From a $1 Camel Ride to the Top of the Burj Khalifa: MrBeast Ranks Experiences by Price
MrBeast ミスタービースト
The video sets out to answer a simple question: what does an experience look like at different price points, from a single dollar up to half a million? Jimmy (MrBeast) and his friends Chandler, Karl, Tareq and Nolan work up the price ladder: $1, $10,000, $50,000, $250,000 and finally $500,000. Jimmy promises the top tier will "blow your mind," and it ends with Jimmy standing on the tallest building in the world.
$1: Two Minutes on a Camel
The cheapest experience Jimmy could find was a camel ride. Jimmy asks how long a dollar buys, and the handler answers, "One dollar, two minute." Jimmy calls it "a great $1 experience." Jimmy had wanted to ride camels in Egypt, but those rides cost "way more than a dollar," so the plan is to add the pyramids in post-production instead.
Jimmy is warned to hold on tight and quickly finds out why: "this is a workout to stay on this thing." The camel puts the rider high off the ground, which prompts a joke that viewers now know what it's like to be as tall as Jimmy and Chandler. Then the two minutes run out.
$10,000: Dinner in a Hot Air Balloon
For $10,000, guests are taken 3,000 feet up in a hot air balloon that a chef uses as her kitchen. Jimmy admits it's "a little higher than I expected." The narration calls her a Michelin-star chef and explains the twist: she cooks with the flame from the balloon's burner. One course is fish cooked over that fire, which leads to the line "This fish never dreamed of being this high up."
Jimmy says all ten gourmet courses were "phenomenal" and recommends the experience to anyone with "an extra ten grand" who wants to impress someone on a date. Jimmy also asks the chef what she thinks of a Feastables bar, the chocolate brand Jimmy owns. She says it is "very good on balance" and that she likes "the crunch in the chocolate." Jimmy jokingly declares Feastables "Michelin star approved."
$50,000: Submarine vs. Safari
At the $50,000 tier, the group splits up so the two experiences can compete over which one shows more impressive animals.
Chandler and Karl are taken to what looks like a yacht. When Jimmy asks whether it seems worth $50,000 for a day, they say no. Jimmy then reveals the real plan: a private submarine expedition to the ocean floor. They have the submarine to themselves and can explore wherever they want, except crashing, which is "not allowed." They see fish before the dive even starts, including a barracuda, and later pass very close to rocks after checking that the distance is safe.
Jimmy also paid scuba divers to follow the submarine and film it from outside. In one prank, the group holds up a "Shark behind" sign to the divers and tells everyone inside to start "freaking out."
Meanwhile, Tareq and Nolan go on a $50,000 safari in Africa with one rule: they cannot leave until they see a lion. They spot a warthog, then scare it off by yelling, and one of them apologizes for shouting. They also see zebras, which prompts the comment that if they were a lion they would "always go for a zebra." Then elephants approach their vehicle. The elephants are described as "unnervingly close," the group says they "just got charged by an elephant," and one of them reports their heart "beating out of my chest."
The narration teases that the submarine will see more animals ("Spoiler. We will."). The safari pair disagree: "This is way cooler than a submarine. I'd rather see this than a fish." The video never names an official winner.
$250,000: Zero Gravity
The $250,000 experience is a parabolic flight. Jimmy explains that the company "will fly you up and then nosedive," which creates weightlessness inside the plane. The group floats upside down, throws objects to each other, and watches their water float out of its container.
On one drop they try to race to the other end of the cabin. It doesn't go well: one person shouts "I can't go anywhere!" and the narration concludes that "racing without gravity doesn't work so well." Karl then tries a leaf blower as a way to move around, which sends someone spinning out of control.
The flight also hosts a sponsored segment for MrBeast Lab Swarms, a toy line Jimmy says was created by the team. Jimmy describes how it works: pour water into a tube, shake it, and find out which Swarms you got. Jimmy says more than 119 of them can be collected. Doing it while weightless is harder than expected; Jimmy admits, "This isn't as easy as I thought."
$500,000: Dubai
Jimmy says the team traveled "all around the entire world" to film the video, and the top tier is set in Dubai, which Jimmy calls the "most luxurious metropolis in the entire world" and a city "carved from the desert but created for pleasure." Jimmy announces at the start that the day will end with standing on top of the tallest building in the world.
The first stop is a "500ft picture frame," followed by a hotel Jimmy calls a castle. The group's suite has three levels. The first two are described as magnificent, but the highlight is the third level, which is fully underwater and looks into an aquarium. Karl goes into the tank to tease the others from the other side of the glass. Jimmy notes that the tank holds more than 80 sharks and that the group will swim with them later.
Supercars, a Formula Car, and a Lamborghini Giveaway
Next, the group races at the Dubai Autodrome. They first drive F1-style karts, and Jimmy invites some of the biggest local creators to join them in supercars. The race comes with a lot of teasing. Someone tells Jimmy, "Come on, grandma," and another person says they don't think Jimmy "could drive slower if she wanted to." One of the drivers is called out for a move that is "really illegal."
While the others were "pretending to be race car drivers," Karl got to drive a real formula-level race car. It started rough ("Off to a rocky start"), but Karl calls it "the best day of my life."
Jimmy says the price of this experience also meant they got to keep a brand-new Lamborghini. After a short drive, Jimmy explains: "I'm not the kind of guy who likes to drive around sports cars," and besides, they can't find a parking spot. So Jimmy decides to give the car away. Jimmy asks people nearby whether they watch the channel and offers the car to one who says yes, but that person turns it down: "I'd prefer someone else to have it." A second person, also a subscriber, accepts and says they are "actually shaking right now." Jimmy uses the moment to remind viewers to make sure they're subscribed.
Courtside in Abu Dhabi
The group then travels to an NBA game in Abu Dhabi with courtside seats. Jimmy says the game "ended up turning into a photoshoot," with constant requests for photos. Jimmy also meets Steve Harvey and Russell Westbrook.
Water Park, Penguins, and the Shark Tank
With $200,000 of experiences still left, the group takes over a large water park and spends time with penguins, which surprises them given they're in the middle of the desert. One penguin is pointed out as "the alpha."
They then dive into the giant pool with more than 80 sharks and stingrays. Jimmy calls himself "Aquaman, the king of the sharks" and jokingly orders the sharks to attack Karl. One very large creature gets the reaction "That is a dinosaur!" and "That should not exist." At one point, someone jokes that the crew "just unplugged my oxygen."
A Restaurant "Straight Out of the Future"
Dinner is at a restaurant Jimmy calls "straight out of the future." The seats are spread far apart, and Jimmy says they've never sat so far from friends at a restaurant. The first appetizer has to be eaten in a single bite. Then the room transforms: the walls light up with full 360-degree interactive visuals that change with each dish and respond to touch. The friends compare it to a Call of Duty mission and a movie theater, and at one point they're "defending Earth" in a game. Jimmy admits, "I'm impressively bad at this."
Jimmy says that as impressive as the room was, the food and drinks are what made the experience unique. The nine courses range from freshly caught seafood to a golden wagyu burger, which Chandler, often picky, actually approves of. The final course was made just for the group and featured an image the others say is Chandler. Chandler insists, "That is not me."
An Infinity Pool in the Sky
Before the last two challenges, Jimmy tests their fear of heights at a pool more than 600 feet up. It's a 360-degree infinity pool with views over the whole city. Jimmy says the camera "does not do this justice" and points out that the island below is man-made. A section of the pool extends out over the edge, and the group sits there to take in the view: "We're on top of Dubai."
Skydiving, and the Friend Who Stayed in the Plane
Next is skydiving onto the man-made island. Jimmy calls falling out of the sky one of their biggest fears and says a video about experiences wouldn't be complete without facing it. The nerves show before takeoff: "If I don't make this, still upload the video!" On the climb, someone asks, "What are the odds I die?" and gets the answer "I don't know." As the plane approaches 10,000 feet, several people say they aren't ready, and one shouts, "Jimmy, I hate you! I changed my mind!"
The others jump. Jimmy calls it probably their "biggest fear ever" and says it was done "for you guys," then confirms after landing: "I'm not dead. I'm alive." On the ground, the group realizes Chandler is missing. Chandler never jumped: "Sorry Jimmy, I'm not doing it!" Jimmy says it's a good thing Chandler wasn't invited to the final experience.
Climbing to the Top of the Burj Khalifa
The last experience is the Burj Khalifa, which Jimmy describes as a 2,700-foot building. Getting to the top starts with a series of elevators that go up more than 160 stories. For the remaining 900 feet, Jimmy has to climb on foot, mostly up ladders.
Jimmy says they "underestimated how hard it is to get up to the top." After a full hour of climbing, there was still a lot of building left, and more than once Jimmy thought the top had been reached only to find more to go. Jimmy started to doubt whether to continue and says, "I don't know if I'm going to make it." What kept Jimmy going was the thought of being one of the few people ever to stand on top of the tallest building on Earth: "I knew there was no turning back."
At the top, Jimmy shouts, "I'm standing on top of the tallest building in the world!" and then admits it's terrifying, that looking down was a mistake, and that they might throw up. Jimmy jokes that Feastables tastes better on the ground, where they're "not on the verge of passing out."
Jimmy ends with a reflection on the climb. Jimmy says they have found "time and time again that when I face my fears, I usually end up enjoying it and learning a lot about myself." Jimmy encourages viewers to step outside their comfort zone and "do something you wouldn't normally do," because they'll probably enjoy it and learn about themselves.
I'm about to show you what a half-million-dollar experience looks like. I promise this is going to blow your mind.
In this video, you will find out why it cost a quarter of a million dollars to simulate going to space. Why it costs $50,000 to explore the depths of our oceans.
Whoa! It's coming right at us!
And every other experience we tried along the way.
I'm standing on top of the tallest building in the world! Oh my God!
All the way down to the cheapest experience I could find. Riding a camel.
How long can I ride this camel for a dollar? One dollar, two minute. Deal. That's a great $1 experience.
Hold on tight. Wait. Hold on tight, why? Oh my God.
I wanted to ride camels in Egypt, but they're way more than a dollar. So I'm gonna throw the pyramids up in post.
Yo! Yeah. It's beautiful.
Dude, this is a workout to stay on this thing. I'm so high up in the sky. Now you know what it's like to be me and Chandler. Okay.
$1 only got us two minutes and that time is up. Let's go have dinner in the sky.
For $10,000, you can go 3,000 feet in the sky with a chef who uses this hot air balloon as her kitchen.
You can see the shadow from the balloon over there in the field. Dude! This is a little higher than I expected, I'm not gonna lie.
But this isn't your everyday dinner at 3,000 feet in the air. This Michelin-star chef uses the flame from the hot air balloon itself to literally cook the food for the meal she's preparing.
MrBeast. Oh. Yo! That's our next course of food, bro.
Now, we're about to have fish that they cooked with the fire from the hot air balloon. Oh, thank you.
Oh my gosh. Jimmy, this is amazing. Look how beautiful it is down there. Such an amazing view while we eat.
This fish never dreamed of being this high up. If you got an extra ten grand and want to impress a girl, I would recommend this.
Every single one of these ten gourmet courses was phenomenal. But I still had one question I needed to ask.
As a Michelin-star chef, what do you think of this Feastables bar? Very good on balance. And what I like is the crunch in the chocolate.
Feastables is now Michelin-star approved. The 10K experience was very beautiful. Amazing.
Up next is the 50K experience and Chandler and Karl have no idea what I have in store for them.
What do you think of the yacht? I think it's beautiful. It's pretty. Yeah. Do you think it costs 50 grand for the day? No. Okay. So look over there.
We're gonna go on a submarine expedition. Oh my God. You guys ready to explore the floor of the ocean? Yeah! Okay, let's do this.
What? We're not doing that. Let's head over. Okay. Come on. Yeah!
Let's go explore the floor of the ocean. Okay. All right.
This is awesome. Whoa! I can already see fish. Look! We haven't even gone down yet. Look, it's a barracuda!
You guys want to scrape the floor of the ocean? We can. We can do anything. We have this entire submarine to ourselves and can explore whatever we want. Let's do everything. Except crashing. We are not allowed to do that. Okay.
And to make sure we got the very best angles down here, we paid scuba divers to follow the submarine.
Isn't this cool? Let's communicate with them: "Shark behind." Everyone freak out. Okay? Start freaking out. Got 'em!
While we're underwater, Tareq and Nolan are also on a $50,000 safari in Africa. And we're gonna see if we see more cool creatures down here than they do over there. Spoiler. We will.
This is gorgeous. All right, let's go find the king of the jungle. We cannot leave Africa until we see a lion. Do you understand? I do understand. Why did you point at me like that?
Look, look, look. Oh, warthog! Yo, it's Pumbaa! You scared him. You scared him. I'm sorry, I shouldn't yell. I was not supposed to yell.
Zebras! I feel like zebras would taste good. Like if I was a lion, I'd always go for a zebra. They just look thick. What?
Bro, this is so worth $50,000. Yeah. This is so worth Jimmy's $50,000.
Wait, Karl, what if instead of being a ship that's a submarine? We're taking this thing back up again.
Wow, look at how close we are to those rocks. Is it okay? How close we are? Yeah, it's okay. All right.
But we weren't the only ones getting up close and personal.
Zebras! Where are you going? Hey, buddy. Wait! Don't go. Come back!
Tareq, let's talk about the elephant in the room. There's two right behind you. They are unnervingly close. They're very close. Oh, it's awfully close. It is coming towards us. We just got charged by an elephant.
Oh, it's there! It's the coolest thing ever! Look at him! That thing is a unit. That's my dad.
This is way cooler than a submarine. I'd rather see this than a fish. Also, my heart's beating out of my chest right now.
And that was the 50K experience. What we have coming up next is even better. This thing pales in comparison to the $250,000 zero-gravity experience.
This company will fly you up and then nosedive, creating a zero-gravity environment inside the plane. The $250,000 experience starts now.
Oh, my water! Wow. Oh my God! I'm upside down! Oh my God. Oh, I can't stop floating! Go long!
Oh, that was awesome. Oh my gosh, this is sick!
On this next drop, we're gonna race to the other side. Turn on zero gravity.
Oh, yeah. Dude! I'm winning! I can't go anywhere! Nolan's losing.
We made it! We made it. We won! Guys!
Turns out racing without gravity doesn't work so well. But luckily, Karl had a better idea.
I'm gonna test out a leaf blower. All right, wait for it.
He's spinning! Oh God! He's actually spinning! Stop! Oh my God.
And before we turn the gravity off again, we're gonna try to make some of our MrBeast Lab Swarms in zero gravity. You ready? Yeah. Nolan, let's try to make some!
I created the coolest toys ever. All you have to do is pour water into the tube, shake it and you'll find out which Swarms you got.
I’m gonna squirt some water. Give me some! We’re getting swarmed by these toys right now.
This isn’t as easy as I thought. Anyways, there's over 119 Swarms to collect. You can find Swarms in packs of five, packs of two and singles available at Walmart, Target, and Amazon in the United States and everywhere around the world at your top toy retailers.
It’s my favorite toy! I’m weightless. Go get it at your local Walmart. These are the most exciting toys this holiday season and they're flying off the shelves. Karl, catch! Make sure you buy MrBeast Lab before they're sold out.
That's going to be cool. Hold on, Nolan, catch. Yeah. Body slam!
I have no idea how the $500,000 experience is going to top this. But let's go find out.
And after going all around the entire world to film this video... We’re at the $500,000 experience. This is the craziest view ever.
Unlike any spectacle seen before in the history of mankind, my friends and I are about to see what half a million dollars can allow you to experience in the most luxurious metropolis in the entire world. The city of Dubai, a place carved from the desert but created for pleasure.
And at the end of this video, I'm going to become one of the few individuals in history to stand on top of the tallest building in the world. We went all out. It is going to blow your mind. Let's go have some fun. How are we here?
So after we found our way off this 500-foot picture frame, we made our way over to this castle of a hotel. Wow. This is insane. Water in our backyard.
The first two floors of this hotel room are magnificent. But the coolest one, by far, is the third level that's completely underwater.
Oh my God! Welcome to Atlantis. We love you all. Except for you, Karl. Sorry, man. He went into a thing with sharks just to make fun of me.
For the record, there is over 80 sharks in this tank. And later in this experience, we're actually going to be swimming with them.
And for the cherry on top to wrap all this up. Come on. We're going to go skydiving. No way. Yes! Dude, falling from thousands and thousands of feet in the air. Don't worry about that. Let's go race F1 karts. Yeah.
What better place to do so than at the Dubai Autodrome? Home to some of the fastest cars in the entire city. Just grab whatever car you want. Let's go race. All right. Let's go.
And I called up some of the biggest local creators to have a field day with these supercars. Let's have some fun. They're going so fast.
And this is just the first of many experiences we're going to be doing here. We are just getting started. I'm ready to race!
We’re about to lap someone. We're catching up to them. Oh no, Jimmy! No, no. Come on, grandma. I don't think my mom will be happy watching me race. I don't think she could drive slower if she wanted to. That's illegal. Okay. That's really illegal.
While my friends and I were pretending to be race car drivers. Woo! Karl was getting ready to drive an actual Formula-level race car. I look so cool now. Let's do this thing.
Off to a rocky start. Oh my God, I'm driving a formula car! This is the best day of my life!
For the price of this experience, we actually got to keep this brand new Lamborghini. I want to enjoy it a little bit. In case you were curious, this bad boy is fast.
Let's go to an NBA game, all the way in Abu Dhabi. But to be honest, guys, I'm not the kind of guy who likes to drive around sports cars and plus, we cannot find a parking spot. So, I'm just going to find someone to give this thing to.
Do any of you watch the MrBeast channel? Yup! That says subscribed! Can I just give you this Lamborghini? I’d prefer someone else to have it. What? What the heck just happened?
Hey, sir. Security, can you come over here? Oh, he’s subscribed! Can I just give you this Lambo? Yeah, please. All right, get in. This is officially your Lamborghini. I am actually shaking right now.
This is why you gotta make sure you're subscribed. I'd hate for you to lose a Lamborghini. Hey, boys. What are you doing? We got courtside tickets. Enjoy! I am so happy.
With the Lamborghini now off my hands, I gotta sit courtside at a pro basketball game. But instead, it just ended up turning into a photoshoot. Nice to meet you!
Then afterwards, I said hi to Steve Harvey. Nice to finally meet you! How you feeling? I’m doing good! And after that, Russell Westbrook. Y’all good? Good.
And with $200,000 worth of experiences left to do. Up next, we got to take over a massive water park. Somehow in the middle of the desert, hang out with penguins. I heard you're the alpha. That is an alpha thing to do.
And since that wasn't enough, I am now in a giant pool with 80 sharks and stingrays. Hello there, sir. Hey! Hey! Come back here! I was trying to talk to you. He's like Buzz Lightyear. Whoa! Oh, excuse me, sir. Yo, we got some...
I am Aquaman, the king of the sharks. My first decree is the sharks bite him and not me. Agreed? Oh, attack Karl! That is a dinosaur! I am your leader. Attack him. No! That should not exist. I think they just unplugged my oxygen.
Well, before this guy turns me into fish food, let's go get our own dinner at a restaurant straight out of the future.
Hello, everybody. Jimmy, you’re sitting there. What is this, Jimmy? I don't know. I don't think I've ever sat at a restaurant this far away from my friends.
Gentlemen, prepare yourself for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We will start with our first appetizer. Take it in one bite!
Cheers. Cheers. What if I don't like it? Is it good? This is amazing. That whole plate was just that one bite? Yeah.
Okay. Whoa. What is going on? What? It's like a Call of Duty mission. Am I getting hacked? I thought this was a restaurant, not a movie theater. I don't know what's going on.
This nine-course meal is surrounded by full 360 interactive visuals that change based on the dish. Whoa! Wait, it responds to your touch.
Boys, we're now defending Earth. I'm impressively bad at this.
But even though the room was impressive.
Dude, they're getting tripped up on my water right now. Look at that.
It was the one-of-a-kind food and drinks that made this experience truly unique.
You can touch the glass; it'll react with you.
We got to try nine mouthwatering courses from freshly caught seafood.
Whoa! Oh my God.
To golden Wagyu burger.
You approve? Oh, yeah. Hey, we found one Chandler likes.
They even had one final course specialized just for us.
Who is that? That's Chandler. That is not... Bro, that is not me.
But anyways, let's keep the experience going. All we have left before I literally fall out of the sky and climb the tallest building on Earth is to test my fear of heights at a pool suspended in the sky.
Look at this view. Jimmy! Oh my God. Are you kidding me? Whatever you're seeing right now does not do this justice. No way.
Standing over 600 feet in the sky, this 360-degree infinity pool gives you a breathtaking view of every square inch of the city.
Let's hop on in, boys. Yeah, I'm getting in.
That island behind me is man-made. Everything about this is mind-blowing.
Now we're going to stick this bad boy over the ledge. Jesus, man. Check out the view. Is that not amazing? We're on top of Dubai.
All right, guys. It's time we fall from the sky.
Dude, you're just falling to the Earth. No, you're falling to this man-made island. Oh my God, I'm so scared.
Buckle up because what you're about to witness, I never thought I'd do in my entire life.
Literal maniacs. Who does this willingly?
But what would a video about experiences be without attempting to face one of my biggest fears: falling out of the sky?
If I don't make this, still upload the video! This is getting real. No! I have a family!
Prepare for takeoff.
It's getting real! We're going up! I know. I can't believe we're actually doing this. This is nuts.
What are the odds I die? I don't know. Oh my God!
Approaching ten thousand feet. We are so high.
I'm not ready. Jimmy! I'm not ready. Go! Come on! You're going first. Jimmy, I hate you! I changed my mind!
Oh my God. Yeah! We're spinning!
Oh, God. I'm scared! Bye, Jimmy! I don't wanna do this!
Oh my God! This is terrifying!
I'm not going!
How was it? I'm scared. You're scared. Yeah. We're still pretty high up.
This is probably my biggest fear ever. Oh, gosh. But I did this for you guys.
Okay. I'm not dead. I'm alive. Where's Chandler? Did Chandler not jump? Where's Chandler? Chandler either didn't jump or splatted on the ground. Oh, God, I hope he didn't jump.
Sorry, Jimmy, I'm not doing it!
Well, it's a good thing I didn't ask Chandler to join me on the biggest experience of this whole video, because... Behind me is the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on Earth. And to wrap up this experience, I'm going to go stand all the way on top of it.
The first step of reaching the peak of this 2,700-foot building is taking a series of elevators over 160 stories into the sky. But as for the remaining 900 feet, I had no choice but to climb to the top myself.
This thing is tall.
That is a lot of ladders.
I underestimated how hard it is to get up to the top. But even after a full hour of climbing, there was still a lot of skyscraper left to go.
I thought I finally made it to the top, but there's still a lot left. This thing never ends.
Step by step, I started to question whether I really wanted to keep going.
I don't know if I'm going to make it. Surely we're almost there.
Take that as a no. But despite all this endurance, I reminded myself that this was my moment to be one of the few individuals ever to experience standing on top of the tallest building on Earth. I knew there was no turning back.
All right. Home stretch! Woo! All right.
I made it! I'm standing on top of the tallest building in the world! This is insane!
Holy crap. I'm high up. Oh, this is terrifying. Oh, I shouldn't have looked down. That's scary. I might puke.
I'll admit, Feastables tastes better on the ground, because on the ground I'm not on the verge of passing out. I'm so afraid of heights.
I find time and time again that when I face my fears, I usually end up enjoying it and learning a lot about myself. I'm very grateful for this experience, and I would encourage you guys to go outside your comfort zone. Do something you wouldn't normally do. I think you'll end up enjoying it and learn a lot about yourself.
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed all the effort we put in this video! I love you guys!
