An ICON because...
Unless you've lived under a rock, we bet you've stumbled upon MrBeast's incredibly successful channels. You might have seen that time he recreated the popular Korean TV show Squid Game in real life (his most popular video yet, which amassed a whopping 634,246,454 views as of date), or when he tried a huge slice of pizza.
What is certain is that MrBeast (real name James "Jimmy" Donaldso) has taken content creation to a whole new level.
Born in Greenville, California, the philanthropist and entrepreneur posted his first video when he was 13 and has been rocking it ever since. His popularity skyrocketed, and he's now the most-subscribed channel on YouTube.
To this day MrBeast has opened four other channels, he founded a food brand, Feastables, and assembled the final boss of all veggie burgers.
He even smashed a record on Threads with his very first post on the Meta-owned platform.
