This is the text (if you need help).

MrBeast, the most-followed YouTuber, has made more than $250,000 from a video he uploaded to X. MrBeast wanted to test how much money he could make on X. He compared his earnings on X to what his videos make on YouTube. His video currently has around 157 million views. That number is rising. The video is called "$1 Car vs $100,000,000 Car". MrBeast said advertisers saw the many visits his video was getting and bought ads on it. He told his 26.6 million followers on X that he would give the $250,000 away. Twelve lucky followers will each receive $20,000.

MrBeast's real name is James Stephen Donaldson. At high school, he became interested in finding out how YouTube videos become so popular. He wanted to know why they went viral. He told a magazine that for five years, he was obsessed with studying YouTube's algorithm. He said: "I woke up, I would Uber Eats food, and then I would sit on my computer all day just studying [stuff] nonstop." MrBeast is now a very successful businessman, environmentalist, influencer and online personality. He has won many awards for his videos and for his charity work.
