“This is awesome. But also, this is the adage of “give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he’ll eat forever”.

Etc,” another user commented.

According to CNBC, MrBeast brings in $600 million-$700 million in revenue each year, with his YouTube channel booming with over 267 million subscribers. Last year, he surpassed Indian music company T-Series to become the world’s most-subscribed YouTuber.
