00:02:30.260
company. Where does the name Mr. Beast come from? I wish I had a better story for it. It comes from
00:02:35.020
the satanic bible. It comes from 33 degree freemasonry. Mr. Beast the beast the anti-crime
0.77
00:02:43.100
I'm joking. They give it a sub. How I came up with the name Mr. Beast but there's a thing called
00:02:48.320
an xbox live gamertag. I just hit random. Little known fact his original name was not Mr. Beast
00:02:57.280
OK, and then he had to sacrifice Chris Tyson to make it to the top.
00:03:01.640
Name, and it gave me Mr. B6000, and then eventually I just dropped the 6,000.
00:03:07.220
On that note, who or what inspired you to start Mr. B6000 back in 2012?
00:03:13.960
My parents lost everything in 2008 and went bankrupt.
00:03:16.800
And so there's this YouTube channel that I promise not a single person
00:03:20.260
watching this would recognize, named Woody's Gamer Tag.
00:03:22.920
and he was just playing call of duty he was uploading i recognized that i was there at the
00:03:25.700
time he's one of the og call of duty commentators who was there who was there for that era this is
00:03:31.040
some real unk status going on and his smile looks really genuine here everyone's saying his eyes are
00:03:34.900
soulless his eyes are empty looks like a normal smile to me but this was one of the he was the
00:03:40.640
biggest call of duty commentator in that scene we all look used to look up to him and then he made
00:03:45.960
a podcast the pka podcast with his gamer tag and stuff like that but this was it felt like the
00:03:51.760
original podcasting using call of duty gameplay no face cam and just yapping while playing the game
00:03:56.700
he mentioned that he made a hundred thousand dollars yeah white boys off of it i was like wow
00:04:00.760
i could make youtube videos and be able to take care of my mom and like you know provide for this
00:04:05.620
guy's making my mom's yearly salary off of youtube videos what that's when i was just like okay this
00:04:11.340
is what i'm gonna do i'm gonna be a youtuber or die trying like i once it clicked in my head it
00:04:15.080
was an actual job i was like this is what i want what's something that people might not expect
00:04:18.920
about the process behind your videos oh boy well the thing is every video we do is different right
00:04:24.480
one video i spent seven days in an abandoned city the next video it's comparing the world's
00:04:29.500
cheapest hotel room towards the most expensive hotel room in the world i think i'm calling it
00:04:33.660
now either kind of allude to it but in the next two three years mr beast is going to be a pure
00:04:37.500
streamer you'll be youtube on the side you know he'll still classify himself like that the same
00:04:42.660
way i'm a youtuber first streamer second you know i got to be more active on my main channel i haven't
00:04:46.420
posted in two weeks but he's seeing that all the roys through streaming so all these challenges
00:04:50.940
you could just stream them you want to get people to jump in a pool i got 100 000 people to go on
00:04:55.640
chris tice's island and handcuff him to his hrt i'm joking but that would be why can't you just
00:05:01.660
stream that content you don't get multiple cameras set up because it's all the clips that come from
00:05:05.880
it and it's that much more content and today we just have some of the greatest people in the world
00:05:11.220
here you say i doubt it he's not the streamer type one thing you don't understand he's also
00:05:14.080
not the youtuber type and he says it himself that's why the cast of people were always he
00:05:18.240
said oh you guys are funnier than me you guys tell the jokes he's always kind of been the director
00:05:21.600
a youtube personality is a performance and it's fabricated it's it's controlled and it's made into
00:05:28.340
to make the best videos but you can do the same thing for streaming you just got other you get
00:05:33.980
a bunch of tap dancers and he's the pro with that get the whole world to tap dance for you for like
0.83
00:05:37.900
you dangle money and they'll fucking do anything but they'll lock himself in an insane asylum
00:05:41.380
and some of the smartest and most creative people and you know a lot of it is i lean on them like i
0.95
00:05:45.880
don't come up with every idea anymore i heard earlier that you start with the thumbnail and
00:05:50.480
the title of the video yeah if you could give this video that we're making right now a thumbnail and
00:05:54.900
title what would they be did this video bang gotta be careful because you're gonna use what i say
00:05:59.860
what would get the most clicks would i told you this story before but yeah that's 100 true
00:06:05.360
and you should take this advice if you're a youtuber so yeah i think it was eight years
00:06:09.140
ago at this time i was like man i'm not like he's like yeah you need a viral video to blow up i was
00:06:13.060
stuck at 27k for like three years and he said i was making this video about um can white people
00:06:18.220
say the n-word i'm like what should the title of thumbnail be and he said the title should be would
00:06:22.160
you say the n-word for one dollar and the thumbnail i don't know don't use this you're handing a white
0.54
00:06:27.740
guy a dollar and a black guy's behind him he's about to punch him i don't know it's something
00:06:31.180
like that don't use that i use that it got 11 million views now we're here i'm the you know i
00:06:38.820
have a case study of that method it works he was right probably he knows what he's saying though
00:06:45.140
like mr beast shares his hidden secrets to youtube or maybe just mr beast opens up about
00:06:53.080
things he's never before something like that where it's a little vague where it creates that
00:06:57.100
like whoa what what is this i need to hear what he says and then the intro though you really have
00:07:02.080
to reaffirm whatever the title is because your title and thumbnail sets expectations for what
00:07:06.820
people click on and if the expectations aren't matched then people are gonna click off and then
00:07:10.960
youtube will stop promoting it what the super chat just said sneeko my daughter grace is in
00:07:15.120
manhattan tonight uh do you want what do you say do you want me to sleep with your daughter
1.00
00:07:21.260
why would you tell me this information what is the what is this for what what
00:07:30.300
your squid game in real life video is one of the most viewed non-music videos on youtube
00:07:39.680
Well, the hardest part of pulling it off is we did in 30 days.
00:07:42.280
I think it was a $4 million video, like $4 million on a single YouTube video
00:07:49.860
That was like the first time anyone had really poured that much money
00:07:52.460
and that much time and that much effort into a single video.
00:07:55.580
Something else that sounds scary is spending seven days buried alive.
00:07:59.160
What was the scariest moment for you during that shoot?
00:08:02.740
the scariest moment was definitely when um i mean don't ask why but the coffin's like kind of like
00:08:08.100
this obviously i turned around in the coffin and i kind of got stuck like this so this is the coffin
00:08:14.780
stuck here and i almost started panicking but then after like six or six does he kind of give
00:08:19.320
you like sam altman peter teal vibes a little bit like elon musk ai founder silicon valley
00:08:26.120
san francisco sort of you know not in a not in a bad way but in a you know tech innovator
00:08:38.040
seven seconds i was able to get out and get unstuck but i was like oh my gosh if i'm stuck
00:08:45.220
like this i'm gonna lose my mind how do psychological challenges like that one and
00:08:48.520
the solitary confinement challenge compare to the physical stunts you pulled off that's a great
00:08:53.080
question look at you uh I don't usually talk about this look at you I've been inadvertently
00:08:57.280
honing my mental toughness for a very long time I mean even like seven years ago when I counted
00:09:01.200
100,000 on a YouTube video like that was horrible 20 hours of counting I didn't want to do it that
00:09:05.240
was miserable but I've done so many really really miserable hard things being buried alive multiple
00:09:11.500
times seven days in solitary confinement seven days on a deserted island seven days here seven
00:09:15.420
days there it's like a muscle you just kind of train yourself to get used to like not being
00:09:20.220
afraid when you get that feeling of this sucks quit quit don't do this this isn't fun you like
00:09:25.800
build a tolerance of like it is what it is I always enjoy when I finish those projects because
0.82
00:09:30.460
I'm like I did that I did the thing that no one thought I could do that I didn't think I could do
00:09:34.400
and that's kind of the fun part is it's like seven days of suffering but then afterwards you get like
00:09:38.720
a cool story and what happened to Chris Tyson since then you push it's Chris Tyson still unbanned on
00:09:43.160
Instagram obviously there's a fake sneaker Instagram it's not me you can see the watermark
00:09:48.140
at the bottom of a fake sneak of this on me so it's a but what happened to that he left the family
00:09:53.980
got canceled has anyone heard an update where's he at now where she i'm on youtube i don't know
00:10:01.020
where you're supposed to and you hone the muscle of like like yeah he has like a mark zuckerberg
00:10:05.540
is there anything you wouldn't do for a challenge cut my pinky off i would not cut my pinky off for
00:10:10.940
john okay good to know that's where you draw the line yeah yeah no i would not uh disfigure my body
00:10:16.260
for a challenge which challenge has been the most difficult to pull off logistically speaking
00:10:20.100
beast games was definitely the hardest to pull off i mean beast games oh my gosh such a
00:10:24.300
how tempted do you think he is to pull off a real life hunger games
00:10:28.020
with spectators and everything which reminds me of like that everyone's so excited about the ufc
00:10:33.440
white house event every fighter's begging to be on that i'm like there's no fans there ufc why do
00:10:38.720
you want to be at the white house with a bunch of suits you want to be there with the epstein
1.00
00:10:42.780
island contestants and they're her doesn't it have hunger games vibes like a bunch of rich
0.78
00:10:48.700
like looking down they're looking down at you or like sipping tea hmm oh good fight like leonardo
00:10:55.760
dicaprio watching jango the jango slaves fight each other hmm yeah go get him you deserve a tall
0.99
00:11:02.180
beer you deserve a tall beer good boy good boy why are they begging to be at the white house
00:11:08.420
they're going to be shirtless and short shorts while the people well all these like ultra rich
00:11:14.940
investors and apex top lobby are there wow that's a good one right there how much for him
00:11:20.480
i don't get it i wonder like if mr beast wants to do a real life heart he's definitely got to
00:11:26.420
be tempted you know like a fight to the death like real life gladiator events real life gladiator
00:11:31.900
and i know if that got out people would be like oh my god that's horrible but at the same time
00:11:35.740
that's like that's some real entertainment that that's some who's gonna miss that who's not gonna
00:11:40.140
want to watch real life gladiator for a million dollars you get 20 people in arena to fight for
00:11:44.620
the death that's horrible horrible i wouldn't watch that monster of a show and season one of
00:11:52.440
beast games we broke i mean so many world records that like the stack of world records come up to
00:11:56.560
here and it's just like the biggest sets in history with the most contestants in history
00:12:00.780
with the largest cash prize in history we built a literal city in a field that the contestants
00:12:05.440
would live in between filming and when it came to execute i mean there were days where we'd have
00:12:09.300
over 2 000 people on set oh my gosh it felt like i was like the governor of a city it seems like
00:12:15.440
you're always doing a challenge you you had one last night you have one tonight yeah i'm filming
00:12:20.540
a challenge right after this do you ever get burnt out oh yeah definitely i mean i was taking a power
00:12:24.560
nap right before this interview i think the guy followed up about his daughter and she's looking
00:12:28.640
for a companion to word war debate a companion dude are you asking me to take your daughter on
00:12:34.640
a date is that what you're doing right now i'm not gonna do it and hope you could find one i don't
00:12:39.620
know like do you want me to re weird weird most months i'm probably shooting 25 days a month it's
00:12:47.980
a never-ending sprint and you're really only as good as the last piece of content you put out so
00:12:51.300
you can never you know let off the the gas no rational human would do this you would only do
00:12:55.920
this if you're madly in love with with uh what you're creating and what you're doing which is
00:13:00.840
like why it's funny when people like ask me like do you even enjoy it i'm like if i didn't enjoy
00:13:05.320
it do you think i would have given up all of my 20s to create content you know what i mean
00:13:09.000
as part of this job interview we checked your references and logan paul said he thinks you
00:13:13.960
might be a robot logan paul thinks i might be a robot yeah why do you think he said that get back
00:13:18.840
i don't know people recently have been calling me ai i i'm not really sure why i keep getting
00:13:24.920
called ai so much i'm real tell me to do something put your hand on your nose all right look and
00:13:30.040
It's not that people think you're AI, it's that they can't relate to your obsession level, right?
00:13:37.180
You have an aviator level obsession with social media and people are like, what?
00:13:46.620
And it's like, for him, I know, it's like, it's non-existent.
00:13:49.240
The guy is just lives and breathes algorithm, algorithm, social media, YouTube views.
00:13:56.840
Right. And that's why people are starting to talk about, you know, your recessed maxilla and your soulless eyes.
00:14:04.040
And I'm not saying you have that, but that's why people are like zooming in.
00:14:06.220
Look at that fake smile because they just can't comprehend that a human is like that.
00:14:11.740
Like, wow, the AI model learned how to touch his nose.
00:14:14.020
I don't know. I think it's just like an ongoing joke.
00:14:17.820
You said you keep less than one million dollars for yourself despite being a paper billionaire.
00:14:36.140
Technically, everyone watching this video has more money than me in their bank account.
00:14:39.800
If you subtract the equity value of my company, which doesn't buy me McDonald's in the morning or whatever.
00:14:44.940
But, yeah, why do I choose to keep it that way?
00:14:52.400
I don't really think about my personal bank account, if that makes sense.
00:15:03.880
One time, my fiance, she was studying in the UK
00:15:09.580
She kind of looks like Reese Witherspoon, right?
00:15:18.060
I don't live near a major airport, so like all my,
00:15:24.140
to get to places because our airport's so small one time I was like screw it I'm just gonna rent
00:15:28.760
a private jet and fly to her because I really want to see her but if I don't rent a PJ I literally
00:15:33.080
just can't make it work because but PJ flights eight hours whereas like commercial it'd be like
00:15:36.640
19 there and back it's it's like so much wasted time and that was probably like $150,000 I felt
00:15:42.900
so bad but I was like I don't know I just really want to see my fiance or at the time my girlfriend
00:15:47.980
some people argue who you marry is your most important career choice how did you know your
00:15:52.860
fiance was the one. She just obviously makes me a better person. And, you know, my whole life has
00:15:58.880
been centered around creating content and growing my company. And she's one of the first people I've
00:16:03.060
ever met that makes me a better businessman, pushes me. She has a constant thirst for knowledge
00:16:09.740
and she's always learning. You know, I think for some people that that might be boring, but to me,
00:16:13.320
that's one of the hottest things. Every successful guy says the same thing about that. Why did you
00:16:17.120
marry this woman? It's because she supports me. So many women have a hard time trying to be
0.91
00:16:21.300
secondary but they don't realize that they would have a much happier life if they just fell in line
00:16:25.620
and supported the guy that they wanted to be with you know how many how attractive you would be
00:16:30.980
to guys that you want to be with because they'll insist on being the girl boss and then want to be
1.00
00:16:36.620
with the boss but no boss wants to be with another boss it's got to be it can't be a competition
00:16:42.680
there can't be two ceos of the company it's the most obvious it's like when you see pokimane talk
00:16:48.980
every day about her ideal man and everything and this and that and all the good guys are gay and
0.86
00:16:53.480
all the good guys are this and it's just the guys that you want to be with do not want to be with
00:16:58.120
somebody who has a career like you or that acts like you or is your age or your has your beliefs
00:17:03.340
so they do this run around coat for a long time and it's really as simple as the man should be
00:17:10.720
in charge of the marriage she could do i really think she would be a fantastic support him just
0.87
00:17:17.220
support him that obviously is the big thing one day i want to have kids and just from an objective
00:17:22.080
standpoint like the success of my kids and happiness of my kids are going to be infinitely
00:17:25.920
higher because i have her as a partner in every way i have nothing but positive things to say i
00:17:29.800
mean that's why i'm marrying her you said that you were secretly testing her the first time you met
00:17:34.280
what kind of questions did this test entail well yeah i mentioned that on a podcast that uh that
00:17:40.200
uh i had like certain things i was looking for in a girlfriend and people you know clown on me
00:17:44.500
online because they're like oh he was giving yeah that's what it's like if you're peter teal
00:17:48.740
zuckerberg level of output you're not gonna be falling in love you're just gonna find a chick
00:17:54.120
that fits what you do it's like his first date was literally a job interview it was little
00:18:01.660
psychological tricks and trying to figure out how she could work within his company it's the same
00:18:07.600
thing but you can't really afford to be the falling in love and simp and get used your wife
1.00
00:18:15.140
to an extent it's gotta it's gotta work like an employee relationship women test the take it wasn't
1.00
00:18:20.660
like a test but it's just more i know what uh an ideal partner for me would be i'm not dating to
00:18:27.260
date when i date it's obviously to marry clearly i already proposed so it's not me specifically
00:18:31.620
ask her it's more like just reading her personality and who she is as a person to see if she actually
00:18:36.700
checks those boxes and i went on i don't know what was i think i went on 38 different dates
00:18:41.140
before i met tia and she was the first one that actually like checked all those boxes and that's
00:18:45.580
nigga did not go on 38 dates he had a job interview he probably had a casting call
0.99
00:18:49.880
where they came in one by one next okay stats so you're college educated hmm five seven okay
00:18:56.540
let's do a twirl nobody goes on 38 dates with 30 different 38 different women
0.89
00:19:02.740
this is what what people applying for a position in a company is i'm not hating on it i'm not
00:19:10.820
hating on it but normal people don't do this so i was like okay like this is uh i'm gonna pursue
00:19:16.720
her because that's why i went so hard after so i was like no no no it took 38 days to find someone
00:19:21.780
like i'm not giving up that easy how quickly did you know that she checked all the boxes
00:19:25.560
oh literally within an hour of talking to her he should have listened to myron gains that did 50
00:19:29.980
no but jimmy he wasn't sleeping with all these chicks on no chance and that's not like because
0.56
00:19:36.420
he couldn't he's like of course he could but he isn't he's the type of guy like he wouldn't want
00:19:40.280
to waste his energy source like why would i waste my energy source on this woman when i could be
1.00
00:19:44.500
making a challenge and counting to 100 000 he just dated he talked to them and then figured
00:19:49.940
because like a real date you're gonna like hook up with a lot of them and you know maybe see again
00:19:53.320
double text and ghost it was it was it was a job interview so it wasn't 50 notches like myron said
00:20:00.600
because you know um she told me she was an author we i just you just kind of tell even just from her
00:20:06.540
vocabulary and the way she spoke is like very educated and i could talk for hours on tia you
00:20:11.520

0.99
00:20:43.100
adorable she looks so cute which one actually impressed her more so we did a one dollar date
00:20:48.220
I think it was a $10,000, $50,000, $100,000, $255,000.
00:20:52.380
I think her favorite was the $10,000 date with Gordon Ramsay.
00:21:04.400
I think it was a red carpet event and I just DMed him
0.70
00:21:14.180
And then I pulled up and we played Rock, Paper, Scissors.
00:21:17.540
sure rock paper scissors shit yeah you beat me you've grown beast industries into a company that
0.99
00:21:23.100
probably studied your face and figured out what she was going to do something about a person he
0.98
00:21:27.340
just analyzed her and then knew exactly what she was going to i don't think that that was i don't
00:21:32.760
think that was a coincidence five billion dollars what's been the hardest lesson in scaling a
00:21:36.520
business ignorance is brutal man i really started scaling up when i was 19 20 i had no idea what i
00:21:41.780
was doing you know i was hiring a lot of local people here who had never worked in production
00:21:45.800
which is why i'm very grateful for my current ceo jeff uh jeff hausenbold he worked at i mean i
00:21:50.360
don't even know probably so why why does she have more views than you who's this wait how
1.00
00:21:54.920
what do i have on kick right now let's see the chat speed difference does this make any sense
00:22:06.520
oh wow yeah incredible seems like i'm the look it hasn't moved once
00:22:19.060
Kick, I don't know if Kickstaff's still in here.
0.99
00:22:25.300
A dozen plus companies he's been still at.
1.00
00:22:38.680
and I feel like I have a lot more to give.
0.76
00:22:41.600
I'm going to be working my ass off until I die.
00:22:44.820
I mean, in the grand scheme of things, I haven't done anything compared to what I will do, in my opinion.
00:22:58.800
So I hope it's mostly just like he did things that were a net positive for the world.
00:23:07.320
Is this what you thought success would look like at 13?
00:23:09.840
There's no world, when I was 13, I ever would have imagined that YouTube channels could get this size.
00:23:14.360
I mean, back then, the thought of a YouTube channel one day hitting 100 million subscribers would have been unfathomable.
00:23:18.860
You would have been laughed out of a room if you're like, yo, I think one day someone might hit 100 million subscribers because the numbers are so big, it wouldn't have even made sense.
00:23:28.940
It was just the Western world, mostly East Coast, West Coast, a couple of people in Brazil, a couple of Japanese people.
00:23:35.740
And then India came in and then, man, everything.
1.00
00:23:43.200
thing when i was a kid where i filmed videos and schedule uploaded them in the future
00:23:47.960
so i i scheduled uploaded a video one year in the future and try to guess how many subs i have
00:23:52.140
five years ten years high me in ten years i tried to guess my subscriber count i said i hope when
00:23:58.100
this goes he looks mid-30s it's also his maturity the way he presents himself be honest how old do
00:24:02.680
i look how old how old do i look let me crank up the lighting like give me a real real estimate
00:24:37.180
and sorry live I have a million subscribers I have obviously 430 million so 430 times below
00:24:43.680
what uh I ended up being but uh yeah no this is way more success than I ever could have imagined
00:24:49.140
so 13 year old you is going to be very proud oh yeah 100% proud
00:24:52.780
that was a good video actually that was better than I thought it was going to be
