MrBeast responds to accusation of not sending meager amount to Beast Games winner after sharing $10 million wire transfer

Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, has responded after he was accused by an X user of not sending the full amount to the Beast Games Season 1 winner. The accusation came after the YouTuber turned showrunner shared a screenshot of the wire transfer. For context, player #831 Jeffrey Randall Allen secured a total of $10,004,244 after winning the grand finale of Beast Games in Episode 10 on February 13, 2025.

In a post on X dated February 14, MrBeast shared a screenshot of the bank transfer of $10 million that was sent to Jeffrey with the following caption:

"Just bank wired the winner of Beast Games $10,000,000 lol"

This led one X user to question Jimmy about how the winnings that were shared towards the end of Beast Games Season 1 Episode 10 show that Jeffrey Randall Allen won more money in total than $10 million.

"Hey MrBeast where is the other 4k dollars??" asked the X user @NemTudo.

MrBeast promptly responded to the accusation, clarifying that all of the money sent to the participants was on a per-episode-basis and that the screenshot of the bank wire was the payment that the Beast Games winner got from Episode 10. The YouTube star further noted that the rest of the money, $4,244, was won by player #831 on Episode 8 and was thus sent separately:

"Each episode is a separate transaction! So that $4k was paid for episode 8 and the $10M was paid in the episode 10 batch."
