A whole village for his team
Lots of views allowing him to afford the property he wants. According to the New York Post newspaper, Jimmy Donaldson bought his neighbors’ houses one by one to house his team. Information he has from Aaron Bowden, the previous owner of the house in Greenville, North Carolina (USA) bought by MrBeast. The most visited personality on YouTube explains to him that he wants to buy all the houses in the village for his employees. Something he’s being forced into bit by bit as some residents still refuse to leave Greenville:
I understand that the people who resist are for the same reasons as everyone else – these are the best school districts around and they have kids in the school. I don’t know because I’m not in their place, but maybe when their kids finish high school and go to college, they’ll change their minds.
In any case, MrBeast applies his philanthropic philosophy off Youtube by becoming a condo owner for his team. Which saves them, for example, the travel expenses to his studio. It is also located in Greenville.
