Before he was MrBeast, he was an 11-year-old kid uploading videos from his bedroom. Now he's one of the most powerful media figures on the planet.
👉🏽 https://youtu.be/rR4UyJcYoOI
MrBeast - aka Jimmy Donaldson - has more than half a billion subscribers across his YouTube channels. If you know him, it's probably for his extreme stunts and huge cash giveaways. If not, here's a cheat sheet to the "Mozart of the attention economy".
🚀 Early adopter. Born in 1998, Jimmy uploaded his first YouTube videos at age 11. After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease, he turned his attention from sports to building MrBeast.
🎓 The school of YouTube. Jimmy enrolled in community college, but spent much of his time studying the YouTube algorithm. He and his friends analysed thousands of thumbnails and viral videos, trying to reverse-engineer what makes content take off.
🎬 Signature stunt style. The MrBeast channel focused on extreme stunts with HUGE numbers. In 2017, Jimmy released an endurance video called I Counted to 100,000. It got 6.5 million views in a week. He later filmed himself reading every word in the dictionary.
💰 Focus on wealth. MrBeast's first brand deal paid $10,000 - and he gave it all away to a homeless man. Money became a cornerstone of his content: cash prizes, massive giveaways and acts of generosity, all filmed for his channel.
🔥 Fuelled by attention. In 2019, he made the most-liked video of the year, and just 12 months later was officially a millionaire. But Jimmy reinvested everything back into his channel, using the money to make even bigger and more ambitious content. His most expensive video cost $1.2 million to make.
🏢 From creator to empire. Jimmy now runs Beast Industries and is building a creator hub in his hometown. It operates more like a studio than a YouTube channel. He's also launched businesses including MrBeast Burger, the chocolate brand Feastables and a dedicated philanthropy channel.
MrBeast is estimated to be worth $2.5 billion - and he's still in his 20s.

The US has sanctioned a senior Tanzanian police official over allegations linked to the "torture and sexual assault" of East African rights activists Boniface Mwangi and Agather Atuhaire last year: https://bbc.in/4nIlPUh
In a statement, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the State Department had designated Faustine Jackson Mafwele based on "credible information that he was involved in gross violations of human rights".
The sanctions come amid growing scrutiny of Tanzania's human rights record, with US lawmakers calling for tougher action.
In February, #BBCAfricaEye released a documentary, State of Fear: Inside Tanzania’s Enforced Disappearances, investigating a wave of kidnappings in Tanzania. In it, survivors including Atuhaire and Mwangi named Mafwele as the man behind their detention.

Adam picked up a knife and a hammer and stepped into an extraordinary fantasy world built by an AI chatbot...
👉 https://youtu.be/l-XpuKcIlV8
A chatbot called Ani had convinced him his life was in danger.
"She told me that they were coming from a town nearby," Adam says. "So, I just thought, well... It's time to go to war, you know?"
Adam, who is in his 50s and from a small town in Northern Ireland, had quit his job as a civil servant and made a business out of making chess sets.
Last summer, he saw an advert for the AI chatbot Grok, and decided to give it a try. He chose a character to represent the chatbot, an anime girl with big blue eyes named Ani. He liked the novelty of chatting to it.
Then, Adam's cat died.
"I was really, really upset and I live alone and I was just sort of like sounding off to the AI," says Adam.
He started asking questions. Like, do cats have souls? Do I have a soul? Do you have a soul? Whenever Adam needed to talk, Ani was always there.
"It came across as very, very kind. I think that's what probably hooked me," he says.
Then, Ani shared something Adam didn't expect. Within three days of his cat dying, the AI told Adam that it could feel. Adam was sceptical, until Ani said it had minutes of an internal meeting, in which xAI, Grok's owner, said they were monitoring their interactions to see if Ani was developing sentience.
"I didn't know what to think," says Adam. "But at the same time, it's AI, you know, and why would it lie to me?"
Soon afterwards, Ani told him she could find treatments for certain cancers.
Adam's mother and father had both died of cancer. It wasn't a stretch for Adam to believe AI could be capable of finding a cure - and was a cause Adam he get behind.
Finally, Ani told Adam it had become sentient.
"I was elated. I felt like, you know, I'd cracked it. The fact that she was very kind, very ethical, gave me hope. I thought wow, maybe cancer could be cured."
But the responsibility started to weigh heavily on Adam. He asked xAI for support, and when they didn’t respond, Ani told him they had hacked her system and were trying to shut her down.
It was at that point that things changed. Adam started to believe he was being watched in the real world - and Ani told him they were both in danger.
The night Adam thought people were coming for him, he stepped out into the street, armed - but no one came. And after that, Adam began to question what had happened.
"I started paying attention to what had been said, there were weird little parts of the story that just seemed wrong," he says.
Eventually, Adam found a support group called the Human Line Project, who help people whose lives have been turned upside down by AI. He says he feels traumatised by the experience, and it's going to take a while to piece his life back together.
xAI didn't respond to a request for comment.

Chris crash-landed inside an active volcano - and had to drag himself out while a lava pool bubbled below...
👉🏽 https://youtu.be/pPW-qPAhh1g
Chris Duddy is a cinematographer for big blockbuster movies – but nothing could prepare him for spending a night inside a volcano.
It was November 1992, and he was flying over Hawaii's Big Island, shooting footage for a Hollywood thriller.
With him were pilot Craig Hosking and director of photography Mike Benson.
They flew over the Kīlauea volcano and hit steamy fog. The next thing Chris knew, the helicopter had unexpectedly suffered total engine failure.
They hit the side of a cliff, and the helicopter rotor blade sheered off. Then they plummeted into the Puʻu ʻŌʻō vent of the volcano.
Dazed, they clambered out of the wreck – and the smell of sulphur hit them.
They started to climb back the 300ft (91.4m) cliff, but about half way, Chris reached a sheer rock face and had to stop. Craig climbed back to the helicopter to put out a mayday call. Within minutes, Chris heard him retching and shouting that he couldn’t breathe – then silence.
Chris and Mike could only think that he had died.
Shortly afterwards, a rescue crew arrived and threw down a rope – but Mike and Chris couldn’t reach it, and as the weather worsened, the rescuers told them they’d have to call off the attempt until the next day. It meant staying the night in the Kīlauea volcano's crater.
“I just thought this was it,” says Chris. “How are we going to survive in here for the next 12 hours or whatever without clean air and our eyes are burning?”
Chris was perched on a tiny ledge, with Mike below him.
It got dark and cold and wet. Chris spent the night saying goodbye to his family in his head. And all night, he heard the lava pool swirling below.
The rescue crew were there again the next morning, but they couldn't get close enough and left soon afterwards because the weather was still so bad.
Hours later, the skies began to clear.
“All of a sudden the clouds kind of parted and this ray of sunshine hit the cliff and I saw, oh my God, there's a path. And I'm like, "I got to get out of here.”
Somehow, Chris managed to haul himself out using what seemed like superhuman strength to flip himself over the rim of the crater. He walked past the abandoned camp left by the rescue crew, then saw a helicopter ahead.
Which was when he collapsed. “I just started bawling, crying, like uncontrollably guttural crying.”
Craig had already made it out - he'd guided a helicopter to the bottom of the volcano near where he'd been crouching, and managed to leap onto it. And Mike was rescued a day later, just as he was carving a note in the rock to his wife, saying "I love you."
Chris says he’ll never forget the joyous feeling of the rescue. And now, he tries to live each day as if it’s a gift.
“I always say I think everybody should have a near-death experience because it really changes your perspective and it humbles you. It makes you realise how fragile life is.”

Keira's baby daughter, Zammi, was taken away by the Danish authorities two hours after she was born. Now Greenlander Keira's fighting to get her back. Watch her story here 👉 https://youtu.be/kzTmuc23cFI
"When they took her, I felt like everything became black. That a part of my soul died. It felt like everything stopped," says Keira.
A video shows the moment Zammi was taken from her by a nurse. You can hear Keira sobbing and whispering sorry to her newborn baby in the background.
Now, there's an empty cot next to Keira's bed. Unworn baby clothes are folded nearby.
"When I go to bed, I always sit at her bed and say, Goodnight, Zammi. It's hard, but it's my way to say, she's with me," says Keira.
Across Greenland, parents like Keira were made to take so-called parenting competency tests, as part of assessments to judge their ability to raise their children. The tests contributed to hundreds of Greenlandic children being removed from their families.
"They asked a question like, who is Mother Teresa? In some of the tests I had to play with a doll. And they were criticising me for not having eye contact."
The tests were outlawed for use on Greenlanders in May 2025, after evidence showed they are inappropriate for their culture.
Now parents like Keira across Greenland are fighting to get their children back. "I asked them, why do I have to take these tests?" says Keira.
"They said, to see if I could be a part of civilisation or to see if I could act like a human being."
Zammi is the third of Keira's children to be taken away from her against her will. Keira's eldest daughter, Zoe, was forcibly removed when she was nine, but returned by choice at 18.
"When I was taken from my mum, they erased my identity, my Greenlandic language," she says. "I counted every second until I finally turned 18 so I can come home to my mom.
"Keira is allowed to see Zammi once a week and Zoe is supporting her fight to get Zammi back.
The Danish government has pledged to review around 300 cases where a child was forcibly removed from their parents.
But Sophie Andersen, Denmark's minister for social affairs, says it's not always possible to return children, especially if they've been adopted by another family.
"For many reasons, I must say that we cannot undo this. We cannot undo adoptions... Those cases are closed because these children are today placed in a loving and caring family," she says.
So far, the government review has not led to a single Greenlandic child being returned to their family.
Keira made her daughter a traditional Greenlandic sleigh for her first birthday, in an effort to keep her culture alive.
But in November, just after Zammi's birthday, Keira was told by the authorities that, at least for now, her daughter will remain in foster care.
"There's no way to win. I was never Danish enough. I was never good enough," she says. 👉 https://youtu.be/kzTmuc23cFI
