Early Life
Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, was born in Wichita, Kansas, on May 7, 1998. He spent most of his early years in Greenville, North Carolina, where he was raised. Jimmy completed his education in 2016 at the small, private Greenville Christian Academy. He has shown an early talent for content creation and digital platform interaction. Inspired by content creators who had already succeeded on the platform, he developed an interest in YouTube throughout his teenage years.
North Carolina’s Greenville is where Donaldson was raised. At 13, he started uploading videos to YouTube under the username MrBeast6000 in early 2012. Let’s Plays and “videos estimating the wealth of other YouTubers” were among his early content types. His “counting to 100,000” video went viral in 2017 after receiving tens of thousands of views in a matter of days. Since then, he has become popular, with most of his videos amassing hundreds of millions of views. His videos started to get bigger and more lavish. Following the success of his channel, Donaldson brought on a few of his childhood friends to co-manage the business. Including Donaldson, the MrBeast team consists of more than 250 individuals as of 2024.
