Mr Beast uses the revenue he got from YouTube views and donates them. Which he then videos and create more revenue. Not a bad business model if you ask me. He wasn't even rich to begin with. His assets and wealth all started from YouTube.

    For companies, it's free PR. "Mr Beast donates thousands of turkeys for thanksgiving!" - all of the them brought to you by [company], because they really care about you, for realsies!

    And, according to some videos, most of his challenges are setup for a specific person to win.
