YouTube’s biggest star, MrBeast, revealed an extraordinary plan for what would happen to his channel in the event of his untimely death on the popular Logan Paul‘s ‘Impaulsive‘ podcast.
Known for his outlandish challenges and philanthropic giveaways, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, disclosed that he has already pre-recorded content designed to keep his channel active even after he’s gone.
Appearing alongside fellow YouTuber KSI, the 26-year-old opened up about his strategy on keeping the channel alive after death, he explained that he has filmed around 15 videos ready to be uploaded after his death.
“I probably should re-film them. I was probably like, 21, 22. But I filmed videos. I have 15 like just really easy videos to film. So if I die, my channel can keep uploading,” Mr Beast said.
MrBeast explained the mechanics behind his plan. “Certain people in my company know my old computer where to find these videos,” he said, “And then I was just like, ‘Yeah, just upload these once a month.’”
But for fans who might expect the same grand spectacles that have made him the most-subscribed YouTuber in the world, MrBeast had a sobering reality check. “They are pretty garbage videos,” he said with a laugh. “One of them is just me sitting at a table, opening old fan mail. I don’t even know what it was.”
He went on to describe the tone of these posthumous clips. Hinting at what he said in those videos, Mr Beast said, “I’m probably in a coffin right now, just chilling. Don’t feel bad for me, I’m dead.”
The content creator also hinted at how his final releases would keep surprising his audience. After his “last video,” MrBeast said that a follow-up would drop the following month, keeping viewers hooked long after his passing.
His channel, which boasts an astounding 318 million subscribers, began in 2012 when he started uploading videos under the username MrBeast6000. Today, he is known for high-stakes challenges, philanthropy, and record-breaking stunts.
MrBeast recently made headlines with Beast Games, a venture that, amidst swirling controversy and a class action lawsuit, has broken over 40 world records.
