In this YouTube video, MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) visits top Apex Legends streamer Shroud (Michael Grzesiek) at his house for a sponsored charity event organized by Apex Legends. The premise is that for each kill Shroud gets in Apex Legends matches, Apex will donate a set amount of money to a charity chosen by Shroud. The donation amount per kill escalates throughout the video—from $2,000 to $5,000, then $10,000—targeting veterans, children’s hospitals (St. Jude’s), and a local animal shelter. The duo plays several games, with MrBeast providing commentary, jokes, and occasional sabotage, while tracking the cumulative donations. Apex caps the total donations, resulting in $32,000 for veterans, $70,000 for children’s hospitals, and $10,000 for an animal shelter, totaling $112,000. The video includes promotional calls to action for Apex Legends, Amazon/Twitch Prime subscriptions to Shroud, and a reminder to subscribe to MrBeast’s channel. The tone is informal, enthusiastic, and heavily branded, blending gameplay banter with charity messaging.
Chapters
Thank you Apex Legends for sponsoring this video. As you guys know, we did a battle royale event sponsored by Apex Legends, and that was a lot of fun. And when talking with the marketing guy at EA, he just wanted to do more stuff with us. So we decided to go to Shroud's house because he's the biggest Apex Legends streamer, and obviously they're the sponsor of this video. And every kill he gets, Apex Legends will donate money to a charity of our choice. So we just got to his house. We don't, you know, want to film the outside because we don't want to give away anything. Currently he's streaming and he's in a game, but when this game ends, We're gonna barge in. Yeah, so I kind of have to use the bathroom, so while we're waiting on him, I'm gonna donate and ask him where his bathroom is. I hope it goes through before the game ends. Oh, he just won. Oh really?
Yeah.
Hey, what's up, man?
Hello! Oh, you made it!
Yeah, what's up, man? I just donated asking where your bathroom was, so I think you missed it.
I never made it before in the flesh. How's it going?
Great! So basically Apex Legends hit us up and wanted us to do a video with Shroud where we just donate money to charity. So we're gonna play like a few games, and every time he gets a kill, we're gonna donate a few thousand dollars to charity to put a little pressure on you. And by we, I mean Apex Legends.
You want to jump in right in right now?
Yeah, or after this one? No, this one right here. We'll see how you do. We'll do $2,000 per kill. It's all Apex's money, so it doesn't matter to me.
Okay, $2,000 per kill.
Yep, go off. Do you have any charity, or is there anything that like matters a lot to you?
I'm not very good with like specific charities. Yeah, I would definitely like to see some go to veterans. Okay, so $2,000 per kill?
$2,000 per kill. We'll see, we'll see how it goes.
Got one.
No!
No! Tyler, this is for veterans.
Please come on, you can do this, Tyler.
Yes! Oh no— I'll give another one.
We'll do $2,000. All right, well let's do another one then. Yeah, maybe you want to make it $5,000 per kill now?
Yeah sure, $5,000 per kill.
Now he's gonna go off. Doesn't matter how many kills you get, every kill is 5 grand donated. You wanna still do veterans? Yes. Alright, let's give that a try.
And I'm praying— I think we could get 3 kills. 3? 3. I think we do 3. Alright, Tyler, I need to drop 20. 100 grand.
Apex just walks in, they're like, alright, cut it off. 100 grand, too much.
Am I gonna 20-bub right now or cancel? Cancel. You know what's weird about a live audience? It's way more pressure than like thousands of thousands of people watching you online.
I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, when we film some stuff and we're like, I got one.
Where's the other one?
Oh, just one life.
All right, you're at 15.
Um, Chandler, don't let him do too good. I got to push. If you guys have Amazon Prime, you should use it on, uh, Shroud.
Amazon Prime? Twitch Prime? Someone said Twitch Prime? Yeah, yeah, yeah, go, go use it on Shroud right now if you're watching. Oh God, I actually remember this.
Oh no, that's—
we'll count that.
It's like watching like LeBron James play, pretty much.
Like, this would be me if I was good 5?
Wait, that's 25 so far?
Yep.
Oh boy. Sorry Apex. I got it. Oh my goodness.
The last one? Yeah, I'm good. Okay. Oh. Oh. Nice. Oh no. Is this real? Wait, what really just happened?
Apex was like, "Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Stop, stop." Dude, dude. What the fuck? They're like, "That's too much." I was at 30 grand. Yeah, so I guess we'll do 30 grand. They kicked him out of the game. They were like, we can't afford this.
Apex pulled the plug. Oh my God, that is—
alright, well, it is what it is. Hey guys, it's future me. This is my mom. We just donated the $32,000 to the Wounded Warriors. Back to the video. Alright, you want me to do it?
So you be my keyboard?
Yes. He's got his hurt arm.
You gotta be my keyboard. I need this for my broken elbow.
Alright, let's do this. Chris, how much should we do per kill? This one's gonna be harsh. Yeah, let's do $10,000 per kill then.
$10,000 per kill?
Yeah. Would it be a dick thing to stop following you?
Stop what? Oh, stop following.
Sup boys? Let's go over here.
This is so confusing. I don't know where you're going. What's your plan here?
Where are we going? I'm holding the space key.
Okay, we'll get these boxes.
Okay, I'm just gonna hit F the entire time.
Okay, okay. Are you serious? Come on, man. We have to keep going? Okay, let's try again, I guess. What is happening? So there's like a bug that you can abuse and you can kick people out of games.
Oh really?
So I think someone is trolling us and kicking us out of games. That's messed up. Yeah, whoever's doing that is taking away from charity.
What the hell?
What is wrong with you?
Oh yeah, speaking of which, which one are we doing next? $10,000 per kill for Children's Hospital. Some form, I don't know.
I didn't have enough bullets.
Don't worry, I feel like I'm doing terrible.
It's fine, it's fine. Press Z. Oh, you gotta fly.

There we go. Oh my God, yeah, let's guarantee it, let's guarantee it. There we go, let's rest, let's rest.
Skadoodle, where's that other guy we downed up here? Should we finish him?
Yeah, Mark. Oh, it's another team, dude. Yes, you got 2 more, baby.
All right, we're getting way too many kills. We're just gonna walk down this.
This is the last team, we gotta win this game, baby.
I'm not, uh, Shroud's not allowed to kill any more people. I'm gonna just take him over here.
We gotta win this game, baby. He said Come on, come on! No, no, no!
You don't get to shoot! No shooting! Stop! Stop!
No, dude! We've reached an impasse.
You gotta stop!
It's sabotage!
Yeah, sorry. Sorry about this.
If I win this game of you fighting against me, man, I swear— Listen, I know you don't want me to get these kills, but I really want to win.
But Mark, I believe in you, man. He wants the W, so carry him. Near peek.
Oh no, oh no! Yes, yes, yes! I only have one shot left!
No, stop, stop, stop! I'm gonna keep jumping!
You're messing with my aim!
We're just gonna stare at this tree for a moment. That's a nice tree.
That's a good tree right here.
I'm gonna wait for him to start shooting and then just jump.
No! No! Sabotage!
Chris, how mad do you think they would be about letting me— Yes, yes, yes!
Come on! Stop jumping! I gotta secure it though.
Alright, I'm not even— no, stop. We're going over here. Stop, stop! No, Z, Z, uh, Q. I'm getting sabotaged, man! No, stop!

Oh dude, I just wanted one more. Well, we got 7.
Hey, I'm back. So we just did $70,000 to St. Jude's. Here's a picture of the receipt. We had to do multiple donations 'cause obviously that's a large number. We can't do it all at once, but we did it, right mom? Yes, we did do it. Oh, just gonna leave me hanging?
Yeah, you're just gonna leave me hanging. Oh!
All right, so we're up to $102,000 so far.
$102,000?
Yeah, $32,000 to veterans and then $70,000 to children's hospitals. Thank you Apex Legends.
Can we do another game?
I don't know. All right, here, Chris, you wanna do the next one? Sure.
Wait, how much are we gonna do now?
Let's do one more at $5,000.
$5,000 per kill? Yep.
We'll do one more game.
Okay.
We're switching up and now it's $5,000 per kill.
All right. Oh yeah, what charity are we gonna do this one for?
Oh, um.

Tyler said for the puppies. What if we lose immediately? Does that not count? Like, what if we just die?
All right, then we can do another one.
Yeah, we can do another one. It's got to be like a real game, you know?
We're going to give the puppies some love.
We got to get the puppies some love for sure. I'm going to be really sad if I only get like one kill. Get that off me.
Oh, there we go.
