YouTube Success
- Donaldson’s channel is currently the most-subscribed channel on YouTube with over 400 million subscribers.
- He attributes his success in part to revenue generated by his Beast Philanthropy channel, which focuses on charitable work.

- Treating rheumatic heart disease in Nigeria.
- Protecting endangered animals in Kenya through a partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

App Features
