 Jimmy Donaldson is the everyday civilian name of the social media titan and influencer. Most of us probably know best as Mr. Beast. He's a content creator whose YouTube channel has exploded in popularity over the past few years largely off the back of a series of very expensive, not to mention creative stunts. Hard as it may be to believe now while Mr. Beast comes from some very humble beginnings having been raised primarily in a suburban household in Greenville, North Carolina. Today he's worth over an estimated $100 million but he's still living in a relatively modest home in the same general area as to where he grew up. Before we go a little deeper into exploring Mr. Beast's actual house, I want to provide you all with some context as to where this home is located because Mr. Beast didn't just buy any old house in any old neighborhood. He bought himself a house in an area of a town that he's been slowly purchasing for years. That's right, on an unassuming cul-de-sac just southeast of Greenville, North Carolina while Mr. Beast has been scooping up one home after another for himself and his family and his employees. According to the New York Post, while Jimmy's house buying endeavor, it began with the purchase of his own unit for a paltry $320,000 back in 2018. Over the next handful of years, while Jimmy would continue to discreetly add to his real estate portfolio, bringing his current grand total of properties located on the street to $5,000. According to records, he bought the second home in 2020 for $263,000, followed by an additional three other properties, all of which were bought off-market, for a combined total of $1.45 million. Of those individuals who sold their home to Mr. Beast is a man named Aaron Bowden. Aaron came to an agreement with Jimmy in 2022 and told the New York Post, We negotiated back and forth and it had to be worth my while, and he wasn't going to buy if it wasn't worth his while. And after securing five homes, Jimmy still has one last property left to buy on the street. But according to Aaron, while it's rather unlikely Mr. Beast will be able to add this property to his growing collection, because the children who live there have yet to complete their education at the nearby school. Aaron continued to the New York Post, It's the best school district in the area and they have kids in school. I wouldn't know anything for a fact because I don't walk in their shoes, but they may change their minds when their kids are out of high school and off to college. In terms of the here and now while it has been confirmed by Jimmy's representation, that his residents in this neighborhood will become his home base for this foreseeable future. Now, whenever he's not busy traveling for work or shooting out of his studio nearby, that is. So why don't we take a closer look at what's inside Mr. Beast's new home? In 2022, a lone variety reported that Mr. Beast, he earned an estimated 54 million. He then used a not insubstantial amount of that money to buy a head full of suburban properties. But here's the surprising thing. They're all kind of mid, especially Jimmy's. Following a burglary in his previous home, well, Jimmy bought his two story four bedroom, four bathroom property that occupies nearly 3000 square feet back in 2018. Now, inside the house, it boats the kitchen that features newly installed granite countertops along with a breakfast bar, kitchen table and a pantry. There's also a nearby family room that comes complete with a gas log fireplace as well as huge windows that allow for plenty of natural light. Now elsewhere on that same level is the primary suite, which includes an ensuite bathroom with a double vanity, as well as a whirlpool tub and a shower. Meanwhile, up top on the second floor, where you'll discover the other three bedrooms, they're corresponding on suites, as well as a laundry room and an extra space that can be converted into an office or a den. Now outdoors, well, the place is modest, but far from spectacular. No amenities. They're said to include a screened in rear porch, a patio, a basketball court and even a separate storage building for all those props and collectibles. Mr. Beast has no doubt accumulated over the years. Now, once Jimmy had completed the purchase of this home, we began quietly buying up the surrounding properties. Now, some of the people he bought from had lived in this neighborhood for their entire lives. Others had been there for just about a year, but the three families that capitalized by selling their home for a combined 1.45 million, well, they have now all retired to the beach or elsewhere in the surrounding area. None of them seem to be too displeased over what happened either. Now, others, however, well, they've had more of a mixed reaction when they found out about Mr. Beast going full Mr. Rogers and starting his very own neighborhood. Now, once the wider world at large found out about Mr. Beast brand new town, many of them had thoughts. Now, some praised the content creator's generosity, not to mention his genius, carving out his own little corner of the planet to share with the people closest to him. Others, though, they accused him of starting a company town. Now, for those of you unfamiliar with the term, well, a company town is a place where residential and retail property is all owned by the employer of the people who live there. Now, this is criticism that Elon Musk has faced with the recently proposed towns he's building for his Tesla and SpaceX employees, which is located out in Texas. Now, these types of settlements, they've popped up over the years, generally in the coal, steel, and lumber industries. And historically speaking, well, they've been found to repress an employee, you know, like the working conditions, the rights. So that's why there are some who are now wondering if Mr. Beast is going to stop short by just securing himself an entire neighborhood. I mean, what if he wanted to buy an entire state next? No, of course, with questions like that being thrown around, well, it didn't take long for this entire discourse to become so outrageous that a frustrated Mr. Beast, well, he responded by suggesting that only he could be canceled for trying to give people a place to live without any strings attached. Now, as far as he's concerned, well, Jimmy, he was just trying to help and he doesn't understand why what he's doing is being characterized by some as culty. Now, one of the people that he wanted to help and who's now living in a home Jimmy bought is his childhood friend and recent headline magnet, Chris Tyson. Now, Chris has his buddies back, just like how Jimmy had his throughout the entire hormone replacement therapy news cycle, even if it was a tongue-in-cheek sort of way. Now, Chris obviously isn't serious about moving out of his new neighborhood, and why would he? Until he starts hearing rumors about how Jimmy is suddenly hiking up everyone's rent, while also forcing them to shop at retail outlets he secretly is the owner of. Well, what are we really complaining about here? I mean, is it any surprise that a man who wants to help the near blind see again might also want to provide for those people who support him the most? I, for one, I'm looking forward to see what Mr. Beast turns this neighborhood into over the next few years, not to mention how it eventually comes to impact the content he creates. Now, years from now, we might look back at this moment as a turning point in his career for good or for bad. Now, until we know for sure, I guess we'll just have to wait and find out. I guess that'll bring us to the end of our latest edition of How Stores here on Famous Entertainment. Before I leave you guys, I do have a question for you. Who's the first person in your inner circle you'd gift a home to if you owned an entire neighborhood? I'm sure Cara would have given a house to that dog. So that's what came to my mind. Actually, send some love and support to Cara. She's Cara the Vampire Slayer over on Instagram and send her some hearts because she's just devastated with the loss of her shero. And if you guys know us, if you've been following us for years, you know that dog meant everything to both of us. Anyways guys, my name is Michael McCrudden. Thanks for bearing with me on this channel. I don't often host, you know, house stores, but I'm happy to be here. And sometimes they tag other videos at the end. So let's do Ariana Maddox house store if you guys are still here. We'll see you guys in another video. Oh! They might be freshly on the outs right now, but back in 2019, Ariana Maddox and Tom Sandoval agreed on one thing when it came to purchasing their soon to be Los Angeles love pad. Plays needed to have a wow factor. These former West Hollywood bartenders turned veteran reality TV stars decided to wisely save up their money following pairing off with one another while starring in the popular Bravo series, Vanderpump Rules. In fact, this former duo saved so much so fast they were able to shallow just over $2 million for a newly built, family sized farm house style residence situated in the increasingly pricey neighborhood of Valley Village. Boasting five bedrooms as well as five and a half baths, this 4,453 square foot home offered its new owners plenty of room to share with their famously hard party and castmates and coworkers from the popular West Hollywood eatery, sir. Set into a shallow porch located next to a two car garage, the front door to Ariana's home boasts a rib glass accented front door that opens directly into an open concept, living and dining room boasting 10 foot tall ceilings, honey colored wide plank wood floors, a petite fireplace and an accent wall that was originally painted in a dark shade of charcoal. As for their kitchen, it was designed with a kosher diet in mind, which means it boasts three sinks, two dishwashers and two ovens alongside a marble topped center island snack bar. On the opposite side of the setting is a family room with stacked stone fireplace situated between some built in open shelves. Meanwhile, a 16 foot wide bank of floor to ceiling glass sliders slip into the nearby wall to merge the expansive space with the backyard. In addition, there's also a small office as well as an on suite guest bedroom located on the main floor. The rest of the bedrooms and private bathrooms that boasts snazzy custom tile all live on the top floor, along with the master suites. This is made up of a spacious bedroom with a fireplace, a lavish marble bathroom boasting a hair and makeup vanity, as well as two fitted walk-in closets, perfect for a couple that no doubt considered themselves to be the definition of fashionable. Completing the picture is a partly trellis covered gray stone patio that stretches across the full with the back of the house, while overlooking a flat grassy private yard with a built in grilling station and a swimming pool. After moving into their home in 2019, about two years later, Ariana Maddox and Tom Sandvall graciously invited People Magazine inside for an exclusive look at their newly decorated masterpiece where they managed to incorporate both of their opposing styles with a little bit of help. Tom told BravoTV.com, I feel like normally when it comes to decor in a house with a guy and a girl, it can be very like, okay, the girl just kind of does everything. The guy is like, I just added this one thing. But we obviously both have very strong personalities. You see a nice mix of Ariana and myself in there. To bring their vision of a serene paradise to life, Ariana and Tom teamed up with interior designers Lucinda Pace and Andrew Panser of Concept XL, as well as exterior designer Elizabeth Montgomery of Boxhill. After discussing plans with both homeowners, the designers quickly figured out that Tom's style is a lot swankier and in desperate need of that wow factor. Meanwhile, Ariana's taste is a bit more subtle with her gravitating towards an organic eclectic vibe. That isn't to say these two couldn't find anything to agree on and a few eye-catching items sprinkled throughout their home became common ground. For instance, the couple owns a giant Timothy Alton mirror that is crystals that go all around it, giving the effects of an infinity mirror. Both Ariana and Tom love to stare into its never-ending glossy abyss. The couple also bonded over replacing their former light fixture over the dining room table with what appears to be a giant piece of chain link instead. They even installed some unusual snake curtains in here as well. Turns out Ariana is a big fan of the kind of drawings of plants and animals that appear in encyclopedias. To her, those curtains embody that. She explained to people, this fabric was like a combination of that nature drawing look with almost a Gucci feel. It was really hard to get this fabric and then we had to have someone make it into curtains for us. It took forever, but there was nothing that compared to it. Well, to complete the look, the couple had to settle on which table best served the space. Tom had an out-of-right field type idea, but Ariana wound up getting her way with a restoration hardware table that provided a minimalist counterpoint to what's otherwise a house leaning towards being maximalist. They're also happy with their choice of breakfast table, buying an oval-shaped one that's been paired with black and gold chairs. But for decor, Tom chose to display a series of bizarre items, including a cannibal fork, an emu egg, penis flutes and a saber-toothed cat skull that Ariana was not a fan of. As they bickered with one another, another unexpected item of Tom's drove Ariana crazy more than any other, a painting of actor James Earl Jones. Yes, the man who provides the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars. At the very least, these two both appear to love their bedroom, the one space in the entire house where Ariana says she spends the most of her time and who can blame her? If he shares a custom-made latte bar equipped with an espresso machine and milk frother, the Tom would put to work every morning to make coffee for Ariana. As another little treat, Tom also came up with the idea to provide more closet space for them by knocking down a wall between their bedroom's closet and the separate linen closet to create the ultimate dream wardrobe. Once they had their house looking the way they wanted it, Ariana and Tom planned on inserting a few more additions, including more plants and a bar hidden behind a moving bookcase. Tom described this idea to people telling them, you'll pull a book and it'll open up. Then the bar will feel like you left and went to a different place. They also drew up plans for a gate and exterior entrance door, but before they could complete any of that, everything fell apart instead. Ariana Maddox and her partner Tom split apart four years after moving in together following his secret affair with their fellow co-star Raquel Leviss. Tom and Raquel were allegedly planning on telling Ariana the truth for weeks about their months long affair, but instead, the heartbroken reality star found out on her own by snooping through Tom's phone. Once she discovered what he had been keeping from her, the pair split. But, and this is a big but, but they're still living together and sharing the same house, even though tensions between the two remain thick. Tom spoke about what was going on in his personal life during an episode of Howie Mandel Does Stuff. During the course of that podcast, she revealed he's still living with Ariana because he can't afford to move out and doesn't have any friends he can stay with right now. Taking into consideration the fact that it's a pretty big house, Tom doesn't see a problem with this arrangement. The former couple has also enlisted an mediator as a go-between. The former couple also enlisted a mediator as a go-between to use when they wanna communicate with one another. That being said, many of Ariana's friends aren't thrilled with this turn of events and wanna see Tom vacate the premises immediately. Former Vanderpump Rules alum Kristen Dutes even tried to create space between the two of them. But Tom was adamant about staying in the home. Bottom line, these two both share ownership of the house which means what happens next with the property is bound to take some time to sort out. But hey, at least we'll get a taste of what's going on behind closed doors when footage from this nasty breakup finally hits our TV screens during season 10 of Vanderpump Rules which is airing right now. In the meantime, Ariana and Tom are going to have to continue surviving some very awkward moments. All right everyone, that's gonna bring this latest house tour to a close.
