YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has responded to a fan who asked him to pay them based on how many days they have been subscribed to his channel.

Known for his large-scale challenges and high-value giveaways, MrBeast has built a reputation for generosity since his early days on the platform, when he would give money to friends and fellow creators.

His content has since evolved to include elaborate competitions where participants can win cash or prizes by completing tasks or surviving endurance tests.

The exchange began when a fan on X (formerly Twitter) shared that they had been subscribed to MrBeast’s YouTube channel for 2,843 days and asked, “Hey MrBeast, I been subscribed for 2,843 days! Can I get $2,843?” The creator simply replied, “Sure.”

The light-hearted interaction quickly went viral, with other fans joining in and sharing how long they had been subscribers.

One commented, “2,537 days for me 😀 Am I getting something?” while another joked, “I’ve been subscribed since Bitcoin first came out, can I get 1 Bitcoin?”

While MrBeast is known for spontaneous acts of generosity, he has previously acknowledged that his company, Beast Industries, maintains a ‘Jimmy Fund’ to cover unplanned giveaways.

Earlier this year, he also gifted $10,000 to a TikTok user who admitted she had followed him only in hopes of receiving money.

Fans have used the trend to highlight their long-term loyalty to the YouTuber, though it’s clear MrBeast won’t be paying every subscriber who makes a similar request.
