In this YouTube video, MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) responds to viewer feedback from a previous $10,000 homeless giveaway by distributing $1,000 to several homeless individuals. He explains that the money is funded by the mobile app Quidd, describing its free collectible‑card features and how users can trade and send cards. The video follows MrBeast and his crew as they locate homeless people, interview them about their situations (e.g., a parent of two children, a recent job loss), and hand over the cash, asking recipients to promise not to spend it on alcohol. He also gives a $200 tip to his cameraman Chris, a $500 tip to a pizza delivery driver, and briefly mentions a $100 giveaway for viewers who say “like and subscribe to MrBeast.” Throughout, MrBeast addresses criticism that the giveaways are for views, defends the authenticity of the recipients, and discloses that one of the final recipients is a person he knows personally. The tone is informal, enthusiastic, and promotional, mixing charitable intent with brand sponsorship and self‑referential humor.
Chapters
What's up guys, last time I gave a homeless person $10,000 and a lot of you guys were like, you should have split it between people, divvied it up. Help, so, uh, if you want to take it, it's about $10,000. I'm not joking. You're right, man. So today I have a lot of money. We're going to be giving multiple homeless people $1,000 each because that's what you guys wanted. And so yeah, I'm just gonna drive around and try to find some homeless people and And, uh, this money was given to me by Quidd. All the thousands of dollars I'm gonna be giving away to homeless people were provided by an app called Quidd. So before I show me giving away the money, I need to tell you about Quidd. Quidd is a new app on iOS and Android, and it's pretty unique. Quidd allows you to collect cards and stickers from your favorite shows like Breaking Bad or Adventure Time. I like Adventure Time. All for free. I mean, surprisingly, it's a free app. So as you see, you open packs of cards and you collect cards, and actually some of these cards are pretty rare. There's only a limited amount. Which makes it kinda cool because you can trade these cards back and forth with your friends. And Quidd also added new collector packs where you can actually open up MrBeast packs. Like, you can actually open up packs and get stickers of me, which is like insanely cool. And to make it even more interesting, and the part that I personally like about the app, is that you can send these cards through text messages. You can actually drag and drop them onto text messages. And, uh, you know, me and my roommate have watched Adventure Time before, so it's kinda fun just to send him some of those. Or I'm sure a lot of you have seen Breaking Bad or know someone who loves Breaking Bad. You could, you know, open some packs and send them that. It's just a cool way to interact with other people that like the same shows as you. You can just, you know, send cards like that through text, and I don't know, I find it pretty cool. Hey, how are you doing? Not much. I'm a YouTuber, and I was just— I mean, you can see the camera. How are you? What's your situation?
I got no legs, my arm's messed up.
Ah, doesn't sound—
I'm trying to support a family.
Oh really? Do you have kids or something?
I got 2 kids. I got a girl that's, uh, 15, and my little boy is 7.
Oh, well, I, uh—

So someone's gonna get you, so you're— that's good. Okay, cuz I just don't want you to get robbed or anything, so you're fine.
I'm fine.
All right, most people get mad and say this is a bad way to get views. Tell them like you're okay with this. Are you okay with it? Hell yeah, that's right.
Best day of my life right here.
Homeless people don't care if I use them for views.
See the sign?
Oh, and he did it. So I don't know if you guys can see that person right there, but he's about to get $1,000. We get to see a behind-the-scenes That means Jimmy right now getting naked. Can you quit saying my real name? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to dox you, mate. How's it going? Yeah, I know you can see my friends, sorry about that. Um, what's your situation? What happened?
I lost my job, lost a place to stay.
Oh, whoops, sorry about that. How long ago?
About 5 months ago.
So, I'm, I mean, as you can tell, I'm a YouTuber, and so I'll just go ahead and— so you are actually homeless, right? You're not— please think you swear you're not like pretending. All right, well then I'm filming a video where I give homeless people $1,000. I'm not joking. So you can see he's my cameraman. Yeah, so, um, what do you think you'll spend it on? Just real quick so they know.
Well, I asked him what I'll do with this. It's probably get a place to stay for a little while.
All right, and can you just promise me you won't spend it on anything bad like alcohol? Like seriously, like promise?
I promise you I don't do that.
I smoke cigarettes and I might spend a little bit on Okay, as long as it's just cigarettes. All right, all right, I'm glad I could help. So, uh, do you need a ride or anything while we're here, or are you good? Me, it is recording now. All right, you're good. All right, so Chris doesn't know why I told him to hit record, but part of the thing I'm gonna do is— copyrighted music— is I wanted to give him $200 for being the cameraman and stuff. Bruh, you did not have to do that, bro. It's because, guys, say, say, everyone comment, I love you, Chris. God, man, this man's helped me out a lot in my life. You're a saint. And he makes fun of my shoes, so now we're gonna make fun of his. Comment how ugly his shoes are. Same shoes, bro. Hey, is that your car? Oh, I accidentally hit it. Um, like, when I opened my— but this $100 should cover it. I just— when I— are you serious? Yeah, like, right here on the side, when I open my door, I hit your car. I'm— what? I'm sorry. Oh, did you see our cameraman? Yeah, I'm filming a video. Just kidding, I'm just Oh my God, give me away random money. Are you confused? Random people, $100 if they just say like and subscribe to MrBeast. If you could just— MrBeast. All you have to do is say like and subscribe to MrBeast. Just say it real quick.
Like and subscribe to MrBeast.
Now you have to say it.
Like and subscribe to MrBeast.
Thank you. That was pretty easy.
Dude, are you serious? Yeah. Heck yeah, that's my rent. What are we doing this for?
Nah, just for fun. Are you serious? Say good things about MrBeast. Tell them—
Dude, he's the best. What else do you want us to say?
Whatever, just tell them to watch all my videos and—
Watch all of his videos. He's the greatest YouTuber out there.
All right, so the next thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna order a cheese pizza and tip the guy $500. So I don't know if you can see, but the pizza delivery guy just arrived. So I'm gonna set you guys up right here.
Focus.
Where is it at? Sorry about that. Um, I just want to do something nice, so you can keep the change.
Are you serious?
Yeah, it's about $500. Are you sure you want to do this? Yeah, don't worry about it.
Can you afford this?
Oh, yeah. No, it's no problem. I'm just— Thank you. I don't know.
That's awkward.
Every time you do this, why do you keep doing this? Chris has a fetish for recording me when I put on my mic.
I do.
Look at that sexy mic clip there. Oh, we might see a little MrBeast chest hair. All right, let's go. Um, yeah, so where does the money from this go?
Well, we have a—
so does everything going goes to homeless?
Then I have a team ministry that we do also, you know, that we have the young guys, some guys, uh, ex-gang.
All right, well then, uh, I hope it's not— this is all I have. Hopefully it's enough.
God bless you.
So I hope you do good with it. Thank you. Yeah, I'm sure you saw the camera. Yeah, I'm a YouTuber. And God bless you. So can you just clarify for them that this is about $900? Okay, so full disclosure or disclaimer, whatever it is, I know this person, this last guy that I'm going to give money to. I'll let him tell you his story or just like, you know, don't— Just like, I mean, explain to him. He knows Chris, and so like he— go ahead, I guess. Uh, well, my parents made a couple bad decisions and it led to losing cars and houses, and it went from going to house to house to getting kind of back on my own feet. So yeah, and so he was homeless, and so he lives with, you know, my roommate Chris and all So I don't want people to like get mad because like faking it or giving money to people I know, like, here you go. I do, full disclaimer, know him, but he does need the money and he was homeless at one point. So, um, yeah, he already flipped out earlier, so now we're just kind of recording it. Uh, definitely not giving away money for views and to make money. I'm doing this because I love people. He's only doing it because he cares about people. Totally. All right, later boys. All right, and anime to the league.
