―MrBeast

James Stephen "Jimmy" Donaldson[1] (born: May 7, 1998 (1998-05-07) [age 25]), better known online as MrBeast (formerly known as MrBeast6000, Beast, beast5ty john, and videogamerules), is an American YouTuber and philanthropist known for his videos that often consist of him doing tasks for an extended amount of time, doing or saying something thousands of times, challenges and donations that involve millions of dollars, and more.

Jimmy has become an extremely popular YouTuber in recent years. He is known for giving away lots of money, making people do challenges and tasks for money, and buying large objects.

The channel is mostly run by Jimmy and three of his best friends Kris Tyson, Karl Jacobs, Chandler Hallow, who makes experiments, challenges, or donations that usually involve money. Currently, his main channel is the most subscribed individual YouTuber, second most subscribed overall, and most viewed individual YouTuber with over 245 million subscribers and 44.8 billion views, as of March 16, 2024. He started this YouTube channel on February 19, 2012, at the age of 13.

He also has a second channel called Beast Reacts (formerly BeastHacks, Mr.Beast, Mr.Beast CSGO, GIANT ASIAN STICKER, and Rock Paper Scissors) where Jimmy and his friends react and review things like compilations and roast them if they are disgusting or bad. In May of 2020, he started a gaming channel named MrBeast Gaming, which has over 42 million subscribers, releasing 1 gaming video every couple of months. He also has the channel MrBeast 2 (formerly MrBeast Shorts) where he uploads around 10-60 second clips of him and his friends doing random things, and some of those videos are posted on his TikTok.

Along with a Playbutton-focused English YouTuber JackSucksAtLife, he created the channel Don’t Subscribe, and he gives ten cents to Jack for every subscriber. As of August 20th, 2021, the channel has 1 Million subscribers, meaning Jack has made $100,000. This is the limit to the amount of money he can make. Despite Jack co-owning the channel, Jack doesn't have access to it. Also, Jack says in some of his videos "Subscribe to Don't Subscribe".

His brother, CJ Donaldson, also has a channel inspired by his brother, called CjTheseDays (formerly known as MrBro). He started his channel in 2017 but only started posting in August of 2019. He also makes challenge videos, like his brother does.

Jimmy is also known for making fun of Minecraft, a game developed by Mojang. He made a two-episode series playing it and was finished playing the game for good after his house got blown up by a creeper. Due to that incident, he has since deleted the game. Since then, Jimmy has made a sudden return to Minecraft, collaborating with fellow YouTuber Dream in the video titled "3 Minecraft Speedrunners VS Hunter ft. MrBeast" featured on Dream's YouTube channel.

It seems like Jimmy is starting to like Minecraft more than he did a few years back. He has since made a channel called MrBeast Gaming, where he does challenges with his viewers and friends for money. The challenges are usually in Minecraft and involve parkour, building or fighting, usually for money, gift cards, food, and for no reason. One of the stranger prizes was a free supply of yogurt for a decade.

One challenge done on the gaming channel was the $100,000 gift card hunt on the Dream SMP. The prize was $100,000 worth of gift cards from different stores. The challenge was ultimately won by Tubbo, who decided to selflessly give away all of his earnings on one of his livestreams.

In June 15, 2023, 3 days before Titan started it’s descent in June 18, in a post, Jimmy tweeted, “I was invited earlier this month to ride the Titanic submarine. I said no. Kind of scary that I could have been on it.” Moreover, he shared a screenshot of an iMessage he received: “Also, I’m going to the Titanic in a submarine late this month. The team would be stoked to have you along,” it said.” Another cut-off line of text followed, saying, “I’m sure you’re also welcome to join.”[2]

PewDiePie vs T-Series

Advertising PewDiePie

On October 24, 2018, Jimmy made a video called, I Bought Every Billboard in my City to do this.[3] In the video, Jimmy used multiple billboards around his city to advertise PewDiePie and to prevent an entertainment company, T-Series, from surpassing PewDiePie in subscribers. Additionally, Jimmy created online ads to advertise PewDiePie that, when clicked, redirected to PewDiePie's channel.

Jimmy also advertised PewDiePie on public posts, newspapers, and the radio, the PewDiePie advertisements have garnered significant attention locally and globally, causing PewDiePie's channel to grow at a faster rate than T-Series. T-Series was approximately less than 100,000 subscribers away from becoming the most subscribed channel up until the release of Jimmy's video, which temporarily halted the channel's growth. Likewise, Jimmy's channel had also gained exponential growth off of the video and the advertisement, which he had mentioned himself on multiple occasions.

Saying PewDiePie 100,000 Times

Even after Jimmy advertised PewDiePie with billboards, it did not stop T-Series from slowing down from PewDiePie longer. T-Series was approximately 90,000 subscribers away from surpassing PewDiePie before Jimmy made another video to keep PewDiePie #1 most subscribed. On November 25, 2018, Jimmy says PewDiePie 100,000 times. At the start of the video, Jimmy tells his fans and new-comers to subscribe to PewDiePie and to help him win the war.

The subscriber growth was given to PewDiePie once again, gaining 244,000 subscribers the day of Jimmy's upload, and 247,000 subscribers the next day.

PewDiePie vs T-Series MrBeast surrenders

Jimmy also gained major exposure from the video and gained 181,000 subscribers on the day of its upload, which is Jimmy's fastest growth in terms of subscribers in the past 24 hours. Jimmy then went on to gain 151,000 subscribers the following day.

Surrender

Even after Jimmy helped out PewDiePie, PewDiePie made a tweet, It looks like this is it boys.[4] with a picture of a text saying Dawn of The Final Day 24 Hours Remain, in which PewDiePie now surrenders his #1 most subscribed title, as T-Series growth had not stopped. Jimmy also made a tweet responding to PewDiePie saying It was an honor fighting by your side, in which Jimmy gives up and can no longer help PewDiePie further, possibly to prevent lack of PewDiePie videos from Jimmy, as it can get weaker along the way.[5]

Advertising PewDiePie at the Super Bowl

On February 3, Jimmy and his affiliates Chris, Chandler, Garrett, and Jake made plans to try and advertise fellow YouTuber PewDiePie's channel while attending Super Bowl LIII (53). To do so, Jimmy bought seats next to one of the end zones, with him and his affiliates wearing shirts ultimately spelling out "SUB 2 PEWDIEPIE" to be seen during one of the field goals. The attempt was broadcasted on live television, with approximately 110 million viewers watching the game. ESPN later tweeted a picture of one of the field goals, subsequently featuring Jimmy's ad.[6] Afterwards, PewDiePie's growth grew from 50,000 subscribers to 277,000 subscribers in a single day.

​​​​Controversies

As MrBeast is the most popular internet personality and the most subscribed individual YouTuber of all time (surpassing PewDiePie), whereas he has received a massive fanbase support, there is also a growing number of discontent and hate from within the vocal minority, of which across social media, but mostly in Twitter, they made their opinions known by disliking MrBeast for various reasons (i.e. financial or moral reasons), with some going as far into attempting to discredit his career through claims of his allegedly unruly or reckless behavior, and the controversies surrounding him and his associates have escalated in recent years. Such attempts to cancel MrBeast are often unsuccessful.

Sub4Sub

On 2016, MrBeast made a video about his history on YouTube, and he mentioned his channel called "beast5ty" and that he was doing sub4sub in 2012. This led to him deleting the channel because he thought what he did was wrong and stupid.

Clickbait

Some people have disliked MrBeast and attempted to crumble his reputation over the years.

MrBeast "Faking" His Videos

On April 4, 2018, a YouTuber known as FlyyDoesYT posted a video claiming that Jimmy's videos are fake, and only stars in the beginning (such as in I Tipped Waitresses $20,000) and that he has multiple employees who are miserable working for him, the next day, DramaAlert had an interview with Jimmy about the situation. In response, Jimmy stated that his videos are not fake, his employees love working for him, and he has spent at least $500,000 donating and giving out to people in his videos.

He has also confirmed that he has Crohn's disease, stating that it's the reason why he was not in the entire "I Tipped Waitresses $20,000" video. He even mentions that none of his videos are fake. Fans have since defended Jimmy, and FlyyDoesYT has gotten negative responses over his video because of it.

Controversial Thumbnail

Can 20000 Magets Stop A Bullet Mid Air Thumbnail

Controversial Thumbnail from his most viewed video

Ever since Jimmy released his viral video, "Can 20,000 Magnets Stop a Bullet Mid Air?", which quickly became Jimmy's most viewed video of his in 3 days, the video became pretty controversial due to the thumbnail. The thumbnail does show Jimmy firing an AK weapon towards another person (Chris, Jimmy's roommate), while it did not happen in the video. YouTube has made its Guidelines more strict about guns in videos and thumbnails, especially with it affecting Gun Channels.

People say Jimmy's thumbnail is breaking YouTube's Community Guidelines because of what the thumbnail contains. People say it's misleading and harmful. Due to the criticism that followed, the thumbnail had been changed to not include the person on the opposite side. At the time before the video was removed, it had received the most amount of dislikes ever recorded on Jimmy's YouTube channel at the time, at least a 25% dislike ratio, and a 75% like ratio. The controversial video (although it was removed or set to private by Jimmy at an unspecified time) was reuploaded on June 30, 2019, by a fan posing as MrBeast's YouTube Channel, only with Chris being excluded from its thumbnail. Still, the video continued to remain available online.

"Giving Away Fake Money"

In Jimmy's video titled "I Opened A FREE BANK", people started to claim that Jimmy never actually gave away the money as he shows in his videos. Their evidence was that in one frame of the video, you could see that the money he had given to someone was "prop money" that would have been used in films. This criticism also appeared on DramaAlert, where Keemstar defended him using the disclaimer Jimmy had put in the video description. The statement said:

"We used motion picture money when making this video. Everyone who received the money in the video was paid by check after they left for security purposes (I can’t just carry 6 figures in cash lol). Everyone received 100% of the money they were given."

After this was shown on DramaAlert, people started to believe Jimmy.

Alleged Beast Burger employee exploitation

Ever since Beast Burger was created, it has stirred controversy. Most notably, many Twitter users complained since day 1 that the food was "burnt, uncooked, and plain wrong." Another small controversy stirred on TikTok in December 2021 after multiple employees of Red Robin posted various TikTok's of them packaging and creating Beast Burgers in their job.

I Didn't Eat Anything for 24 Hours video

On July 2, 2022, MrBeast didn't eat anything for 24 hours. In the video he started to get health problems. This video got Jimmy into hate for the video. He has currently not taken any action to delete it.

Grocerygate

In October 2022, MrBeast had planned a video where he would go to a Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Greenville, North Carolina and pay for everyone's groceries on the spot. On the 22nd, Jimmy asked the store manager permission to film in the store, which was granted. However, the plan was leaked to the community by a employee and on the next day on the 23rd, many people went to the store and filled their carts with random stuff, hoping that MrBeast would pay for it all.[7]

However, the manager later informed customers that MrBeast will not be coming due to security reasons. Many customers got angry and some shoplifted the items while others left the groceries behind. Security and other workers tried to stop people from leaving, but they were quickly overwhelmed by angry mobs. By the time police arrived, many of the customers had already left the store. Many refrigerated items went bad and had to be thrown away[8]. In addition, the store was trashed and vandalized by some people, with damage to the store shelves noticeable.

Some of the people who shoplifted from or vandalized the store were caught either through security footage, license plates, online posts that they or other people made, and some anonymous tips. They got fined and were permanently banned from the store. The store was closed for a week while cleanup and repairs were made. Some people who didn't leave stayed behind to help clean the place as well.[9]

Ultimately, the video was never made, MrBeast had to pay for the items that got spoiled or stolen, plus repair costs to the store and a fee, and he ultimately issued an apology for the events.[10]

The employee who leaked the idea to the community was fired and permanently banned from the store, though his identity was not released due to privacy reasons.

Expensive challenges

MrBeast is known for doing a wide variety of expensive challenges, all of them being uploaded to the main MrBeast channel (these do not include the gaming challenges or his try not to laugh challenges). An expensive challenge in this case is a type of challenge video by MrBeast where a limited number of known contestants compete for a large prize like $100,000. These known contestants are usually MrBeast's main crew members like Chris, Chandler, and/or Karl, but they could also be his other friends like Nolan or Tareq. Sometimes, they could make small video series with at least one expensive challenge like the Private Island series, and have contestants which would appear in the entire series but would otherwise likely never appear again, like Blakely or Lincoln from Last to Leave Circle Wins $500,000 and its sequel.

Last Youtuber To Leave Wins $100,000 - Challenge

Jimmy had planned a video for multiple YouTubers to win a 100 grand for a long time. It had finally been released on December 12, 2018, on the Jimmy channel. 12 YouTubers decided to join the challenge to win $100,000.

The rules were as stated: you cannot lay down, you cannot sit down, you can't leave the circle (regardless if you have 1 foot out), and you will be wearing a vest and having 2 lbs added onto the vest every hour to make it more challenging and tiring for the competitors.

If you want to see the results of this challenge, see the results section in the "Last Youtuber To Leave Wins $100,000 - Challenge" page on the MrBeast Wiki.

$200,000 Youtuber Battle Royale

On February 15, 2019, Jimmy announced he will be doing a real-life YouTuber battle royale on March 6; the winning teams would get $100,000. It was an inspiration to Dude Perfect's Airsoft Battle Royale. Team Green (Odd1sOut, Jaiden Animations, and Anthony Padilla) won the first round, while Team White (Preston, Unspeakable, and Typical Gamer) won the second. The video was released on March 12, 2019, at 6 PM EST.

Other Challenges

Projects

TeamTrees – Planting 20 Million Trees

20 Million Trees
Main article: TeamTrees.org

On October 13, 2019, Jimmy stated that October 25 is going to be the largest YouTube collaboration of all time, with many creators replying to join the collaboration.[11] On October 25, Jimmy alongside fellow YouTuber and former NASA engineer Mark Rober announced that they will start a campaign to plant 20 million trees by January 1, 2020.[12] Jimmy had this idea after reaching 20 million subscribers when his fans began requesting him to plant 20 million trees to celebrate the milestone, and to help restore forests lost due to recent forest fires. The campaign is conducted through the charity Arbor Day Foundation, and the campaign is spread through #TeamTrees, where every dollar donated is equal to one new tree being planted.

Thousands of creators and artists, including PewDiePie, Alan Walker, Jeffree Star, Ninja, Jacksepticeye, DanTDM, TheOdd1sOut, Carykh and many more have donated and made videos supporting the campaign. On October 29, Elon Musk donated $1,000,000 towards the campaign, followed closely by Tobi Lutke donating $1,000,001 the next day. The goal was reached on December 20, 2019, but still allowed to keep increasing the numbers.[13] Right now as of September 1st, 2021, they have raised over 23,184,021 dollars to plant that many trees.

MrBeast Burger

MrBeast Burger
Main article: MrBeast Burger on the MrBeast Wiki

MrBeast Burger is an online delivery only fast-food chain and restaurant brand created by MrBeast. This restaurant, temporarily opened physically in only one location, is the key setting and location for the video "I Opened A Restaurant That Pays You To Eat At It".

In a November 2020 article with The Wake Weekly, Will Hyde, a producer of the MrBeast channel, announced that Jimmy would launch a virtual restaurant called "MrBeast Burger" in December 2020. Hyde said his team worked with the company "Virtual Dining Concepts" during the development of the virtual restaurant concept. MrBeast Burger then serves the burgers to restaurants across the United States and customers will be able to order the burgers via online delivery services.

On December 19, 2020, the MrBeast Burger application for Android and iOS devices was developed for ordering food from there only by delivery. For now, the MrBeast Burger deliveries are only available in 300 locations in the United States and not internationally, but there are plans to allow these deliveries to happen internationally in the future.

TeamSeas - Removing 30 Million Pounds of Trash

Main article: TeamSeas

Team Seas (stylized as #teamseas) is another project created by MrBeast and Mark Rober. A dedicated video specifically for taking out plastic was released to MrBeast's main channel on October 29, 2021 at 4:00PM in North Carolina's time zone, a few days after the second anniversary of Team Trees. It is considered as MrBeast's 30 million subscriber special and the spiritual successor to Team Trees, though this time, MrBeast plans to clean the oceans and seas from plastic, with a goal of raising $30,000,000, with one dollar donated equaling to an entire pound of plastic removed from the oceans, rivers, and beaches. Like Team Trees, although it can't fully resolve the issue, it is still a step forward to improving the world's nature. Exactly two years after TeamSeas was launched, on October 29, 2023, Rober and Donaldson announced that 20,000,000 verified pounds of trash had been removed from oceans, waterways, and beaches globally.

Feastables

Feastables is known from MrBeast as "The best tasting chocolate on Earth." it has 7 flavors: Milk Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Milk Crunch, Peanut Butter Crunch, Almond, Dark Chocolate, and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt. He's also done a giveaway until the middle of March where if you scan the QR code on the back you have a chance of winning $10,000 and a year's supply of Feastables.

Deleted & Inactive Channels

Deleted channels

MrBeast has had many channels over the past few years. Some of these channels do not exist anymore. Deleted channels are channels that do not exist currently on the platform. These include:

Inactive channels

MrBeast used to make lots of channels, and lots of these channels are not active anymore today. Inactive channels are channels that have little to no video activity. These include:

Series

Current Series

Real life Videos

Jimmy currently makes random "real-life" videos that he considers "dumb", but nobody has ever seen or done before. He would mostly do outdoor experiments to see what would happen if he were to do a certain thing to certain objects. In addition, he creates "world record videos" where he attempts to break world records (among other forms). The style of these random real-life videos is "Creative Videos" (ex: Destroying My Friend's Car And Surprising Him With A New One), "Experiment Videos" (ex: Can 20,000 Magnets Catch A Bullet Mid Air?), "World Record Videos" (ex: 2,256 Miles In One Uber Ride), and "Challenge Videos" (ex: Breaking Into The World's Toughest Safe).

Donations

Jimmy donates large amounts of money to small Twitch creators, such as his donation of $50,000 to Fortnite Twitch Streamer, Ninja to help St. Judes Cancer Research Charity. He had also donated $30,000 to Ninja to help the Suicide Prevention Center. Jimmy also donated the same amount ($30,000) to another Fortnite Twitch streamer, known as SpaceLyon. In addition to that, he has donated money to "Attractive Twitch Streamers."

Apart from Twitch, he has given thousands of dollars to homeless people. This includes giving $10,000 tips to pizza delivery guys, and multiple videos of a similar fashion.

Retired Series

Worst Intros On YouTube

Jimmy's series, the Worst Intros On YouTube, was one of the reasons his channel gained popularity. The series had about 70+ videos and is arguably considered to be the biggest reason that he is popular on YouTube in the first place. In these videos, Jimmy showcases and rants on horrible YouTube intros, usually made by young people. Throughout the series, he repeats the same jokes involving Asian people, bleach, leaving a child home alone with a phone, and explosions, which he claims can be used "to cure brain cells of cancer". Most of the intros were recorded on smartphones, with the YouTuber dancing in front of the camera with music that they make with their voice in the background, holding a sign that says their username usually on pieces of paper. To add more insult to injury, the signs portrayed were typically unintelligible. He occasionally also stumbles upon "troll intros" made solely to become a part of his series. He also included Minecraft intros and Club Penguin intros in his series. On March 28, 2018, Jimmy private all his Worst Intros videos. A variety of people believed that the reasoning to why he did so was because the series has died down and that Jimmy wanted to stick with real-life videos full-time. He first private one of his most popular Worst Intros videos and then did the same to the rest about a week later. On August 1, 2018, Jimmy privated his last public Worst Intro video titled "WORST INTROS EVER", which had 20 million views and was once his most popular video before the growth of his real-life videos. However, some of it has been re-uploaded by other people.

Fan Videos

Jimmy's influence on YouTube has caused many of his fans to do some "questionable" things in the name of him. This includes fans running down their local street screaming his name, to going to public areas screaming his name. These instances have successfully caught Jimmy's attention, leading him to feature such videos in his own videos on occasion.

Long Videos & Streams

Jimmy used to stream and record videos of himself doing challenges that took nonsensical amounts of time. This includes spinning a fidget spinner for 24 hours, reading the entire Dictionary, even counting to 200,000 (in two day-long halves so far; in a series that focuses on counting to a million), and reading the entire bible in one video. Ironically, Jimmy started playing this game back in 2012.

Subscriber Specials

Since hitting 3 million subscribers, Jimmy has flown out to people's residences who were his channel's millionth subscriber to give the subscriber a challenge. If they completed the challenge, they are given several items that correspond to how many subscribers his channel has (ex: 3 million pennies for 3 million subscribers). His most recent Subscriber Special video was where MrBeast gave his 40th million subscriber 24 hours to give away 40 cars. If he did, he got a custom MrBeast Tesla.

Best Intros

Best Intros is a spin-off series based on his previous series Worst Intros. Unlike the Worst Intros series, Jimmy and his friends are featured ranting and critiquing some of the "best" intros they have found online. However, the series primarily features poorly created and sometimes blatantly low-quality intros, similar to the Worst Intros series. It can be said that the series was mainly created in the means of satire and comedic purposes.

MrBeast's 2020 YouTube Rewind

Main article: Youtube Rewind 2020, Thank God It's Over on the MrBeast Wiki

On November 17, 2020, MrBeast announced that he was going to make his own YouTube Rewind due to YouTube cancelling their annual Rewind that year. MrBeast also said that if other YouTubers wanted to come and help, they could reply to him on Twitter. After 1 month, MrBeast released his own YouTube Rewind on January 1, 2021, titled "Youtube Rewind 2020, Thank God It's Over".

It featured many notable YouTubers giving their thoughts about what should be in MrBeast's Rewind, and their thoughts about the worst events of 2020. In addition, there were tributes to some celebrities who passed away in 2020, such as Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Alex Trebek. There was also a so-called "face reveal" which had been teased by Dream on his Twitter prior to the release of the Rewind, though his face was not shown, instead being hidden under a mask.

Creators featured in the Rewind

Sponsors

Quidd

Quidd has often sponsored Jimmy for him to do his quite costly videos, which often helped him gain a majority of his growth. Because of Quidd, Jimmy made the longest Uber Ride (which was 2,256 miles from North Carolina to California) and 'Tipping Pizza Delivery Guys $10,000'. All of the money Jimmy had used in making those videos was from Quidd. Quidd also helped him make 'Donating $10,000 to random Twitch Streamers', 'Giving Homeless People $1,000', and 'Giving A Random Homeless Man $10,000', all gaining astonishing amounts of views.

Honey

Honey is a browser extension that automatically finds and applies coupon codes at checkout. Jimmy frequently advertises Honey in his videos and has also become an active advertiser for Honey on YouTube videos for monetized content creators.

Dragon City is a game where you collect, battle, and level up dragons. For a promotion with the game, Jimmy made the videos, "Giving $100,000 To A Homeless Person " and "$70,000 Extreme Hide And Seek - Challenge ". Because of these sponsorships, Dragon City created two MrBeast-styled dragons for players to use in-game. The dragons are modeled after his current YouTube logo.

Cirkul

Cirkul is the Water bottle stainless product flavor cartridge. It has flavor including Grape, Green Apple, Blackberry, and more.[14] Jimmy made the video I Survived 7 Days In An Abandoned City for Sponsored.[15]

Recreation of Squid Game

Main articles: MrBeast's recreation of Squid Game and $456,000 Squid Game In Real Life! on the MrBeast Wiki.

MrBeast's recreation of Squid Game, often referred to, by the community, as MrBeast's Squid Game, MrBeast Squid Game, MrBeast Game, or Beast Game, is the name given to MrBeast's project of re-creating the features, games, locations, and progression from the Netflix television series Squid Game. The video featuring the re-created Squid Game, "$456,000 Squid Game In Real Life!", premiered on MrBeast's main channel on November 24, 2021, at 4:00PM EST. Despite the challenges in Squid Game spanning an entire season (or more so, several hours), in MrBeast's video, all 6 re-created challenges were put into one 25-minute video.

History

On October 11, 2021, MrBeast posted a video to his TikTok account, announcing that he will re-create Squid Game if he got 10 million likes on that video, which was accomplished in 9 hours. The reason that he did this was because his videos and the show were being compared to each other because they both feature creative challenges for a chance to win money, with the main difference being that contestants in Squid Game are killed when eliminated. Over the next month, MrBeast would tease parts of the set, with the playground, living quarters, and five of the six games featured in the show being recreated: "Red Light, Green Light", "Sugar Honeycombs", "Tug of War", "Marbles", and "Hopscotch" (renamed "Glass Bridge"). The titular final game was not included in the video, being substituted for musical chairs. On November 22, 2021, MrBeast leaked a few more scenes for the video on a livestream that he made and revealed that the video would be released two days later at 4:00 pm EST, which occurred as planned.

YouTube Records

Ever since its release, "$456,000 Squid Game In Real Life!" has not only broken various records for the MrBeast channel, but for the entirety of YouTube:

  • On December 6, 2021, the video became his most-viewed long-form video by surpassing "I Spent 50 Hours in Solitary Confinement". As of November 4, 2023, it has over 527 million views.
  • The video maintained an extremely high like-to-dislike ratio throughout its lifespan, with it having over 11 million likes and around 100,000 dislikes by the time public dislike counts were removed in mid-December 2021.
  • It was possibly the most anticipated YouTube video the site had seen in years, given that its release was heavily discussed in the media.
  • It is likely the most expensive non-music YouTube video ever produced, with a budget of $3.5M (including prizes).
  • Within one week of releasing the video, MrBeast gained over 6.5 million subscribers, giving him the third-highest weekly subscriber growth in YouTube history. As a result of this unprecedented growth, he gained 9.5 million subscribers in November, breaking CarryMinati's then-record of 9.1 million from May 2020.
