MrBeast's producer explains how they sourced and prepared $5 million in cash for a video pyramid prop. A crew member called the Money Man calculated the cash's density and weight. Crumpling each bill took three seconds, and the labor and equipment costs alone ran into tens of thousands of dollars.
How do you guys find $5 million in cash to stack up on a pyramid? We had this guy who was literally in charge of the money. We even credited him in the credits as Money Man. I knew that I can call him and go, "How much density does this amount of money cover? How much weight is this?" Also, crumple the money. It takes 3 seconds to crumple a bill. It's tens of thousands of dollars to crumple dollars depending on how much you need, and labor and service and hands getting cramped up and having to sub people out. It's crazy.
