YouTuber MrBeast awarded a $10,000 cash prize to a TikTok creator whose viral joke suggested she followed him “just in case” he offered a reward.
The woman, posting as @jiafeis_left_puthylipfan, went viral in early October 2025 after sharing a video with an on-screen caption saying she followed MrBeast because it “seemed smart” in case he ever gave out a prize.

MrBeast had deposited $10,000 into her account, continuing his trend of giving out large cash rewards.
The woman’s video resonated with many online users, who commented on and tagged MrBeast in the post.
Viewers labeled the stunt “inhumane” and “evil,” accusing MrBeast of doing anything for views. The creator, however, assured the audience that strict safety precautions were in place throughout the stunt.

This continued his pattern of surprising people with enormous cash prizes, which he is very popular for. On his YouTube channel, MrBeast has given away houses, cars, and cash rewards to random people after they complete a challenge.
A lot of people appreciate his generosity, where he helps people who are in need of it, but sometimes, the challenges are subjected to criticism.
One of his most recent stunts last month drew controversy when he asked a man to be trapped in a burning room for 25 minutes. If he completed the challenge, the man would be awarded half a million dollars.
