CHARLOTTE: As the world’s most crowd-pleasing YouTuber, Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson has filmed himself eating a 6-foot slice of pizza, driving a car built out of Legos, riding 1,000 laps on a Ferris wheel and, perhaps most famously, counting to 100,000 out loud without leaving his chair — an exercise in self-torture that lasted 40 hours.

At 24, the Greenville native routinely draws more than 100 million eyeballs to his videos, an online career so successful that he recently passed out iPhones on Halloween and gave US$1mil (RM4.40mil) to the winner of a hide-and-seek game.
