During one of his questions, Marques asked MrBeast about how his mother felt when he told her that he was doing YouTube. To which MrBeast replied that his mother was actually happy that her son was not mad and was always talking to himself in his room, but rather makes videos for people. But she was also upset by the fact that MrBeast doesn’t want to go to school and rather wants to make videos only.

He said, “Well, my mom was like, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s not crazy.’ Cause she would always think I was just talking to random people in my room or just like talking to myself when I was recording videos.” He further added, “So she kind of had a hunch, and then she’s like, ‘But why?’ And she’s like, ‘Your grades suck. Can we like start spending more time on school and less on videos?’ And I was like, ‘No, I want to spend less time on school and more time on videos.’ So, my mom just wanted what was best for me, but it was pretty brutal at the start.”

Later, he mentioned that his mom finally started accepting his choice at the moment when he had a brand deal that was more than her entire salary. In fact, she further motivated her son to keep doing what he does best and even pitched to join in his work. As of now, his mother is happy and proud of his achievements, as she only wanted the best for him.

Additionally, MrBeast also asked Marques if he was comfortable sitting on $200,000, or if not he can spread his legs to keep on another $400,000. Notably, this was just an editing trick done by the team to make it really hilarious, as from not wanting to attend school, to donating millions of dollars to them, MrBeast came a long way.
