From a $1 Shack to a $139 Million Bel Air Mega-Mansion: MrBeast Compares Living at Every Price Point
MrBeast ミスタービースト
MrBeast (Jimmy) and his crew set out to compare what life looks like in homes at wildly different prices. They start with a house bought for one dollar and work up through $1 million, $15 million, $30 million, $45 million and $69 million properties, ending at a Los Angeles mega-mansion. The opening calls that last house a "$100 million" home, and they later introduce it as the $139 million house. At each stop the group looks for the features that are supposed to justify the price and asks, often jokingly, whether any of it is worth the money.
The $1 House: "More of a Shed"
The first property barely qualifies as a house. The crew calls it "more of a shed," and the seller explains the price plainly: one more storm and the structure will "probably go into the water," so a dollar is worth it just to be rid of it. The seller agrees it is a "horrible investment." The group buys it anyway.
Inside, the floor wobbles and they worry about falling through. The contents are a recliner, a mattress and "half a floor." A chair seems to be "holding on for dear life." The building sits so close to the water that they can fish from inside, and a moment of excitement over a catch turns out to be only the lure. Jimmy asks whether the seller regrets the sale now that the crew is having fun. The answer is no, and an offer of $2 to buy it back is also turned down. Jimmy then says he never plans to set foot in the "worthless shack" again, and they move on to a house that costs a million times more.
The $1 Million House: More Than Expected
Jimmy frames the $1 million house as a look at "how a millionaire lives." The crew's first reaction is that it is far bigger than their own homes. It has a good-sized kitchen and four fairly normal bedrooms. One bedroom leads through a closet into a bathroom that is "bigger than the $1 house." A 6'5" crew member fits comfortably in the bathtub, and the bathrooms are stocked with bidets.
They single out the downstairs as the best part. It has a movie theater with massage chairs, each with two remotes, and an arcade. The tour ends at the pool, which has what they call an "unnecessary waterfall." Their verdict is that it would be a fun place to live, and one of them jokes that they'd have many more friends if they owned it. They say they did not expect this many features at that price.
The $15 Million House Overlooking Los Angeles
The $15 million house makes the crew feel out of place. One says it looks like the house "that you tried to get to in GTA." The pool is smaller than the one at the $1 million house, but it looks out over all of Los Angeles. The group asks one another how the owner makes a living. One guess is "NFTs," but the owner is a lawyer, described as the top attorney in 2017 and the number one lawyer in 2021. Jimmy remarks that apparently that is all it takes to afford the house.
The owner left a note thanking MrBeast for the visit and calling it a lasting "trump card" with their kids. The note also asks them, jokingly, not to eat the "sacred" sandwiches passed down through the family. The lower floor has a movie theater, a personal gym with a passcode-locked treadmill (the crew's guess of 6969 fails), a guest bedroom, an entertainment area, and a bar where the owner left food for them. Someone worries the food might be a setup for a lawsuit, but Karl has already eaten some. There is also an underground viewing window into the pool, where Nolan keeps swimming for a shot the crew has stopped filming.
The master bedroom has another dramatic view. The crew start tossing cushions around, and Jimmy tells Nolan to stop because if one goes over the edge, the owner "might sue me." As a running joke, the video says that to avoid being served court papers they flew across the country to the next house.
The $30 Million Massachusetts Estate: Cars, Courts and a Waterpark
The $30 million estate in Massachusetts has 16 bedrooms across four buildings. The main house has several living rooms and an office the crew calls "the Oval Office." On the bookshelf they find The Way to Wealth by Benjamin Franklin. That sets off a confused exchange in which someone credits Franklin with the light bulb, another corrects that it was Edison, and a third asks what Franklin actually did. The owner made their fortune in candles and left custom MrBeast candles in the kitchen, one of which is supposed to smell like the beach. Chandler discovers that you can hit golf balls off the roof.
The crew says the main house is not the most impressive part. Next door is a garage full of exotic cars, "Lamborghinis on top of Lamborghinis," which they compare to a video game garage and "a candy store for adults." A second garage holds even more cars. Stairs in the corner lead to a basement with roughly 20 to 30 more. At first they joke that someone rich enough to fill a basement with cars apparently can't afford lights, until the lights come on. They are convinced that if they stole a car, the owner wouldn't notice, and they joke that buying this many cars must be a full-time job.
Jimmy says that if he owned the place, he'd never leave the next building. It has an entire indoor tennis court, a two-story arcade that the video says is 20 times bigger than the one at the $1 million house, and a basketball court where they play ping pong. The feature they call truly special is upstairs: a full indoor waterpark so large that the drone keeps flying back and it still isn't over. The crew goes down the slide together while Jimmy moves on alone.
The $45 Million Brentwood Mansion with Mark Cuban
Back across the country, the $45 million mansion strikes the group as the most open house they've been in. Jimmy says the houses are getting so expensive he no longer knows how to describe them, so he brings in multi-billionaire Mark Cuban to help. Because Cuban owns the Dallas Mavericks and the house has its own basketball court, they get distracted by a pickup game, which ends with a game-winning shot credited to Jake.
When they ask whether the house is worth $45 million, Cuban points to the location: "Because it's Brentwood. That's probably half of it." The crew briefly thinks he means the wood the house is built from, not the neighborhood. In a bathroom, Cuban says he has a couch in his own bathroom and gives his "number one rule": you have to have a heated seat. Jimmy concludes that you don't need billions to be happy, just a bidet and a heated toilet seat, because that's where he spends most of his time.
The $69 Million Art House Built to Survive a Tsunami
Jimmy calls $69 million his favorite number. The crew thinks the house looks like it belongs to a villain. They ask Miranda how it compares to her house, and she says it's much bigger. According to the video, the unusual-looking house can command $69 million because it is filled with priceless art and sculptures from around the world. They contrast this with the $30 million house: that one had a waterpark and a hundred cars, while this one "just has artwork."
They play a guessing game on artwork prices. For one piece, Jimmy guesses $100,000 and Miranda guesses 80, then jokes that she has the same one at home. For a piece at the bottom of the entrance stairs, Jimmy guesses $1 million because of its prominent spot. The real price is $450,000, which they find oddly precise. A big red sculpture also gets attention.
In one room they had promised "30 times" not to touch anything. It holds what they describe as a one-of-one, fully analog custom home sound system made by the creator of the Walkman. The video explains the Walkman as one of the first devices that let people listen to music while walking.
The house's odd layout, with sky bridges you have to cross to get anywhere, is explained by its engineering: the video says it was meticulously built to withstand the force of a real tsunami. The crew jokes that you could watch tsunamis coming and stop them. They also note that the view includes the neighbor's entire backyard, and they riff on a "Romeo and Juliet" story in which the owner is in love with the person next door.
The $139 Million Bel Air Mega-Mansion
The final stop is introduced as the $139 million, "arguably most luxurious house on the planet." It is a 36,000-square-foot mansion with 12 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms across three stories, all facing the Los Angeles skyline. The intro teases a nightclub, a T-Rex and a robotic car elevator. For the tour they bring Justin Timberlake, who plays along with the joke that it's his house before saying no. Looking at the view, someone jokes that "the CGI is perfect." Justin reportedly ranks the view top 10, and Jimmy puts it in his top five. The group says Justin has cash "on standby" and will decide at the end whether he'd pay $100 million.
The video stresses the materials. The walls of one room are made entirely of rare marble imported from Italy, and the crew is told there is "not a single thing of drywall" in the house. They say one chandelier costs over $1 million and weighs so many thousands of pounds that the ceiling started to dip. Someone who had been playing with it earlier says they weren't told it cost a million. The video puts the total spent on chandeliers at $6 million.
The lower floor is described as "a whole other house." It includes an ice room, whose purpose no one can explain ("They ran out of room ideas"), and the crew briefly worries about getting locked in because the door has no handle. There is also a dinosaur skeleton. Asked whether the dinosaur makes him more likely to buy, Justin says he's still on the fence. Because no one currently owns the house, a locker room has name tags for the few people who could afford it. The crew gives rough net worths as they go: about $80 billion for Warren Buffett, about $50 billion for Larry Ellison, about $100 billion for Jeff Bezos. They joke about why Chandler's name isn't there.
The garage has a $2.5 million car elevator that the video calls one of the most insane features in the house. You pick a car on a tablet and it is lifted two floors into the garage. The crew jokes that its "main problem" is that it only stores six Lamborghinis. The home theater is the biggest they have ever seen and looks like a real cinema. A massage-chair gag follows: Jimmy's chair vibrates while Chandler's does nothing until they switch seats.
Upstairs, the primary bathroom has a shower they say could fit ten people, "an army." The feature presented as "the real reason this house cost so much" is at the pool. An absurdly large screen rises slowly into place. The crew calls the speed dramatic, "a little bit of a flex," and notes that Karl, who is about 6'5", looks small next to it. They joke about whether the display is a screensaver of Los Angeles while the real downtown sits right behind it.
Justin's Verdict
At the end, Jimmy asks Justin whether he'll buy the house with the $100 million in cash supposedly waiting outside. Someone jokes that Nolan's shirt comes with the house, and Justin answers "I'm in." The video closes with a note that the house is listed as 1200 Bel Air in Los Angeles. It never answers whether any of these homes is worth its price. The only direct valuation comes from Mark Cuban, who said much of the Brentwood house's cost is the neighborhood. Jimmy's closing takeaway from that stop was that happiness mostly comes down to a bidet and a heated toilet seat.
This is a $100 million mega-mansion and it's possibly the most luxurious house ever built by mankind. And we're going to be comparing living in this house to living in this $69 million art house that's built to withstand a literal tsunami, a $30 million palace with its very own waterpark and everything in between, all the way down to this $1 barely functioning house.
More of a shed. Well, it's only a dollar. Why does this house cost a dollar? Yeah, we get another storm, it's probably going to go into the water. So it's worth a dollar for me just to get rid of it. So you would say this is a horrible investment for me? Yes, indeed. Let's do it. Let's go.
This is sketchy. What are the odds I fall through? Pretty high. Bro, these are wobbly. I like how that chair is just holding on for dear life. We have a recliner, a mattress and half a floor.
I can literally fish from inside of the house. Yo, I caught one. That's just the lure. I'm sorry.
Now that you see us having fun, do you regret selling it? I do not. What if I gave you $2 to buy back off me? No. Alright, I tried. I have an idea. Let's get out of this house.
Later in this video, we have a house that cost 100 million times more than this. And because I never plan on setting foot in this worthless shack again... Let's head over to something a little nicer.
Speaking of which, we're at the million dollar house, which technically means you need to be a millionaire to buy this house. Let's show you how a millionaire lives. My first impression is it's way bigger than my house.
When you pay $1,000,000, you get a pretty good sized kitchen, along with four bedrooms that look normal. But they keep going because this bedroom has a closet here which leads into a bathroom that's bigger than the $1 house. The bathtub is gigantic. I'm six foot five and I can fit in this perfectly comfortable.
And even though the bathrooms are all stocked with bidets... Oh God! The best seat in the house is definitely downstairs. Oh snap! They have a movie theater. Dude, these chairs are massage chairs. Wait, what? These chairs each have two remotes. Two remotes!
On top of the movie theater, there's also an arcade. I was not expecting all these features for $1 million. This house is awesome. I'd have so much more friends if I owned a place like this.
And ending with the pool, which comes complete with this unnecessary waterfall. Overall, I'd say this is a pretty fun house to live in. But of course we're all here to see the richest of the rich. And that's why up next, we have this $15 million... $15 million house.
Wait, you pushed it? Oh, my God. Jeez, man... I don't belong here. This looks like the house that you tried to get to in GTA. That view is crazy. The pool is much smaller than the $1 million house, but you can literally oversee all of L.A.
Help! Hey! Help! Stop. Stop. Go inside. I need new friends.
Let's check out the house. The person who owns this house, what do you think he does for a living? NFTs. He's a lawyer. This guy was the top attorney in 2017 and the number one lawyer in 2021. Apparently, that's all it takes to afford this house.
It appears a note was left for us. Dear MrBeast, thank you for visiting my home. You have given me the ultimate gift. I have a trump card with my kids forever. Also, please don't eat any of the sandwiches. They are very sacred to me and my family's been passing it down from generation to generation. Got it.
Down or up? Down. Down it is. Okay, now it's starting to look nice. The lower floor of this mansion comes with its very own movie theater and personal gym. This treadmill requires a passcode to use. Six, nine, six, nine. It's not six, nine, six, nine.
A guest bedroom, an entertainment area and a bar where the owner left us a bunch of free food. Guys, before you eat anything. Yeah. What if he left this out so he could sue us for eating his... Well, too late now, Karl ate it.
And an incredible underground view of the swimming pool. Yeah. Nolan's trying to swim in the background for the shot. I don't think he realized we stopped filming him. Back again? Yeah, do it one more time.
And now a master bedroom with another crazy view. Karl, come here. You missed. We got another one. You missed again. Oh wait! Nolan, stop it! Nolan, stop this cushion also. Stop throwing cushions. If it goes over the edge he might sue me.
And so to avoid being handed court papers, we decided to fly all the way across the country to Massachusetts for the $30 million house. This extraordinary 16 bedroom estate has four different buildings.
In the main house, there are multiple living rooms, but this one is the best of the living rooms in this property. This is grand. What is this? The Oval Office.
What book would you expect here besides The Way to Wealth by Benjamin Franklin? Bro made the light bulb and a book? Well, Edison made the light bulb. Not Ben Franklin. What the hell did Ben Franklin do? I'm going to read this book.
Past the living room and the office was the grand kitchen where the owner had left a little gift for us. The owner of this place got rich making candles. So he made us custom MrBeast candles. That one smells like the beach. It does. How do they put the beach in a candle?
And to top off the house's main building, Chandler discovered that... You can hit golf balls off the roof. Fore!
That's not even close to the coolest thing about this place, because next door is a garage filled with exotic cars. This looks like a garage out of a video game. They got Lamborghinis on top of Lamborghinis. It's like a candy store for adults.
The best part is this is just one of two car garages. Follow me. There's more? Bro, there's more cars in here than the other one. Holy crap! Alright, now I am convinced if we steal a car, he would not notice. How do you even buy these cars? Hey, I want three of the same ones. It's like a full time job to buy this many cars.
There's stairs in the corner. Let's see where they go. Bro, this is like a closet with cars. Underneath the car garage is another army of cars. They should really invest in a light switch down here. They have 20 cars down here, but no lights.
Did I...? No way! No. No way! That's why there wasn't a light switch. I was like, who can afford to shove 30 cars in their basement but not electricity?
Now, don't get me wrong, all of the rooms in this house have been awesome so far. But if I owned it, I don't think I'd ever leave this next building. This is awesome. That's right. For some just ungodly reason, whoever built this place thought it would be a good idea to install an entire indoor tennis court. I just want to remind you that we are playing tennis inside a house. I also have no idea how to play tennis.
Gang squad, follow me. What? No way! Two story arcade. The arcade in this house is actually 20 times bigger than the one at the $1 million house. But that's not all. Bro, this place literally has everything. Alright, I'm never leaving. We're playing ping pong in a basketball court, in a house. First try, baby!
Now, all of the features of the $30 million house have been pretty cool. But this next room is what makes this place truly special. Head up these stairs for the best part of the estate. What you really want to see is right over here, look at this. This is an indoor waterpark.
It's like a whole new world in here. Look how far back the drone is and it's still going. Go have fun, but don't break anything. Roger that. We're all about to go down the slide together.
We're going to enjoy the waterpark. I'll see you at the next house. The only bad news is it's once again across the entire country. The good news is it's a $45 million mega-mansion.
What! Oh, my gosh. This is like the most open house I've ever been in. What? I don't know what majestic thing this is, but it's beautiful. As you can probably tell, these houses are starting to get so expensive, I don't even know how to describe them anymore. Honestly, lost for words. This is quite possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
So I called in multi-billionaire Mark Cuban to help us out. How's it going? Hey! How's it going, little man? Nice to meet you. Mark's also the proud owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team. And because this house has its very own basketball court, you can imagine we got a little distracted.
Jimmy won't make it! Buckets! Just steal it from Karl. Hit that. No shot. We get those. Yeah, that's it. Go, go, go, go, go. Easy lay, bud. Yeah. There we go. Jake's play wins. All you. Hit it. Game winner. Oh, no. Yeah! Way to dominate, Jakers.
Now, we're going to show Mark around the rest of the house, now that we're all sweating, to find out if he thought it was worth the steep $45 million price. In case you're wondering, we didn't go swimming. It looks like I did go swimming.
How much do they want for this house? 45. Not worth it? Because it's Brentwood. That's probably half of it. Is Brentwood what that is? No, the neighborhood. I also thought he was talking about the wood in the house. That's funny.
This bathroom over here, it's nice. Do you have a couch in your bathroom? Yes. Oh really? Yeah. Okay. We need to get on Mark's level. The number one rule is, you have to have a heated seat. That's it? That feeling when you sit down... And it is not cold? I agree. You don't need to make billions to be happy. You just need to be able to afford a bidet and a heated toilet seat. Cause that's where I spend most of my time.
Well, even though I'm sure Mark would love to spend more time here on the toilets, our time here has officially run out. And so I'll see you guys at the next house.
Up next, we have a house whose price point happens to be my favorite number. And now we are at the $69 million mansion. That looks like a villain owns it. It does look villainous. How's this compare to your house, Miranda? It's a lot bigger than mine. That can't be sure. What's your address?
The reason why this weird looking house can still go on the market for $69 million is because it's filled to the brim with priceless art and sculptures sourced from all around the world.
Throw up how much these artworks are worth and we're going to try to guess it. How much do you think this is worth? I'm going to say 100,000. What do you think, Miranda? I'm going to go with 80. Oh, she has one of these in her house. Yeah. I have the same one. Only you know the actual price.
Oh, actually, this one will be a fun one. I'm going to go with $1,000,000 because it's like right down the opening stairs, so... $450,000. Very precise. Very specific. The $30 million house had a waterpark, a hundred cars. This place just has artwork. Big red sculpture.
This room over here, we promised them 30 times we wouldn't touch what's in it. Come over here. No touching anything, what is it? This is a one of one fully analog custom home sound system made by the creator of the Walkman, which was one of the first devices that allowed you to listen to music while walking. That's an impressive thing to have under your belt. To have made the Walkman. I don't think you could fit this under your belt.
Let's traverse across the skywalk. Oh, my God. I'm excited. Another reason this house is built so strange, for example, having to walk across skybridges to get anywhere, is because it's been meticulously built to be able to withstand the force of a real tsunami. You got to admit, that's pretty cool. You can see the tsunamis before they hit your house and you stop them.
What completes the view is the neighbor's backyard. You can see all of it. What if the man who lives here is secretly in love with the person that lives next door? That's his ex-girlfriend. It's a Romeo and Juliet. And now that we are done checking out the neighbor's house, it was time to head to our last stop.
The final house, or should I say the $139 million, arguably most luxurious house on the planet, mega-mansion. This massive 36,000 square foot mansion has things you never see in any other house, from a nightclub to a T-Rex to an entire robotic car elevator. This place is going to blow your mind and to make this house tour extra special, we brought Justin Timberlake.
How you guys doing? And this is Justin's house and he's going to show us around. No. Holy crap! Have you ever seen a view better than this in your life? This is gorgeous. Yeah, man, you guys really... The CGI is perfect, it looks real. He's like, "Yeah, maybe it's top 10." I'll put it top five.
It's hard to describe just how big this mansion really is. It has 12 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms split across three massive stories, all with a perfect view of the Los Angeles skyline.
I always judge a house by the kitchen, minimalist kitchen. You judge these things. How are you feeling? Well, let's keep going. At the end of the tour, we'll get his opinion on if he would pay $100 million. He has it on standby if he likes it. Straight cash, homie.
Everything in this house is built out of the most expensive materials on the planet. For example, the walls in this room are constructed entirely out of rare marble, imported straight from Italy. You guys got to get an estimate or something on how much marble is actually in this house. That's like custom done. Yeah, there's not a single thing of drywall in this entire house. Drywall?
This is a pretty sick chandelier. This chandelier is over $1,000,000. And the ceiling literally started dipping because it weighs so many thousands of pounds. It really keeps going. You didn't tell me it was a million. I was playing with it earlier. There is literally $6 million of just chandeliers in this house and the rooms on the bottom floor get even better.
There's a whole other house down here. If you come over here... Dude, this is literally an ice room. This is where you lock me in? No. Please don't. So, what do you do in here? They ran out of room ideas. Probably a 50% chance we're locked in here because that doesn't have a handle. Oh, no. We're good. That would have been funny if we were. His face.
Is that a real dinosaur? Now that you know the house has a dinosaur, are you more apt to buy it? I'm still on the fence.
What? Is this a locker room? No one currently owns this house, so they put nametags of the few people on the planet that can actually afford it. Warren Buffett's worth like 80 billion, Ellison's worth like 50 billion. Bezos like 100 billion. Chandler, why is your name not up here?
Alright, let's check out the whips. Nolan, are you just posing? I'll just be sitting here. You really match the house. Thank you. I was going for that, I was going for that. Job well done. Nolan's going to go in the editing room and clip that.
This $2.5 million car elevator is one of the most insane features in the whole house. You select which car you want to drive on the tablet, and it literally sends it up two floors right into the garage. I know what you're thinking. The main problem with this is it only stores six Lamborghinis and... Yeah... You needed like a ten car storage. Right.
This house also had the by far biggest home theater I've ever seen in my life. This almost looks like a real movie theater. This is the best movie theater so far. And they're actually reclining chairs. It only costs 100 mil for that.
Check it out, Jimmy. Wait, press my massage button. I got you. Hey! I don't need this. Bro, where's my button? My chair's not even doing that. Here, switch. Let me see. Yeah, Chandler, test the massage feature. Oh, my God, it works. No way this is just the only one here. Man. This is great. Bro, what is wrong with them?
Alright, lead the way upstairs. This is a primary bedroom over here. Oh, and then over here, the bathrooms. In case you've ever wanted to shower with ten people, now you can. That's my thing, man. You can take a bath with no one. And basically all yourself but showering. You can fit an army in there. If that's what you're into. He is.
And now the best part of the house over at the pool. The real reason this house cost so much. I'm pressing it. Is this a screen? It is absurdly large. And slow. It gives drama, though. It is. Exactly. It gives a dramatic effect.
It's a little bit of a flex. What a gorgeous view of L.A. Yeah. Imagine this screensaver was L.A. I think it is. There's downtown L.A.
And there's downtown L.A. For reference, Karl is like six foot five. Yeah, something like that. Give or take. And look how tall the TV is compared to him.
All right, Justin, you've seen the whole house. We need to know. Obviously, you have $100 million in cash sitting outside. Right. Are you going to buy the house?
Nolan's shirt comes with it. You don't like my shirt? Your shirt comes with it? Yeah. I'm in. Does the bear that ripped up the shirt come with it?
Oh, no! Let's go! Wait, wait. Why?
I hope you guys enjoyed it. I'll see you around.
To buy the house you just saw, check out 1200 Bel Air in Los Angeles.
