"I'm literally living the life of 13 year old me": MrBeast Squid Game video's success has the creator in disbelief

MrBeast had kept the internet hooked on to him with the news of his Squid Game video, and it has finally been released. The video, which was released on November 24, had been much awaited by the community, who had been eagerly waiting for more information ever since MrBeast announced it early in October.

Now, a day after the video has been out for public consumption, the streamer shared the incredible amount of success it has seen so far and even the philanthropist himself is in awe.

The streamer expressed his immense gratitude, suggesting that he was living the life that his 13-year-old self could have only dreamed of.

MrBeast Squid Game video hits 42M views in less than 24 hours

Obviously, the fact that MrBeast's Squid Game video would see immense success was not something unexpected. However, even the streamer did not expect the video to hit 42 million views within 24 hours of it being released.

Incidentally, the trailer video for the original Netflix show has 42 million views, 2 months after being released on YouTube.

Appreciation and congratulations kept pouring in for the philanthropist for his latest achievement.

MrBeast spent a huge amount of money on the video and did not shy away from revealing the amount. Allegedly, the streamer spent over $2 million building the sets and games for the Squid Game video. This almost led to the streamer being canceled on the internet, as people believed that he was not spending his money in the right manner.

Despite the many obstacles, MrBeast managed to release the much awaited video, and it has received the exact response that people anticipated. As of now, the video has almost 55M views and over 6.2M likes.
