Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has revealed the insane amount of money his line of Feastables chocolate bars lost during a 10-minute long giveaway the creator held over on Twitter.
MrBeast, one of YouTube’s most popular creators, has his hands in just about every category you can imagine, from philanthropy to insane YouTube videos to his own ghost kitchen.
He announced his own chocolate company, Feastables, on January 30, 2022, with a Willy Wonka style golden ticket prize system. Just a few weeks later, the creator ran a 10-minute long giveaway on Twitter that crashed the entire website.
Now, Donaldson has revealed the amount of money the company lost during the giveaway — and it’s not a small number.
MrBeast reveals how much Feastables lost
MrBeast ran the giveaway via Twitter on April 15, announcing a 10-minute window where fans could use the promo code ‘free’ on their order to receive chocolate at no cost.
The giveaway instantly crashed the website, and the company had to send an advisory to those who ordered. In the email, they revealed that due to MrBeast’s tweet they gave away over one million bars of chocolate and may have to adjust larger orders — assuring everyone that they will receive a package.

“I guess 10 minutes is longer than I thought.”
