Darren Margolias
Executive Director
Beast Philanthropy
After a successful career as a real-estate investor and developer, Darren became disillusioned by the prospects of wealth accumulation, and after selling his real estate portfolio dedicated his life to helping others. He has become widely known for his instrumental role in driving the philanthropic achievements of MrBeast and is our fearless leader when it comes to doing good in the world.
With Beast Philanthropy, Darren is on a mission to teach people how they can manifest the change they want to see. To stand up for another and stop abdicating responsibility to others. Using the power of social media and one of the world’s largest megaphones, he believes we can teach an entire generation of kids to care a little bit more than the generations before them. To truly have an impact on the world through the actions that we inspire rather than purely the actions we try to undertake ourselves.
When MrBeast and Darren first came together with the idea to start this channel, they consulted with multiple experts on social media and were advised the channel would be an abject failure due to the “Boring” and “Depressing” nature of the content but through their dedication to creative storytelling and purposeful philanthropy, the Youtube channel now sits with over 25,000,000 subscribers and growing at an exponential rate. Silencing the doubters and proving that #KindnessIsViral.
By demonstrating that charity is not a burden and donating is not a sacrifice, but rather its an immensely rewarding and fulfilling experience for the giver, Darren is planting the seeds of compassion, empathy, and generosity in tens of millions of young minds. Through his work with MrBeast and Beast Philanthropy, we are shaping a new generation of impactful giving.
