    But not to his account.

    If he’s even remotely smart, he put away quite a bit of money, or has some investment vehicle that keeps generating money for him.

    He may be irrelevant in 5 years, but also wealthy enough to not care.

      He owns a chocolate factory that if his image goes bad he’ll just make a different candy bar name to sell under. They sell at Walmart so you know they reach a large audience and he already is worth a shit ton, nothing will ever make him less than a multi-millionaire now. Dude can retire before 40 and laugh at all the people who think “oh they got him good now”

          Not sure what you mean? He picked a fast food chain (Zaxbys) and a large retailer (Walmart) to access as many people as possible. The chocolate tastes just fine, melting point is lower than Hershey’s, so it doesn’t make sense that they place it in a box with hot chicken and fries.

            Yeah, guess i meant i doubt Walmart chooses to sell his chocolate based on the chocolate. I mean it could be fine, but unless he’s really talented in chocolate making and extremely economical, I’m reasonably sure they’re selling a box with the name ‘Mr Beast’ on it that happens to contain chocolate. If that name ever becomes neutral or negative in driving sales, i would be shocked if they keep it based on quality.

              Yeah Walmart is a reseller. They will only sell products that will make them money in some manner. As far as I know the Chocolate is made in Peru, and the original recipe was more like you likely wanted, but a lot of people in the U.S. don’t like chocolate that isn’t as sweet. They changed from “good” chocolate to chocolate more people like in the states, and that’s all know really. Other than I wish the crunch bar had more crunch, but the chocolate part of the crunch bar is better in my opinion.
