A Person Who Made The Difference in The World
Jimmy Donaldson, widely known as the founder of ‘Mr Beast’ helps the world in
two ways. He used to be a normal gamer and lived in the USA. In January 2017, he
published a video which made him famous, getting thousands of view during just one
day. His net worth is estimated to be around $8 million. Since then, he started to
donate money to charities and gave away money to his subscribers. In 2023, he
funded thousands of dollars for cataract surgery for 1000 blind people. The following
year, he helped an organization in Africa to build 1000 wells. He also started some
businesses along the journey. On October 25, 2019, Mr Beast and former NASA
engineer and You Tuber Mark Rober announced a collaborative fundraising challenge
event on YouTube called #TeamTrees. The goal of this project was to raise
$20 million by January 1, 2020, and plant trees "no later than December 2022 “,
which was planting one tree for every dollar donated. On October 29, 2021, Jimmy
and Rober organized another collaborative challenge event on YouTube titled
#TeamSeas. The goal of this project was to raise $30 million for the Ocean
Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup by January 1, 2022. The $30 million goal
would fund the removal of 30 million pounds of plastic and other waste from oceans,
rivers, and beaches.
Jimmy, an unknown gamer, changed the world and is still thinking about more plans
to help more people around the world.
