The world’s most popular YouTube blogger, MrBeast, with 177 million subscribers, referred to Crimea as Russian.
He released a video in which he displayed a corresponding map. On it, the peninsula is depicted in the same color as Russia, rather than Ukraine.
Presumably, this depiction in the video by the blogger turned out to be erroneous, as he had previously expressed his support for Ukraine and provided humanitarian aid amounting to $3 million to Ukrainian refugees.
James Stephen Donaldson, known as Jimmy Donaldson and MrBeast, is an American YouTuber, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He is considered a pioneer of the genre of YouTube videos focusing on expensive stunts and challenges.
Donaldson gained popularity by performing various mundane tasks under the name MrBeast for an extended period of time.
MrBeast’s videos fall into three categories: stunt videos where Donaldson or other participants complete interesting, complex, or dangerous tasks; extravagance videos where Donaldson uses a large quantity of a specific product in an unusual way or spends an extravagant sum on it; and giveaway videos where Donaldson gives away large amounts of money or extravagant prizes to people, often with a competitive aspect.
MrBeast frequently involves celebrities in his videos but doesn’t always announce their presence in the thumbnail or video title.
In 2020, Jimmy Donaldson’s net worth was estimated at $8 million. A significant portion of his income comes from AdSense advertising in his YouTube videos. He owns a studio spanning over 5,500 square meters, where he films his YouTube content. Jimmy Donaldson spends up to $10,000 on designing each location for his videos.
In January 2022, Forbes magazine named Jimmy Donaldson the highest-earning YouTuber, earning around $54 million in 2021. As of 2023, each new video costs around $1 million to create.
On July 28, 2022, the number of subscribers to MrBeast’s main channel surpassed 100 million. This made it the fifth channel to reach this milestone, and Jimmy Donaldson became the second individual YouTube user to have over 100 million subscribers. On November 17, 2022, Donaldson was recorded in the Guinness World Records as the “Most Subscribers for an Individual Male on YouTube.”
