MrBeast also does a lot of charity work. He has a food bank to help people in the US
and started a snack brand called Feastables.
His videos cost a lot to make, sometimes more than he earns from ads. Sponsorships
help him pay for these videos. Other YouTubers admire his hard work and creativity.
MrBeast’s friendly personality helps his success. Even his rival PewDiePie
congratulated him when he became the top YouTuber. MrBeast is still behind
T-Series, an Indian music channel with over 246 million subscribers. But he might
become the top YouTube channel one day.
