Looking into it some more, apparently the 69 million dollars was just money confirmed during the stream, with additional funds declared to the charity from the event pushing the total amount collected to ~77.5 million.
The action itself started with a young girl fighting against cancer making a diss track against the illness with some rapper's help, which was kinda cute and wholesome. The streamer who started the action did so because he liked the diss track, and said he will stream the song consecutively as many times as the song gets likes. It got a lot of likes, so that meant many days of non-stop streaming for the charity. IIRC the first goal was only for the equivalent of a few tens of thousands of dollars, but it was met so quickly they kept expanding, again and again.
The previous record for an event like this was French Z Event for ~16 million Euro, and Mr Beast's Team Water campaign that collected ~12 million dollars.
Of note is that 100% of that 77.5 million is going directly to the charity, since the stream was just some guy streaming from his small one-bedroom apartment he didn't even get to furnish properly yet. So none of that collected money was spent on a venue, staff, catering, celebrity cameos and so on. The celebrities that did make an appearance did so out of their own free will to help out, and usually donated some money themselves. Various personalities and famous people joined in, old feuds were forgiven and people who hated each other in the media with a burning passion were friendly towards and happy to see each other for the first time, ever.
The fundraising equivalent of building an Iron Man suit in a cave with a box of scraps.
