Viral YouTuber MrBeast is giving fans a chance to win $25,000 after he made more than $260,000 in revenue from a video he posted on X
MrBeast announced the money offering the same day he posted a photo on X of his total revenue from the X video – which added up to $263,655 at that time
MrBeast’s X post about the money giveaway has already received more than 100 million views and more than three million users shared the tweet
MrBeast uploaded the original $1 vs $100,000,000 Car video on one of his YouTube accounts in September 2023.
The YouTuber gave a list of 13 cars he managed to get his hands on from least to most expensive and rode in almost every vehicle.
Expensive cars featured on the list that he was able to drive himself include the $100,000 Tesla and the $500,000 amphibious car.
MrBeast was even able to get his hands on the vehicle constructed by the founder of Ferrari to the founder of Ford worth $30 million.
Although he wasn’t a passenger in that legendary car, MrBeast did get the chance to be a passenger in a $50 million jaguar that once belonged to the daily driver of actor and racing driver Steve McQueen.
The $100 million car in the video that came from a museum was only allowed to be driven on a bridge by a museum representative.
Police officers closed off the road that led to the bridge and street cleaners filled in pot holes so that MrBeast and the representative could drive that car.
The YouTube video receive positive comments from users and has received more than 216 million views.

Despite the viewership and revenue success, MrBeast noted in a tweet that he thinks ‘it’s a bit of a facade.’
‘Advertisers saw the attention it was getting and bought ads on my video (I think) and thus my revenue per view is prob higher than what you’d experience,’ he wrote.
A few YouTubers commented on the X post about his viewership, including Jack CouRage Dunlop.
X users commenting on MrBeast’s money giveaway tweet have jokingly commented other cash offers and one user even wrote that the post is ‘going to make more than the video ever made.’
MrBeast was seemingly shocked about the revenue and believes that ‘it’s a bit of a facade.’ Other than impressive revenue, MrBeast earned more than 150 million impressions and more than five million engagements
Social media users have been joking around and saying they will give away money to other users if they themselves are the ones who win $25,000
‘If I win, I’ll give the $24.000 to someone that likes this reply, game on,’ an X user wrote.
One X user was seemingly not in a joking mood compared to others when they wrote down what they recommended MrBeast do with the money.
‘I recommend spending you time actually earning money instead of sitting in your aunt’s basement playing Mario Kart and pretending you have $250k,’ the X user wrote.
‘And bear in mind I have a four figure checking account balance and a credit score that starts with a 6.’
