MrBeast turned a luxury jet into a psychological trap and dared one man to survive it.
The challenge was simple: spend 100 days inside a $2.5 million private jet without touching the ground, and the plane is yours.
What followed wasn’t some high-flying travel vlog. It was more like a psychological experiment with turbulence, tuna stench, and mild claustrophobia.
The jet could go anywhere. He just couldn’t leave it.

MrBeast made the rules, Armando refused to break them
Armando started strong. He had a positive attitude, seemed genuinely happy to be there, and believed his military background would carry him through.
But it didn’t take long before the shiny private jet started feeling more like a metal tube with zero insulation from reality.
He had no bed. No shower. Just a microwave, some airline catering leftovers, and the knowledge that stepping outside would cost him everything.
When MrBeast offered him $50,000 or a shower, he took the cash. When offered a mystery crate or a mattress, he picked the bed – the crate had a Lambo inside.
He was locked in. Literally and mentally.
He flew the crew around to wherever they needed to go – Miami, Philly – but he never got off.
Even when his wife and daughter showed up mid-challenge, he met them on the tarmac and stayed inside.
By day 50, he was broken and boosted all at once.
Armando came out on top
It wasn’t all torture.
MrBeast let Armando add a ‘yard’ – a connected platform with space to work out. He finally got a bed, and used the tray table as a nightstand. He started DoorDashing supplies like vacuum cleaners, protein bars, inflatable furniture.
He also utilised the plane itself, taking himself on excursions to pass the time, soaking in the scenery from the air.
Then came the scavenger hunt – 10 cities, 10 DoorDash deliveries, 10 days. All while flying the jet solo. He pulled it off and pocketed another $50,000.
And when the 100 days were up, MrBeast hit him with one final offer: stay on board for another 100 days, and earn $500,000.
MrBeast laid out the offer with Armando’s wife and daughter standing right there.
They didn’t hesitate, yelling “No!” as soon as they heard it.
Armando stepped off the plane and straight into their arms.
That’s how you win a $2.5 million private jet. Not by flying it. By surviving it.
The plane was the prize. But getting off it – that was the real win.
