MrBeast gives away $500,000 in cash, cars, and prizes to random people in a single day. Most of the money comes from brand deals with companies like Quidd and Honey, not his own pocket. He explains how sponsor funding lets him make these giveaways while keeping the channel sustainable.

People who need $1,000, so—
Can I give you a hug?
Yeah, man. Well then, I'm filming a video where I give homeless people $1,000. I wanted to give him $200 for being the cameraman and stuff.

We have this man's address. He was our 4 millionth subscriber. We have 4 million cookies and we're going to give it to him. I wanted you to have a cookie for every subscriber. Can I buy these cookies off you? Do you think $4,000 would be good enough?
No way! What? MrBeast, what the hell?
That was a weird time to donate.
I appreciate— screw respecting women, I am here to appreciate when you appreciate me, darn it. Uh, thank you so much. I appreciate and respect you.
Hashtag nice guy.
8 mails. Um, sure.
I don't know, do we keep going?
Where did that come from? I like your headset. What are you doing? I don't think you understand. I really like that headset. Just dropping another $100. No, I don't like money.
You confused me.
A donation. $100?
What?
You made it way too easy with the $1,000. Another $1,000 donation. I'm trying to play the game. MrBeast with another $500 donation. Is that all you got, bitch? So many things. Just some shit, I don't know. Oh my God, I can take you on as well, Chucky. This can't be real. Chucky, I can't. No, I really can't right now. I want the victory. It was a fun battle, Chuck. One of the hardest wars I've ever fought. Night, Chuck. Let's do this again sometime. What's your Twitter? I'll follow you. I could use a followed you, Chuck. Let's conquer the world.
You might have noticed the montage stopped at like $460,000, and that's because because not every time I do something good, I put it on camera. Like when I bought my little sister a car, you know, of course I'm not gonna use her as clickbait. And like tons of other stuff, you know, the point is like not every time I do something good, I put it online. And for those of you wondering where a teenager comes up with half a million dollars, because today is actually my birthday, I just turned 20, so everything you just watched, I was a teenager while doing it, giving away all that money. The truth is most of the money came from brand deals. Essentially companies give you money, and in return you just put a 60-second, sometimes 90-second little ad in your video to drive traffic to their app or whatever they're doing. And then in return they give you $10,000, or if you're pulling lots of views, literally 5 figures, like tens of thousands of dollars just for a little plug-in in a video, which is actually really crazy when you think of it. So in my case, I'm just the dumb YouTuber making videos. One day Kwitt calls me, they're like, yo, we'll give you 10 grand for a video, you know, just mention our app. I was like, that's a lot of money. I was like, what if I gave it to a homeless person? They're like, yeah, that'd be really cool. And 10 of those videos were sponsored by Quidd. Thank you so much, Quidd. Like, without Quidd, I wouldn't have been able to make all those videos and been able to change that many lives. Like, Quidd, I'd fist bump you. You guys should download Quidd. It's actually a really cool app. One of the videos was sponsored by Honey, and then one of the videos was sponsored by Epic Games. Between those 3 companies, they are the ones who sponsored all those videos. Well, not all the videos, but most of them. Like, when I gave my 3 million subscriber 3 million pennies, that was 30 $20,000, that wasn't sponsored. I don't know, I just didn't feel like having a, you know, spot ad in the video. And when I, you know, gave $20,000 homeless shelters, that wasn't sponsored because, yeah, there's a lot of them that weren't sponsored. The point I'm trying to make is not all half a million dollars came from sponsors, but a good chunk of it did. And a really big chunk of it came from Quid. I mean, they did 10 videos, whereas only 2 were sponsored by other people. So just huge shout out to Quid. Like, I wouldn't you know, like, I think only like $100,000 of it, maybe something like that, came out of my pocket. You know, the rest came from sponsors. I really appreciate you guys over at Quidd because I genuinely enjoy helping people. It's something I've always kind of had an issue with, almost. Like, I'm that much of a nice guy to the point where, like, I mean, I see a homeless guy, I give them all the money in my wallet, and then, like, when I get to where I'm going, I can't buy stuff because I give it to homeless people. Like, I don't know why, right? And I'm not saying this to make myself look good, but I've just always been a really nice guy. I just have, because I'm gonna be honest, I could have just like done those brand deals and instead of giving it away, I literally could have just put it in my pocket. Like, nothing would have stopped me. But, uh, just helping people's fun, and that's something I don't think a lot of people realize. Like, helping people is fun. Like, you don't have to just think of it like, oh well, if I give away money, that's money that's not in my pocket. It's just like, you know, just like you spend money on entertainment, giving away money is just as entertaining to me. Like, I sometimes would rather like give $20 to a homeless guy than like, you know, spend $20 on some form of entertainment because it's just as enjoyable to me. I don't know if that sounds selfish, but it is like helping people doesn't always have to be boring, if that makes sense. Like, I try to be creative in the ways I help people in my videos, which just kind of like makes it where like helping people is actually fun. The only job I've ever worked is YouTube. So yeah, it sounds so scummy. I almost— I hate plugging things. It really does sound scummy. But like, if you do want to allow me to help more people, right here, shopmrbeast.com. Go buy some merch. We just dropped this shirt that says, "I did it all for the cookie," yada yada. I know people are gonna be like, "Wow, you're plugging your merch, you're so selfish."
