Even Rolling Stone recognized MrBeast as an award-winning video creator, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. You might have seen his face — one that millions have come to recognize — on the cover of the spring Creators Issue.
But for those who don’t know, MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) is famous for doing expensive stunts and challenges on YouTube. Imagine mixing the best game show ever with the craziness of a real-life video game, and that’s what you get from a MrBeast video: high energy and lots of competition.
To grow on YouTube, it’s a good idea to learn from the best and be inspired by the best. Get a head start by getting to know MrBeast, his YouTube stats, and why he’s so successful on the platform.

To get billions of views like MrBeast, you have to go above and beyond on YouTube. If we’ve learned anything from his journey, it’s that exciting challenges, cash prizes, and making videos with zero wasted minutes is a recipe for success.
Here’s the typical flow of a MrBeast video:
Take a look at this recent upload from MrBeast, “Would You Swim With Sharks For $100,000?” Do you see the classic pattern?
Part of the reason MrBeast is so successful is that he’s not the focus of a video. He gives viewers something to enjoy each step of the way: the contestants, the expensive video sets, and the action that unfolds.
He also keeps your attention with superior editing. Each clip is only seconds long, which creates a hurried yet exciting pace for his content. You don’t have time to think about leaving the video because you're hopelessly hooked.
There's also a feel-good factor to MrBeast's content. Not only does he give money to the lucky winners of his challenges, but he also donates to family, friends, the homeless, and various charities. Sometimes the entire point of a video is, "If we can successfully do this, we'll donate money to that."
In a nutshell, all of these things make MrBeast a YouTube star.
