Mr Beast reveals insane cost behind most expensive YouTube video ever Instagram: MrBeastJimmy \u2018Mr Beast\u2019 Donaldson is known for some of the most generous giveaways and lucrative challenges on the internet, though the YouTube celebrity has revealed the extreme costs that come with some of his biggest projects. [jwplayer smynPnSq] Mr Beast boasts one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world with over 45 million subscribers. However, his success certainly hasn\u2019t come cheap. Despite raking in tens of millions of views across dozens of videos, production costs have only skyrocketed. Revealing the secrets behind his channel, Mr Beast went into detail on the latest episode of The CouRage and Nadeshot Show. From the most he\u2019s ever made with one video to the most he\u2019s ever spent. At the beginning of 2019, Mr Beast and his crew ate a steak worth $10,000 to draw in viewers. That figure pales in comparison to how the year came to a close \u2014 December 19, 2019, marks the date of their most costly video and there\u2019s a good chance it isn\u2019t topped anytime soon. \u201cWhat\u2019s the most money you\u2019ve ever spent on one video?\u201d Nadeshot asked, putting him on the spot. \u201cThe most we spent was probably $1.2 million,\u201d Mr Beast responded without hesitation. \u201cWe did \u2018Last to Take Hand Off $1,000,000 Keeps It,\u2019 and then the second place got $30,000.\u201d Third place also got a good chunk of change, and it cost \u201caround $40,000 to set up,\u201d he added. Given the extraordinary cost of his biggest project to date, it took a bigger hit than perhaps even the crew had planned. \u201cLiterally at the end of 2019, our cash flow was low\u2026 We had to borrow a little money to keep filming.\u201d While some videos may see \u201csix-figures\u201d in ad revenue along with sponsorship bonuses on the side, Mr Beast confirmed that a majority of income goes straight back into the channel. \u201cWe go hard. We dump it all back in.\u201d \u201cWhen we first started scaling up my mum and I would fight all the time,\u201d he said. \u201cShe thought I was crazy.\u201d Despite the arguments, things have only gotten more out of hand with Mr Beast\u2019s surging popularity.

Though Nadeshot was curious what the creator would do with 100 times that. \u201cI would buy a private island, put 100 YouTubers on it, and whoever survives the longest, gets it.\u201d A real-world battle royale is his dream video. Only time will tell if this crazy project ever gets greenlit, but if anyone\u2019s going to pull it off, it\u2019ll be Mr Beast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
