A video circulating online has stunned fans after showing YouTube megastar MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) apparently being arrested and placed in the back of a police car. With over 200 million subscribers and a reputation for jaw-dropping giveaways, the sight of him behind bars immediately sparked speculation and rumors across social media.

The footage, captured from what appears to be a police dashcam or bodycam, shows an officer driving with MrBeast sitting in the backseat. Text across the video claims, “MrBeast gets arrested and put into jail.” A captioned quote from Jimmy reads: “I have a lot of people.”
The short clip quickly gained millions of views, fueling debate among fans—was this real, a stunt, or part of one of MrBeast’s famous viral challenges?
