Jimmy Donaldson, widely known as MrBeast, has unveiled the full extent of his philanthropic efforts in a detailed post on X (formerly Twitter), outlining how his YouTube revenue has fueled large-scale charitable initiatives across the world. From environmental sustainability to healthcare and infrastructure, the 27-year-old has funneled his earnings into causes that have impacted millions.
From Trees to Clean Water and Food Security
Among the most striking achievements MrBeast listed were the planting of 23 million trees under the Team Trees initiative and the removal of 33 million pounds of trash through Team Seas. His post also highlighted the delivery of over 10 million meals to food-insecure populations and the construction of wells that now provide clean water to 500,000 people across Africa.
Donaldson shared that his organization has donated $3 million to aid war refugees and contributed over $1 million worth of clothing to people in need. He has also provided 20,000 pairs of shoes to children in Africa and supported 3,000 people in regaining mobility. Notably, he funded treatments that helped 1,000 deaf individuals hear and 1,000 blind individuals see again.
The YouTuber further noted building over 100 homes for homeless individuals and distributing more than 100 cars. Hundreds of rescue dogs have also benefited from his initiatives. His philanthropy extends to building critical infrastructure, including a school, orphanage, hospital, gym, and an entire village.
Among his lesser-known ventures is a chocolate brand he claims operates with ethical sourcing practices, ensuring farmers are fairly compensated and child labor is actively monitored. Donaldson also claimed to have given away three private islands and over $50 million in financial aid not accounted for in the previously listed projects.
“Instead of Mansions and Supercars…”
Responding to a comment on how he managed such scale, MrBeast wrote, “Instead of buying a mansion and 10 supercars I used it to make content that helps people lol.” His statement reflects a recurring theme in his public persona—redirecting fame and fortune toward purpose-driven work.
Big Earnings, Bigger Commitments
According to Forbes, Donaldson earned $85 million in 2025 alone and currently has an estimated net worth of $1 billion. With over 412 million subscribers across his five YouTube channels, including MrBeast, MrBeast Gaming, and Beast Philanthropy, his digital influence translates directly into multimillion-dollar fundraising capabilities. Brand deals reportedly cost upwards of $2.5 million per feature.
Balancing Praise with Criticism
Despite his expansive charitable portfolio, MrBeast has not escaped controversy. He has faced backlash for what some label “stunt philanthropy,” concerns over unsafe filming conditions, and legal issues involving filming permits and labor practices. Still, his growing list of tangible contributions continues to generate widespread discussion on the role of creators in shaping real-world change.
