• On Thursday, MrBeast hit 100 million subscribers.

• The YouTuber broadcasted his live reaction and thanked his fans.

• He thinks this is the beginning of his career, as he has more video ideas to post.

MrBeast reached 100 million subscribers on July 28 and became the second individual creator to do so.

MrBeast, who is also known as Jimmy Donaldson, thanked his fans for their support in a live stream on his channel.

Every single one of you is appreciated. He said, "This is all I've ever done with my life, I wake up every day and focus on making the best videos possible." I don't care about anything else. It is the only thing that makes me happy.

Donaldson's channel is the fifth most-subscribed in the world, and he is one of the highest paid creators on the platform. Felix Kjellberg, also known as "PewDiePie", is the only other individual creator to have reached 100 million subscribers.

Donaldson said he has many more ideas for content that he wants to post on his channel and that he plans to build his career on the internet for at least 20 to 30 years.

"I feel like this is just the beginning, and I don't know if that sounds arrogant to say, but I really do feel like this is just the beginning and I have so much more to give," he said.

In one of the celebratory messages Donaldson wrote, "I'm grateful I get to do this all day everyday, no matter how big I get, I'll never own a mansion, yacht, Lamborghini or anything like that."

There is a reputation for the YouTuber to give large sums of money to his fans in his videos. He rose to fame by donating thousands of dollars to small streamers and YouTubers, as well as filming elaborate competitions where fans have the chance to win large prizes. He gave away half a million dollars to a fan in a competition inspired by a chocolate factory and recreated the show squid game for a contest.

Donaldson founded a charity called Beast Philanthropy in 2020 to help people living in poverty, as well as owning a burger chain and chocolate products.
