“If you talk to Elon when he was 24, I mean which company was he on maybe PayPal at the time obviously that’s not his legacy, and so I think what I do in the next 10 years is completely different or not completely different but could be completely different than what I’m doing 20 years from now 30 years from now because the opportunity is kind of limitless you know if we manage to stay the largest YouTube channel in the world for the next five to ten years, and you know to get it to where everyone knows me and we do end up building other companies,” said MrBeast.

He added, “with that money and attention, there are a lot of things I could do afterwards that might be bigger than what I’m doing currently because how old’s Elon like 50. He’s literally over double my age, so I could take every hour I’ve lived up to this point in Times by two, and I’d still just be Elon’s age you know I mean so I have an infinite amount of time left in the game.”
