Who is MrBeast and why does he have so many YouTube subscribers?
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast online, is an American YouTube personality, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, who has recently become only the second creator to reach 100 million subscribers. The 24-year-old pioneered a content genre focusing on expensive stunts, challenges and donations. The more popular he gets, the more money he gives away. The YouTube star documented his live reaction to hitting the milestone on a YouTube stream, where he thanked everyone for their support. "I appreciate every single one of you that watches the videos. This is literally all I've ever done with my life," he said, adding, "All I do is wake up every day and obsess over how to make the best videos possible. It's all I care about. It's the only thing that's ever really made me happy." He also tweeted a celebratory message on Twitter to express his gratitude, saying, "I'm grateful I get to do this all day everyday," adding in a separate post: "No matter how big I get I'll never own a mansion, yacht, Lamborghini etc. All I want is to make the best videos possible and help as many people as I can while doing it." The viral sensation has also shared a clip which saw him pay for cataract removal for 1,000 people who could not afford surgery to cure their blindness. His YouTube video saw MrBeast work with ophthalmologist and surgeon Jeff Levenson, who runs the Gift of Sight program in Florida, helping people by providing free cataract surgery to people who need it most. Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "I don’t understand why curable blindness is a thing. Why don’t governments step in and help? "Even if you’re thinking purely from a financial standpoint it’s hard to see how they don’t roi on taxes from people being able to work again." But where did it all begin?

Kendall Jenner trolled by Khloe Kardashian with blunt comment about horse photoshoot
Kendall Jenner has been trolled by her older half-sister Khloe Kardashian after she released her new photoshoot for Stella McCartney's fashion range which featured the American model in her birthday suit on a horse. The 27-year-old supermodel is the face of McCartney's 2023 winter campaign in a racy shoot shot by shot by photographer Harley Weir in the Camargue Salt Flats of France. All of the images involve horses, all owned by the famous horse whisperer JeanFrancoisPignon, including one where Jenner lounges on her back on top of the horse wearing nothing but a pair of knee-high boots. The reality TV star shared a post on her Instagram hyping the campaign adding: "A special day with @stellamccartney shot by @harleyweir. "#JeanFrancoisPignon and his horses were nothing short of amazing. I felt so happy and calm all day. Thank you for this experience Stella." The photos have since gone viral with Jenner's post receiving more than one million likes. However, not everyone was impressed. Jenner's sister Khloe swiped in with a brutal dig at the supermodel. The 39-year-old wrote "AI monster" in the comments of the post clearly unable to compute how her half-sister is even real. In another comment, she also simply wrote: "s**t." Thankfully, Khloe did have something nice to say to her younger sibling. In a third comment she wrote: "Wow! Wow! Wow! You’re so f**king perfect!!!!" Nice to know that even when the Kardashians are complimenting each other they can still throw in the odd swear word. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
