Jimmy Donaldson, also known as the YouTuber MrBeast, has posted seven videos in 2023.
The outlandish and frenetic challenges in these videos saw him give away at least $1 million in cash.
The world's biggest YouTuber, Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson, kicked off 2023 with a new twist on his famously-generous cash giveaways: bestowing medical aids to people with disabilities.
While the efforts were widely applauded, some accused Donaldson of exploiting people for clout and misrepresenting disabled communities.
No matter how you feel about his grandiose stunts and charities, it's become a reliable format that made him a megastar. In the seven videos he's posted to his main YouTube channel this year so far, he's given away roughly $1,037,215 million in cold-hard cash — building on the $3.2 million he gave away in 2022 (on top of a jet and private island.)
Here's a breakdown of the YouTuber's 2023 giveaways so far and he's done it.
