MrBeast has also fundraised millions of dollars for public causes, his most famous campaign being TeamTree – raising $20 million dollars for planting 20 million trees!
His Team
A surprising fact – the famous YouTube channel is run by 3 best friends. Chris Tyson and Chandler Hallow began working full time for Jimmy Donaldson. Shortly after his college graduation, Tyson was about to enter the corporate world with a new job at hand. That’s when Jimmy said, “Hey, I know you worked really hard for that job, but can you quit it and just come work for me?”. Tyson said yes.
