While interacting with the business magazine recently, after entering the 30 under 30 list, MrBeast mentioned that as of now, he just wants to “focus on making a company that is dope.” It clearly implies that his studio will also keep growing further while gaining a bigger value.

One can’t deny that the probability of him hitting the billion-dollar mark in valuation is inevitably higher. Now, it’s only a matter of time.
