Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, announced that the winner of the game show “Beast Games” will not receive the full $10,000,000 prize.
After the airing of the last episode of the Prime Video game show “Beast Games,” host MrBeast revealed that the winner of the show would not receive the full $10,000,000 prize.
Jeff Allen, known as player 831, defeated 999 other contestants and won the multi-million dollar prize. However, as the host pointed out, Jeff only received $5.03 million after taxes.
A post on X, formerly Twitter, had the headline: “Winner of the $10,000,000 prize from ‘Beast Games’ will only receive $5.03 million after taxes.”
The YouTuber joked about the word “only” in the post. The comment sparked many reactions from his followers.
“He won an amount that can change lives,” observed one of them. “The taxes are insane, but I’d happily take $5 million,” commented another.
Some criticized the U.S. tax system. “This is about how absurd taxes are, not about you,” argued one person.
A thousand contestants competed for luxury prizes like a private island, Lamborghinis, and $31.5 million, which was distributed throughout the competition, which had a massive budget of about $100 million.
