In a groundbreaking moment for digital philanthropy, YouTube icon MrBeast joined forces with popular streamers Adin Ross and xQc to host a charity livestream that raised over $12 million in just 17 hours for TeamWater.
The event shattered the Guinness World Record previously held by Z Event in 2021, which had collected $11.97 million across three days. The trio’s achievement has set a new gold standard for online charity fundraising.
The livestream drew attention from high-profile donors, including Airbnb’s CEO with $500,000 and the B Love CEO with $1.5 million. In a standout moment, influencer Sophie Rain pledged $1 million, making her the single largest individual donor of the event.
All proceeds will support TeamWater’s clean drinking water projects, bringing safe and sustainable water access to millions worldwide.
With their record-breaking campaign, MrBeast, Adin Ross, and xQc have not only written history but also demonstrated the growing power of online communities to tackle real-world challenges.
