American YouTube creator MrBeast has arrived in Uzbekistan ahead of an exclusive fan event in Tashkent, marking his first visit to Central Asia.
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, arrived at Tashkent International Airport on October 9, where he greeted people and posed for photographs. His production team had reached the Uzbek capital several days earlier and filmed at locations around the city.
The crew has also been spotted travelling with a red Lamborghini, which has prompted speculation on Uzbek social media that the vehicle could feature among the prizes. Organisers have not confirmed whether the car will be given away.
About the event
MrBeast is due to meet an undisclosed number of fans at an interactive event that will feature games, quizzes and prizes. Attendance is free but restricted to people aged 18 and over who registered before the October 8 deadline. The guests were selected at random using a computerised selection system.
Selected participants receive the event details and a personal QR code directly from organisers. Tickets cannot be transferred or sold, and guests are not permitted to bring additional attendees.
The visit was organised at the invitation of Uzbekistan’s Art and Culture Development Foundation (ACDF) and in cooperation with the Tourism Committee. MrBeast has more than 500mn subscribers across his YouTube channels and is known for large-scale challenges, major cash prizes and philanthropic projects.
