MrBeast is about as big as it gets for YouTube thanks to crazy stunts and over-the-top giveaways. We take a look at the cars MrBeast has given away throughout his rise to the streaming top.
Could you survive 100 days in a circle for $500,000 or be the last to leave a pool of Ramen Noodles for $20,000? Or what would it be like to spend 50 hours buried alive or to go around a Ferris wheel 1,000 times? Sounds bizarre, but it’s real life for YouTuber and philanthropist Jimmy Donaldson. Better known as MrBeast, twenty-four-year-old Donaldson is one of the top paid creators on YouTube, has over 138 million subscribers, and has donated millions to charity.
Can you Count to 1 million Subscribers, MrBeast?
Hailing from Greenville, NC, MrBeast began posting on YouTube at the age of 13 under the handle MrBeast6000 with his videos centering mostly around gaming and talk of YouTuber wealth and secrets.
It wasn’t until 2017 that MrBeast went viral with his “I Counted to 100,000” video that featured him—you guessed it—counting to 100,000. This peculiar feat took him 44 hours to complete and was a catalyst to similar stunts—like watching Jake Paul’s “It’s Everyday Bro” music video for 10 hours straight—that led him to amassing over one million subscribers by November 2017.
MrBeast’s videos have evolved since the early days to uber-expensive, hours-long stunts, philanthropic efforts, and “last-person-to-leave” challenges that have resulted in him giving away millions of dollars in cash or prizes.
More Than a YouTuber
Other than MrBeast, Donaldson runs four other YouTube channels: Beast Philanthropy, MrBeast 2, MrBeast Gaming, and Beast Reacts. He is also the founder of Feastables and MrBeast Burger, and a co-creator of Team Seas and Team Trees, fundraisers for The Ocean Cleanup and the Arbor Day Foundation, that have raised over $63 million combined.
We do love a good car giveaway – The Price is Right: Dream Car Week comes to mind—and today we’re taking a look at the top cars that have been given away on the MrBeast channel. From brand new Lamborghinis to used sedans, MrBeast has surprised many subscribers and total strangers with this generous and often timely gift through his outlandish challenges and unconventional methods that get him all the likes.
Lamborghini Gallardo
If you’ve only heard one thing about MrBeast it probably has something to do with a Lamborghini. That’s because he’s given away several of the Italian sports cars, either through his “last to remove hand” challenges, gifting to Uber customers, or making it the prize in a Lamborghini race. We covered several models in our Top 10 Lamborghinis of All Time, but the Gallardo seems to be one of Donaldson’s favorites as it’s in his own personal car collection.
First introduced in 2004, the Gallardo was the first to feature Lamborghini’s new V10 engine and was touted as an “everyday supercar” becoming the automaker’s entry-level offering. Gallardos were built in various engine specs as well as Coupe (Base) and Spyder versions. Production lasted until 2014 and the Gallardo became Lamborghini’s bestselling model of all time with over 14,000 units sold.
Tesla Model 3
Also in Donaldson’s own garage and a favorite to give away is the Tesla Model 3. The Model 3 came to the market in 2017 and was marketed as a more affordable EV option. There are three choices in the Model 3 lineup: a base rear-wheel drive (RWD) and two all-wheel drive versions—the Long Range and Performance.
A new base RWD model can be yours for around $44K. On a full charge it has an estimated range of 272 miles and can go from 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds. Tesla is constantly updating and improving the Model 3 and it remains one of the best EVs on the market.
Porsche 911 Turbo
We saw a Porsche 911 Turbo given away in “I Gave My 40,000,000th Subscriber 40 Cars.” The 911 Turbo is Porsche’s mid-tier sports car. A new model starts at around $184K and comes with a twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six engine that makes 572 horsepower and can go from 0-60 mph in just 2.6 seconds.
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Also given away in the 40 cars for his 40,000,000th subscriber was a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee is a mid-size SUV that melds luxury and off-road capabilities. A new entry-level model will set you back around $43K. It has two rows of seats, a towing capacity of 6,200 pounds, and is powered by a 293-hp, 3.6-liter V-6. The Grand Cherokee is also available with a plug-in hybrid 4xe powertrain.
Lincoln MKZ
In the episode, “Destroying My Friend’s Car and Surprising Him With A New One,” MrBeast did indeed destroy a car, but he didn’t just refer his friend to The Best YouTube Car Restoration Channels out there. Instead, he gave his friend a Lincoln MKZ.
If that’s not redemption, then I don’t know what is! This mid-size luxury sedan was produced from 2006 to 2020 and came with an optional 350 horsepower twin-turbo V-6 engine as well as a hybrid option. The MKZ offers a comfortable ride with many desirable features and options.
Chevy Tahoe
In another episode MrBeast decided to destroy another friend’s car. This time he replaced the wreckage with a Chevy Tahoe. The Tahoe is a full-sized SUV that has been around since 1994 and offers plenty of space for passengers and cargo with lots of trim options to suit a range of budgets. Three engine options are available on the Tahoe including a six-cylinder diesel, with a towing capacity of up to 8,400 pounds.
Jeep Patriot
Our next car was purchased by MrBeast with pennies. Yes, that’s right, wheelbarrows full of pennies bought a Jeep Patriot that Donaldson then gave to his stepdad. The Patriot is a compact crossover SUV that Jeep produced from 2006 to 2017. Its boxy styling will remind you of the classic Jeep, but with only four-cylinder engine options the Patriot is the puniest of the Jeep crossover lineup. There is the Freedom Drive II Off Road package that helps the Patriot live up to its Jeep name.
Nissan Sentra
MrBeast became an Uber driver for a day and gifted his passengers with the car he picked them up with. One of his lucky passengers received a Nissan Sentra. Now in its eighth generation, the Sentra is Nissan’s compact car and is one of the cheapest cars you can buy today. With its 149-horsepower four-cylinder engine the Sentra isn’t the most exciting drive out there but its looks far surpass its price point, and with loads of standard features and comfortable front seats it is a budget buy worth considering.
Chevrolet Traverse
A Chevrolet Traverse was one of many cars given away at the MrBeast Free Car Dealership. In this episode, Donaldson purchased an entire used car lot and gave the cars away to unsuspecting customers. The Traverse is Chevy’s full-size crossover SUV that has been in production since 2008. Offering three rows of seating, the Traverse offers plenty of room for passengers and cargo and its 3.6-liter V-6 engine gets the job done with very little effort.
Toyota Venza
A Toyota Venza was also given away at the MrBeast Free Car Dealership. The Venza is Toyota’s mid-size crossover SUV that has been around since 2009. It comes with a standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain with three electric motors. While it falls short in passenger space compared to its rivals, the Venza has smart, upscale styling that puts it a notch above.
