MrBeast is one of the most famous YouTubers in the world. His 300-plus million subscribers are the reason for his fame, so everything the guy does is placed on a pedestal. He found that out real quick.
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is the biggest creator on YouTube and the most subscribed creator, with 345 million subscribers on the platform. He also owns a few other channels, including gaming and philanthropy channels.
Jimmy’s videos are some of the most insane videos anyone will ever see. He spends millions of dollars on sets, production, and even prize money to create a competitive environment.
However, it’s very possible that the YouTuber lost everything in a house robbery a couple of years back after investing all of his money into the insanely popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
MrBeast Reveals That He Almost Lost His Entire Life Savings During A Robbery
In an interview, Jimmy explained that he was robbed a while back, and the robber had gone and stolen a ton of his belongings. One of the mentioned belongings was his laptop, which he used to keep track of his Bitcoin.
MrBeast said that he had left his private key on a sticky note on the laptop and, therefore, was in tears as he anxiously logged on to the Bitcoin site he used to check the status of his coin. He went to the site and saw that the perpetrator had not spent anything, so Jimmy changed his key.
“F*cking idiot,” Jimmy said, referring to the robber who had about $2 million at his fingertips after grabbing a hold of the YouTuber’s laptop. After hearing the story, the odds are that over 300 million people are happy that the robber messed up.
