According
to a report published by CNN Indonesia on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at 04:59
WIB, the broadcast generated about US$12 million, equal to roughly Rp194.7
billion.
The
fundraising stream lasted for 18 hours on the TeamWater platform, where MrBeast
collaborated with fellow streamers Adin Ross and xQc.
This
broadcast, which marked the first episode of Beast Games, officially began on
Thursday, August 15, 2025.
The
initial fundraising target was set at US$5 million.
Once
MrBeast, Adin Ross, and xQc reached that goal, the trio decided to continue
streaming into the morning of Friday, August 15, 2025.
By
extending the broadcast, the three streamers succeeded in collecting a historic
total of US$12 million, the highest amount ever raised in a single stream.
MrBeast
explained that this money would secure long-term access to clean water for
hundreds of thousands of people.
Streamer
Adin Ross publicly thanked the audience, noting that even contributions of
US$10 from individual viewers added up to make a major impact.
MrBeast
has built his global reputation as a billionaire content creator known for
extraordinary challenge videos, which have been viewed almost 9 billion times.
Among
MrBeast’s most famous stunts are spending seven days inside a cave and living
for 100 days in a bunker to win US$500,000.
He
has also engaged in unusual experiments such as taking a lie detector test on
camera to entertain his massive online audience.
Beyond
YouTube, MrBeast maintains an enormous following on other platforms, including
over 119 million TikTok followers, making him one of the most influential
digital creators worldwide.
During
the livestream, several prominent donors—including Be LOVE Electrolyte,
finnbags, Kick.com’s Ed Craven, Bijan Tehrani, influencer Sophie Rain, and
Trainwreckstv—each contributed at least US$1 million, while figures such as
Dana White, Michael Rubin, Brian Chesky, Gary Vee, Scooter Braun, and Casey
Wasserman also made substantial donations.
Throughout
the 18-hour broadcast, the hosts entertained viewers with quirky segments,
including being covered in snakes, listening to a mariachi band, taking a lie
detector test, participating in oil wrestling, playing basketball, getting
haircuts, taking live calls, and negotiating boundaries with each other to help
reach their fundraising goal.
Investopedia
has estimated MrBeast’s net worth at around US$1 billion.
The
same report highlighted that MrBeast earns approximately US$50 million each
month through his YouTube channel and related business ventures.
STANCE:
During
the widely shared segment, OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain made headlines by
donating an extraordinary $1 million live on stream. Her gesture, and her
response to critics — some calling the funds “dirty money,” while Sophie Rain
emphasized the real-world impact — sparked intense debate across social media.

BACKGROUND:
Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson’s groundbreaking charity
livestream in 2025 was not an isolated event but the outcome of years of
shaping a unique blend of entertainment and large-scale philanthropy. Rising to
fame in 2017 with viral stunts, MrBeast transformed digital content by
combining extreme challenges with purposeful giving, later spearheading global
campaigns like TeamTrees, TeamSeas, and Beast Philanthropy to address
reforestation, ocean pollution, and hunger. By this time, MrBeast had become
one of the most influential digital figures in the world, with more than 423
million YouTube subscribers and approximately 119 million TikTok followers,
ranking as the third most-followed individual on the platform. This immense
reach allowed him to attract global audiences and mobilize millions of dollars
for causes that mattered. The 2025 livestream, branded under TeamWater,
extended this legacy by raising record-breaking funds for clean water projects,
supported by major streaming personalities such as Adin Ross and xQc. What made
the event remarkable was how it exemplified the evolution of online
influence—from viral experiments to transformative initiatives that directly
confront global challenges like access to safe drinking water.
