A glimpse into MrBeast's YouTube journey

Jimmy started out his YouTube journey way back in 2012 but gained prominence in 2017 with his Counting to 10,000 in one sitting video. Donaldson uploaded his first YouTube video in February 2012, at the age of 13, under the name MrBeast6000.

Jimmy majorly stuck to uploading video game-related content using titles like Minecraft, Pokemon Online, Black Ops 2, and Battle Pirates. He also tried his hand at other content for his channel, and in his first YouTube series, he discussed how much prominent content creators and YouTubers like PewDiePie earn. It took him approximately three years to cross the 2000-subscriber mark on his main channel.

After going insanely viral in 2017, MrBeast dedicated a few years of his life to making a name for himself using 19 different YouTube channels.

From handing out millions to those in need to starting his very own business ventures (BeastBurgers and Feastables), his content now ranges from outrageous stunts involving celebrities, internet personalities, and ridiculous cash prizes all the way to gaming and reaction videos.

He also extended his reach by posting his content in a variety of different languages (including Hindi, Spanish, Russian, and more). Evidently, 2022 has been an incredible year for Jimmy, and he definitely has some good numbers to show for it.
