Naming
These are the 5 people who appear the most on the MrBeast channels, with the rest of the crew members (editors, cameramen, family members who appear in the videos, etc.) being considered as affiliates. Although the name of the collective was rarely mentioned, it can be seen on MrBeast's official Discord server or the gaming Discord server when any of the members marked themselves as online on Discord.
History
The Beast Gang started to exist as a collective ever since Jimmy's childhood, with Jimmy and Kris being the only two members of the collective. Years later, Chandler, who was a janitor, became the third member of the group in 2018.
To add, Jake the Viking and Garrett joined the crew as well around 2018-2019 and could be considered as members of the Beast Gang. However, Jake left to become an independent creator, and Garrett moved on to working more behind the scenes.
Moreover, around that time, since Kris was good friends with Karl, who was originally a cameraman, Karl became the fourth member in 2019-2020.
Nolan was initially just another minor member of the MrBeast crew, making his first appearance in I Spent $1,000,000 on Lottery Tickets. It is possible that he got to meet up with the MrBeast crew by dating Anna, MrBeast's sister. However, over time, he appeared more frequently, and now that he appeared in pretty much every newer video since then, he is now considered as the fifth member of the gang.
Tareq originally served just as the main cameraman, similarly to Karl. He occasionally made appearances prior to 2023, but later in 2023, he practically serves as the 5th concurrent on-screen member.
On July 23, 2024, Kris has left the Beast Gang to focus on her mental health and family, along with the allegations she was facing.[1]
