Renowned American YouTuber, MrBeast, widely celebrated for his record-breaking philanthropy and viral content, has once again captured global attention with the revelation of how much was raised during his very first livestream event.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) account, MrBeast shared that the livestream pulled in an astonishing $12 million in donations, all of which will go directly to charitable causes. This remarkable feat not only set a new personal record for the creator but also established a new global benchmark for livestream fundraising.
“Just did my first stream and we raised over $12,000,000 for charity! Most money ever raised in a live stream 😮🥺,” MrBeast wrote in the viral tweet, sparking massive reactions from fans and fellow content creators worldwide. The overwhelming success has been hailed as proof of the power of online communities when mobilized for good causes.
According to MrBeast, the achievement is especially historic because it makes his very first livestream the largest fundraising livestream ever recorded, surpassing a previous Twitch initiative that raised $11.9 million over two days. Unlike that multi-day event, MrBeast’s record was set in just a single stream, underscoring the scale of his influence.
The news has since trended across multiple platforms, with many fans applauding MrBeast for continuing to use his platform to make a tangible difference in the world. Industry experts also described the milestone as a significant moment for digital media, showing how streaming can be leveraged not only for entertainment but also for life-changing charity efforts.
Beyond the numbers, MrBeast’s livestream highlighted his ongoing mission to inspire generosity and push the boundaries of what creators can achieve. Many have noted that this historic record may pave the way for future creators to dream bigger when it comes to combining entertainment with philanthropy.
