Mr. Beast, best known for his stunt videos such as “I Spent 50 Hours in Solitary Confinement” and “I Put 100 Million Orbeez in My Friend’s Backyard,” has raised over $10 million for #TeamSeas, an organization whose mission is to clean up trash from the world’s oceans, rivers, and beaches. Their goal is to remove 30 million pounds of trash from the sea by the end of the year. This is Mr. Beast’s second fundraising campaign; he created and raised over $23 million with #TeamTrees and has planted over 9 million trees and counting.
