MrBeast Embarks on 100-Hour Journey to Uncover Secrets of the Great Pyramids

February 10, 2025, 12:42 pm

Nearly a year following his statement on “leasing” Giza’s Great Pyramids for a one-of-a-kind project, YouTube sensation MrBeast published a 21-minute video recapping his 100-hour trip through the ancient pyramids. MrBeast investigated off-limits locations including the mysterious Tomb of Osiris in the video and even stashed $10,000 of gold inside the Sphinx—a building thought to contain a hidden gold temple.

Starting in King Khafre’s chamber, where the remains of the pharaoh were supposed to have been placed, MrBeast embarked on the excursion. From there, he went to the sunken Tomb of Osiris, which has been affected by changing topography and raising water levels. The team came back to their base camp having failed to reveal the hidden secrets of the tomb notwithstanding efforts to probe more into it. After, they went into the Sphinx, at which MrBeast left a handwritten note and buried gold.

Together with well-known Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass and MrBeast’s crew explored sites normally off limits to the public in the illegal Iymery burial. Hawass also exposed skeletal remains from ancient times and places only experts are authorized to visit.

The group found a secret chamber that just 50 people have entered in the last 500 years in the video’s last moments. To their shock, the chamber had many bats. Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism responded to outcry over MrBeast’s declaration of “renting” the pyramids by stating that he did not personally finance the opportunity. Alternatively, he was given unique permission to produce a set of brief movies about the archaeological site that the government sanctioned to advance awareness of the ancient site.

Viewers have since lauded it as one of MrBeast’s most thrilling episodes yet; the video is now all over the place.

MrBeast Calls Out American Healthcare as He Helps 2,000 Amputees Walk Again

January 12, 2025, 10:40 pm

YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, has criticized the American healthcare system after he helped 2,000 amputees gain access to prosthetics in his latest video. Taking to social media, MrBeast condemned the US healthcare system for failing to provide basic facilities to its citizens, which left individuals like him to intervene.

“Just uploaded a video where we helped 2,000 amputees walk again. Many lived in America and it feels so disgusting that in a country with this much wealth, a fuc*en YouTuber is their only option to get a prosthetic leg. We need to fix this,” wrote MrBeast on X (formerly Twitter).

Most amputees can lead an almost normal life with the help of prosthetic limbs. However, they are expensive and need to be customized based on the amputee’s medical condition, which results in many being unable to afford them. The lack of prosthetic limbs hampers the ability of amputees to function properly, causing them to miss out on employment opportunities and worsening their situation.

Reacting to a post about his video, MrBeast continued to express his frustration with what he encountered during the filming. “A lot of the people we helped walk again literally couldn’t work because they could not walk,” he wrote.

“Even if you look at this from purely an economical lense and not a moral lense, helping them allows them to work and pay taxes. So I genuinely can’t comprehend why we don’t.”

Netizens reacts

As of the last update, the video had garnered over 17 million views and received thousands of comments, with the majority praising MrBeast for helping and changing the lives of the 2,000 amputees.

“Cleaning an ocean and beach. Planting 20 mil trees. Curing deaf people and now helping people to walk again. You are such a wonderful person MrBeast,” said one user, while another added: “Thanks for showing your kindness! Incredible to see such an enormous effort in helping people.”

A third commented: “We made THE right person famous. The video almost made me cry.”

This is not the first time MrBeast has carried out large-scale philanthropic efforts by personally funding them. In 2023, the world’s most subscribed YouTuber built 100 wells to provide clean drinking water to up to 500,000 people in Cameroon, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. He also raised more than $300,000 through a fundraiser to support local water aid organizations.

Meet Thea Booysen The Woman Who Won Mrbeast’s Heart

January 2, 2025, 3:39 pm

The YouTuber, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, recently engaged his girlfriend of seven years, Thea Booysen, on Christmas Day in a surprise Christmas proposal. But while attention was drawn to the YouTuber’s private proposal, it was Thea’s inspiring background and multi-talents that really caught attention. Thea, a gamer and content producer who was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, is a scholar who, at the age of 27, holds degrees in law, psychology, and neuroscience. She is a fantastic partner to the renowned content creator because of her love of learning and creativity.

Thea is also a published author, having written The Marked Children, a novel she began in high school. More interesting is her job as an esports caster for CD Projekt Red, makers of The Witcher and Cyberpunk: 2077. The couple met in 2022 when MrBeast went to South Africa and was introduced to Thea at dinner by a mutual friend. Education, creativity, and the digital space all shared with the interest brought the two together quickly.

In April 2022, they first publicly went out at the Kids’ Choice Awards, putting their relationship solidly into public view. In contrast to his boisterous persona, the more earthbound nature and scholarly life of Thea brought something remarkable and admirable in their connection. Before going back to the UK for post-grad, she frankly said that she’d “love to get proposed to, maybe sometime after graduation.” From there, came the sweet Christmas holiday engagement flanked by families.

As they enter this new chapter, Thea and MrBeast will be having an intimate island wedding. Instead of grandeur, they have planned to be surrounded by only their closest friends and family. The ceremony would represent the significant journey they have travelled, showcasing their individuality and shared ideals. Thea’s accomplishments and MrBeast’s worldwide impact serve as a monument to the couple’s respect for one another, inventiveness, and drive for personal development.

MrBeast Proposes to Thea Booysen on Christmas, Plans Intimate Wedding

January 2, 2025, 2:36 am

MrBeast, 26, proposed to Thea Booysen, 27, at their home during a family Christmas celebration. Donaldson orchestrated the perfect surprise by wrapping the engagement ring as the last present. “I intentionally dropped a large box to make noise before presenting the real gift,” he revealed.

Booysen was overjoyed, describing the moment as “extremely exciting.” Donaldson shared that he wanted the proposal to be private and meaningful, contrasting his usual public challenges and stunts.

A Relationship Rooted in Connection

Thea Booysen, a South African gamer and author, met MrBeast during his 2022 visit to her home country. Their connection was instant. “I fell in love with his brain,” Booysen said, admiring his intelligence, discipline, and character.

Their relationship blossomed through long-distance communication, eventually leading to Booysen relocating to the United States. The couple made their first public appearance at the Kids’ Choice Awards in April 2022, marking the beginning of their journey together.

Plans for an Intimate Island Wedding

Despite MrBeast’s global fame, the couple has opted for a low-key celebration. Booysen revealed that the wedding would take place on an island, ensuring privacy and intimacy.

“We’re not going to try and have a big, extravagant wedding,” Booysen shared. “It’s going to be close family and friends.”

Donaldson echoed her sentiments, emphasizing the importance of spending quality time with loved ones during the wedding.

Shared Interests and Future Plans

The couple enjoys a quiet life together, bonding over video games, educational shows, and spending time with their pets. As they look forward to their wedding, they continue to cherish their shared values and interests.

“After working 14-15 hour days, I just want to chill and hang out — and Thea loves doing a lot of the same things that I do,” MrBeast shared.

MrBeast Ends YouTube Rivalry with T-Series: ‘Sub-Race’ Over In Shocking Move!

December 10, 2024, 12:02 pm

In an unexpected move, T-Series Chairman and Managing Director Bhushan Kumar and the world’s most-followed YouTuber, MrBeast, ended their years-long “sub-race“ in a shocking gesture of collaboration. The two digital giants met in a video that has gone viral, causing a frenzy on social media and creating headlines all over the internet.

The Surprising Result of the “Sub-Race”

The video, shared on T-Series’ Instagram, saw MrBeast, with real name Jimmy Donaldson, coming all the way to India proposing to Bhushan Kumar with a playful proposition. He proposed, “If you subscribe to me, I will subscribe to T-Series.” Bhushan Kumar did not take much time in accepting the challenge and started subscribing to MrBeast’s channel. What follows next is a surprising twist, because MrBeast pretends that his phone has gone dead, and this will delay him from returning the favour. It takes him a few more moments to finally subscribe to T-Series, thus closing their infamous “sub-race,” which has long dominated the YouTube community.

Social Media Reactions: Fans Celebrate Historic Collaboration

The video quickly gained fans following from both creators who went as far as heaping praise on the act as an historical collaboration. One social media user jokingly referred to how much everyone was waiting for Grand Theft Auto VI with this comment, “We got MrBeast and T-Series subscribing to each other before GTA 6.” This lighthearted remark reflects the feel of expectation that surrounded the collab, which fans of both creators termed as “the biggest collab ever.

Another fan added, “The world is not for competition, it’s for collaboration!!” The fans were positive about the gesture between the two YouTube powerhouses. Some fans even reacted with fire and heart emoticons, showing their excitement and support for the collaboration.

A Brief History of the “Sub-Race” Rivalry

Earlier this year, when tensions between MrBeast and T-Series reached a boil over after MrBeast challenged Bhushan Kumar to a social media boxing match, what resulted was a wave of friendly competition from their rival fan bases to be YouTube’s most subscribed channel. And while MrBeast stands as the most subscribed YouTube individual, T-Series continues to sit in its place as one of its toughest competitors.

MrBeast: The YouTube King

Having more than 335 million subscribers, MrBeast is a phenomenon on YouTube, dominating the website with his viral challenges, philanthropy, and big projects. His latest partnership with T-Series indicates the end of competition and embracing mutual respect. Bhushan Kumar has managed T-Series to become one of the most powerful brands in India, revolutionizing the music and entertainment industry.

It’s a video that has initiated conversations across social media networks, where users have put in evidence the power of collaboration above rivalry, thereby emphasising the notion that even the biggest YouTubers can put aside their differences to celebrate success together.

What started as a fun race between two of YouTube‘s biggest names has now turned into a symbol of unity, as MrBeast and T-Series fans celebrate the end of the sub-race. An era where online competition is often defined as success shows that sometimes, working together can be more powerful than competing for the top spot.

Inside MrBeast’s $14M ‘Beast Games’ City: The World’s Most Insane Reality Show Yet

December 10, 2024, 10:44 am

Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known by his alias MrBeast, has left his fans stunned by sharing a $14 million “city” built as a set for his ambitious game show, Beast Games. He turned to X (formerly known as Twitter) to post pictures of the sprawling field being transformed into a cityscape to be used by contestants. “We spent $14,000,000 building a city in a field for the contestants in Beast Games to live and compete in. December 19th is almost here,” he announced.

Boasting a whopping 335 million subscribers, MrBeast is YouTube‘s most-followed creator. The new game show he will debut on Amazon Prime has been touted as “the world‘s largest live game show.” It promises daring stunts, monster trucks, a massive pirate ship, and the largest prize in television history—a $5 million grand prize.

In an interview to YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, he unveiled the production cost exceeding over $100 million dollars and broke 40 world records. However, the question he clarified was about the profit, saying, “The goal is to make the best content possible, not make money.”

Generosity Amid Extravagance

Community support also came in through the production set, said to be constructed in Toronto, Canada. Items used in the show, such as mattresses, sleeping bags, and clothing, have been donated to local organiSations, according to MrBeast‘s representatives.

Though grandiose in its form, the show has never been immune to criticism. Several reports surfaced claiming the treatment of the contestants by the producers is not sound. According to The New York Times, contestants complained about getting less than enough food and long wait times before the arrival of drugs or sanitary goods. The participants also claimed to be injured and needing medical treatment in some instances.

Five contestants are reportedly planning to file a class-action lawsuit against MrBeast, citing these grievances. While the YouTuber has refrained from commenting on the allegations due to ongoing legal proceedings, he has dismissed some claims as “disinformation.”

On June 1, MrBeast overtook T-Series, becoming the most-subscribed YouTube channel. His subscriber count has been rapidly increasing ever since.

Donaldson posted a screenshot of his follower count on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “I remember freaking out when I hit 300 subscribers 11 years ago.. lol.”

Another said, “You’re a real pirate, you never gave up and you kept smashing hard. A true example of what dedication and consistency can lead to.”

“That’s life. It is an incredible reminder that nothing is impossible!,” an Elon Musk satire page joined in.

“Congratulations, MrBeast. Nobody deserves it more than you,” one user posted.

One heartwarming comment was from a user called BatMan: “You should be given a noble prize on these 4 things .. thankyou Mr Beast ,” to which Jimmy responded, “Check out the Beast Philanthropy channel, we’ve done this stuff way more than 4 times haha.”

MrBeast Teases Presidential Run, Sparks Social Media Frenzy

July 7, 2024, 11:53 am

YouTube star MrBeast, best known for his philanthropy and viral challenges, has stirred up buzz with his recent revelation about potentially entering the political arena. The wildly popular content creator, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, announced on July 6 via a post on X that he would “jump in the race to run for US President.” This announcement has quickly become a trending topic on social media, garnering over 15 million views in just a few hours.

Age Limit Hurdle

At 25 years old, MrBeast is eyeing the upcoming US presidential race, much to the delight of his fans who believe he could “beast” the competition. However, there’s a catch: the age limit. US laws mandate that presidential candidates must be at least 35 years old. Addressing this, Donaldson quipped, “If they lower the age limit, count me in!”

Viral Video and Growing Popularity

MrBeast’s presidential musings follow a viral video posted on June 29, where he built 100 homes across El Salvador and Jamaica. The video, which has amassed over 80 million views at the time of writing, features a top comment boldly declaring, “MrBeast for President.”

In contrast, the upcoming elections see 78-year-old Donald Trump aiming to reclaim the White House for a second term, while 81-year-old Joe Biden is also gearing up for his second run as US President.

Fans Rally Behind MrBeast

The idea of MrBeast running for office has resonated strongly with the youth, as evidenced by the overwhelming number of likes, shares, and comments on his post. One user posed an interesting question: “Would you still create YouTube videos if you were president?” To which Donaldson replied, “I’d probably focus on running the largest economy on earth.” Another fan teased, “You are actually talking like a politician now.”

“The funniest part about this is that you’d probably win,” remarked one commenter, with thousands more expressing similar sentiments. “You might even be better than Biden & Trump, for all we know.” Another added, “If there was ever a time you could win, it’s now. Lol.”

Who is MrBeast?

James Stephen “Jimmy” Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, is a philanthropic YouTube giant renowned for his outrageous stunts and massive giveaways. Recently, he expanded his influence to X (Twitter) after being wooed by Elon Musk himself. Now the most subscribed YouTuber, MrBeast continues to captivate audiences with his fast-paced, high-production challenges.

Born in Greenville, North Carolina, Donaldson ventured into video creation at just 13 years old in 2012. His moment of success came in 2017 with his “counting to 100,000” video, which quickly went viral, accumulating tens of thousands of views within a few days. Since then, his fame has skyrocketed, with most of his videos reaching hundreds of millions of views.

As the conversation around his potential presidential bid continues to grow, one thing is clear: MrBeast has already won the hearts of millions, and his influence shows no signs of waning.

MrBeast Surpasses T-Series To Become YouTube’s Most-Subscribed Channel

June 2, 2024, 2:24 pm

Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has achieved a significant milestone by claiming the top spot on YouTube, surpassing the Indian record label T-Series to become the platform’s most-subscribed channel. In celebration of this achievement, the popular YouTuber humorously mentioned on his social media platforms that he finally “avenged Pewdiepie.”

T-Series had held the subscriber crown since 2019, after overtaking PewDiePie. MrBeast, now 26, had pledged at the beginning of 2023 to avenge the Swedish YouTuber. At that time, he had 127 million subscribers, a considerable distance from T-Series’ 233 million.

MrBeast now boasts a massive count of 266 million subscribers on YouTube, overtaking T-Series as the most-subscribed channel. This remarkable turnaround saw him close the over 100 million subscriber gap in almost a year and a half.

Renowned for pushing the boundaries of content creation and breaking numerous records, MrBeast’s achievement seemed inevitable. His videos are known for their intensity, featuring stunts like burying himself alive for a week and challenges where contestants must survive 100 days together for a substantial cash prize.

In addition to his videos, MrBeast has donated millions through his non-profit charity, Beast Philanthropy, supporting family, friends, fans, and those in need. His ventures beyond content creation have also thrived, with his chocolate bar ‘Feastables’ quickly selling out in Walmarts across North America.

In May, MrBeast announced his search for 5,000 participants for “the largest game show ever in history,” offering a $5,000,000 prize for his inaugural show ‘Beast Games’ with Amazon Prime. With his continuous rise, MrBeast has firmly established his place in internet history, and there’s no telling how much further he will go.

Deepfake Content: AI apps being used to ‘Nudify women,’ Surging in Popularity

December 11, 2023, 4:27 pm

Twenty-four million individuals visited undressing websites in September alone according to the Hindustan Times. Popular social networks are used by many of these “nudity,” or undressing, businesses for marketing purposes, according to Graphika. For example, the researchers found that since the start of the year, there have been over 2,400% more links on social media, particularly on X and Reddit, promoting undressing applications. The services replicate an image of a person in their underwear using AI. Many services are limited to women.

These applications are a part of a concerning trend whereby developments in artificial intelligence are being used to create and spread non-consensual pornography, or “deepfake pornography,” which is created material. Since the photos are frequently obtained from social media and shared without the subject’s knowledge, agreement, or control, their widespread use is fraught with ethical and legal issues.

Actor Rashmika Mandanna fell prey to a deepfake recently. On the internet, a phony video of her became quite popular.

Actor Tom Hanks used Instagram on October 1st to notify his followers of an alarming instance of deepfake use. When he saw that a dental plan commercial had a convincing deepfake of himself, he felt compelled to warn people, saying, “Beware, I have nothing to do with it.”

Jimmy Donaldson, better known online as Mr. Beast, is an extremely popular YouTuber who was recently duped by deceptive AI-generated ads. A deepfake of Donaldson was used in a TikTok advertisement that purported to be offering viewers $2 iPhones.
