MrBeast has revealed that before he met his current partner, he put 40 different girls through "the test".

The most-followed YouTuber in the world with 145 million subscribers - whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson - is known for his grand stunts and acts of kindness.

As he is one of the richest and most popular streamers on the planet, finding a romantic partner may be quite difficult for him due to his busy schedule.

Last year, the 24-year-old appeared on the Flagrant podcast and admitted to hosts Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh that he's pretty fussy when it comes to dating.

Watch MrBeast on the podcast below: 

Donaldson told Schulz and Singh that he met his current girlfriend, Thea Booysen, while he was having dinner with a friend in South Africa.

Recalling the moment she walked in, he said: "I was like holy s**t this girl is beautiful. But I have to go through the test," explaining that when he meets someone, he has to put them "through these tests, because like, I don't, I don't really get along with women".

"There's just certain things where if you have these traits we'll get along really well, and if you don't, it's impossible for us to hang out... So I had to put her through the wringer and start asking questions," he continued to elaborate.

The YouTuber shared that he questioned her on her hobbies, to "get a feel" for her interests and whether she enjoyed learning - which is a massive factor for him in relationships.

Fortunately for him, Booysen "checked all the boxes," as she revealed to him that she is an author and was doing a neuroscience degree "just for fun" because her current business succeeded.

MrBeast said that if he connects with a woman that's "beautiful" and has "these 10 traits," they will be sure to get along and even become "best friends".

He also disclosed to the hosts that Booysen wasn't the first woman he'd "put through the wringer," adding: "This was probably the 40th different girl I had talked to since my ex."

As previously stated, MrBeast uses his social media platforms to share videos of generous acts. However, recently he was slammed by users after he tipped a waitress a brand-new car that was covered in his own branding.

In the video posted on March 27, Donaldson was seen sitting at a restaurant and speaking to his server named Amy. He asked her what the "biggest tip" she ever received was and she revealed that it was $50.

The YouTuber 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 stunned server questioned whether the social media star was serious so he took her outside and unveiled to her a 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. But, Amy was still awe-struck by the sweet act.

The TikTok - which amassed a staggering 76.8 million views - sparked outrage on the internet with many people accusing him of turning Amy's present into an advertisement.

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

Watch MrBeast's response below:

In the video, MrBeast tells the waitress: "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 answer, Donaldson clapped his hands together and said: "All right! I agree," with the clip concluding with Amy telling him: "I think I'm gonna keep it."

However, he assured viewers in the caption that he "ended up taking the logo off anyways".
