MrBeast is undoubtedly one of the most well-known personalities in the current sphere of YouTube. He is the biggest independent creator on the platform, with more than 112 million subscribers. MrBeast is a name that has turned into a brand, which can make any product successful in the market just by slapping the logo. 

This massive following and reputation is a double-edged sword for the young millionaire influencer. He has made his colossal enterprise with hard work and determination and gained the trust and love of his community with his own charms. But sometimes this worldwide influence gets misused by other people who are just there to make a quick buck.

But gladly this time it is not the case, well sort kind of… YouTuber WillNE, who has around 4.76 Million subscribers on YouTube, made a knock-off MrBeast Merchandise collection and sold it to the fans with a big profit. Though he made the big man aware of his shenanigans, he claims that his knock-offs were so authentic looking that even MrBeast couldn’t recognize them. 

How WillNE managed to make $700,000 from knock-off MrBeast merchandise

This out-of-this-world number lets Jimmy make some larger-than-life videos. Recently in a video, Jimmy brought some big YouTubers for a challenge where they have to place their hands on a private jet. And whoever keeps their hands on the jet till the end wins it. 

In the video, one of the contestants of the challenge was WillNE. He accepted from the beginning he didn’t have the patience or the will to win the challenge, so he intended to use MrBeast for profit in a different way. WillNE bought a domain very similar to the official website of MrBeast merch store.

In the store, he sold knock-off MrBeast merch that, according to him, even fooled Jimmy himself (but the members of the MrBeast team don’t agree with his claims). This idea had a very fruitful result, as WillNE made around $700,000 in revenue from the merchandise sales that helped pay his mortgage.
