    He says his money goes into content production and charity work, not luxury living Kenya is among several countries listed in his upcoming travel schedule The YouTuber has previously funded major projects in Kenyan communities His announcement comes as IShowSpeed’s Africa tour draws attention in Kenya MrBeast Adds Kenya to His Travel Plans American YouTube star and philanthropist Jimmy Donaldson, widely known as MrBeast, has announced that Kenya is one of the countries he plans to visit soon. The revelation was made during a recent online interview with fellow content creator JasonTheWeen. Speaking on Friday, January 9, 2026, MrBeast opened up about his lifestyle, how he uses his wealth, and why travel plays a big role in his work. “I Don’t Spend on Luxury,” Says MrBeast When asked what he enjoys most about being wealthy, the world’s most-followed YouTuber said expensive living is not important to him. Instead, he explained that most of his money is put back into his work. According to MrBeast, his biggest expenses include building content studios, funding large video projects, and giving money to people in need. He noted that cars, mansions, and other luxury items do not fit into his busy routine. Always on the Move for Projects MrBeast explained that he spends very little time at home due to constant travel. His work takes him across different continents as he plans, films, and manages various projects. During the interview, he mentioned Kenya among several destinations he intends to visit, alongside Ghana, Dubai, Mexico, and countries in South America. He added that owning costly property makes little sense to him, saying he rarely stays in one place long enough to enjoy it. Charity Work Tied Closely to His Content MrBeast said his success allows him to fund humanitarian efforts across the world. He uses his platform to highlight real challenges while providing practical support to communities. Africa has been a key focus of his outreach, with Kenya benefiting from several initiatives backed by his team over the years. A Familiar Face in Kenya This will not be MrBeast’s first visit to Kenya. In 2023, he toured parts of the country while working on a large water project across Africa. During that period, he helped build dozens of wells and dams, supported schools with supplies, and funded infrastructure projects. He later returned in April 2025, focusing on Narok County, where his team supported school feeding programmes, provided desks, drilled boreholes, and backed local farming efforts. MrBeast Visit Comes as Speed Shakes Up Kenya MrBeast’s announcement comes at a time when Kenya is already in the global spotlight due to American streamer IShowSpeed’s Africa tour. Speed recently caused excitement online after livestreaming his Nairobi visit. President William Ruto also welcomed Speed through a video message, describing Kenya as a home for visitors and promoting the country’s tourism appeal. Who Is IShowSpeed? IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr., is currently on a 28-day tour across 20 African countries under the banner “Speed Does Africa.” He is the most-watched English-speaking livestreamer globally. The YouTube star has more than 48 million subscribers and holds the record for the highest live viewership by an English-speaking streamer. From Bedroom Streams to Global Fame Speed began streaming in 2020 while still a teenager in Cincinnati, Ohio. His loud, energetic style and unpredictable reactions quickly attracted viewers. By 2023, he had taken his content worldwide, recording viral livestreams across Asia, Europe, and South America, before shifting his focus to Africa. Bans, Records, and Big Personalities Before his YouTube rise, Speed streamed on Twitch but was banned in 2021. He was later reinstated after strong support from fellow creators and direct appeals to Twitch leadership. He now ranks among top global streamers, alongside Kai Cenat, Ninja, and popular Spanish creators such as Ibai Llanos and Rubius. Speed’s Athletic Image and Bold Claims Known for his high-energy persona, Speed often shows off his athletic side. He once raced Olympic champion Noah Lyles and narrowly lost. In a 2024 interview, he claimed he could compete at the 2028 Olympics if given enough training time. Ronaldo Superfan on a Mission Speed is also a passionate supporter of football star Cristiano Ronaldo. He has Ronaldo’s image tattooed on his arm and regularly performs the famous “Siuuu” celebration during his streams. Africa Tour Continues So far, Speed has visited South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and Kenya. His remaining stops include Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, Ghana, Senegal, and several other African nations. With MrBeast now confirming another Kenya visit, global digital stars continue to place the country firmly on the international content map
