In his latest video, he showcased a series of extraordinary experiments that left viewers in awe. One of the most thrilling challenges featured a real-life tank engaging in a tug-of-war with school buses. The sheer power and spectacle of this event captivated millions of viewers worldwide.

Jimmy's insatiable thirst for adventure led him to undertake another daring experiment. He decided to install not one, but ten jet engines behind a supercar, igniting the imaginations of his audience. The goal was to test whether this powerful contraption could actually soar over multiple school buses placed strategically in front of a ramp. The anticipation and excitement surrounding this feat were palpable.

These captivating and extravagant experiments have garnered immense attention. Since its upload on July 14, the video has already amassed a staggering 80 million views and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, it is highly anticipated to reach the coveted hundred-million mark within a matter of days. Considering the general estimate provided by YouTube, creators can typically expect to earn between $1,200 and $6,000 for every million views on their videos. With this guideline in mind, it's clear that Jimmy's latest video is on track to generate substantial earnings. Given the tremendous viewership it has already garnered, it's safe to assume that the revenue from this video alone will be substantial.

There are various factors that come into play when determining the earnings from YouTube videos. Ads and sponsorships, for instance, play a significant role in generating revenue. Advertisements that are displayed before, during, or after a video can contribute to overall earnings. Additionally, collaborations and sponsorships with brands can further augment the revenue potential of a video.

From a real-life tank engaging in a thrilling tug-of-war challenge against school buses to a supercar equipped with ten jet engines attempting to soar over multiple buses, each experiment has left viewers awestruck. With 80 million views and counting, it's evident that the video is set for immense success in terms of both popularity and earnings. As ads and sponsorships continue to drive revenue, the financial potential of this endeavor is undeniable.

'Wait whatttt, his other brands must be carrying'

The Twitter post has ignited a flurry of responses in the digital sphere. Shared by an ardent fan of the legendary YouTuber, MrBeast, this post has unveiled a treasure trove of statistics that have left viewers in awe, with lots of replies, amplifying the excitement and sparking engaging conversations among fans and followers alike. One user wrote, "Wait whatttt, his other brands must be carrying." While another user wrote, "Now you're taking money for sponsored posts from millionaire, you're a sellout." Another user said, "So he’s earned back 6% of the cost of the video in 7 days - Rich media on a viewership timescale is generally an exponentially decreasing medium, so the odds he ever even breaks even on this is next to zero. That’s uh- not good?"

A Fourth user wrote, "But, I think videos on YouTube are a type of asset. They don't pay you instantly but with time, if your content is right, which in this case definitely is. Will get all the money back. Correct me if I'm wrong here." Another user said, "True transparency, is being financially audited."
