MrBeast reveals why he turned down $1 billion offer for his YouTube channel YouTube: MrBeastMrBeast has revealed that he once turned down a staggering $1 billion offer for his YouTube channels and associated brands in MrBeast Burger and Feastables. There\u2019s no denying that MrBeast is one of the biggest stars on the internet today. While his English-speaking YouTube channels combine for just under 200 million subscribers, that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg for his overall reach. Foreign language channels with custom dubbing, an entire food chain in MrBeast Burger, and even his own chocolate brand in Feastables. His team has built an ever-growing behemoth over the years and naturally, it\u2019s worth a pretty penny. Without divulging all the specifics, MrBeast just revealed on the FLAGRANT podcast that he was even offered $1 billion for control of his sprawling content empire. Ultimately, he opted to decline in order to maintain full control over all the moving pieces. \u201cI have been offered a pretty crazy [deal],\u201d MrBeast told FLAGRANT co-host Andrew Schulz in a September 27 episode of the show. \u201cNot official term sheets, but people that would actually be able to afford it\u2026 a billion dollars if we could own the channel and the companies.\u201d Admittedly, the offer was \u201centicing\u201d when it first came up in conversation. However, the YouTube star didn\u2019t bite. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I want to work for my YouTube channel,\u201d he explained. (MrBeast discusses the $1 billion offer at the 2:55:13 mark below) Having built his YouTube success from scratch, along with the associated companies in recent years, MrBeast isn\u2019t quite ready to give up full control and work for a new owner. While he wasn\u2019t able to reveal who the interested party was, he assured their offer was legitimate. \u201cNot a term sheet,\u201d he repeated, \u201cbut people who would. If I took it serious, they would\u2019ve been like \u2018Okay, let\u2019s figure it out.\u2019 I can\u2019t go any further than that.\u201d Clearly not looking to sell at this point in time, MrBeast has a more ambitious price tag in mind for a possible deal at some stage in the future. \u201c$10 billion. $20 billion,\u201d he said. \u201cSomething like that\u201d would make him more comfortable handing over the keys to his kingdom. \u201cIn the future, I think we could be worth way more.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
