This weekend, MrBeast uploaded a video, which he had scheduled back in 2015 to go live this year, addressing himself 10 years in the future.<\/p>\n
In a separate video uploaded this weekend, the now 27-year-old filmed himself reacting to the video posted by his 17-year-old self. “I can\u2019t believe how much has changed,” he wrote in the video’s caption.<\/p>\n
Today, MrBeast, whose real name is James “Jimmy” Donaldson, is one of the most popular content creators in the world, and currently has 443 million subscribers on YouTube. This year, Forbes<\/em> named him the top content creator in the world, reporting earnings of $85 million.<\/a><\/p>\n The content that has catapulted MrBeast to fame is often centered around big budget, elaborate stunts and challenges, with videos like “Last To Leave The Circle Wins $500,000,” and “7 Days Stranded on an Island,” having amassed hundreds of millions of views on YouTube.<\/p>\n Beyond this, he is known for charitable acts. In August, he launched the #TeamWater fundraiser<\/a>, which ultimately raised a total of $40,000,000<\/a> to help 2 million people have access to clean water for decades.<\/p>\n However, he is no stranger to controversy, with viewers recently raising safety concerns about his content, specifically a video where a man was trapped inside of a burning house<\/a>, with the goal of winning $500,000. In response to criticism, he said, “I take safety more seriously than you could ever imagine.”<\/p>\n The original video, \u2018Hi Me In 10 Years,\u2019 was uploaded to MrBeast\u2019s main channel on October 4, and, as of press time, has been viewed over 24 million times.<\/p>\nWhat To Know<\/h2>\n
