“MrBeast’s Secret Telegram Group Sparks FBI Investigation: What You Need to Know!”
His early viral videos included challenging feats — from reading every word in the dictionary to counting from zero to 100,000 for 40 straight hours — and his ambitious challenges and money giveaways, like “curing” 1,000 people’s blindness, have helped him grow his channel to roughly 240 million subscribers: the most in YouTube’s history, as per BI.
The 26-year-old is also an entrepreneur who launched the virtual restaurant brand MrBeast Burger in 2020 and a supposedly better-for-you chocolate business called Feastables in 2022.

Overall, MrBeast’s endeavors helped him rake in somewhere between $600 to $700 million annually, according to BI.
The once positive opinions of MrBeast slowly started to shift after a video resurfaced online of him using racial and homophobic slurs. On August 1, the YouTube star reportedly issued an apology for the comments.
MrBeast has also reportedly been referred to as a “fraud” by some for allegedly staging content and has been accused of knowingly hiring a registered sex offender.

Tyson has reportedly denied the allegations, but she and MrBeast “mutually decided” that she should step away from the channel to focus on “family and mental health.”
