Squid Game is one of Netflix’s most successful TV shows ever produced, and it’s not hard to see why. The second season is more nail-biting than ever, but what happened in between season one and season two’s release was actually wilder. YouTube legend MrBeast recreated the entire Squid Game set for his own Beast Games series which aired earlier in December on Amazon Prime, and it came with a HUGE prize win of $5,000,000 and no risk of death which is always a plus. Despite breaking the world record for the largest cash prize in TV history, the show’s budget is even more impressive, especially compared with Squid Game season one’s budget.

The budget for Squid Game season one was approximately $21.4 million, with each episode getting around $2.4 million for production. After it was released it became Netflix’s highest-streamed show ever. Woop!

Here’s how much more Beast Games cost

The first two episodes of Beast Games were released on Amazon last week, with thousands of dollars worth of cash prizes already being given out in the first episode alone. The insane budget of Beast Games set MrBeast back $100 million dollars, and that doesn’t even include the prize money and wild gifts he’s giving away, including a Lamborghini and a private island. That means MrBeast spent nearly FIVE TIMES the amount on Beast Games than Netflix spent on the actual show, Squid Game.

Contestants have the opportunity to win vast amounts of money during each episode of the series, with one member being offered an opportunity to quit the show on the spot and get given $80,000, but as a consequence, the rest of their row is eliminated too.

MrBeast revealed some of the records the show had managed to break on his Instagram, revealing Beast Games had broken 50 Guinness World Records in total.
