Beast Games is definitely one of the most ambitious web show projects. Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, has grown from his humble beginnings on YouTube to become one of the biggest influencers in the world, and now he’s upping the ante with Beast Games. The show will include 10 episodes and one qualifying episode and will be released on his YouTube channel. Beast Games won $5 million in prize money, setting a record for the highest prize money in reality television history.
The show airs on Amazon Prime Video and combines high-stakes challenges, big prizes, and Donaldson’s signature spectacle. But behind the stunning visuals and fierce competition lies an equally impressive production budget. While the $5 million prize is impressive in itself, it dwarfs the reported cost of the entire show.
Beast Games reportedly cost $100 million.
According to Business Insider, MrBeast confirmed that Beast Games cost $100 million to make. Donaldson is known for pushing the boundaries of online content, and that’s evident in Beast Games’ budget. One of the main cost factors was the large set construction and challenge. According to SoapCentral, Amazon and Jimmy teamed up to create Beast City for the Toronto, Canada-based show.
Filming Beast Game required top-notch cinematography, state-of-the-art equipment, and a crew capable of realizing Donaldson’s vision. In addition to the production, the show’s huge prize money and contestant compensation also added to the big expenses. Finally, the cost of marketing and distributing the show through Amazon is another important factor.
But despite the huge budget, Beast Games has retained the element of Jimmy and the team that has made them a global icon. In addition to Donaldson, the show will feature Nolan, Carl, Tarek, Mack and Chandler as presenters. Although the show has been embroiled in some controversy, there is no doubt that Beast Games has made its mark in history with its lavish budget and prizes.
