MrBeast is one of the few creators on YouTube who can claim to become a self-made millionaire just by giving money away. Thus, it is not a surprising thing if he says that one day he became a billionaire just by giving stuff away. Although, he would have been a billion-dollar club member much sooner if he chose to “work” for his own YouTube channel.

That was something that MrBeast recently revealed in a podcast with famous comedian Andrew Schulz, where he disclosed how a particular someone approached him to sell his YouTube channel for $1 Billion. Although, MrBeast’s love for his work surely made him aware enough of what to do and what not to do with such an “enticing” offer.

MrBeast turned down a Billion dollar offer!

In his recent podcast with American comedian Andrew Schulz, MrBeast and the entire cast of ‘Flagrant’ were discussing how the monopoly of big TV channels works, and how some major sports channels own almost every streaming rights for majorly every sport.

To this Andrew Schulz got curious about why no one approached MrBeast with such an offer. To this, Jimmy replied that he was in fact approached by someone who was curious enough to buy his channel at a hefty price of $1 Billion Dollars.

MrBeast said, “There’s people, not like official term sheets, but you know like people that would actually be able to afford it. Like you know, ‘a billion dollars if we could own the channel and the companies’ and stuff like that. And I’m like, ‘oh that sounds enticing but I don’t know if I want to work for my YouTube channel’.”

This really shows how MrBeast thinks and is inspired not by money but because of the fun that he has with his content and his channel that he refused such an intriguing offer. Notably, it is also worth mentioning that the amount of money he earns due to his channel and the views on YouTube, that day is not far away when he will literally become a billionaire and a very benevolent one.

How Jimmy would have created history if he chose to accept the $1 billion offer?

Additionally, MrBeast, if chose to sell his channel to this particular someone, would have been the “youngest” self-made billionaire after Kylie Jenner. This also means that he would have joined all the major sports faces in the media circle including Floyd Mayweather, Tiger Woods, and LeBron James, despite the fact that he is only partially considered an eSports player because of his gaming channel. Also making him the only eSports billionaire on the planet!
