MrBeast is taking his “Beast Games” show from YouTube to Amazon Prime Video, offering a $5 million prize to 1,000 contestants. Amazon claims it will be the largest single prize in TV and streaming history. MrBeast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, expressed excitement for the show, promising it will be “insane.” While a launch date is still pending, he plans to share more details later this year.
In an effort to demonstrate that YouTubers can thrive on other platforms, MrBeast emphasized that money is not a limiting factor for the show. He aims to create the best possible program with Amazon granting him creative control. The impact of this move on his YouTube following remains uncertain, given his status as one of the platform’s highest-paid creators with around 240 million subscribers.
Additionally, MrBeast recently shared advice for aspiring content creators, cautioning against prematurely dropping out of school or quitting jobs to pursue a career in content creation. He emphasized the importance of being smart and realistic about the challenges involved. Despite his success, he acknowledged that not everyone will achieve the same level of success.
