MrBeast reveals why he had to drop the $250,000 prize fund in behind the scenes clip

MrBeast recently appeared on Jon Youshaei's YouTube channel to break down his biggest video ever.

For videos with huge production value and great content, it's always cool to get a behind-the-scenes look at how these videos are made.

If you haven't seen the video titled: 'Ages 1 - 100 Decide Who Wins $250,000,' it's a challenge video hosted by MrBeast, aka. Jimmy Donaldson.

Basically, 100 people ages 1 through 100 spend time in separate cubes and they decide who wins the cash prize of $250,000.

In a series of challenges, some contestants would have to voluntarily leave or a larger selection of people would be randomly eliminated.

In the breakdown video, Donaldson explains that the original cash prize was supposed to be $500,000.

'I think the original price was supposed to be $500,000 but as we were doing the video we went so over budget,' MrBeast explained.

'So we ended up lowering the prize pool a little bit before we filmed because we were spending way too much.'

Interestingly though, the very popular YouTuber pointed out that people don’t really notice the difference in large amounts of money.

'I've noticed whether I say 100 grand or 500 grand, no one knows the difference,' the 26-year-old added.

'To them, it's a large pile of money so we agreed $250,000.'

Any amount of money is still money at the end of the day, I suppose.

Donaldson also dives into other aspects of the video like why he chose certain shots over others, transitions and even his outfit.

Given the high production value, he decided against wearing his usual wardrobe of hoodies and shorts.

'If I was just wearing shorts and a t-shirt then it's like we have this huge multi-million dollar set. All these people in tracksuits and I'll look like I don't care,' he added.

'So I tried to start matching the environment a little more.'

MrBeast fans have been praising the behind-the-scenes video and Donaldson's directing skills.

'Today I realized that jimmy isn't just a guy that only plans videos, he is a director and a dam artist willing to make the highest quality content possible. Pure Respect,' one user commented.

'you usually don't see this side of mrbeast cause he's always running the show, but he actually pays alot of attention to detail, nice to see he isn't just a content creating machine,' another replied.

Well, Donaldson's upcoming series on Amazon Prime is going to be a lot bigger with a grand total prize of $5 million.
