Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson received some high praise from one of YouTube’s bosses after hitting a major milestone in his career and breaking a record on the video-sharing platform.
It seems like the sky’s the limit when it comes to Donaldson’s future in entertainment — something that the CEO of YouTube himself, Neal Mohan, referenced in a congratulatory message to the influencer on July 11.
“I’d say congrats on 300M subs, but by the time I tweet this, you may already be at 400M,” he joked in a post on Twitter/X.

At the time of writing, MrBeast has yet to publicly acknowledge Mohan’s tweet, but it’s safe to say that he’s blown away by his own success on YouTube, judging by his posts on the topic.

MrBeast’s career has seen some amazing highs over the years, and he’s now set to host his very own game show, ‘Beast Games,’ on Amazon Prime Videoto the tune of a $100 million deal.
On top of his viral videos, MrBeast has taken advantage of his profitable ventures to start his very own charity, where he’spaid for people’s cataract surgeries,cochlear implants,and evenbuilt houses for unhoused citizens in Jamaica.

That’s not all; he’s even got his eyes on the Oval Office, claiming that he’s game torun for President of the United Statesif the powers that be lower the age limit necessary to enter the office.
“If I were President, I wouldn’t care about party lines. I’d just always truly make the American people my #1 priority,” he claimed. “…Anyways, we can pick this up in 15 years when I’m old enough to run, haha.”
If we lower the age to run for president I’ll jump in the race
For now, MrBeast will have to satisfy himself with his upcoming TV show and making even more viral content until he reaches 400 million subscribers some time in the future.
