Famous YouTuber MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is known for creating attention-grabbing stunts and giving away large sums of money to strangers.
He has gained popularity for his videos, where he gives away large amounts of money to people or does other outrageous stunts such as staying underwater for 24 hours, giving away a private island, and giving away houses.
Among Donaldson's popular YouTube videos are airplane ride stunts. In one video, he rented out an entire commercial airplane and invited his friends to join him on a 12-hour flight to nowhere. The plane took off from North Carolina and flew around the U.S. before returning to the same airport.
Donaldson is back again and has released a new video on YouTube of him and his team trying different expense classes in air travel.
The air travel costs ranged from $1 to $500,000. The one-dollar trip that Donaldson took was on a two-seater aircraft.
Next, his team traveled in a $1,000-ticket airplane. They found this flight better than the $1 ride but shared their experience, saying there was a lack of privacy and there were knee-height doors.
Then they moved to an airplane with the ticket price at $10,000. The aircraft included a bathroom, and there were free goodies as well. But they had to pay $20 to get Wi-Fi access.
The next traveling experience was on a plane with a ticket price of $25,000, where Donaldson and his team found everything pleasant and up to the mark.
After that, they booked a Blimp with a price tag of $100,000. The Blimp had massive letters embedded on it which read, "I love Karl's Mom."

Within 10 hours of the video's publication, it received 18 million views.
MrBeast's YouTube channel has over 140 million subscribers as of April 2023, making him one of the most popular YouTubers on the platform.

Earlier in January, he paid for 1,000 blind people to undergo cataract surgeries to restore their sight.
