MrBeast Makes Squid Games a Reality

The 27-year-old YouTuber (real name Jimmy Donaldson) is famous for his challenge videos, which often include people competing for a large sum of money or elaborate prizes.

The billionaire broke the internet in 2021 with his “$456,000 Squid Game In Real Life!” video, where he created a real-life version of the South Korean horror show Squid Game. He recreated the sets from the series and brought in 456 people to compete for $456,000.

The video has over 795 million views at the time of publication.

Fans flocked to the comment section to rave about the fantastic job MrBeast did with this concept.

“This is insanity, never done before in the history of this platform. Hats off to you Jimmy,” one person wrote.

“Unreal! Cannot believe how well this turned out! The set was incredible!” somebody else commented.

Another person wrote, “This is Jimmy making history. Incredible, as always.”

Khaby Lame Fortnite Collab

The 25-year-old social media personality is the most followed person on TikTok, with 162 million followers at the time of publication. In his videos — which don’t include talking — he pokes fun at how people complicate basic things like cutting a banana or getting into their car. In August 2023, the comedian had his fans talking when he got his own Fortnite character.

The Senegalese-Italian influencer spoke to Variety about the collaboration, telling the outlet, “On release day, I turned on the game and started playing. It was surreal. I just stared at my character for a good 15 minutes, to be honest. I am so blessed, and I just took some time to enjoy the game and the experience.”

He also told the publication how he loves it “When my fans send me screenshots and shout-outs of them playing my character.”
