Over the past decade, MrBeast built a social media empire off unimaginable challenges and extravagant giveaways, becoming one of YouTube’s biggest stars.

MrBeast’s business is
notoriously opaque, but was recently beset by a series of leaks from a disgruntled former employee.

To help
shine a light on one of the internet’s most famous celebrities, the Daily Dot filed public records requests in Roswell, Georgia and Greenville, North Carolina, where MrBeast has filmed and lives.

These
behind-the-scenes documents show his collaboration with local governments, which MrBeast relies on for locations, permits, staffing, equipment, and problem-solving. 

MrBeast has filmed in unique public spaces, including former prisons, closed-off streets, and universities. He has used local police as extras, requiring them to sign NDAs. And the mayor of his hometown will respond directly to disgruntled residents. 

The Daily Dot obtained over 1,000 emails from 2021-2024 between MrBeast’s team and government officials, which discussed invoices, the roles of cops, and backlash to his viral stunts.
