However, there was a time when he decided to reject an offer of a billion dollar that could have made him the youngest self made millionaire. This information was revealed in the latest podcast of Flagrant that is now trending on YouTube.
Talking about his plans to run for the president and future video ideas and his ambitions in life, MrBeast was asked whether he had ever been offered the “craziest cheque in history” by Disney who are on a roll to buy several streaming services. Answering this quest, the 24-year old YouTuber stated-
"Well, I have. I have been offered a pretty crazy one. Umm... like, there's people, not like official term sheets, but you know? People like, that would actually like, be able to afford it. Like, 'Yeah, you know, a billion dollars, if we could own the channel and the companies, and stuff like that."
