MrBeast
A TikTok user who tagged MrBeast after her car broke down has received a brand new replacement from the YouTube star.
The creator, Riley, posted a video showing her red SUV after its engine failed, explaining that the vehicle was likely a total loss before making one last attempt to get help.
The on-screen text read: “So our engine just broke. This car is probably a total loss. @MrBeast help? my last resort”
MrBeast noticed the video and replied in the comments, “Just DM’d you!”

Not long after reaching out, MrBeast posted a video confirming he had already purchased Riley a replacement vehicle.
“Riley, I just walked out of the car dealership with your brand new car. I saw your TikTok, and I felt really bad that, you know, your car broke down,” he said. “So this car is currently being loaded up on this truck, which will deliver it wherever you are in the world.”
“So just follow me back, DM me your address, and the car will literally go your way starting tonight.”
The video showed the new car being loaded onto a transport truck before it was set to be shipped to Riley.
At the time of writing, Riley’s video has around 200,000 views despite being online for more than 17 hours after MrBeast posted his response, suggesting it had attracted only a relatively small audience when he first discovered it.
It only took a few hours for MrBeast to see Riley’s video and buy the car, too, as her plea for help was uploaded just five hours before his response.

The giveaway comes just weeks after MrBeast became the first individual creator to surpass 500 million YouTube subscribers.
Reflecting on the milestone, Jimmy Donaldson said he was more focused on making videos people enjoy than subscriber counts, while also crediting viewers for making his large scale giveaways and charitable projects possible.
