In a recent post on his own Instagram page, MrBeast announced that he would be celebrating his 25th birthday, which was on May 7, 2023, by giving away $10,000 each to five different people. MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has made the rules behind this challenge fairly straightforward. All you need to do to be entered to win the prize is share his post to your story and tag someone in the comments.

"It’s my birthday, so I’m giving away $50,000 to 5 followers! ($10,000 each!)," he wrote in the post. "All you have to do is share this to your story and tag someone in the comments! Also, if you don’t follow me I can’t dm you the money if you win. Winners will be picked in 72 hours, will show proof!"

So, if you're wondering why everyone is posting him, that's the reason.

The post currently has more than 20 million comments, suggesting that whoever actually wins the cash prize is going to be quite lucky.

This isn't the first time that MrBeast has done a giveaway. He has built his entire brand on these kinds of stunts, but this one is more straightforward than most of the things that he makes the subjects of his videos do.
