"50 YouTubers Fight for $1,000,000" is a YouTube video by American YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, known on the platform as MrBeast. The video, described by Donaldson as his "biggest video ever," featured fifty YouTubers from around the world competing to stay inside a large glass cube for as long as possible while completing challenges.[1] It received over 70 million views in 24 hours, making it his most-viewed video in that time frame, and was sponsored by Samsung.
Background[edit]
Donaldson overtook T-Series as the most subscribed YouTube channel on June 2, 2024, and 38 days later his YouTube channel became the first to reach 300 million subscribers, gaining 28 million subscribers in June 2024.[2] He described the video as new "biggest video ever" with the previous holders including "$456,000 Squid Game in Real Life!" (2021), "100 Kids Vs 100 Adults for $500,000" (2022) and "Every Country On Earth Fights for $250,000!" (2023).[2] MrBeast posted a picture of him with the YouTubers on June 5, 2024, on Twitter and also posted a list of the YouTubers featured in the video before deleting it.[3] Included in the video were three creators from France, several Spanish-speaking YouTubers and CarryMinati from India.[4][5][6]
Production[edit]
MrBeast provided the YouTubers with business class flights and a layover to Raleigh–Durham International Airport which is about two hours from the filming location of Greenville, North Carolina.[7] Each YouTuber received gifts such as AirPods Pros and chocolate as well a shirt with their names on the front and their approximate subscribers on the back.[7][5] The video was sponsored by Samsung with the Samsung Galaxy Ring being used to take YouTuber's heart rates and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 being used to monitor them in the fourth challenge.[2]
Video[edit]
Mark Rober and JiDion were the first YouTubers be eliminated after failing to make basketball shots to win a subscriber of theirs a Cybertruck.[8][5] In the second challenge the YouTubers must cut dalgonas as seen in the Netflix show Squid Game.[5][8] Challenge three was a game of Jenga.[7] The fourth challenge was a "steal or no steal" briefcase challenge.[8] The fifth challenge was to cook for judges Joey Chestnut, Miranda Cosgrove and IShowSpeed, the latter of whom was originally set to compete in the video.[8] Logan Paul accidentally eliminated himself by leaving the cube to smash a plate during the challenge.[8] The final challenge was about figuring out which of the five remaining contestants had the million dollar briefcase in a "game of bluff".[8][9] YouTube animator Jaiden Animations won the cash prize which she intends to use to send a portion of her subscribers to art school.[9]

Release and reception[edit]
The video was released on July 13, 2024, and is over 40 minutes long.[7][1] The video became Donaldson's most viewed video in its first 24 hours with over 70 million views and almost broke the record for 24 hour viewership held by the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer in December 2023 with 93 million views.[2] Additionally videos that YouTubers made about the MrBeast video became popular including videos by Logan Paul, Pokimane and FaZe Rug as well as a Jschlatt video recorded on an "old school" camera.[2]
Joshua Cohen of Tubefilter described the "sheer amount of coordination and gravitational pull" that Donaldson had to get the creators to add the video to their production calendars as "incredibly impressive".[2] Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos said that it was an experience that he would "obviously repeat" but that the Spanish-speaking YouTubers were not featured as much as their American counterparts due to them being "insignificant" in comparison to them.[1] South Korean travel YouTuber KwakTube told the Maeil Business Newspaper that he found it "hard to get to know each other".[7]
