MrBeast reveals insane costs behind YouTube videos & why he wants to go \u201cbigger\u201d Instagram: mrbeastYouTuber MrBeast has revealed why he still wants to \u201cpush the boundaries\u201d and \u201cgo bigger\u201d with his main channel videos, despite their insane cost. Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is one of the most popular YouTubers on the site right now, with over 94 million subscribers on his main channel alone. He\u2019s known for his philanthropy, as well as his crazy video ideas that often end up garnering tens of millions of views and going viral across social media. In late 2021, he did his craziest challenge yet \u2014 a lifesize recreation of the hit show Squid Game \u2014 which cost an astonishing $3.5 million to make. But even though he previously revealed that he\u2019s losing \u201ca ridiculous amount of money\u201d through his main channel, it seems he doesn\u2019t plan on scaling back any time soon. In an interview with Rolling Stone, MrBeast revealed that each main channel video he makes often costs about a million dollars to produce. Jimmy said: \u201cI could be doing cheaper videos,\u201d Donaldson says. \u201cBut I just don\u2019t want to. I want to push the boundaries to go bigger, bigger.\u201d Regarding people questioning his motivations when it comes to his charitable efforts, the YouTuber also explained: \u201cI know myself, and I don\u2019t have anything to prove to anyone. I think what I\u2019ve done speaks for itself. \u201cI have an entire channel built around my nonprofit that I\u2019ve invested ungodly amounts of hours into building, that I\u2019ll never see a single penny out of.\u2026 I lose five figures and dozens of hours every month. The opportunity cost could go to projects that make millions of dollars. So I don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t say this stuff publicly, because that\u2019s not why I do it.\u201d One of MrBeast\u2019s channels is Beast Philanthropy, the revenue from which goes towards his charity, which \u201ccurrently operates a food pantry with a mobile food distribution network, established to address the food insecurity needs of remote and under-served food deserts.\u201d Jimmy is well known for being generous, and earlier in April he even allowed fans to order free Feastables chocolate bars for ten minutes, which ended up crashing the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
