YouTuber and philanthropist MrBeast has been quietly buying up properties in a neighbourhood in Greenville, North Carolina for his employees. MrBeast, who real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has built a huge online following beginning his career by sharing gaming content. Now the 25-year-old has 151 million subscribers and regularly shares content of him using and sharing his massive wealth of $54 million to help others, including spending $3 million for 1,000 people in the deaf community to get hearing aids.

MrBeast purchased the first house on the street in 2018 for around $320,000. Despite his wealth, it appears the YouTuber has shunned the luxury Hollywood lifestyle he could easily afford, living a more modest lifestyle in his North Carolina home. According to the New York Post, there is just one house on the street that MrBeast doesn’t own, with neighbours potentially attributing it to the fact that the resident’s children have not yet finished school. Aaron Bowden, who sold his house to MrBeast last year, explained: “My understanding is the folks who are holding out is similar to any reason why anyone would have held out — its the best school districts in the area, and they have kids in school.” He continued: “I wouldn’t know anything for a fact because I don’t walk in their shoes, but they may change their minds when their kids are out of high school and off to college.” Bowden had lived in his home since 2016 and said he negotiated with the YouTuber, explaining: “We negotiated back and forth and it had to be worth my while. And he wasn’t gonna buy it if it wasn’t worth his while.” MrBeast’s former neighbour also explained that he had made it known it was his intention to move his family and employees into the homes he was purchasing.

Kim Kardashian is GQ's 'Man of the Year' cover star for 2023, but some fans have been left confused over the decision. Each year the magazine selected individuals to receive awards at its highly anticipated awards night. This year Priscilla actor Jacob Elordi and fashion designer Tom Ford are part of those being honoured. Another honouree is Kim Kardashian, and fans are divided after the announcement. In her cover photo, the Skims founder is wearing an 80s-esque suit whilst eating a bag of Cheetos. Many seemingly have an issue with Kim being the cover star for the 2023 Men of the Year issue. "Kim Kardashian is your Man of the Year??? Be serious for a damn second", wrote one user on Twitter/X. "When you didn't understand the assignment", wrote another. "I'm sorry but did you just say 'man' ????? That is a [woman]." A third added: Some appeared to be quite angry over the decision. With one user arguing to was a "dunking on men" and that they will "never purchase Skims." However, many loved the photoshoot and spoke about how Kim's launch of Skims Men and the brand's partnership with the NBA were "the biggest disruptors of the mens garment industry this year." And is likely the main reason behind her gracing the cover of GQ. "Everyday I find a new reason why Kim Kardashian is really that girl... this woman does everything", wrote another fan. It seems like the Kardashians are getting bigger every year, who knows what award Kim will win next. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
