      this guy seems to care about his image

      How do you know? Are you just hoping he does because it would make you feel better if you thought he was stressing about this? Rich people don’t actually give a shit. You may think they do, but they don’t. When public perception of them goes down, they can disconnect and sit on their yacht drinking Mai Tai’s for the next several months until it all blows over and the peasants have moved on to something else.

      They do not have the same worries or concerns as us. They are above it.

      But not to his account.

      If he’s even remotely smart, he put away quite a bit of money, or has some investment vehicle that keeps generating money for him.

      He may be irrelevant in 5 years, but also wealthy enough to not care.

        He owns a chocolate factory that if his image goes bad he’ll just make a different candy bar name to sell under. They sell at Walmart so you know they reach a large audience and he already is worth a shit ton, nothing will ever make him less than a multi-millionaire now. Dude can retire before 40 and laugh at all the people who think “oh they got him good now”

            Not sure what you mean? He picked a fast food chain (Zaxbys) and a large retailer (Walmart) to access as many people as possible. The chocolate tastes just fine, melting point is lower than Hershey’s, so it doesn’t make sense that they place it in a box with hot chicken and fries.

              Yeah, guess i meant i doubt Walmart chooses to sell his chocolate based on the chocolate. I mean it could be fine, but unless he’s really talented in chocolate making and extremely economical, I’m reasonably sure they’re selling a box with the name ‘Mr Beast’ on it that happens to contain chocolate. If that name ever becomes neutral or negative in driving sales, i would be shocked if they keep it based on quality.
