GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: MrBeast, a well-known YouTuber and philanthropist, has amassed a considerable reputation thanks to his attention-getting videos and substantial charitable activities. The challenges, stunts, and humanitarian activities that MrBeast features frequently involve substantial financial investments.
In one of his recent YouTube videos, MrBeast was seen selling a brand new $14K Rolex watch at a much cheaper price of $7,200 to a pawn shop. The video gained quite a lot of popularity on the online platform and fans had mixed reactions.
The $14K Rolex watch
When he bought the watch at the store, it cost him slightly about $14,000. It was made of gold. Just think of spending that much on a watch. Then he entered a pawnshop, which was renowned for demanding a lot of money from customers. So you're just your typical pawnbroker now?
The pawnbroker looked at the watch after MrBeast had already paid $14,000 for it and gave him a pitiful $7,000 offer—less than half of what he had just paid. Although MrBeast made an attempt to counteroffer, his demand wasn't very contentious.
He requested $8,500 rather than the watch's full asking price. So, I'm just resolving to lose this game. In the end, he was able to work out a deal with the pawnbroker for $7,200. Surprisingly, he expressed real happiness about the outcome, saying that the deal had netted him an extra $200.
‘Bro just paid pawn shop's rent for a couple of months’
The YouTube short has garnered more than 65 million views and is filled with different types of comments from fans. A fan mentioned that “Bro just paid pawn shop's rent for a couple of months” whereas another one commented, “Jimmy's the type of person who gets a loss of about $6800 and still calls it a profit.”
Another fan commented saying, “Pawn shops will give you half on an item they expect to sit on the shelf for a while, Rolex being one of those things” whereas another one said, “Pawn Shops never give you what you paid for or what the item is worth. They are in the business making money.”
