Earlier this month, Jimmy Donaldson, otherwise known as MrBeast, posted images and videos on Twitter depicting a recreation of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Donaldson is known on YouTube as a creator who specializes in expensive stunts. MrBeast was named one of the 10 highest-paid YouTubers of 2020.
The chocolate factory is said to be at 1400 Dr. MLK Jr. Blvd in Kinston by followers of MrBeast on social media. The 19,300 square feet building on the corner of Dr. MLK Jr. Blvd and E. Highland Avenue is owned by Brooks Distributing LLC and is currently for sale for $650,000 according to the North Carolina Commercial Multiple Listing Service (NCCMLS).
