His MrBeast YouTube channel had 112.2 million subscribers as of November 17, 2022, making it the fourth-most-subscribed on the platform, and the highest by an individual.
Donaldson began posting videos to YouTube in early 2012 at the age of 13 under the handle MrBeast6000; his early content ranged from Let’s Plays to “videos estimating the wealth of other YouTubers.”
He went viral in 2017 after his “counting to 100,000” video earned tens of thousands of views in just a few days, and he has become increasingly popular ever since, with most of his videos gaining tens of millions of views.

Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is taking over the food industry, one treat at a time. Just days after he opened the first brick-and-mortar location for fast food restaurant MrBeast Burger, Donaldson announced a new product for his Feastables brand. The YouTube star’s take on cookies is now available at Walmart locations around the United States.

While Donaldson celebrated the launch of his brick-and-mortar burger joint, some of his keen-eyed fans figured out that he was about to launch a new food item.
A picture posted to Twitter showed bags of candy loaded onto a pallet at a nondescript Walmart stockroom. It wasn’t clear exactly what was in the bags, and Donaldson himself stayed quiet for a few days.
As it turns out, the immensely popular YouTube star only delayed his announcement because he was waiting for the new Feastables snack to arrive at all Walmart locations in the U.S. The rollout was complete by September 16, when Donaldson returned to Twitter to introduce his cookies to the world.
