GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: MrBeast, the YouTube sensation, weighs in on esports as he expresses shock at FaZe Clan's low market value.
The world of online influencers and esports organizations often intertwines in intriguing ways, and this was made evident when YouTube sensation MrBeast recently expressed astonishment at FaZe Clan's publicly listed market value.
The YouTube star, renowned for his jaw-dropping content and ever-growing subscriber count, found himself taken aback by the numbers behind one of the most prominent names in esports.
FaZe Clan's low market value leaves MrBeast stunned
MrBeast, who boasts an impressive 200 million subscribers and is on the brink of becoming the most followed individual on multiple platforms, including TikTok, has amassed not only fame but also a substantial fortune through his content creation.
His commitment to producing top-quality videos occasionally leads him to invest millions in a single project.
However, even someone as financially influential as MrBeast was surprised by the revelation that FaZe Clan's market value was considerably lower than anticipated.
On October 16, Dexerto reported a remarkable 25% surge in FaZe Clan's stock price following their victory in the Halo World Championship. The article made FaZe's market valuation public.
In response to this eye-catching development, MrBeast took to Twitter, where he playfully called on fellow YouTuber and FaZe Clan member Rug to consider purchasing the esports organization.
"Does that say it's worth 17M?" inquired the 25-year-old, wondering if FaZe Clan's own star, 'Rug,' could potentially buy the organization.
"Couldn't you just buy FaZe at this point? lol," MrBeast mused in his tweet.
Rug, the FaZe Clan member who found himself at the center of this playful exchange, responded to MrBeast's tweet by suggesting a 50/50 ownership arrangement, adding a laughing emoji to underscore the friendly banter between the two YouTube powerhouses.
'MrBeast would definitely pull this off'
The mere notion of a popular YouTuber making such a move elicited a wave of reactions from fans who toyed with the idea of MrBeast purchasing FaZe Clan.
One user wrote, "Two weeks from now we’re gonna see a YouTube video titled “I bought faze, last one to leave the island gets the entire company” Mr.Beast would definitely pull this off," while another said, "I don’t think Mr. Beast realizes how much richer he is than other influencers. "
Another user wrote, "Hes gonna get rugged."
The fourth user suggested, "Couldn’t YOU just buy Faze?."
