The surgeon who worked with MrBeast on the famous video also opened up.
Revealing that he almost didn’t take part!
The infamous YouTube video showed him curing 1,000 people of their blindness.
And this hasn’t been Beast’s only achievement …
He had already been named the richest YouTube creator by Forbes…
And he’s also recently become the most subscribed YouTube channel, beating out Pewdiepie.
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is never one to mince his words.
Especially when it comes to money.
On an episode of the Full Send Podcast, he gave his opinion on TikTok…
Including his prediction for the app.
MrBeast was asked if TikTok would eventually take over his beloved YouTube…
He explained: “I thought the same but YouTube Shorts, they’ve really taken some huge strides.”
The reason? Money, of course!
“So starting in January, if you get like, hypothetically, a billion views on TikTok, whatever that is, that’s like $1,000. A billion views over here on YouTube? I mean, that could literally make you like $100,000,” MrBeast said.
The host then asked: “Is TikTok going to adapt to that, you think?”
To which MrBeast replied: “Yeah, I think they’re going to be forced to.”
He was also asked what he thought this meant for the biggest TikTok stars.
“Charli [D’Amelio], Addison [Rae] – all these people, if they can just literally do what they’re doing but over on YouTube and make a bag off of shorts and then on top of that, that boosts long form which makes even more money, you’re gonna be crazy to be a TikTok first content creator,” MrBeast said.
The YouTuber admitted that he sees a mass migration to YouTube Shorts in the future.
Where they will be able to, “‘gain subs, get more views on your long-form, and make f****** money.”
“You really think TikTok over here printing tens of billions of dollars is just overnight going to go, ‘You know what? Half of these tens of billions, we’re just gonna give it away.’
“All I’m saying is, once this Partner Program kicks into effect on Shorts, I think you’re gonna see a lot of big TikTokers coming over here,” he said.
And it’s clear MrBeast is enjoying the spoils of YouTube content creation…
He recently revealed a shocking income source to the world…
He has been paid $250,000 in the past for personalized videos for billionaire’s kids!
Now that’s got to be the easiest money ever, right?
According to Forbes, the twenty-four-year-old earned USD $54 million in 2021, with his net worth currently being USD $25 million.
Beast then hit another huge milestone…
MrBeast is officially the most subscribed YouTuber ever!
He has overtaken the previous titleholder, PewDiePie, and has 111 million subscribers and counting!
And MrBeast’s latest video shows he wants to give back.
In the video, he explains that for many blind people, a simple procedure can help restore their sight.
But MrBeast can!
“Half of all the blindness in the world is people who need a 10-minute surgery,” a doctor explains in the video.
“If you’re wondering how the surgery allows people to see again, it’s because the lens in their eyes is so cloudy that they can’t see through it.”
“So the surgeon uses a tiny vacuum to suck up the clouded lens. And replace it with an artificial one. The surgery is that simple! They can see again.”
In the emotional video, 1,000 people have their sight restored through this procedure.
One man said, “I can see everybody’s faces now – a little blurry with my tears coming out.”
One fan has done the calculations as to exactly how much this all cost MrBeast.
First caveating that the sum depends “on several factors such as location, type of procedure, insurance coverage and surgeon experience.”
“Assuming an average cost of $5,000 per eye, the cost of curing 1,000 people’s blindness would be $5 million,” they revealed.
Though, “this estimate is rough and can vary greatly depending on the specific circumstances of each patient. It is best to consult with healthcare providers and insurance companies for more accurate cost estimates.”
However, some people took umbrage with the concept of the video.
One stated: “It’s deeply frustrating to have to rely on a benevolent content king making feel-good videos, rather than addressing the root causes of these problems.”
Another added : “You are not, & will never be, the last rich person to use their wealth to also buy them social capital, while demanding your position grants you to be worshipped by uncritical impoverished people.
“You’re not special, you’re literally textbook rich white man with a god complex.”
However, MrBeast addressed the controversy.
He said: “Twitter – Rich people should help others with their money. Me – Okay, I’ll use my money to help people and I promise to give away all my money before I die. Every single penny. Twitter – MrBeast bad.”
The surgeon who collaborated with MrBeast also revealed BTS secrets from the video.
Including that it almost didn’t happen!
Dr. Levenson admitted: “I had never heard of MrBeast so, I almost hung up. But I gratefully did not hang up.”
We bet the participants are glad, too!
And in spite of the controversy, MrBeast certainly hit an impressive milestone.
He shared a statistic on Twitter which is making people lose their minds.
He posted: “Our Youtube channel has reached 616,000,000 different people in the last 90 days.
“Almost 10% of the world.”
MrBeast also recently revealed a brand new ambition.
He wants to be the CEO of YouTube!
He responded to a Tweet saying “YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki is stepping down.”
Best replied: “Can I be CEO?”
But this week, MrBeast is looking to the future.
He revealed on the Lex Fridman podcast that he has videos scheduled for after he dies!
The YouTuber said: “There are some that are scheduled like 20 years in the future, and so, if I don’t die, I’ll just move ’em up.
“And I remember… ‘Cause I filmed these though like seven years ago, but it was… I remember saying a line like, ‘If I’m dead, then I’m currently just in a coffin’, and like whatever, blah, blah.
“Because the only way the video would go up is if I’m not alive.
“And if I’m not alive, then I won’t be able to push back the scheduled upload dates so it’ll go public automatically.
“And so, yeah, I have a couple of those.”
He also revealed he would not give up YouTube even in the face of death!
He added: “If I knew I was gonna die of cancer or something, and I had like three months to live, I would vlog every day.
“I’d film so many videos, and then I would just schedule upload a video a week for the next five years, so it’s like I’m still alive, and I would completely act like I’m still alive and everything, and I think something like that would be cool.
“I don’t know why but I’ve fantasized… Not fantasized, but I’ve dreamt about that a lot.”
