What was said

"I think I ended up spending over a million dollars just on aggregating and casting and background checks and everything and then putting it out there so people could vote on it."

MrBeast revealed the extraordinary expense of casting for Beast Games season 3, which featured one contestant from every country on Earth—approximately 200 people. To avoid accusations of bias, he recruited multiple candidates from each country and allowed citizens to vote on their representative. The casting budget alone exceeded $1 million, not including production costs.
