Before winning, Allen expressed his intention to use his prize money to assist in finding a cure for a rare brain disease, CTD, which affects his 7-year-old son, Lucas, who was diagnosed at the age of two.
Despite the monumental win, tax implications mean that Allen will ultimately receive approximately $5 million instead of the full $10 million prize. MrBeast addressed these concerns, clarifying the financial aspects following the finale.
