Mr. Beast Just Broke a World Record By Raising $12 Million for Charity in 17 Hours on a Livestream, Including $1 Million From Sophie Rain

I probably should have included the other people who were on the charity stream with Mr. Beast in my title (Adin Ross and xQc). But I've found Barstool Sports readers really don't like it when you blog about any streamer at all, let alone putting three of them in the headline of a single blog. This whole Team Water charity was started by Mr. Beast, but shoutout to those guys whose fan bases helped raise the money as well. 

Also, shoutout to the many, many people who donated money to Mr. Beast's charity. People like OnlyFans star Sophie Rain.

I'm going to say something bold here. Possibly controversial. And this might be a fucking insane thing to say. But I would have sex with Sophie Rain. No, wait, not that. What I meant to say is, what if Mr. Beast is actually just a good guy who means well and wants to use his platform to help people, while also getting rich as fuck himself? And that's all it is. Like he doesn't have any crazy ulterior motives, and he didn't build his entire platform because dangling money over poor people heads is a weird kink of his.

Maybe Mr. Beast just does that type of content, and has people do embarrassing or taxing things for money, because if he adds an entertaining gameshow element like, "If you can stay in this windowless room for 100 days you get $500,000", then that video will get more traction, he'll gain more fans, he'll make more money, and he'll be able to help even more people in the long run. 

And since he does those types of videos that apparently SO MANY people love to watch, he's able to hop on a livestream with two other popular streamers and set the Guinness World Record for most money raised for charity on a livestream. $12 million in 17 hours for his Team Water charity. 

And again, while he does all that, he gets rich as fuck for himself. But like, what is he supposed to do? Not be a billionaire? Just give away half his money and putz around with $500M? The man still has to eat dinner. Sorry I'm not trying to get into any wild conspiracies here. I'm just throwing out possibilities. I don't follow Mr. Beast in the slightest outside of what randomly makes it on my timeline (which I suppose is actually kind of a lot at this point, so I guess I do follow him a little bit). But pretty much everything I see him do involves him giving away a good deal of money. I just think it's a possibility that Mr. Beast is not a deeply evil and depraved super villain. 

On the other hand, if he truly isn't gearing up to be the world's next great super villain, then why does his face look like this?

Milo makes a pretty good point. I've certainly never trusted a man with that exact face before. I'd go as far as to call it pretty punchable. And what the FUCK happened with the giraffe?

Mr. Beastiality is more like it. (just kidding I don't think he had sex with a giraffe. I don't know how that would be possible)

I wonder if Mr. Beast had built his following in a way where he didn't give away any of his money at all, if people would still have those theories about him. Probably not. There's something about a guy who always putting out to the public, "Look at all these people I'm helping!", that makes you think.. well what's the real reason you're doing that? And when you have as much money as he does, it's impossible to give away any amount of money and not have people say, "Well you could have given away more."

He also turned down $5,000,000 from the CEO of a gambling company, but Mr. Beast turned it down because he doesn't do gambling. Idk if it was a morality thing or a contract thing, but he sure could have bought A LOT of clean water with that money. 

I don't think it's possible to be that rich and not be a bit of a selfish prick. And I'm sure that Mr. Beast does "get off" on being able to tweet shit like this.

I mean, who wouldn't? You saw how much all of us at Barstool shoved Dave helping small businesses during COVID down the throats of anybody who tried to talk shit about us. But even if all the people Mr. Beast gives money to are just ends to mean for him, as far as crazy rich billionaires go, I feel like he's doing better than most. There's probably something to be said that.

I'm gonna be so fucking pissed I wrote this blog when the news of Mr. Beast's child trafficking ring drops next week.
