I mean I haven't seen his tax returns but from what he says, he spends 100%+ of revenue on the next video. I'm not sure if you are unaware of that claim or just don't believe it.

Sure he is extremely generous to his employees, but that would also fall under altruism...

I mean I googled "mr beast merch shop" and now I'm pretty sure it does, so dunno why you throw that claim without checking literally anything

Merch revenue is revenue - Video sponsorship revenue is revenue - Product placement revenue ... revenue - Adsense revenue is well not much revenue.

But wasn't the claim he spends 100% of the revenue from video into the next ? As in just directly from video ?
