This YouTuber has long been famous for his outrageous spending habits.
The person being referred to in this story is Jimmy Donaldson, also known by his famous nickname MrBeast. For a long time, MrBeast has been known for his lavish spending. In fact, to create content on YouTube, he is willing to give away amounts of money reaching tens of thousands, sometimes even hundreds of thousands of dollars, to people he doesn’t even know. This is also the reason that helped MrBeast surpass PewDiePie, becoming the individual YouTuber with the most subscribers on YouTube. Recently, MrBeast has made another extremely impressive move.
Accordingly, MrBeast has purchased all 5 houses in a neighborhood in North Carolina for his family and friends to live in. It is known that the first house he bought was in 2018 to live with his family for about $320,000 (over 7 billion VND). After that, the YouTuber completed the acquisition of the remaining 4 houses with a total value of up to $2 million (nearly 50 billion VND) to serve as housing for his company’s employees. Even more notably, the YouTuber’s ambition doesn’t stop there as MrBeast still wants to buy the last house in the neighborhood, but since the homeowner wants to stay put until their children finish school, everything is still on hold.
At first glance, this may seem extravagant, but for MrBeast, this is truly quite easy, especially with his somewhat eccentric personality and immense wealth. According to statistics, MrBeast’s accumulated wealth is estimated to be around $54 million, with more than 150 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and a plethora of videos that have garnered tens of millions of views. It is reported that with his ambitions, MrBeast seems to be looking to follow in the footsteps of Elon Musk, aiming to transform an entire isolated town into a residence for his company.
In fact, being willing to gift his viewers a private jet or pay for life-changing surgeries, spending just $2 million on real estate might not be such a big deal after all.
