Tareq Salameh
Tareq Monjed Edris Salameh was born December 9, 1994, in Saudi Arabia to a Palestinian-Jordanian Muslim family. He relocated to North Carolina for a better life. A South Central High School graduate, he worked at a hospital while also doing stand-up comedy. He met Jimmy Donaldson at one of his comedy shows — Jimmy was in the audience. Tareq initially declined the camera job due to his parents, but a year later he agreed after Jimmy personally spoke to his parents. He became MrBeast's primary cameraman from 2017–2018. By 2023, he transitioned from behind the camera to a full on-screen crew member. He famously earned over $210,000 from the video 'If You Click This Video I'll Give My Friend $.001' because it reached 210M views — he gave all the money to his parents. He is a philanthropist who speaks up against wars in Gaza and Palestine. He has family in Jordan.
