“From buying private islands to building cities, I just want to be the most subscribed channel,” said MrBeast.

He stated that his videos are motivated by the happiness of his viewers, saying, "The reason why 100 million people keep coming back every video is because we try to constantly prioritise what they want and what makes them happy."

“Views and performance matter, but ultimately, we are just trying to make the audience happy and I want to give them videos that they will like,” MrBeast added.

The 26-year-old online sensation has created several films with out-of-the-box concepts, such as building skyscrapers and locking individuals in a room to earn money, which he describes as one of his most intriguing projects.

He utilized 300 cameras and had petabytes of content. A petabyte is equivalent to 1000 terabytes.

During the interview, Mr. Beast stated that most of his ideas are unique, while some are "Copy and taste."

“This is where I elevate the idea, share the credit and blend it from many sources. As compared to copy and pasting where one imitates the idea, takes all the credit and acquires the video from one source,” said MrBeast.

According to ViewStats, MrBeast has had over 49 billion views, generating an estimated income of 1.9 to 5.3 million dollars for every video.

He previously carried out one of his initiatives in Kenya, where he constructed 52 boreholes to supply clean water to underserved villages and schools.

He recently became the most subscribed individual on the platform, with over 267 million subscribers.

The YouTuber took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to announce his new milestone. He has now surpassed the Indian music label T-Series, which has held the record for most subscribers after overtaking Swedish streamer PewDiePie.
