Is MrBeast in deal talks with Amazon‘s Prime Video for a reality-competition show worth an estimated $100 million dollars?
The news was first reported by Puck, and later confirmed by Variety, that MrBeast could be hosting his own reality-competition show on Amazon‘s Prime Video.
Important things like the title of this new show, or what its about, haven’t been revealed yet, but the concept sounds like the MrBeast-hosted show would follow the format of his viral YouTube challenges, except now he’ll be getting paid big-time money to make the show and not be giving away a giant corporation’s cash in the form of large cash prizes awarded to the winners of his competitions.
This sounds like a perfect fit for MrBeast’s talents!
We’ve done a lot of stories about MrBeast lately, because frankly he’s in the news every week with a different outlandish video on his YouTube channel that has 233 million subscribers!
If MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, brings his talents to a streaming network , then that could drive some bigtime viewership numbers for Amazon’s Prime Video.
But if you think a $100 million dollar deal with Amazon’s Prime Video would change MrBeast then you don’t really get him.
Jimmy Donaldson is already the highest-earning internet content creator out there. According to Forbest, MrBeast generated an estimated $82 million in earnings over the 12-month period between June 2022 to June 2023. When you consider how quickly MrBeast’s YouTube channel is continuing to grow that number is sure to only go up in 2024.
Adding another $100 million to his bank account will only empower MrBeast to up his productions, which usually cost him several million dollars to write, film, edit, and include the insane cash prizes he doles out.
I’m pumped to watch MrBeast’s new Amazon Prime Show when it comes out!
