New York – Mrbeast plans to make the success of his Amazon Prime video reality competition series at millions of dollars per charity.
The biggest YouTube creator is to offer an exclusive weekend at the Beast Games Season 2 set to the first 40 donors who make $ 100,000 gifts to their non -profit organization recorded. The first taxpayers and up to two guests will each pass from June 27 to 29 tourANDA and visiting the food pantry of Beast Filantropy.
The invitation occurs when Jimmy Donaldson reported $ 5 billion of the media empire exceeds 400 million subscribers on YouTube, where he had already established the record of the most followed. But the call raises a question: who among their followers of young people and their parents can make a donation of six figures?
“I have some great charity projects that I want to finance, so I think it’s a victory/victory,” Mrbeast said in an X publication.
Gather its fervent fan base to make your own contributions marks a new fundraising strategy for Donaldson. For a long time he has declared that the charitable work for its YouTube pages is financed with the income of his Beast Philanthropy Channel.
The content has generated a mixture of fans praise for working with local non -profit organizations to support previously not financed projects and setback of critics who accused Donaldson of exploiting vulnerable people for clickbait “inspiration porn.” Campaigns have involved treating rheumatic heart disease in Nigeria and protecting animals in danger of extinction in Kenya. Other examples include building wells in countries in Africa and covering the cost of cataract surgery for 1,000 people.
The call also indicates the continuous philanthropic presence of Donaldson after the comments they suggest that he would get “less hate” if he moved away from philanthropy completely. Responding to the accusations that he uses philanthropy as a shield, Donaldson said he thinks that “it paints a negative focus for me.”
“People hate me more because I do well,” Donaldson said in a conversation uploaded last November on the YouTube Oompaville channel. “Maybe it’s a statement too crazy. I’m not trying to sound like a victim here or anything.”
“The truth is that I only find videos in which I help people more fun than the videos where I do not,” he added.
Monday’s announcement occurs shortly after Amazon Prime Video renewed beast games for two more seasons. The series of reality competitions faced 1,000 contestants with each other for a $ 5 million gran prize that doubled at the end of February 13. Forbes reported that the program broke the transmission service record for a total of 50 million visits in the 25 days after its premiere.
The last event of Mrbeast fans also follows the reports that an April weekend experience was announced as “immersive and” unforgettable. ” Not achieved from the expectations of the attendees.
