In under 48 hours the roughly hour-long video was nearing 100 million. 2) One billion minutes: viewers watched more than 1 billion minutes combined, averaging over 20 minutes each, and more than 10,000 comments called it the channel's best video.
3) From $250,000 to $1 million: the challenge began with MrBeast buying a grocery store and offering $250,000 to the last person inside. After 67 days, four contestants refused to leave, so he restocked the shelves and raised the prize to $1 million if the group cleared the store. 4) 4.3 million calories: that was the total to get through, with spoiled food deducted from the prize; guests could help and donations counted. 5) 202 days and 6,614 wasted calories: the length of the challenge and the only waste recorded.
6) $248,346, a truck and an excavator: that is what Juan García, a 56-year-old Mexican immigrant and father of six, took home; he entered with his son Ángel, who later left to go back to school. He also won a ring for his wife and says he wants to build a home for his family. 7) $40,000 extra: on day 100, MrBeast gave $10,000 to each finalist's family. 'After 17 years of making content, I believe my best days are ahead,' the YouTuber wrote.
