MrBeast's Beast Games ended with a dramatic finale, crowning Jeff Allen (Player 831) as the ultimate winner. He outlasted 1,000 contestants, pushed through gruelling physical and mental challenges, and walked away with what was touted as a £7.94 million ($10 million) grand prize. But the celebrations quickly turned sour when fans realised that Allen wouldn't be taking home the full amount.
A significant chunk of his winnings was swallowed by taxes, cutting his final payout nearly in half. Outraged fans accused MrBeast of misleading promotion, arguing that the advertised sum didn't come with a clear disclaimer about deductions. Others argued that Allen was still walking away with a life-changing sum, even after the tax hit. As the debate raged online, MrBeast's response was as blunt as it was dismissive—he simply wrote: 'Only.'
