In a video entitled ‘I Built 100 Houses And Gave Them Away’ the world’s most popular YouTuber continued to demonstrate that his channel is for more than crazy videos.
James Donaldson, aka ‘MrBeast’ has 300 million subscribers, and they tune in to watch him perform crazy stunts, and in general do crazy things, like shredding a half-million-dollar Lamborghini and hiring a real assassin to try and hunt him down.
But the revenue from these wanton acts of viral content goes to more than just filming expenses—MrBeast has spent millions and millions on philanthropic causes.
Taking his ‘Beast Philanthropy’ series to Central and South America, the YouTuber targeted areas where natural disasters had left people homeless.
In Jamaica, a family living in a rural mountainous area lost their home in a landslide—they got a new modern home, as did another family whose house was flooded every time there were heavy rains.
In El Salvador, MrBeast paid for the construction of row housing a safe distance from a river that had recently flooded and washed a small community away. He also built a soccer pitch for the kids to play on, and paid for brand-new soccer equipment, shirts, and cleats for all the kids.
At this point, he had given away 50 family homes.
In Argentina, he and his partners transformed 15 structures in low-income housing areas into ones that were comfortable, weather-resistant, and had all basic amenities. By the time he had finished doing the same in Mexico, he had given away 83 houses.
In Colombia, in an area that had been dismantled by tornadoes, 17 families got new furnished houses.

All the families’ reactions to the classic blindfold reveal were caught on camera for a 9-minute montage of tears, jumping for joy, and celebrating in Spanish.

This is just the latest installment in MrBeast’s philanthropic activities—some of which go to projects on his subchannel Beast Philanthropy. He’s dug wells for villages in Africa, helped 1,000 kids and young people get cochlear implants, and held several massive fundraisers for feeding families, constructing solar power stations, and more.
