Zinger Key Points
- MrBeast often shows off what different dollar values can buy.
- A new video that is racking up views shows off a rare $100 million vehicle.
YouTuber MrBeast is known for his outrageous videos that often involve a monetary element or some type of giveaway.
In his latest video, MrBeast shows off some of the most expensive vehicles in the world.
What Happened: MrBeast is no stranger to featuring vehicles in his videos, previously hosting challenges that included car giveaways.
In his latest video on YouTube, a unit of Alphabet Inc GOOGGOOGL, MrBeast shows off the different vehicles a person could acquire at various price points from $1 to $100 million.
The vehicles involved in the video were tracked in a post by Autoevolution, breaking down how rare some of the cars really are.
The $1 car featured in the video is a rusted-out vehicle purchased for a single dollar, which was then temporarily repaired just long enough to send it tumbling down a mountain.
MrBeast and his crew also drive a Tesla Model X Plaid from Tesla Inc TSLA and a Lamborghini Huracán, showcasing what six figures can buy in the automotive world.
For a $300,000 vehicle, the video features a Rezvani Vengeance, which is a redesigned Cadillac Escalade with bulletproof doors and windows and armor that can prevent explosions. The video shows the vehicle being put to the test as well.
Featured in the lineup are vehicles costing over $1 million, such as an amphibious car, a vehicle that converts into a plane, and a hydrogen-powered prototype still under development.
Car enthusiast and television show host Jay Leno also makes an appearance in the video as he shows off his McLaren F1 valued at $20 million.
The video includes a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta Roadster that was a gift from Ferrari NV RACE founder Enzo Ferrari to Henry Ford. A 1956 Jaguar XKSS that was originally owned by actor Steve McQueen is also one of the most valuable vehicles in the video. These two cars are part of the Petersen Automobile Museum in California.
Autoevolution was particularly captivated by a Ferrari 125 S featured in the video, valued at $100 million. This car holds the distinction of being the first official Ferrari ever produced, and is one of just two models of its kind in existence.
The automotive blog was surprised that the vehicle, which is stored in a climate-controlled space at the Petersen Museum, was driven on a real road.
For the video and the ride in the first Ferrari vehicle, a nearby bridge to the museum had to be repaired and was closed by police during the ride.

Why It’s Important: In four days, the video has already generated 87 million views and has been a trending video on YouTube since it premiered.
MrBeast has 184 million subscribers on YouTube, where he is the second most followed account and most followed non-brand channel.
Throughout his series of videos, the theme of comparing $1 items to their more expensive counterparts has emerged as a new fan-favorite topic. MrBeast recently explored the differences in value for vacations, yachts, plane tickets and hotel rooms based on price points of $1 all the way up to $1 billion.
While most viewers may never have the chance to experience such extravagant cars or vacations firsthand, they can still enjoy them vicariously through MrBeast's videos.
