The Unexpected and Controversial Rise of MrBeast to YouTube Superstardom

The year 2021 was not a total wash for MrBeast. Famous for lavish stunts and showering random people with cash, his main channel had grown to over 53 million subscribers, making him the fifth most subscribed channel on the entire platform. Not bad for a kid from North Carolina who apparently had no direction in life!

Moreover, he admitted on the record that he is a perfectionist regarding the production and editing of his videos. He revealed that he was going to abandon at least three videos in 2020, each of which took around $100,00 to make.
