Beast Games Winner Breaks The Silence On $10 Million Prize Tax Dilemma!

Jeffrey Randall Allen, the victor of Beast Games and also known as Player 831, has finally addressed the tax situation surrounding his $10 million prize. Fans were left shocked when they learned just how much of the prize money Allen could be forced to hand over to the government.

The Personal Motivation Behind the Win

Allen, who took home the grand prize earlier this month, originally joined Beast Games with a personal mission. He wanted to raise awareness and funding for research into creatine transporter deficiency (CTD), a rare genetic disorder that his young son, Lucas, suffers from. Lucas’ condition prevents his brain and muscles from receiving creatine, a vital substance for energy, leading to delayed milestones and other developmental challenges.

Allen’s success on the Beast Games show, where he defeated 999 other contestants, was not just about the money. It was about making a difference for his son and others with the same rare illness.

The Shocking Reality of Taxes

While winning $10 million seems like a dream come true, the reality of the tax burden quickly set in. During an appearance on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, Allen shared the shocking details about the taxes he would need to pay. He explained that MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) does not withhold taxes when he distributes the prize money, meaning that Allen was handed the full $10 million, but would have to manage taxes himself.

“I think it all depends on what I do with the money this year,” Allen explained. He added that if the money just sat in his bank account, he could face a tax bill as high as $5 million.

Fan Reactions to the Tax Bill

Fans of Beast Games have been vocal about the steep taxes Allen could face. Many were outraged at the idea of losing half of his prize money to the government, with one fan saying, “That’s ridiculous, I’d hand it back.” Another fan suggested, “There should be a law about Beast Games show winnings and lottery. The government steals so much, it’s disgusting.”

Despite the frustration, Allen’s story remains a testament to his commitment to his son’s cause, and fans are eagerly awaiting how he chooses to manage his winnings.
