name in the industry with his out-of-the-world content. He is the 5th most subscribed Youtuber on the planet and has a total of 146 million subscribers across all his channels. Popularly known as MrBeast in the entire world, the Youtuber is famous for his bizarre stunts on screen. They range from gifting gold bars to a waitress to eating the biggest slice of pizza on the planet.

Starting YouTube as a kid, MrBeast has come a long way. His viral attempts to become an internet star began in 2012. Jimmy did not become famous in his early years as he was stuck with getting a college degree. It was 2016 when he dropped out and decided to become a full-time Youtuber. Jimmy’s leap of faith paved the way to his success today, as he is no less than a celebrity.

She soon retired and joined his firm. Now, she works as MrBeast LLC’s chief compliance officer and looks after the company’s expenditure.
