Although active on YouTube since 2012, MrBeast gained global popularity in 2018 after giving away thousands of dollars to obscure Twitch streamers and YouTubers.
Recently, Mr. Donaldson made headlines by expressing his interest in running for the US presidency. He wrote on X, “If I were president I wouldn’t care about party lines, I’d just always truly make the American people my #1 priority. For problems I’m ignorant of I’d have experts from the left and right advise me on them and try to find the middle ground that’s best for America. Wouldn’t be buyable, don’t care about doing things just because my party says I should, and I would focus on uniting the country instead of dividing it. Anyways, we can pick this up in 15 years when I’m old enough to run haha.”
