MrBeast has explained what will happen to his YouTube channel after his death.

While it's not the cheeriest of subject matters, the 26-year-old content creator has a 'crazy' plan in place.

His MrBeast channel is the most-subscribed to on the platform, boasting 381 million supporters.

It's reported the US YouTuber - real name Jimmy Donaldson - makes $3m a year (around £2.29m) from the channel alone.

On a recent episode of Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast, he shared details of how he'll preserve his YouTube legacy.

Joined by KSI, the trio were discussing Mukbang YouTuber Nikocado Avocado's recent stunt.

The Ukrainian-born YouTuber revealed he'd lost 250lb in a secret weight loss journey while uploading old videos to mask his progress.

Addressing Donaldson, KSI admitted: "I feel like that’s something you would do," to which Donaldson replied: “Well, I did…I did do that for when I die."

He continued: "I have a bunch of videos pre-filmed so my channel can keep uploading.”

He revealed he has a catalogue of 15 videos ready to be published by his team after his death.

But all were filmed when he was 'much younger,' he admitted, adding they could do with being 're-filmed' before they go live.

Donaldson explained: “Certain people in my company know where to find these videos on my old computer. Just upload these once a month so it’s like I’m still alive.

"They’re like, pretty garbage videos. One of them is me sitting at a table opening old fan mail.”

He continued: “In the videos, I made jokes like ‘I’m probably in a coffin right now just chilling, don’t feel bad for me, I’m dead.”

Donaldson joked the first of his pre-filmed videos would be titled ‘My Last Video'. A month later, he'd upload another as a surprise, until all the backlog is used up.

The North Carolina-based star first began uploading YouTube videos in 2012 under the username MrBeast6000. He went viral five years later in 2017 for his 'counting to 100,000' video.

He is now known for his high-end production challenge videos and generous giveaways.

His most-viewed video on the platform is '$456,000 Squid Game In Real Life!,' boasts 656 million views.

The 25-minute-long competition video is based on the Netflix hit series of the same name.

It featured the show's iconic mini-tasks and was uploaded in November 2021, two months after the series premiered.
