YouTube star Jimmy "MrBeast" recently posted a picture of the Beast Games reality show’s prize money, which was allegedly sent via bank wire transfer to its winner, revealed in the tenth and final episode. The champion, Jeffrey Randall Allen, also known as Player 831, received the promised $10 million prize.
Although the image had the recipient’s name blurred to prevent spoilers for those who hadn't watched the show yet, other details clearly showed the amount transferred from a commercial checking account, a type of account typically used by businesses and corporations.
At the beginning of Beast Games, the initial prize for the winner was set at $5 million. However, in the tenth episode, one of the six remaining contestants chose to take a risk with a coin flip that would either double the winnings or eliminate him from the competition.
Fortunately for the contestant, Player 974, the coin landed in his favor, doubling the grand prize to an astounding $10 million. Though Player 974 did not win the competition, his gamble significantly benefited the eventual winner, Jeffrey Allen.
In addition to the $10 million awarded to the last contestant standing, numerous other participants who didn’t make it to the end received rewards in different ways. According to MrBeast, a total of $20 million was distributed during the filming of Beast Games.
The first season of Beast Games was packed with dramatic and intense moments. One notable incident involved Player 952, who won an island valued at $1.8 million, accusing Player 539 of racism during the game for selecting three African women as the contestants he liked the least.
