In the unpredictable world of high-profile stunts, YouTuberMrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, has once again pushed the boundaries of what's possible, leaving his audience in awe and, in this case, tears.
The latest stunt? A seven-day burial challenge that took the concept of going underground to a whole new level.
With a subscriber count of 212 million and a monthly income ranging from $3 to $5 million in ad revenue, MrBeast is no stranger to extravagant challenges.
From counting to 100,000 to navigating a "Resident Evil"-style "laser maze," he consistently raises the bar for content creation on YouTube.
MrBeast a futuristic vampire?
In his most recent escapade, MrBeast decided to channel Uma Thurman's iconic "Kill Bill" character by getting buried alive for seven days.
The daring stunt began with Donaldson being lowered into a transparent coffin equipped with essentials like food and water, turning the experience into a futuristic vampire-esque ordeal.
To ensure the safety of this underground adventure, cameras were strategically placed to record the video and monitor any unforeseen issues.
Then came the climactic moment, as 20,000 pounds of dirt were ceremoniously dumped on the coffin, sealing MrBeast beneath the surface.
As the days ed, the seven-day dirt nap took a toll on the social media sensation.
Donaldson, reduced to tears multiple times during his self-imposed entombment, faced both physical and psychological challenges.
The threat of blood clots was also a concern, making his release from the coffin a meticulous process.
Standing up too quickly after lying down for seven days posed a risk of fatal blood clots forming in his body.
A medic was brought in to check his vitals, addressing concerns about potential clots in his legs.
Fortunately, the fear was unfounded, and MrBeast emerged from his temporary interment unscathed, shattering his previous record of being buried alive for 50 hours in 2021.
Donaldson facing backlash for Africa initative
Beyond the adrenaline-pumping stunts, Donaldson is recognized for his acts of philanthropy, which have sometimes courted controversy.
Recently, he faced criticism for funding the construction of 100 wells across Africa to provide clean drinking water, with some accusing him of "monetizing kindness."
Unfazed, MrBeast declared, "I'm always going to use my channel to help people and try to inspire my audience to do the same."
With 211 million subscribers and counting, MrBeast remains unapologetically committed to his unique brand of content creation, aiming to sur T-Series and become the most subscribed channel on the platform.
Whether buried underground or making waves online, MrBeast continues to redefine the boundaries of internet entertainment.
