Deion Sanders doesn't often throw his support behind resharing stuff on social media. It usually comes organically from people he knows or trusts. Such being the case when famed YouTuber MrBeast laid out his work on X (Formerly Twitter).

The personality, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, broke down all the details of his philanthropy in action with over $50 million donated on top of many possessions.

Outside of what Donaldson listed, His accomplishments include amassing the most YouTube subscribers at 411 million, creating viral videos with over 89 billion views, and building a billion-dollar media empire. He's one of the biggest success stories as the world's eighth youngest billionaire, according to Benzinga.

MrBeast is now expanding into television, gaming, and global-scale philanthropy. As he continues to balance entertainment with generosity, many wonder if he can sustain his level of success?

Maybe Sanders sees Donaldson as being ready to make a jump into owning a sports franchise and wants to help guide the ship? It would be a similar move to what Magic Johnson has done with the Los Angeles Dodgers and others. Now, that would be another amazing step in Prime Time's illustrious career. From Hall-of-Famer to coach to owner? We can only dream, right?

For now, Sanders prepares for his third season at Colorado, which starts on Friday, August 29 against Georgia Tech (8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN).
