The prize money for the Beast Games was $10,000,000

The winning contestant of MrBeast’s craziest gameshow yet wasn’t awarded the full $10,000,000 in prize money.

Amazon Prime Video’s Beast Games has finally reached a conclusion with ‘the largest cash prize in TV history’ being up for grabs.

1,000 contestants battled it out, as MrBeast – real name Jimmy Donaldson – promised to give ‘away a private island, Lamborghinis, and millions more in cash throughout the competition’, which had a whopping £79,600,000 budget.

The 26-year-old spent £11,950,000 million to build ‘Beast City’, in Toronto, Canada, and also gave away upwards of £25 million to contestants throughout the show.

However, it was Jeff Allen, known as Player 831, who came out on top and was announced as the winner of the $10,000,000 competition.

That being said, he was ‘only’ awarded $5.03 million after taxes, as MrBeast himself pointed out.

Responding to an article with the headline: “The winner of MrBeast’s $10,000,000 ‘Beast Games’ prize will only receive $5.03 million after taxes,” he tweeted ‘Only’.

This received a mix of comments over on X, as one person commented: “They won a life changing amount of money.”

“The taxes are INSANE but I would gladly settle for $5 million.”

Although others were a little less forgiving to the US tax system.

“Congrats to the IRS for winning beast games. They spent a lot of time and hard work getting there!” another sarcastically wrote.

“Yeah, only. You have 10 million and they only got half,” a third added.

“So it’s only relative to the stated amount.

“This is about how bad taxes are, not you.”

“How does it feel to pay $10m knowing $5m will go straight to the tax man… when you know you already just paid tax on it… Seems horrible,” a fourth person complained.

Someone else also pointed out: “Only is right…MrBeast is basically gifting someone $5M and the government $5M.

“But when you really think about it, MrBeast had to make $13M so he could give the government 30% toward income tax.

“So the government got $8M in this deal.”

“My goal is to make the greatest show possible and prove YouTubers and creators can succeed on other platforms,” MrBeast, the host and executive producer, told Amazon prior to the show.

“Amazon gave me the creative control I need to try and make it happen. I hope to make the YouTube community proud.”

Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the critics have given it an underwhelming 13 per cent, while the audience scored it 89 per cent. Quite the difference.
