He hilariously analyzed, “Last year Bill Gates made 33 million dollars per day just let that sink in. The average American household brings in fifty two thousand dollars per year let me just do that math real quick.”

Then he pretended to calculate using his phone and said, “All right so let me open up my calculator. All right fifty two thousand a year (+) Bill Gates (+) thirty three million (+) why does my life suck it would take over six hundred years for the average American to make what Bill Gates makes in a day.”

While shooting the video MrBeast did a segment on how Bill Gates made his own fortune by manifesting his life. He said “Bill Gates was in high school he was actually bragging to his teachers about how we’d be a millionaire. It’s funny because the people in my class just want to piss off the teacher.”

He then further added, “If Bill Gates was to live to be 90 and stop making money today he’d had to spend six million dollars every single day to use up all his wealth before he died.”
