I have no idea who the guy is, but why is anyone surprised that someone who goes by Mr Beast is living up to his stage name?

To my understanding he got his internet fame primarily from videos of giving people money. Never watched his stuff though.

No, he got his fame (which ENABLED him to start giving away stuff, which became his formula, but didn't bootstrap him) by performing superhuman feats of will and mental and physical endurance. Seriously. The man is not like most people on the inside. I won't speculate what's there but it's different.
