MrBeast is Borrowing Money from His Mom to Pay For His Wedding
YouTuber MrBeast has said he is borrowing money from his mother to pay for his wedding, despite being worth $85 million, according to a Forbes estimate in October last year.
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, runs one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world, with over 400 million subscribers.
But Donaldson said on Monday that he has to borrow money from his mother to pay for his wedding because he invests most of his earnings.
"I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think this year we'll spend around a quarter of a billion on content)," he wrote on X. "Ironically i'm actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol. But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot."
He was replying to Dexerto, a media company that covers news about influencers, streamers, gaming and viral content, which had posted: "MrBeast is now the only billionaire under 30 to not have inherited his wealth."

4 Legit Ways To Boost Your Pay This Year, According to Vincent Chan
It's quite common to hear that the current generation is lazy and doesn't want to work, but there's more to it than that. Financial guru Vincent Chan explained in a YouTube video that money is the main reason why people don't want to work anymore. While a minimum wage was enough to buy a house back in the day, many people who make six-figures still struggle with maintaining their monthly expenses. Student loans, housing, groceries, transportation, subscriptions and other costs all add up. Trending Now: Check Out: Chan also mentioned toxic environments and the disconnect between hard work and productivity as two key reasons why people don't want to work anymore. Productivity has soared since 1979 despite stagnant wages and people don't feel inclined to work in toxic environments when their money isn't enough to keep up with their living expenses. However, you can be the exception to the rule. There are people who can comfortably manage their expenses and these strategies can put you in that position. Your job may offer an opportunity to boost your income. While working more hours is an option, it's better to demand a raise. Chan suggests creating a 'Brag Folder' where you take screenshots of compliments you received via email and store them in an online folder. You can then present this folder to your employer during your performance review. This Brag Folder is similar to how businesses gather testimonials from happy customers. Read Next: Adding a side hustle to your schedule can boost your income, but you might end up earning more with your side hustle than your job. Some people replace their job with a side hustle in a few years, but you can also treat it as purely a side hustle if you like your job. A side hustle will diversify your income and help you develop new skills. You can also fall back on your side hustle if you get laid off and have to look for another full-time job. Some companies are more than happy to give you the raise you deserve and do everything they can to keep you. However, other companies take their employees for granted. If you find yourself in this position, you may want to do a job hop. Job hopping involves looking for higher-paying jobs and applying for them. You can get a higher income boost with this route, as it's possible to increase your income by 30% to 50% with the right job. Meanwhile, you're lucky if your current employer gives you a 3% raise each year. Regularly moving from one job to another can help you climb the corporate ladder much faster than staying in one spot. Knowing that you can move from one job to the next will also give you more confidence and leverage when negotiating a raise. There is a limit to how much money you can save. Chan explains that if you earn $5,000 per month, you cannot save $5,000 per month. However, it's still important to save and invest your money. If you have good money habits in place, you will know how to build your long-term financial future when your income doubles. While you shouldn't rush to use the money that you save and invest, these funds can boost your income. You can put the money in a high-yield savings account to receive guaranteed cash flow or you can put your cash in the stock market to potentially earn higher returns.

Owner Leaves Dog Alone With Relaxing Music—Unprepared for What Petcam Shows
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A viral video of an American XL bully named Ragnar has warmed the hearts of viewers on TikTok—thanks to his hilariously chill reaction to some relaxing tunes. The video, which was posted to Instagram by the pet's owners on June 4, shows Ragnar fully sprawled out on his dog bed, front legs extended and head buried contently on the cushion, exuding total peace. An overlaid text on the video added more context: "Left my dog home alone with relaxing music… This is what I saw when I checked the camera… I think it worked." The caption read: "10/10 would recommend dog relaxing music!" There is some science behind the lighthearted post, because music—particularly classical music—is proven to have a soothing effect on dogs. Research by the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and the University of Glasgow found that classical music can reduce stress levels in canines a significant amount. In the 2015 study, researchers observed dogs in a shelter and found a notable decrease in stress behaviors, such as barking and pacing, when classical music was played around them. The American Kennel Club also recommends soft classical or reggae music for dogs who suffer from separation anxiety, noting that the rhythm and tempo help promote a sense of stability and security. Since it was posted, the video from @ragnarthebullyxl has racked up over 400,000 likes and more than 1.4 million views on the platform. The comments section is flooded with users expressing laughter and amazement at the canine's tranquil state, with one commenter writing, "Dude's sleeping like he pays the bills." "'Pit bulls are mean' literally pit bulls:" Another viewer said. "Now I feel better for leaving my dog relaxing music," another added. "OMG I do this for my dog everyday when I'm out and she is always dead asleep," a third viewer shared. "Him sleeping like that while [you are] at work paying for that TV to stay on so he can listen to his music," another said. "This is literally what my dog does if not he's watching Bluey and people get made I leave him alone trust me he's living his life," another added.

Chicago's Boom2Funny talks inspiration behind comedy, teaching kids on content creation
Chicago native Johnta Richmond, also known online as Boom2Funny, has over one million social media followers and is a TikTok sensation. The West Side turned South Sider credits his real-life experience for the success of his videos. "It kinda came from a real-life ex who's always popping up everywhere I go after we broke up, and then she knew everything about me, she knew my whole family, she knew everything, so I'm like I'm going to put in my kinda portrayal," he said. He said he didn't think that the postings would explode the way it has. "The very first time I did it, I did not, but the numbers went up. I got a million in one day, and I was like 'oh, okay,' and then I did one at a graduation with a boy who never met me before, he didn't know what was going on, walked up and di the video, and that video did 14 million," he said. Richmond is not just making content but also teaching kids how to make content safely through a program called Social Impact. "It's here to teach the kids how to use the internet in a safe way. We have so many kids posting with each other and getting into it, fights and killing, so I decided to come in and teach them content creation," he said. He sees the art of teaching content creation as a benefit to young people in the city, as "the internet is the new TV." "Chicago is so creative," he said. I teach from first grade all the way to 12th grade, so I get so many personalities." As for his videos, being accurate is key. "If you get a chance, check out any of the videos. I try to make it as accurate as possible, relative. Everybody has some kind of boom in them," he said. His videos can be found on YouTube and TikTok.
