YouTube content creation has been a flourishing career prospect. On the other hand, rapping has been the talk of the town for ages. MrBeast, a prominent YouTube content creator on the stepping stone to becoming the first YouTuber billionaire, was interested in the opinion of American rapper DDG.

This stoked the fans into giving their reactions in the tweet thread. A fan tweeted, “A music album is a lot more passive though.

On the other hand, this interaction tweaked a video idea for MrBeast, as a fan tweeted, “For Mr. Beast’s next video he’s gonna have people rap battle for the money.” To give a more vivid view, here are the reactions of the fans to the tweet:

Expert uses basic maths to frame out the earnings of Jimmy from his YouTube channel

Financial guru and entrepreneur Patrick Ben-David compared the earnings of MrBeast’s YouTube channel with a Super Bowl commercial. Estimating $5 million to be a Super Bowl commercial’s earnings, he went on to calculate it against the 17 billion views (at the then time analytics) on the MrBeast channel.

“Let’s do this together 17 billion views divided by 100 million (Super Bowl commercial views) because that’s what Super Bowl claims. So that’s 170 times 5 million bucks okay, minimum that that thing is worth 850 million dollars,” said Patrick.

To give a round figure, he said, “Add it to all the other channels that he has, I think he’s right 10 to 20 billion dollars the right number.” Thus, one can totally absorb the fact that MrBeast has huge bucks backing him.
