YouTube sensation Jimmy Donaldson (aka MrBeast) has revealed he made more than $250,000 from posting a video on X, but said it was a ‘bit of a facade’.
“My first X video made over $250,000! But it’s a bit of a facade,” said MrBeast.
“Advertisers saw the attention it was getting and bought ads on my video (I think) and thus my revenue per view is probably higher than what you’d experience,” he added.
The YouTuber added that he planned to choose 10 “random people” to give the money he made.
I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)
