Quotes

• I want to be the biggest YouTube channel ever. Not even for my ego. It just gives me something to strive for, to get out of bed and grind for. But it’s also just vanity.
• I don't party. I barely have friends. And there is a risk: I look back when I'm 50 and I'm like, 'Damn, I literally only did that one thing and nothing else.'

• I'm borrowing money. That's how little money I have. Technically, everyone watching this video has more money than me in their bank account if you subtract the equity value of my company, which doesn't buy me McDonald's in the morning.
  • Burleigh, Emma. "Despite his $2.6 billion net worth, MrBeast says he's having to borrow cash and doesn't even have enough money in his bank account to buy McDonald's". Fortune.
