Mr. Beast BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Disneyland was buzzing with pure joy last weekend as I, MrBeast—yes, Jimmy Donaldson, the world’s most-followed YouTuber—joined forces with Disney and Make-A-Wish America to give forty seriously ill kids a Disneyland experience they’ll never forget. Imagine a scavenger hunt leading wish kids to Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, custom art workshops, hands-on science shows with creators like Mark Rober and ZHC, and candymaking adventures—all tailored so these kids could live out their wildest dreams, even if just for a day. As I shared on Instagram, “Shoutout to Disneyland for working with us to surprise a bunch of amazing Make-A-Wish kids in the park.” Notably, this event was a moment for the children and families themselves, not for streaming or YouTube content, and Disney Experiences chair Josh D’Amaro later remarked how the demand for creator wishes is bigger than ever.

Meanwhile, my Beast Games project—a massive, Amazon MGM-backed reality game show with a jaw-dropping five million dollar prize—has made headlines for both its scale and controversy. The New York Times highlighted contestant allegations about inadequate food and medical care during taping at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada. Some contestants described sparse meals and slow production responses to their health concerns, saying, “We were treated horribly.” My team responded by clarifying that three meals a day were provided, and all participants had signed liability waivers typical for reality competition shows. Allegations remain disputed and are still being covered widely. The Independent has approached me for comment.

In another headline moment, old podcast clips resurfaced showing my teenage self using inappropriate language. Through a spokesperson, I acknowledged those past mistakes, emphasized that I’ve apologized before, and affirmed my ongoing efforts to use my influence responsibly, recognizing that being the world’s biggest creator comes with real accountability.

Turning to the future, I’ve been voicing concerns about AI’s impact on creators, recently warning on X that with OpenAI’s Sora tool generating realistic videos, “scary times” could lie ahead, as it may blur the line between authentic and artificial content. Despite my experiments with AI myself—including launching and then pulling an AI YouTube thumbnail tool in favor of promoting human artists—I maintain that protecting and empowering creators comes first.

All the while, philanthropic work continues: in February, Beast Philanthropy partnered with Light AI to deliver 10,000 smartphone-based diagnostic tests for Group A Streptococcus to patients across Africa. On social media, I’ve been actively posting about these events, drawing attention not just for entertainment, but for making a tangible impact in people’s lives.
