YouTube star MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has gifted $10,000 (approximately ₹ 9.5 lakh) to Maya Gupta, an Indian woman from Gujarat who spent a year trying to meet him while helping people in her local community.
Gupta finally met the YouTuber on Day 365 of her challenge, bringing an end to a year-long mission that she documented on social media. He then handed Gupta $10,000 to support her community work. I wanted to give her a present, he added. Gupta indicated that she intended to share the money rather than keep it all for herself and continue helping others. Throughout the year, she documented her work to feed people in her local community. As the days passed, her mission attracted an online following, with viewers keeping track of her progress. Following the meeting, social media users congratulated Gupta on completing her year-long challenge and praised MrBeast for recognising her community work.
During the meeting, MrBeast said that he had noticed her efforts to feed people in her community and wanted to recognise her work. “This is Maya, who’s been feeding her local community for the past year and tagging me in all her videos,” he said in a video shared on Instagram.
“I saw all the good she’s done for her community over the last year.
