One of the highest-earning YouTubers, Jimmy Donaldson, AKA MrBeast, AKA ‘the Oprah of YouTube’, made $54 million in 2021 (that’s around R830 million).
Just ask Forbes.
So orchestrating a challenge where he gives away $10 000 every day so long as his latest victim winner survives “prison” – a luxury padded room with entertainment technology galore – is no biggie at all.
Yup, this is exactly the stuff you’ll see in MrBeast’s latest challenge video.
MrBeast knows no limits and is more than happy to dish out the cash (in large, incomprehensible amounts) to whoever is lucky enough to be chosen as a participant in his latest video.
For more of an idea of what this guy is capable of, watch his most popular video of all time, ‘$456 000 Squid Game In Real Life!’, complete with a recreation of the creepy red light/green light doll.
Back to this ‘$10 000 Every Day You Survive Prison’ challenge. MrBeast gets a guy named Josh to try and stay in said room, with the promise of $10 000 for every day he managed to stick it out, Dexerto reported:
However, for every $10 000 he received, Josh had to get rid of one item from the room, adding an extra layer of difficulty to the already hard challenge.
Josh managed to stick it out for a good few weeks, and on day 22, he got the biggest surprise of the challenge so far when he smashed a guitar from the room, only to find out that it had a $100 000 dollar check in it.
At the end of his long stay, Josh managed to rack up a whopping $340 000 (R4,9 million).
However, the biggest shock comes right at the end.
Stick around for the last few minutes of the video to find out what that’s about:
