MrBeast and MIT Research Scientist Lex Fridman recently appeared on a podcast together where they discussed the topics of content creation, social media platforms, and much more.

He continued, “But those first… That first day, we do six figures in sales, and they all sell out, and they’re running to local Walmarts. They can’t keep up with the demand. It’s like, ‘Okay, well, maybe let’s just leave it open a week, whatever,’ and we’re just doing crazy revenue. And it’s like, ‘Okay, well, let’s add some more restaurants, and let’s just leave ’em open for a month.’ And we’re just still doing six figures a day. And it kind of just went from this thing that was… I don’t know, it wasn’t really… I didn’t really plan on running a restaurant chain, but here I am.”
Evidently, the business shared over $100 million in revenue with restaurants as per MrBeast’s tweet in July 2022. And now that the chain has numerous outlets and a physical restaurant in American Dream, one can safely assume the business to earn more than $100 million alone.
