How Much Does Gumball 3000 Really Cost?

[@theporscheclubuk1627]

That video just sums up everything about James and his bloggs open and honest and no bull shit . Nice to hear a wealthy person talk openly about cost on the gum ball . And the cost to him personally. One of the genuine guys on utube 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@theporscheclubuk1627]

John Cunningham also see lots never raised a penny interesting reading

[@aabidamn]

And he explains it not in a douchey way.

[@craigwilliams7683]

Fair play to his old man who established the family business and is a self made millionaire. James is clearly reaping the rewards of his dads endeavours. You have to feel sorry for the factory workers though who are probably paid minimum wage and possibly watching this guy spend £60k plus like it’s pocket change,

[@simonmichell2849]

Thanks for sharing that, I also note that a lot of participants donated nothing at all. How mean considering the wealth of these people.

[@Raptorlifts]

9:40 for the cost of gumball.

[@tbillington]

You're the real MVP

[@xuchia117]

Thanks

[@cubamerica21]

Oh God thank u

[@clown6994]

Steven B thanks brother for saving our time

[@tyleredwards9275]

The hero we don’t deserve

[@botchok5]

£60,000 to drive your supercar across the world, party, hot girls, networking with other business people and potentially negotiate a business deal, make millions? Sounds like a bargain to me.

[@rajasultan7473]

😂😂😂

[@zumezoom9593]

Not to sound like an ass.... Hahahahahahahahaha lol talk is cheap actually doing it and showing for it is the fucking deal. Are you the 1%?i know for a fact I'm not, but that's OK. 2022 today. Hope this year Gumball 3000 is as awesome as all the other years! Stay safe and have fun!

[@M5Ak]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@DannyIsSoFly]

YESS PLEASE MAKE SUNGLASSES FOR US!

[@jesperfortuin2413]

Lord Brathwaite price will be a factor of buying for me though

[@DannyIsSoFly]

Jesper Fortuin that’s true! Hopefully they’re decently priced, I really dig his style and would enjoy some bespoke looking specs like his own.

[@Hello_riders_1993]

English class and modern design. That's the way to do it. Oh... I just described James

[@peacelover4403]

i found out what happened to parker.mobile.twitter.com/hooviesgarage?lang=en

[@will3346]

What kind of sunglasses are those that he wears

[@dazom]

thats why I am subscribed to you and followed you for a long time now. You are a very honest KZbinr, no fluff just great content!

[@dazom]

Same here. He always made sure to have a connection with his audience, from day one!

[@YevgenRomanenko]

Same here! Its not like that shit "hello guys I'm Shmeeeee and here is my teeth"

[@TallDrink911]

This video exudes class and character. No unnecessary shots or overreactions or poor acting, just an honest guy in front of supercars outside a nice hotel answering questions with sincere thoughtfulness and insight.

[@CadillacToothdeville]

Kyle LaCroix The opposite of Parker.

[@ellisd82]

Thank you so much for the open and honest content. Some people don't like to talk money, which I understand, be you sir are a Gent and amazing creator on KZbin. Just wanted to show my appreciation.

[@MrJWW]

Thanks for the support bro

[@samieb155]

Interesting stuff as always, thanks for sharing this.

[@swalling22]

Love the way you speak and handle yourself. Very professional 👌 keep it up man

[@roogrey]

Honestly, your channel blows all the others off the road. Thank you for getting into the honest-to-God detail with this one. Of course it's obvious that a trip like this is beyond the reach of most of us, but you have managed to make it relatable and make us feel a part of it - for FREE! Your all-hours commitment to that task is much appreciated, and I for one am really looking forward to hearing your 'big' news. Given everything you've done with this channel so far it must be massive! Your success is well deserved, James. I hope you are able to enjoy it (and share it with us!) for many years to come.

[@MrJWW]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@marco_neil]

Yeah I second a lot of the below comments; thanks for being honest in answering many of those questions where other KZbinrs may shy away. Always extremely interesting, fantastic work :)

[@CadillacToothdeville]

Marcus Neil Watch, Parker will make a similar video

[@dmh4535]

Honest, real, down to earth and really interesting.... this is why we watch you James. As you say “you want to bring us along for the journey” and being the real you means people like us who could never afford these cars or rallies can relate to you and what you are experiencing. And yes for the sunglasses but maybe make them in a few sizes for different size heads haha... cheers again James. Safe flight home kind regards Duncan.

[@semifinalmk7.570]

Excellent video as always! Well done Mr. JWW

[@pcass2634]

From a new subscriber. Got to say, never heard of his channel but will be tuning in from now on. Seemed such a genuine good guy. Look forward to seeing more uploads.

[@mylameisname9318]

Your taste in music for your videos are amazing man and I’m actually serious it draws you in even more

[@benendesc3931]

To be fair 60k for a planned trip , several no hassle car loaded aero plane trips , hotels pre booked events and tracks rented out, fleet management it's not all that awful . I was thinking round the area of 120k or something ridiculous like that

[@TwinkieCakey]

I was thinking more like 200k, but 60k isn't that bad. For experience like that, I'd throw that kind of money in it.

[@livndays45]

I agree. £60k is actually pretty good value. To put into context, I paid £850 for a night in a relatively standard hotel last week. Amazing room, but not a particularly special hotel. These guys are chartering massive jets and there must be so much ‘fixing’ work goes on.

[@MrDarrenNice]

Loved every video you have done on this trip. You're an amazing KZbinr and so informative (and truthful). Can't wait to see the "first drive" video now of your gorgeous F12 TDF 😊

[@Fiorano2Seven]

Really enjoyed following the Gumball content. Up to the usual high standards. Liked the honesty around cost as well I’m sure many would shy away but in my view looks worthy every penny. You are truly blessed. Love the channel and can’t wait for the “News”

[@platinumman21]

Thanks for the recap of the rally. I was always was wondering about how you get into Gumball 3000, and how much it costs? I also always enjoy your candid summary of what you've just been through. Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to what's next.

[@mrava2172]

Best petrolhead on KZbin! Thanks for the behind the scenes insight into what Gumball can entail. You're a legend, James!

[@LuisRamos-qd2lj]

MrAVA me

[@mrbrooks8093]

Great insight James, thanks. Looks like a shit ton of fun being on the Gumball, gutted I missed coming through Manchester 2016. Thanks for answering the questions we all have, keep up the good content mate

[@lucasstone243]

I can't begin to say how thankful I am that you give us such an exclusive look into something that 99.9999999% of us will never get to experience. Being able to share in the excitement and experience of Gumball 3000 just as a viewer feels like a privilege. It's due to all your effort and hard work that we get this free yet valuable insight into a world so different from our own. I know I'll likely never be behind the wheel of a car even close to some of those in my life, but getting to watch it and feel it through a screen is the second best thing. So thank you for all your work and willingness to bring that experience to us viewers, it really is something special.

[@MrJWW]

Thanks for watching, it’s a pleasure to share as always 👍🏻

[@devonshrine]

You always deliver the best quality car videos, no crap at all and that is extremely rare. Keep doing you, James!

[@ezbron]

YES for the glasses and a MEGA YES of support for all your effort for your videos and work and your charisma!!!

[@phyt4z]

Highly insightful video James - you have addressed a lot of questions about Gumball that some of us are considering on "applying" for in the future. Many thanks - keep up the fantastic, candid content.

[@dunstanhawk7367]

Great video. Very open and candid and fantastic insight into Gumball. Keep up the excellent work James. One of the best motoring channels there is.

[@adamlifshack3684]

Mr JWW sunglasses would be awesome! Love your style 🙌🙌🙌

[@daviddavies8231]

Great info James thanks for the video top notch as always Cheers Dave

[@scotie690]

For someone really rich this rally is cheap, just pocket money. The main thing here, as James told us, it that like everything in life the key is networking. When you´re accepted in a restrict circle the chances of being in the next rally are increased. Also you can add more contacts and business opportunities. Beside that you have a really life experience, being in amazing locations, lots of attention, disconnecting from a stressful life... and having really fun.

[@MrJWW]

It is an intense journey that broadens your horizons beyond almost any adventure I’ve experienced

[@gavinsullivan9015]

Respect James. I’m sure others have said but I’m impressed with your honesty, especially as you know you might take flak for it. It gives your channel integrity and i, for one, greatly appreciate it👍

[@Kompoism]

A really nice way to wrap up the trip, was an epic Rally this year. Kudos to all that took part and the Gumball crew for organising such a mammoth event! Also glad you took one of your cars this year and do not need a drip! (Sorry mate, all the thoughtful and tactful comments are taken when you are this late so... :D )

[@adamharley9419]

Great chat! Casual with ease and answering questions while taking this time from your very busy and super fun trip, much appreciation. Oh, and you hyperball 300...Get on that! Very baller!

[@4SmokingTailpipes]

You made it!!! Well done man!I am sooo excited for your news too, look forward to THAT video!

[@tontsyy]

Subscribed! Watched a few of your videos and they just keep getting better! Thanks!

[@shaughnsmit2076]

Thanks for the video James and sharing real numbers with us!! Love the content!!

[@emilyw3192]

This is why I will never miss a JWW video, I will always catch up even if it's 4 days of no wifi late. So much respect for you James ❤

[@chrishewson40]

Thank you Mr jww, that was very informative and answered a lot of questions for everyone, i Loved it!, can't wait to see what the big news is.

[@Mandurath]

Great video. Answered alot of questions I thought about as well. While outside of my bank accounts realm, it seems like a good time. Esp considering the amount of networking involved. Associating with movers and shakers is well worth the money as it leads to more money. With people you would have never met otherwise. Dream Gumball 3000 type rally... to be honest, as a retired truck driver, that would be an utter nightmare driving that much every day again. Regardless of the company or car. I would want the Lazymans Rally, drive a few hours a day, visit a track or nearby attractions. Take a little longer to get there but would enjoy it alot more. That being said, I do enjoy your (and others) videos about the trips and lifestyles I am not a part of. Keep them coming.

[@nevrclose]

Accomodations for luggage for a week when 2 people are in something exotic like an Aventador or less spacious? Maybe even on the motorcycles.

[@nasosnasos8054]

Love love

[@chrismalizia8475]

Amazing series of videos, this time around! Very well done, Sir!

[@vincentkr3w]

The problem isn’t the entry fee, it’s the fact that it’s probably worth spending that kind of money! Phenomenal content as always James! Cannot wait for the TDF video to drop...

[@philipguacci6452]

Good work as usual James. I loved Japan. Was there in 1985. Only place you can feel safe to be outside at any time of day. Loved the Mercedes A class review. Watched the video today.

[@hiptroshrec2583]

Love what you do man, keep it up!

[@RyanLink]

Sixty THOUSAND pounds!!! Jesus Christ James.

[@87plank]

Ryan Link and the 4k he spend in tolls and fuel and other stuff.... but it's all worth it. The 65k is relative...

[@danbrydges]

Would james pay for the cargo plane even if his car isn't going?

[@aabidamn]

They are all multi millionaires, so money shouldn't be an issue. Moreover, from intangible aspect, you get what your money's worth through the whole experience (should you embrace them of course). From financial point of view, you can get even more than that through networking.

[@blairanderson2043]

Don't forget he split the 60K with Parker.

[@blairanderson2043]

Why would you doubt that? James stated as much in the first video, and it would make no sense that he would pay the entire fee and just allow Parker to tag along for free.

[@frankbrambach]

Great video, really informative. Thank you for the insight cost wise, finally someone who is open about it. I'd love to see some sunglasses by the JWW brand as long they don't cost as much as the entrance fee😜

[@OverTheRoadRowson]

Thank you for sharing James you are incredibly humble and interesting. Thank you for being on KZbin mate love the channel !

[@43griffins]

adding to the rest of the comments... loved this video. Really a dream of mine to be on a gumball rally soon and looking forward to making that happen.

[@frvar6989]

Thank you James for being so HONEST and SINCERE about the costs of this whole experience. It is a lot of money, but if participants can afford it, GREAT !!!! It also unable you to give us some really cool content. Cheers from Tahiti.

[@jammyhere123]

So thats £7.2m for 120 cars.. wonder how much Gumball pockets after all the costs

[@fermignano89]

Something like zero?

[@sandraalivender3680]

You forgot the sponsorship money, probably close to £10m if not more

[@davem7798]

You think Gumball is a charity?

[@sfg-supercarsfromgotham9537]

Dave M its a charity

[@gngan]

After all the “administration” fee then it’s charity.

[@frederickontour1478]

Love this video James, amazing!

[@robertmaddock1813]

Such a refreshing, open and frank video. Quality... thanks James...

[@xack5810]

Yes to Mr.JWW Sunglasses Brand!!

[@highvoltage816]

I don’t know how in earth I have missed you channel all this time

[@fcguy7]

@16:20 "I'm next level elitist. I only want people who can afford million dollar plus cars. Even if it doesn't fit my 'hyper car' narrative, so long as it's expensive or 'baller', they are in" Just FYI, the douches he was talking about earlier in the video - that's him. That's why he was making excuses about being tired.

[@strangeclouds7]

What happened to Parker? Did you kidnap him in Japan?

[@moneyparhar]

StrangeClouds why would anyone kidnap parker bcz noone will pay single dime for him

[@strangeclouds7]

911 FLAT SIX Well he's got 1.7 million subscribers and a multimillionaire father so I'm sure someone would :).

[@ThePizzaman74]

StrangeClouds I find it strange too. He has not shown him or mentioned him in his last few uploads from the rally. Parker has not even posted since Switzerland. It’s like they had a big falling out or something.

[@wolfy5000]

Parker posted a Instagram post from Japan. Maybe he had a family emergency that he had to go to. I'm sure he'll he be back

[@ThePizzaman74]

Mr JWW never even thanked/mentioned his copilot once in his final Gumball video? that still seems strange to me.

[@parky2310]

As brilliant and insightful as ever - Thanks for sharing the experience even further James - Absolutely superb bud!👍👍👍

[@michelefranco6056]

So wait by multiplying 60k ( on average calculating inflation and popularity growth etc. ) by an average of 200 cars in 20 years, gumball 3000 without counting the sponsors in, made about 240.000.000$ with participants alone. To be onest going from a joyride-journey with your mates to this is pretty amazing

[@DocHavoc0512]

I guess I’m too poor to understand the appeal of paying $80,000 to drive your car lol

[@215nerf]

yep

[@Vitoman901]

Haha, there are cheaper rallies too. Or you can go out and drive with your friends..

[@scareb2381]

You don't pay for driving, you pay for networking.

[@illtellulatta03]

Did you see where they stay and what they eat? Plus the cost of flying your car from Italy to Japan. It's like people dropping 5-10k to go to the superbowl. It's all relative to your income.

[@Nyperia]

And yet people are willing to spend 80k on education that will get them a life long slavery and bad debt. Here, as James said, you meet at least millionaires if not billionaires which is beneficial for all involved I bet. Would you also rather pay 2k for school books than attend a 3 day seminar that teaches you how to become financially independent or teaches you how real-estate's work/how the stock markets work/.... Don't think in the boundaries you were taught and born in. Think bigger, think as a millionaire not as a medium wage worker and you might stumble upon great things 😉

[@marvinmontgomery8496]

Great video! Thanks for all the info!

[@embakubmotoring]

Very informative, I learned a lot and also pretty motivational

[@vaukman585]

Always interesting! Keep it up, James!

[@CleanFinish2023]

The tell it like it is policy is one of your best qualities, so much click bait and vague answers on you tube, none from Mr JWW it’s just straight up top notch content.

[@raz775]

Great insight into the costs and the long slog that goes on as part of the rally aside from the parties

[@whome5810]

Thanks for the honesty on costs! I have always wondered what it would all add up to.

[@paulletchworth8127]

Great job , the best content , so informative and you see the real love of cars comes through in every video thank you sir

[@felaguro]

Man you need to make some of those silver sunglasses with the side shades... those are amazing!!!

[@raptorfast538]

Loved the content sir..The quality keeps getting better and better!!!!, this video cleared up most of my questions so thank you except one....., where is Parker, he hasn't uploaded in 7 days, has something happened to him?? Please Reply #curious

[@MrJWW]

Think he’s just having a break - Gumball is a hell of a ride!

[@raptorfast538]

Mr JWW Cool! Thanks so much

[@leotac5737]

Thanks for the honest answers James! Great video as always...

[@tommyoo771]

Well done mate, nice commentary too

Always amazing content James 👍🏻

[@PCUBED09]

Appreciate the transparency! Keep it up

[@Benvos]

World class content, you can’t get this kind of genuine insight anywhere and really helps us understand the grandeur of the event that we would otherwise never know. You do this KZbin car game better than anyone, awesome.

[@MrJWW]

Thanks for the support buddy 👍🏻

[@soufimhadi8001]

Honest, real, down to earth person thats why i love you sir and this gumball ralie is so interesting....one day i ll be ther and this is why we watch you James u are uniaue in your own way enjoye ur trip

[@crospotter13]

we want sunglasses :) i already bought 8js sneakers after seeing them in your videos, would love to have sunglasses. Greeting from Croatian fan :)

[@micklawrence2630]

Brilliant to watch yet again ...... not being creepy ! , but you seem a real genuine sound guy .... always look forward to seeing your vids ..... better than anything on T.V ..... hopefully you will be changing that ! ! 👍🏼

[@EricPetersen2922]

Gumball is fun, I’ve done it twice. Not the whole thing but a leg in America in a Lambo in 04 or 03 and in Europe in 16 in a Bentley. It’s a good time, but doing the whole thing is a bit much for me. The format this year with Europe & Japan I didn’t think was a good idea. The best Gumball’s are in Eastern Europe. The cars are amazing!! Nice video

[@takenxtx]

Got to love James' honesty. Keep up the good work Sir 😃

[@pallypally8713]

Fantastic Video James - " BEST UK KZbinr BY FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR " #respect xx

[@charliefogerty5779]

I made it into the background of your video in London. My life is now complete

[@sahilsanghoi]

would really love to see you come out with your own range of sunglasses on the same note of the ones that you wear(Thom Browne) !!!

[@adityaprakasha2038]

Yes sir please we would love to buy those glasses

I bet the GT3 was a little sad he got left

[@adamnaddei915]

Genuine and informative. Gawwddamn I enjoy your videos sir.

[@Jeremy_Baeyens]

Love this video because it felt really honest ! Thank you and have a save trip back home! The Sunglasses would be cool !

[@alrestauro]

I really enjoy your insightful journal experiences about Gumball the logistics in what it evolves to participate in this rally! Thank you for sharing, James. BTW a pair of Mr. JWW sunglasses would be a cool idea and I really like the silver ones you wear very iconic on you! What's the brand you wear plz?

[@charliecleanup]

Thanks James very refreshing in terms of the lay of the land

[@michaelbartenwerfer3274]

3000 miles in 7 days is incredible! The most I’ve ever done is 1200 in just over three days which is still a lower daily mileage. Sounds like a truly special journey and thank you for bringing us along!
