Those who follow Donaldson might be aware of his YouTube channel, MrBeast Philanthropy,  which is directed towards helping others. The 24-year-old has around 9.98 million subscribers, and all videos have millions of views. However, he doesn’t earn a single penny from this channel. Instead, the money from those videos is directed toward helping the needful.

But many have questioned Jimmy’s morals and claimed he does all this for fame. But MrBeast doesn’t care about those claims and said, “I have an entire channel built around my nonprofit that I’ve invested ungodly amounts of hours into building, that I’ll never see a single penny out of.… I lose five figures and dozens of hours every month. The opportunity cost could go to projects that make millions of dollars. So I don’t care. I don’t say this stuff publicly because that’s not why I do it.”
