MrBeast's next video faces test: can it clear 40M views in week one?
# of views of MrBeast video week 1?
Polymarket prices this <40M at 80%. The market is more confident than the current reporting.
MrBeast — the YouTube channel of Jimmy Donaldson, the most-subscribed individual creator on the platform — is expected to post a new video before a July 31 deadline, and the question is whether it draws fewer than 40 million views in its first seven days. Tubefilter recently flagged MrBeast among the week's top branded videos, and a separate report noted Amgen's appearance in a new MrBeast production, suggesting his next upload may already be in circulation. Traders put the odds of a sub-40M outcome at 80%, a level that has climbed steadily over the tracking period, though the branded-content reporting implies his videos continue to command major sponsorships and large audiences. The market resolves based on the views counter on MrBeast's YouTube channel for the next full video posted after the market's creation, excluding Shorts and previews.
Background
Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, operates YouTube's most-subscribed channel, with a longstanding formula of high-budget stunts, giveaways, and brand integrations that routinely generates tens of millions of views per upload within days. The specific proposition being tracked is whether his next video lands below 40 million views in its first week. Recent coverage places him in the news for both branded-content deals and his marriage to longtime partner Thea Booysen, with The Sunday Guardian surveying his net worth. The resolution window closes if no qualifying video appears by July 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET, in which case the market resolves to the lowest range bracket.
The precedent
- MrBeast became the most-subscribed individual YouTube channel in 2022, surpassing PewDiePie, and has since maintained that position.
- MrBeast's most-watched videos, including 'I Spent 50 Hours In Solitary Confinement' and '$456,000 Squid Game In Real Life,' have each surpassed 300 million total views.

What to watch
The next full-length video posted to the MrBeast YouTube channel after the market's creation is the trigger.

Watch for Donaldson's typical upload cadence and whether any Amgen-branded content surfaces as the referenced video.
