Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson is well known for his massive giveaways on YouTube, which have totaled over $1 million so far. One of his most viral video formulas is giving away cars to his subscribers, friends, and charity. So just how many cars has MrBeast given away at this point? The estimated total is now over 100 cars across numerous videos.
Let‘s take a closer look at some of his biggest car giveaway campaigns and how it‘s helped grow his channel and fortune.
Overview of Car Giveaways
MrBeast has built a brand around over-the-top challenges and prizes. Cars are one of the most common prizes you‘ll see in his videos. He has given away everything from cheap beaters to exotic supercars worth six figures.
Based on a manual count of his giveaway videos, I estimate the total number of cars he has given away is now over 100 (and counting).
The types of cars gifted range widely:
- Old used cars worth just a couple thousand dollars
- New economy cars like Toyota Camrys to Kia Souls
- Luxury cars like BMWs, Mercedes, Cadillacs
- Sports cars and supercars like Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis
While MrBeast does not actually own all these cars, he obtains them through partnerships with dealerships and rental companies. The partnerships provide the cars at discounted rates or for free in exchange for the promotion.
Some of his most notable big ticket car giveaways include:
- Lamborghini Aventador – Estimated value $500,000
- 40 Car Giveaway – Estimated value $4 million
- 50 Cars to Veterans – Estimated value $2 million
Let‘s take a closer look at some of these epic car giveaways.
I Gave My 40,000,000th Subscriber 40 Cars
When MrBeast crossed 40 million YouTube subscribers in 2021, he decided to go big with his celebration giveaway. The resulting video titled "I Gave My 40,000,000th Subscriber 40 Cars" quickly went viral.
In the video, MrBeast surprises his 40 millionth subscriber named Zach with not just one car, but 40 cars worth a combined $4 million. The collection included:
- 10 cheap used cars like Ford Tauruses and Chevy Impalas valued between $2k-$5k each
- 10 mid-range cars like Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys valued around $15k each
- 10 premium cars like BMWs and Audis valued around $40k each
- 10 luxury cars like Cadillacs, Porsches, and Mercedes valued from $60k to $250k each
The grand finale was a brand new $500,000 Lamborghini Aventador given to Zach and his wife Nikki. They were brought to tears over the incredible surprise.
MrBeast also gave away money and new phones to some of Zach‘s family and friends to share the wealth.
The full 40 car giveaway was valued around $4 million. Since publishing in April 2021, the video has earned over 205 million views.
50 Cars Given to Military Veterans
In December 2020, MrBeast teamed up with the Gary Sinise Foundation to give away 50 cars to military veterans and their families.
The cars were all provided by comedian Jerry Seinfeld who donated them from his famous car collection. They included vintage Corvettes, Mustangs, and other classic American cars.
In total, the 50 car giveaway was estimated to be worth over $2 million. The resulting video titled "I Bought 50 Cars For People Who Need Them" has earned over 48 million views so far.
MrBeast expressed his immense respect for those who served, and wanted to give back during the holidays. The lucky recipients were incredibly grateful, with the cars helping many of them get back on their feet.
Buying Out a Car Dealership
In one of his most grandiose videos yet, MrBeast bought an entire car dealership and gave every car away.
The video titled "I Bought Every Car at This Dealership" was published in December 2021. In it, MrBeast visits Performance Automotive Group, a car dealership in North Carolina.
MrBeast cut a deal to buy out their entire 105 car inventory, which was worth a combined $12 million. He then gave the cars away to random people including subscribers, locals, and families in need.
The collection included economy cars, SUVs, luxury vehicles, and sports cars from brands like Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche. Even the owner‘s personal Hummer H1 was given away.
Once again, the viral video earned tens of millions of views quickly thanks to the huge scale of the giveaway.
Why So Many Car Giveaways?
You might be wondering, why does MrBeast giveaway so many cars? There‘s actually some smart business strategy behind it.
These massive car giveaways help in several ways:
-
Viral attention – The exciting videos earn insane view counts, helping Beast gain subscribers and notoriety. The 40 car video alone earned him over 160,000,000 views.
-
Ad revenue – The high view counts generate millions in ad dollars, which MrBeast reinvests into more videos.
-
Partnerships – Corporate sponsorships with car dealerships help subsidize giveaway costs in exchange for promotion.
-
Engagement – Fans love participating in the crazy challenges for a chance at big prizes like luxury cars.
-
Philanthropy – Certain giveaways also help people in need and charities, building MrBeast‘s brand image.
While cars are costly upfront, the benefits appear to outweigh the costs in the long run as MrBeast‘s empire continues growing. His estimated net worth is now over $50 million at just 24 years old.
More Car Giveaways Likely on the Way
If you couldn‘t tell already, MrBeast seems to really love giving away cars! Each video seems to be bigger than the last.
Given his trajectory so far, I would expect even more spectacular car giveaways in the future as MrBeast‘s fame and fortune grows.
He has given away over 100 cars already, but that number is likely to keep climbing over the coming years. And the value of the giveaways will likely escalate as well.
His creativity and generosity have allowed MrBeast to stand out in the YouTube landscape. His car giveaway videos are now some of the most anticipated content fans look forward to.
We may even see things like luxury car giveaways at key subscriber milestones, like giving away 100 cars when he hits 100 million subscribers. The possibilities are endless.
