Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is known to give out an unbelievable amount of money to people. While sometimes people need to participate in MrBeast’s challenges, other times he just donates it away. One such time that MrBeast decided to donate money was to Fortnite YouTuber SypherPK. Interestingly, though, the donation was not for him.

SypherPk and MrBeast first met each other in 2021. Ever since then, the two YouTubers have been in touch with each other and have also collaborated on multiple videos. But, some time back, when SypherPK was streaming, Donaldson dropped into the stream and donated $2000. After confirming that the donation came from the Beast himself, SypherPK was told exactly why the money was donated.

SypherPK recently uploaded a YouTube short where he describes his unusual interaction with MrBeast. In the video, SypherPK shared how Donaldson jumped into his stream and sent him $2000. And when SypherPK contacted MrBeast about this, Donaldson told him that he wanted the Fortnite streamer to donate forward to PewDiePie. Why didn’t he donate to Pewdiepie himself you may ask?

SypherPK explained in his video how Pewdiepie has a charity for Child Rights and MrBeast wanted to send money as a donation. He further explained that the charity only accepted credit cards. And at the time MrBeast didn’t have a credit card. When SypherPK agreed to send forward the donation, Donaldson started spam donating money to him.

After reaching a total of $7500, MrBeast asked SypherPK to go ahead and complete the donation. In a turn of events, just as SypherPK donated the money, Pewdiepie logged off the stream. While it is not clear if the donation finally went to the charity, knowing MrBeast and SypherPK, they would make sure it gets to the right place where it will have good use.

Given the interaction between SpyherPK and MrBeast, it might look like a natural interaction between two YouTubers. Interestingly, though, the online stars met each other back in 2021 and the blooming bond of friendship developed between the two.

MrBeast and SypherPK’s first meet up

Ever since their first meeting in 2021, MrBeast and SypherPK have been collaborating on videos. The first time the two YouTubers met was in 2021 when SypherPK was called to North Carolina to meet MrBeast. During the meeting, SypherPK had a gift for Donaldson that he decided to hand deliver.  The rest of the video showed how SypherPK was spending time at Donaldson’s house. SypherPK set up a PC at MrBeast’s house and decided to stream from there.

After meeting MrBeast the next day, they went to his gaming room to record a video for Donaldson’s channel. SypherPK gave Donaldson a Metal Umbrella gift which is merch inspired by the anime Naruto made by the former YouTuber. During SypherPK’s stay at MrBeast’s place, he also got to help him with a video. A week later, the video that Donaldson and SypherPK shot was uploaded.

In this video, fans got to see MrBeast be a backseat gamer while SypherPK played Fortnite and took on multiple challenges from Donaldson. In the end, the video was uploaded and it was a big success with over 4.7 million people watching the video to date. In this manner, the two YouTubers became friends.
