Man being paid $250,000 by MrBeast to live in gym until he loses 100lbs has already seen crazy changes to his body

One of his most controversial experiments yet

While some might think Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson has fallen off amid the whole Beast Games debacle, he's hoping to get back to what he does best and deliver more of that classic MrBeast content that helped him become the most-subscribed channel on YouTube.

Although MrBeast started with his Minecraft and Call of Duty: Black Ops II Let's Plays, he's since amassed a giant following with his videos recreating Squid Game in real life, taking on the world's most dangerous obstacle course, and spending a week stranded at sea.

He's also made a name for himself by dishing out his immense wealth to the general public in videos like "$10,000 Every Day You Survive In A Grocery Store", "Survive 100 Days In Nuclear Bunker, Win $500,000", and "Protect $500,000 Keep It!"

His latest venture sees him offering one man $250,000 to live in a purpose-built gym until he loses 100lbs.

Dexerto got a behind-the-scenes look at the setup, with Donaldson explaining more about how it works.

After showing off the various cardio and weight machines, MrBeast reiterated that the contestant has access to a fully-stocked fridge, a nutritionist, and a trainer.

MrBeast confessed: "We’re actually going to be showing you a video that might not be uploaded until 2026.

"If you’ve ever seen any one of my videos, you’ll know that giant red circles mean death. AKA, if you step on it, you’re eliminated.

“Inside this giant circle is a gym, and one of my friends who’s been in here for months."

The man called Majd is apparently one of MrBeast's own friends, and while the prize is $250,000, he could be set to win a lot more. With a series of monthly challenges increasing the potential prize pot, Donaldson added: "By the end of the video, he might actually win over a million dollars."

That doesn't sound like a bad incentive to help someone shift a few extra lbs.

Even though this might sound like hell for some of you, it seems to be working. Although Majd has been in there for over two months at the time the video was published, he lost 20lbs in the first 30 days alone. Keep this up, and he could 'technically' be out in five months.

Dexerto referred to it as MrBeast's most 'insane' challenge yet, but not everyone in the comments agreed.

One unimpressed viewer wrote: "Where is the challenge? He has his own gym stocked full of machines, food, his own trainer, nutritionist AND at least 100k waiting for him at the end of the year.

"This is no challenge. This is a farce created to inflate MrBeast's ego thinking he's actually doing something."

Another added: "Dude’s getting paid to fix his own mess, spending a year upgrading himself, and when he’s done, he’ll walk out with a new body and a bag of cash. That’s not a challenge, that’s a blessing."

A third concluded: "Why do all of these ‘Challenges’ seem like slavery with extra steps?"

In March 2025, MrBeast shared a post revealing some of his upcoming videos, which included a mention of the man living in a gym, a pilot living in a private jet for 100 days in hopes of keeping it, and a cop/criminal living in a jail for a 100 days for $500,000.

While some think Donaldson will never return to highs like the video where he built and gave away his own Willy Wonka-inspired chocolate factory, it's clear he's not running out of ideas anytime soon.
