YouTuber MrBeast has divided people on social media after sharing a TikTok video in which he claimed to "tip" a waitress a brand-new car.

The most-followed YouTuber in the world with 139 million subscribers - whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson - is known for his extravagant stunts and shared footage of his latest act of kindness.

In a clip posted to the video-sharing platform on March 27, MrBeast appeared to be sitting at a restaurant speaking to his server named Amy - according to a caption on the post.

"What's the biggest tip you've ever gotten?", he asked her, to which Amy revealed to him that it was around $50.

"Has anyone ever tipped a car?", Donaldson continued to ask before he handed the clearly stunned waitress a set of keys to a black Toyota sedan.

The server became skeptical and questioned whether the social media star was serious. At this point, he took her outside and unveiled to her a brand spanking new vehicle that he said was her "brand new car".

However, the car appeared to feature the word "Feastables" written on it - the name of Donaldson's chocolate brand - and the logo for his main YouTube channel also appeared on the car's hood.

Nevertheless, Amy appeared to tear up at the kind gesture and put her hand over her face. The YouTuber then said in response: "Oh wow, I wasn't expecting you to cry."

"I was literally late to work today because the Uber was slow," the waitress remarked as she got into the vehicle with Donaldson. "I'm in such shock right now. I don’t even know how to drive."

The video received a staggering 57.1 million views on the social media platform and was captioned: "Amy’s been getting to work without a car for months, thanks to you we changed that :-)"

Many users flooded the TikTok comment section with praise for the YouTuber and his astonishing tip, with one person penning: "Normal thing for someone like Mr. Beast."

A second user exclaimed: "You are the best!"

A third person added: "This guy just out here just putting faith back in humanity."

However over on Twitter, Mr.Beast faced criticism from people who claimed that the waitress' prize acts as a promotion for his brand and his chocolate line.

One user wrote: "So basically she has to do promotion for his company by driving the car. He also is getting a big tax write-off from this. But she gets a new(ish) car (with detailing [?]) instead of ubering. Oh, she has to pay for gas and insurance too."

Another interjected: "Don't get me wrong this is a nice thing but I wouldn’t love driving around a Feastables branded car. Maybe it was just for the video."

A third commented: "If Mr. Beast offered me a car plastered with his ugly corporate logo I would drive it directly into the side of a police station."

Donaldson has become well-known for his elaborate videos where he gives away large sums of money. Last year, he donated at least $3.2 million - as well as a $2.5 million jet and a private island - in challenge prizes, according to the YouTube videos he posted, per Insider.

His generous acts are often supported but in January, he defended himself against complaints over a controversial clip in which he paid for 1,000 people to have sight-restoring cataract surgery due to worries that patients were turning to a social media star to solve a medical problem.

He responded to the backlash, writing: "Twitter - Rich people should help others with their money. Me - Okay, I'll use my money to help people and I promise to give away all my money before I die. Every single penny. Twitter - MrBeast bad."

The tweet garnered 784.3K likes, with many people and prominent influencers sharing messages of support to YouTuber for his charitable efforts.

MrBeast has responded to the criticism he received after he tipped a waitress a brand new car that was covered in brand deals.

The most-followed YouTuber in the world with 139 million subscribers - whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson - is known for his large-scale acts of kindness.

On March 27, MrBeast took to TikTok to post a video of himself sitting at a restaurant and speaking to his server named Amy.

"What's the biggest tip you've ever gotten?" he asked the waitress, to which she revealed to him that it was around $50. He then asked her if she's ever been tipped a car and proceeded to hand her a set of keys to a black Toyota sedan.

The clearly stunned server was skeptical and questioned whether the social media star was serious. So, he took her outside and unveiled to her a brand spanking new vehicle that he said was hers entirely.

However, the car appeared to feature the word "Feastables" written on it - the name of Donaldson's chocolate brand - and the logo for his main YouTube channel also appeared on the car's hood.

However, Amy became emotional at the heartwarming gesture and put her hand over her face. The YouTuber then said in response: "Oh wow, I wasn't expecting you to cry," to which she remarked: "I'm in such shock right now. I don’t even know how to drive."

The TikTok received a staggering 68.1 million views on the social media platform and was captioned: "Amy’s been getting to work without a car for months, thanks to you we changed that :-)"

Despite the lovely action, MrBeast was slammed by viewers who accused him of turning Amy's present into an advertisement, with one person writing: "Just saying, if you're gonna give someone a used car, make sure you take off any extra things off of it so it doesn't looking I'm driving a giant ad. He could have at least gotten it repainted."

Another user said: "Cmon the fact he gave her a car that’s a giant, ugly advertisement for his products is ridiculous."

A third commented: "There's a f***ing Feastables ad slapped on it, so I'd be mad. doesn't seem like it's from the bottom of a charitable heart if it still comes down to selling your brand!"

Eventually, the YouTube star responded to the backlash on social media by sharing an unseen clip from that same day.

In the video, MrBeast tells Amy: "Enjoy the car! You can get rid of the logo too," but she responded: "It's kinda cool! It's kinda giving a little bit, isn't it?"

Happy with her response, Donaldson claps his hands together and says: "All right! I agree," with the clip concluding with the waitress telling him: "I think I'm gonna keep it."

However, the world's most followed YouTuber assured viewers in the caption that he "ended up taking the logo off anyways".

MrBeast has revealed what he plans to do with his YouTube channel when he passes away.

The famed YouTuber may only be 25 years old, but he's got a lot to think about should he unexpectedly kick the bucket.

MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) has been posting videos to YouTube since early 2012 - when he was just 13 years old. Since then, he has gone on to become the most-followed individual on the platform with 250 million subscribers, surpassing former record holder PewDiePie back in 2022.

Beast has become insanely popular on the video-sharing platform thanks to his stunts that often involve him giving away huge amounts of money and/or expensive luxury prizes.

For example, there was the time when he put 100 people in a large circle and gave the last person to remain in the circle $500,000. And who could forget the time he gave away an entire island worth $800,000!?

Therefore, it is only fitting that something as lucrative as his YouTube channel be given the same sort of treatment.

Speaking on the FLAGRANT podcast earlier this year, Beast revealed what will happen "the second he dies".

For his final video, the YouTuber revealed that his three friends - Carl, Chandler, and Chris (and maybe Nolan, but that's currently undecided) - will take part in one final challenge in a bid to become the new owner of the MrBeast YouTube channel.

Check out the clip below:

"They'll put their hand on my Tombstone [and the] last to take it off gets the channel," Beast revealed. "Everything. 100 percent, everything."

Due to the extravagant nature of his other endurance challenges, it is unsurprising that this is how Beast would want to bow out to the world.

"That is happening, mark my words," Beast added. "I don't even know if I've really said it publicly. I tweeted it one time, but I'm serious I don't give a ⁠— how much you guys cry, right [his friends should] put their hands on the tombstone and give the channel to whoever wins okay?"

Addressing his dedicated fans, Beast then said: "And don't bully them for it they're just doing what I want."

I think one person nailed it perfectly when they wrote in the comments section: "Even when he dies he still makes banger content."

MrBeast has explained why his mother is helping to pay for his wedding, despite being a billionaire.

Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has become YouTube royalty by giving away life-changing sums of money in wildly viral challenges.

From having friends do stunts for stacks of cash to featuring celebrities and fellow creators, his videos routinely top the trending charts — and rack up insane production costs.

Speaking on Steven Bartlett’s A Diary of a CEO podcast, MrBeast revealed a surprising detail when asked if he’s reached the billionaire milestone.

“On paper? Yeah, but in my actual bank account, I have less than a million dollars,” he told Bartlett.

Even with a jaw-dropping valuation and massive influence, MrBeast’s approach to money is all about reinvestment.

And it’s that mindset that has him temporarily tapping into the Bank of Mom for his upcoming wedding to fiancée Thea Booysen.

When Dexerto shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) calling him “the only billionaire under 30 to have not inherited his wealth,” MrBeast responded with a humble, and slightly hilarious, confession.

“I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think this year we’ll spend around a quarter of a billion on content),” he wrote.

“Ironically, I’m actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol. But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot.”

While some might cringe at spending their entire fortune on YouTube videos, MrBeast is playing the long game.

He admitted to losing “tens of millions” trying to bring his ambitious Beast Games series to life for Amazon Prime.

But he’s not calling it a loss—he sees it as an investment. MrBeast is now planning to raise “hundreds of millions” in funding to continue scaling his growing business empire.

According to Bloomberg, as reported by Dexerto, MrBeast’s total valuation clocks in at around $5 billion.

One of MrBeast's most recent videos was his own "Beast Games", which promised that the winner would receive $10 million.

Jeffrey Randall Allen, now known to millions as Player 831, took the top spot on the massive Amazon Prime reality series created by MrBeast.

The show gathered 1,000 contestants from all walks of life to battle it out in a Squid Game-inspired spectacle for an eye-watering prize.

After outlasting 999 other hopefuls, including fellow finalist Twana Barnett, Allen walked away with the $10 million prize. But while the number is staggering, it didn’t come tax-free.

Speaking on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, Allen revealed: “I literally got $10 million wired to me. So, it's up to me to do state taxes.”

And that’s no small task. Allen estimated that without a strategic approach, he could owe around $5 million in taxes.

YouTuber MrBeast has spoken up about how draining the world of content creation can get.

The most-followed YouTuber in the world with 179 million subscribers - whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson - has become one of the leading creators in digital entertainment.

The 25-year-old became well-known for his elaborate videos where he shares acts of kindness such as donating millions in challenge prizes, tipping a waitress an extravagant gift like a car, or helping '1,000 deaf people hear for the first time'.

However, despite all the success he has garnered from his grand stunts and philanthropic initiatives, the social media star took to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Saturday (August 26) to open up about how creating content has taken a toll on his mental health.

Referring to his jam-packed schedule and resulting exhaustion, the streamer posted: "In order to upload weekly videos later this year I’ve been filming every single day (and only have a couple days off filming between now and end of year) and I’m dying mentally.

"I hope you guys love these videos when they go up, I’m pushing myself to the max to get them done," he added.

Upon seeing his post, a multitude of users on X shared their concerns regarding the YouTuber's mental well-being. One person wrote: "Hang in there! I can only imagine how exhausting it must be to film every single day. Your dedication to providing us with weekly videos is truly admirable.

"I'm sure all your hard work will pay off, and we will definitely appreciate and love these videos when they are uploaded. Take care of yourself and remember to prioritize your mental well-being too!" they added.

Another said: "This man needs a break. Otherwise he won't be in tip-top shape for his future videos and more importantly, for his physical and mental health. Take a break Jimmy, we will be fine if need be."

A third commented: "Do you man, but take could breaks so you don’t get burnt out! We love you man, don’t leave us cause of doing so much all the sudden. You’ve got time buddy."

Outside of his videos, Donaldson is also known for his business ventures. He has a licensed charity which is a food bank set up to feed communities across the US, and has also helped millions of dollars to help the environment. Additionally, he has also launched a range of snacks called Feastables.

YouTuber Steven Bridges told the BBC that Donaldson's success is due to his creativity, stating: "I think the interesting thing about MrBeast is his absolute dedication to making what he considers the best video possible.

"When he uploads, people click. They know that when they click on a MrBeast video, there's going to be a heck of a lot of effort gone into making it really entertaining," Bridges added.

That is correct as earlier this month, the popular internet star took to X to announce that his video titled "7 Days Stranded At Sea" received the highest number of views in 24 hours for a non-music video. The footage featured Donaldson and his four friends surviving on a raft for a week.

"New video broke the world record for most views in 24 hours on a non music video!" Donaldson penned. "I’m living the life I would dream of every night when I was 13.. I love all of you and thank you so much for watching our videos!!! I’ll never take you all for granted."

However, due to his latest post, fans are hoping MrBeast might slow down a bit soon, to give himself a well-earned break.
