GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: With his charismatic personality and entertaining videos, MrBeast has become one of the most beloved streamers in the industry.

Recently, he took his fans by storm with a viral video featuring him on a first-class airplane, which further solidified his popularity.

A recent video circulating on social media showcased MrBeast endorsing the first class of an airplane. Initially, many speculated that he must have been offered the services for free, given his soaring popularity. However, MrBeast shed light on the details behind this collaboration. He revealed that he had actually bought tickets for all of his crew members, investing a staggering hundred thousand dollars to ensure an authentic and captivating experience for his fans.

Unfortunately, MrBeast encountered quite a few obstacles while trying to bring his creative vision to life. The crew members of the airline appeared hesitant to comply with his team's requests for recording the experience. Negotiations weren't going smoothly, posing a significant challenge for MrBeast's streaming plans.

Undeterred by these setbacks, the video depicted MrBeast's team tirelessly negotiating with the airplane crew, employing various strategies to secure permission to record. Despite the difficulties, the video turned out to be a resounding success for both MrBeast and the airline company. Within a short span of time, it garnered over a hundred million views from eager fans.

For the airline company, the video served as a tremendous source of exposure, attracting a wave of new customers. The initial reluctance of the company's crew to MrBeast's unique concept may have caused some concerns, but the collaboration eventually proved to be highly lucrative, providing the company with substantial financial benefits.

Rarely, rumors circulate that content creators receive extra benefits for promotional purposes. However, MrBeast swiftly put these speculations to rest, confirming that he personally paid for all of his crew members' tickets. This disclosure showcased MrBeast's commitment to providing genuinely valuable content to his fans.

'He helps a lot of people doing it'

One user wrote, "That airline is doing just fine without his promotion videos," while another noted, "The airlines protect the industry as much as possible. Not all vlogs and online recordings are positive, so they just say no to protect themselves from a grim outcome." Another user commented, "A true luxury brand doesn’t need to advertise itself."

One user spoke in support of MrBeast saying, "Hey, at least he's not one of these influencers that expects to get everything for free. Unless they come to you, you should expect to pay. Which I'm sure he did expect to pay. That's why I like him, he doesn't act like a big deal, he just does his thing and helps a lot of people doing it."

"Are they villain’s or low key genius?” Both," said another user.
