A popular YouTuber, Jimmy Donaldson (A.K.A. #MrBeast), rejected a $1 BILLION offer for his YouTube channel and company.
Here's why 👉
Here's why 👉
1) His YouTube channel gives him happiness
Jimmy enriches the lives of tens of millions of people EVERY DAY by making his unique ideas a reality.
Fans watch his content and appreciate his efforts.
He could trade it all for $1B, but a paycheque won't give him fulfillment.

2) He would have to start working for someone else
Money isn't worth it when you might be stuck working for a boss you hate.
Currently he has the freedom to do whatever he wants with his channel. He can give away $10k/video or not make a video for a month.
Freedom > money.

3) His brand is an ASSET
He owns the rights to his brand. His community gives him the ability to do WHATEVER HE WANTS.
Giving it away would mean someone else owns bis brand. He would have to continue working for a paycheque (based on the offer).

4) He wants to delay gratification
His exact words were "In the future it could be worth way more."
When asked how much he would accept, he said "This is gonna sound dumb, but probably like $10 billion, $20 billion."
I don't think he would sell even if the offer was that high!
