And after taking a look at the laundry list of handouts he claims to have made, you’ll understand why Beast Games has been dubbed the most expensive game show in history.
One thousand contestants were put through their paces in a Squid Game-style tournament hosted by the internet star, in the hopes of bagging the mammoth $10million grand prize.
The YouTube star, real name Jimmy Donaldson, also gave away upwards of £25 million to contestants throughout the show, which had a staggering budget of £79,600,000.
That’s on top of doling out a ‘private island, Lamborghinis, and millions more in cash throughout the competition’ – so essentially, it cost an arm and a leg to bring Beast Games to life.

Luckily for those lot, MrBeast had previously taken to social media to clarify exactly how much money was bestowed to contestants throughout Beast Games.
In total, the Kansas-born social media star explained that $25,019,995 had been awarded to players.
According to his post on X, he stumped up $10,004,242 for the grand prize as well as another $4.2million for the MoneyLion giveaway.
He dished out another $1.8million here, another $1million there – as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars to some of the other 1,000 Beast Games participants.
Don’t worry though, as the content creator hasn’t been left in financial disrepair despite appearing to break the bank for Beast Games.
According to Forbes, MrBeast boasts a net worth of $85million, so even if it had came out of his own pocket, it’s a small drop in the ocean for him.
Despite airing Beast Games’ payouts to the world, people still had pressing questions about the money which had changed hands.
