MrBeast’s Beast Games has taken the world by storm since its release on December 19, 2024, with 1,000 contestants competing for a grand prize worth over $5 million.
But the budget behind the show is equally impressive, with a reported total of $100 million.
A $14 Million City
A key part of the production was the creation of Beast City, a fake city designed specifically for the show. This city, which serves as the contestants’ home base, cost an eye-watering $14 million to construct.
Complete with roundabouts and mini chalets, Beast City provides everything the contestants need, from food to accommodation.
Prize Money and Extras
While the grand prize stands at $5 million, MrBeast has given away over $15 million in additional prizes.
For example, contestants can quit the game on the spot and receive $80,000—but this results in the elimination of their entire row.
Guinness World Records
Beast Games has already made history, earning two Guinness World Records. The first was for the “most money given away in a first episode,” and the second for the “largest island given away in a show.” These records highlight just how massive the show’s budget is.
Total Cost
When you factor in the cost of the fake city, the prize money, filming equipment, salaries, and other production expenses, the total budget of Beast Games has reached an incredible $100 million.
It’s clear that MrBeast spared no expense in creating this monumental show.
