MrBeast is well known for his lavish generosity but one man might well have been more grateful for the advice he received from the YouTuber.
The video creator, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has established himself as one of the biggest names on the video streaming site thanks to some incredibly outlandish videos over the years.
Since starting out as a teenager who was willing to count to incredibly high numbers, MrBeast has become a billionaire, even launching his own chocolate bars and an Amazon Prime version of the Netflix series Squid Game.
Although some of his videos have faced a little criticism, particularly after trapping a man in a burning house to try and win some money, he's also done some great work for the planet by planting millions of trees and working to clean up our oceans.

And love him or hate him, the creator always delivers on his promises, as one fortunate man found out in back in 2021 when the YouTuber handed over a pair of keys to a Lamborghini Gallardo, with no strings attached.
After his NDA from the video expired, the man has taken to Reddit to share how the exchange changed his life, while also crediting the 27-year-old for the urgent advice he gave him just moments after the cameras stopped rolling.
In the video, MrBeast spent a day as an Uber driver and surprised users by turning up in fancy vehicles, only to hand over the keys at their destination.
“While I eventually figured out that it was actually MrBeast, he turned off a few hidden cameras I didn’t even notice (first time in a car this expensive), [and] he told me to sell it as soon as he signed it over to me,” he explained.
That was some sound advice as it turns out that the man would have had to pay a luxury tax of $6,000 on the car shortly after all the documents were signed.
Unless he was willing to shell out that fee within 60 days, alongside other insurance premiums, the best financial option would be to sell the car and pick up something more family friendly.
And that's exactly what he ended up doing, cashing in for the impressive total of $95,000 before buying himself a Honda Civic instead, while treating himself to some spending sprees before investing the rest of the money in his future.
So while his ownership of the Lamborghini was a brief experience, it certainly turned into a beneficial one for the man, thanks to the generosity and sound advice of MrBeast.
Here's hoping the YouTuber starts handing out free stuff on the streets of England one day, and you happen to be in the right place at the right time.
