The world’s top YouTuber has landed in Australia, where on Tuesday he will offer a sold-out event in front of thousands of enthusiasts in front of the Sydney Opera House.
American internet star James Donaldson, known as MrBeast, will give away 10 cars to fans, in addition to a Lamborghini, a Tesla and a Scooby-Doo pickup truck.
Its arrival in the Netherlands caused quite a stir among enthusiasts who rushed to get single tickets for the event, which were purchased minutes after its launch at 7 a. m. on Tuesday morning.
On the Opera’s website, enthusiasts were encouraged to purchase a product of Donaldson’s Feastables candy bar logo to win a prize.
MrBeast kicks off on Tuesday at 2pm in front of around 4,000 enthusiasts in front of the iconic Sydney Opera House, where the lucky Australian winners will be featured in a video.
With 289 million subscribers, MrBeast holds the crown for the most subscribers on YouTube and is known for his elaborate videos, which include a large-scale recreation of challenging situations from Netflix’s Squid Game and Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, complete with a river of chocolate.
Ahead of his donation, Donaldson filmed a promotional video outside the opera house on Sunday in which he revealed some of the prices reserved for his fans, who are growing on YouTube at a rate of about five million a week.
The 26-year-old from Kansas has an estimated net worth of around $500 million and is known only for his jokes and antics, but also for his entrepreneurial and philanthropic initiatives.
Donaldson has donated millions of dollars to charity, built water wells in Africa, planted millions of trees and disposed of about 30 million pounds of ocean trash.
In his own words, he also counted up to 100,000 people, watched the paint dry, ran a marathon in the world’s biggest shoes, and followed each and every dog from a shelter.
NSW Police will be present at the event and will conduct bag searches and electronic checks at the access site.
MrBeast invited fans to join him in modeling his Feastables lineup, listening to music, and getting a chance to meet him in person.
