In a move that sparked much controversy, famous YouTuber MrBeast put a man in a burning building with bags of cash and told him that he could have whatever he could collect.
In a video titled ‘Would You Risk Dying For $500,000?’, Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson put a stuntman through a series of increasingly dangerous challenges, ranging from high jumps to catch bags of cash to entering burning buildings.
Though MrBeast has emphasised the safety precautions taken in the video, many online commenters have called it ‘degrading’ and ‘exploitative,’ accusing him of using people's financial struggles to make them do increasingly ridiculous challenges after a clip of the video went viral.
